President Wallace—It is moved and seconded that Thomas R. Shipp be chosen Executive Secretary. Are there any remarks?
(Calls of "Question, question!")
Mr Ross—Mr Chairman: I would like to have a little information on that subject. I would like to inquire whether Mr Shipp occupies any position of trust or profit in the way of emolument under the United States or any State government?
(Calls of "Question!" "Regular order!" "Order!")
President Wallace—The Chair is unable to give the Gentleman any information on that subject. The question is called for. All in favor, signify by saying "Aye." (Hundreds of voices: "Aye.") Contrary "No." (Pause.) The motion is carried.
Voices—"Shipp, Shipp!"
Mr Ross—Mr Chairman—
President Wallace—Has the Gentleman a motion to make?
Mr Ross—I was recognized by the Chair and the previous question has not yet been voted upon.
President Wallace—Has the Gentleman any motion to make the order of business?
