NAVY EQUALIZATION BILLHEARINGSON Favorable Report Due Soon on Measure to Promote Staff Officers. Honrings on the Navy Department's equalization bill, which proposes to glve all staff officers of the Navy the same opportunity for promotion at exactly the same time that thelr co- temporaries of the line are promoted, progressed rapidly today with indfca- tions that an early and favorable re- port wiil be made to the House by the naval affairs committee.

Hornberger of the Supply Corps, in re- “ponse to questions by Representative stephens of Ohlo, explained the pay period,” showing why the bill costs so little.

It was brought out at the hearing ¢ that the Medical Corps i8 now | 500 below {ts authorized strencth, partly due to the fact that promotions have been slow.

The two 6,000,000 cublc-foot rigid airships, which would be authorized under the program, as described be. fore the House committee by Rear Ad- miral Willlam A. Moffett, Navy air chief, would mark a tremendous ad- vance in dirigible armament. This would be carried as a part of the regu. caliber machine guns, 18 of the .30- iber guns, and one of the post-war I-pounder automatics. For these weu- pons, 9,700 rounds of ammunition Wwould be carried 4s a part of the regu. lar military load for each The guns, Admiral are so placed of the ships n enemy alreraft cannot approach from any direction or angle without per- mitting a concentration of fire.” The <hips will not rely for protection upon armor, he said. but upon the non-n- fismmability of hellum gas, the use of which an inflating gas for dirigibles has compelled a revision of afrplane tactics against airships, since | the gas cannot be set afire by machine gun fire or small shells. Must Bomb from Above. “The present contemplated but un- tried tactics of alrplanes against heltum-inflated rigids call for the for- mer to get above the airship and bom her with light demolition bombs, Admiral Moffett explained. “A light plane moving at the rate of 150 miles an hour fs not conducive to accurate bombing. It takes 28 seconds for a bomb to drop from 12,000 feet. An error of one-half of 1 degree from vertical of a bomb sight causes an error of over 100 feet in aim.

MELLON DEFENDED BY SENATOR REED IN SENATE SPEECH (Continued from First Page.) ate. Senator Reed pointed out that the Department of Justice, in filing that suit, had expressly disclaimed that the ownership of bauxite by the company was in violation of the law. The Federal Trade Commission also fafled to criticize the company's own- ership of bauxite, Senator Reed said. Acquired Foreign Firms.

