Chairman Moses said all members of the committee were present and the action was unanimous. He :said the | committee was calling Mallon in an ef- fort to determine the source of his in- | formation and that if a member of the Senate was found to be involved he wouid be in favor of taking action against that party. Read Into Record. ! Publication of the vote, which pro-| voked heated words in the Senate yes- | terday, resulted in the roll call as pub- | lished being read into the record. The roll call, which was sent out was described by Senator Barkley, Dem- ocrt, of Kentucky, as ‘“inaccurate” in several instances. It was read into the record, however, by Senator Blaine, Re- publican, of Wisconsin, after a_futile attempt by Senator Reed, Republican, of Pennsylvania, to stop him. The Senate upheld a ruling of Vice | President Curtis that the published roll call could be read into the record by a vote of 63 to 9. After Senator Blaine had put it into the record, Senator Smith, Democrat of South Carolina, in- quired if there was to be an investiga- tion of the manner in which the names of the roll call reached the press. Sena- tor Watson then announced the rules | committee meeting today. Blaine Resents Question. Senator Blaine said he did not vouch for the accurdcy of the roll call and Senator Bingham, Republican, of Con- necticut, later ssked if it was his purpose to put it into the record in or- der to force those members who were misrepresented to correct their positions and thereby disclose the real roll call. Blaine resentéd the question, and Vice President Curtis called the ecticut Senator to order. Senator Reed was severe in his con- demnation of the publication of the roll call, declaring “there is some hypocrite here who prattles out loud about law enforcement whe in secrecy does what he dares not do publicly and gives out this information.” Senator Glenn, Republican of Illinois, inquired if the purported Lenroot roll call was .published by a reporter for the same press organizgation which ended the World War a week in advance. Reed said he did not know. Senator Caraway, Democrat of Arkan- sas, urged that the Senate abolish the rule of secrecy on executive sessions, “because 1 want to take away from the member of this Senate or the employe the market for his own dishonor.” Reed Scores Ethics. Senator Reed referred later to the “so-called ethics of that so-called pro- fession,” referring to newspaper work. | ‘e all know,” he declared, “that if | any one of the newspaper reporters is called on to testify before a committee 2s fo the sources of his information, then, in accordagce with the so-called ethics of that so-called profession, he will decline to say where he got his information. “It is high time that the Senate took | a self-respecting position in its atti-| tude toward the newspapers that flaunt | its rules.

COVERNORS ASHED. TO CONFERON 01 President Proposes to Createj Interstate Compact for Conservation. By the Associated Press. President Hoover has invited the gov- to send representatives to a preliminary conference at Colorado Springs June 10 to consider the possibility of creating! mr-\ g:t.ersuk compact for conservation | of oil. This announcement was made today at the White House. The President’s action was made upon recommendation of the Federal Oil Conservation Board. The governors were told that the! meeting_would take up the possibility | of creating an interstate compact in| co-operation with the Federal Govern- ! they approved, representatives of the Federal Government will meet with them. Wilbur Government's Man., As chairman of the Federal Oil Con- servation Board the Government's representative would be Secretary Wil- bur of the Interior artment. The action of President Hoover in calling a governors’ conference in line with suggestions made by the Fed- eral Oil Conservation Board to the Pe- | troleum Institute after Attorney Gen- eral Mitchell had ruled that an agree- ment of oil campanies to curtail pro- duction to the 1928 level probably would be in violation of the anti-trust laws.

H Government to Enter Compact. Secretary Wilbur in speaking for the board said that the Federal Govern- ment would in turn become a party to such a compact and take such action as would be necessary to see that the compact was observed by the subscrib- ing States. mediately after the Petroleum Institute agreed to-promulgate a com- pact, the oil cdnservation hoard sent Dr. George Otis Smith to see the Governors of Texas, Oklahoma and California and discuss the possibilities of such a compact with them. Mark L. Requa, ofl administrator during the World War, also has been promoting the plan through discussions with offi- cials of the various interested States and reports from both Mr. Requa and Dr. Smith have indicated to Secretary Wilbur that Oklahoma, Texas and California will be able to reach a com- pact satisfactory to Both the Petroleum Institute and the Federal Oil Conserva- tion Board.

Lindbergh drove the plane down Penobscot Bay for a short distance and leaving the water headed South after circling the island. It was believed the party would not return to the Summer home for zome time, at least, because they returned to the Rev. H. F. Huse an automobile they had borrowed dur- ing their short stay there. Held for Questioning. Robert Tondera, 40-year-old German. who described himself as an aviation mechanic with en invention and plans he wished to discuss with Col. Lind- bergh, was taken by boat to Rockland today to be questioned by Sheriff Frank | S. Harding of Knox County, according to a dispatch from North Haven, Me. Tondera made the trip in company with Deputy Sheriff Ludwig. Contrary to an earlier statement by Selectman Herman Crockett, Tondera was not un- der arrest as a suspicious person. His status during his trip with Ludwig was described as “under surveillance,” but he made the journey voluntarily. Arrived Monday. ‘The man arrived on this island Mon- day noon after a trip from Mexico City via New York City. He said he had met | Lindbergh in Mexico. After arriving| here, he spent considerable time around the Morrow estate, where the aviator is staying with his flances, Miss Anne | Morrow, and other members of the family of the Ambassador to Mexico. Villagers, who have been to a high state of excitement by the invasion of newspaper men and of on this ordinarily quiet island retreat, became suspicious of Tondera and a constable was posted at Tondera’s lodging house. When Ludwig came, Tondera readily | agreed to return with him to Rockland.

REPRESENTATION ASKED IN BOTH U. S. HOUSES Senator Urges Expedition of Action by Direct Reference to Judi- ciary Committee. The joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution under which Congress would be empowered to grant the people of the District of Co- lumbia representation in both branches ot Congress and in the electoral college was reintrotiuced in the Senate this afternoon by Senator Jones, Republican of Washington, who has sponsored the | proposal in the Senate for a number iol years. In again offering the resolution, Sen- ator Jones explained it was substan- | tially the same as previously considered | by former Congresses, with a change in phraseologv to afford a wider latitude | in deciding on the form of representa- | tion in the Senate. He retained the ‘hpiuue heretofore used, entitling the | District to one or two Senators, but ( modified this clause to give Congress | more discretion by adding the words | “or such other representation in the Senate as Congress may provide for.” He did not alter the provision for Representatives in the House on the basis of population. Would Expedite Action. In presenting the resolution shortly |after the Senate met today, Senator J Jones pointed out to his colleagues that { the question has been favorably report- | ed on two former occasions by the Sen- ate District committee and requested that at this time it be referred to the | judiciary committee of the Senate for report. In tHe last Congress the reso- {lution was favorably reported by the | District committee and then sent to the udiciary committee, where it was awail ing consideration when the old Con- gress adjourned. Reintroduction of the resolution was necessary because all | measures left unfinished when one | Congress expires must be offered anew in the next Congress. With the changes in phraseology made y Senator Jones, the resolution reads as_follows: “Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two- thirds of each House concurring therein), that the folowing amendment to the Constitution of .the United States be proposed for ratification by .the Legislatures of the several States, which. when ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the States, shall be valid as a part of said Constitution, namely, insert at the end of section 3, article IV. the following words: “‘The Congress shall have power to admit to the status of citizens of & State the residents of the district con- stituting the seat of Government of the United States. created by article I, ses tion 8, for' the purpose of the repre- | sentation in Congress and among the electors of President and Vice President and for the purpose of suing and being sued in the courts of the United States, under the provision of article III, sec- tion 2.
