Saturday's senate session had hardly begun before tha quartet attacked by Guf fey arose one after another to heap angry, emotion-choked emotion-choked response on the Pennsylva-nian, Pennsylva-nian, who sat, little ruffled, in his accustomed seat. The outbreak of lambasting was reminescent of the party split over the court bill itself. O'Mahoney said it would be well for the Democratic contingent in the senete to remove Guffey from the leadership of the Democratic senatorial campaign committee. Wheeler Hits Farley Wheeler said that Guffey had not written the speech he delivered on the radio. He charged tha broad oast waa arranged by the office of Postmaster Genersl Farley, the chairman of the Democratic national na-tional committee.

"It was not until I csme to see the new deal could quickly be changed into a rotten deal," he said, "that my enthusiasm waned for some of the things I had been supporting.
