I Mrs. Norton Declares She Has No Apology For Rap at Hartley t? th» Associated Pross Representative Mary Norton, Dem ocrat, of New Jersey, who told her House colleagues yesterday she had “no respect for the man who suc ceeded her as chairman of the House Labor Committee, said she had no apology today. “I gave a plain answer to a plain question,” she said firmly. Mrs. Norton, first woman to be elected to Congress under women’s suffrage, made her denunciation of Chairman Hartley, New Jersey Re publican, during debate on pro posed new labor legislation. Asked by Representative O’Toole, Democrat, of New Jersey why she chose to resign in this Congress from the Labor Committee which she had headed for 10 years, Mrs. Norton, with no show of emotion, and looking straight at Mr. Hart ley, replied: "Frankly, In one sense I regret the question was asked. I never knowingly have hurt any member on either side. • • • Reason tor Leaving Committee. “But I have no respect for the present chairman of the committee. In the 10 years I was chairman of che committee, the gentleman from New Jersey, who comes here and talks as if he knew something about labor, attended exactly six meetings in 10 years. “That is my reason for leaving the Labor Committee.” Mr. Hartley, his face red, told the House he frould not use his own words in reply to remarks that “might more properly have been withheld.” He restricted himself to reading a letter he said had been sent to all American Federation of Labor unions in his district by AFL Presi dent William Green. The letter, written in 1940, described him, Mr. Hartley said, as an “outstanding friend of labor,” and urged support for him in the elections of that year. Mrs. Norton was drafted into poli tics by Mayor Frank Hague of Jer sey City, her home town, after she had attracted wide local attention for her work in helping to care for underprivileged children during World War I. Elected to Congress in 1924. In her first venture into politics In 1923 she was elected a freeholder supervisor—of Hudson County. She resigned to campaign for Congress and was elected in 1924 and has been successively re-elected. She has a sparkling wit that even a lengthy sickness last year couldn’t even begin to erase. Almost fully recovered now, Mrs. Norton says, “I only have to be careful.” She describes her 12 successive terms in Congress as a “great ex perience” and says she fully expects to seek another. “And,” she said emphatically, “I fully expect that if the present Congress continues in the way it has started there isn’t a doubt In my mind that the Democrats will win control in 1948.” Sometimes, she says, developments on the House floor “make me so angry .that 1 eould almost cry." “But I wouldn’t. I’d choke first— and then go home and have a good cry.” Volunteers Asked to Help Make Surgical Dressings An appeal for volunteers to make surgical dressings for local hospitals was made today by Mrs, Olaf Solem, chairman of the Red Cross surgical dressing units. “We can never meet more than one-half the quota of bandages ex pected of us because of a lack of workers,” Mrs. Solem said. Volunteers work at Walsh House, 2020 Massachusetts avenue N.W., from 9 a.m. to 4 pm. Monday, Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday of each week and meet at 6 pm. on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