Even before the Government's suit was filed fn 1912 the company had abrogated some of the contracts com- plained of, Senator Reed said. Senator Reed called attention to the :t that the decree was a consent de- cree and that there had been no trial in the case. The Pennsylvania Senator replied that the company had apparently con- sidered that it would be less trouble to let the decree be entered than to fight the suit. Goff Defends Probe. The investigation by the Depart- ment of Justice also was defended in the Senate today by Senator Goff of ‘West Virginia, Republican member of the judiclary committee. Senator Goft spoke in opposition to the adoption of the Walsh majority report urging fur- ther investigation by the Senate com- mittee of the Aluminum company. The Department of Justice, Senator Goff declared, had conducted a ‘“rea- sonably prompt and competent inves- tigation, considering the volume ot work then pending in the antl-trust division. He sald that the criticism of the Attorney General and his as- sistants in the majority report was unwarranted and unfair. The West Virginia Senator also challenged the right of the Senate to make the investigation of the Alumi- num company and the Department of Justice, called for in the Walsh reso- lution, under which the committee has so far proceeded, or to make the investigation proposed in the majority report. The very theory on which the investigation has been begun by the Senate is wrong, he said. Terms Powers Limited. Senator Goff cited precedents ‘to show that the executive branch of the Government, from the time of Washington down to today, has re- sisted efforts of the legislative branch to encroach upon its rights. He quoted also from decisions of the courts to show that the powers of Congress were limited when it came to examining into alleged crimes. “Neither Congress as a whole nor either house is vested with any gen- eral supervisory power over the Presi- dent and the executive departments, sald Senator Goff. ‘“The inquisitorial powers of Congress are strictly limited to subjects in regard to which it has a constitutional duty to perform, and the enactment of legislation is the principal business of Congress. Con- fress may not push its demands to a point which would interfere with the | performance by the executive of its nstitutionz1 duties. Senator Goff arguel that as the Senate is not vested with the power of | impeachment, it clearly is not author- lized to Investigate the conduct of executive officers. However violently the Senate may disagree with the acts and policies of the executive branch; however urgent enate may feel called upon to expose alleged delinquencies and mal versations. the fact remains that its province does not extend to those sub- Jects,” said Senator Goff. Cites Precedents. Citing precedents to prove his con- tention that the executive branch of the Government had from its earliest days resisted efforts of the legislative to invade jts constitutional rights, Senator Goff sald: ““In 1796, the House requested Pres dent Washington to lay before it cer tain with the King of Great Britain. “The President refused, pointing out that the assent of the House is not necessary to the valldity of a treat ***As it is essential to the due admin. istration of the Government,’ Presi- dent Washington wrote, ‘that the boundaries fixed by the Constitution between the different departments should be preserved, a just regard to the Constitution and to the duty of my office forbids a compliance with your request.’ Senator Goff said that in 1925 the House requested President Monroe to transmit certain documents relating to the conduct of certain officers of the Navy. He refused on the ground that it was due to the individuals un- der criticlsm that they be not cen- sured without just cause, which could not be ascertained until after a thor- ough and impartial hearing. In 1883 Andrew Jackson refused the request of the Senate to send to that body a copy of a paper alleged 10 have been read by him to the heads of the executive departments relating to the removal of the depos. its of public funds from the Bank of the United States. He also refused later to send to the Senate coples of charges against a former surveyor general who had been removed from office. He pointed out that he as President possessed the _exclusive power of removal from office. The Fresident, he sald, was only required to account for the manner in which he performed his duties in constitu- tional method, through impeachment. Cleveland Incident. Senator Goff continued: A remark- able assertion of the legislative control of the executive departments occurred in the first Cleveland administration. In 1886 the Senate adopted a resolu- tion directing the Attorney General to transmit to it all papers in the department In relating to the conduct of the office of district attorney for the southern district of Alabama.” The Senate was Republican.” The Attorney General replied first at the direction of the President. The Senate was aroused, holding it would be construed that the Attorney Gen- eral was the servant of the President. It passed another resolution condemn- ing the Attorney General for his re- fusal. President Cleveland replied: “I do not suppose that the public offices of the United States are regu- lated or controlled in their relations to elther hLouse of Congress by the fact that they were created by laws enacted by themselves.

In order to have this liberty, it is requisite the Government be so constituted as one man need not be afraid of another. “When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the sanfe body of magistrates, there can be no liberty; because ap. prehension may arise, lest the same monarch or Senate should enact tyran- nical laws, to execute them in a tyran- nical manner. “Again there is no liberty if the judiciary power be not separated from the legislative and executive.

AMHERST, Mass., February 25. Round-by-round analysis of the box- ing mafch which John (“Young") Coolldge lost on points to “Battling Matty” Sflverman in the college tourney here shows that Amherst has a budding young fighter in the son of the President of the United States. It was Johnny's debut in the squared circle and all who saw the big encounter agree that the novice not only sports a mean left, but is 4 glutton for punishment. Today the Coolidge boy is nurs- aching jaw, in evidence of some of the punishment he received. while Matty proudly displays a bandaged eyebrow to his envious fellow stu- dents, to say nothing of a tender feeling in the stomach, not visible. About 300 spectators crowded the armory to witness the three-round set-to. The fight by rounds follows: Round Onc.—Both fighters opened with a rush, John planting a hard one on Matty’s jaw as he retreated from a couple of sharp digs on the beezer. Coolidge mixed in some quick foot. work as Silverman rained an on- slaught of blows at his adversary. The White House boy absorbed some thuds on the body and head before he found an opening. He then dou- bled the Brooklyn boy with two rights to the solar plexis. Matty registered | pair of “umphs” in response, and | distress.
