Viewing the stupendous task of or- nization as a mere bagatelle, to be g:ndled in the orderly fashion he has learned from _experience, Director Stuart thinks that the greatest diffi- culty before every one concerned with the census is one of education. “The hardest job we have,” he said, “is to make the &”l’ realize that the census can only be as complete as th make it; to convince them that wha they want to know about must come from themselves.” ferred to difficulties of obtainin mation of more or less person acter—all of which is received est confidence bey loses its cting the counting tos, from two to four weeks in e y district and about a month in rural di- visions, the director predicted reception ‘Washington of all schedules by July or August.

STRICKEN LAST SPRING. Hitchcock Had Opened in “Your Uncle Dudley” in Chicago. 3 CHICAGO, November 25 (#)—The illness that removed Raymond Hitch- cock from the stage in the face of what criticis predicted would have been one his best comedy vehicles struck him here last Spring a few wights after he opened in ‘“Your Uncle Hudley.” Hitehcock, who dis today in Los Angeles, went into pe'fhrmance of that play against the advsce of physiclans, who told him he shoi\d rest. The com- pany had been asseribled, however, and Hitchcock insisted on going. through with it. Chicago critics pronounced his performance the opening night as among the best of his long career. Hitchcock was taken to a hospital, where his condition was critical for several weeks. Later he was removed to Kansas City, where he slowly re- cuperated. Producers of “Your Uncle Dudley” withdrew the show for the Summer rather than replace the star. It was hoped Hitchcock would be able to re- sume ‘his role in the Autumn, but he did not recover sufficiently to with- stand the rigors of daily dppearances. £ | W MGAUGHEY INHUNT CAMP WMedical Expert of Veterans’ g:aduce a wellspring of information for dustrialists to base their business plans upon, for economists and other scientists to make deductions from and for private citizens to study, CEE L RUSSIANS CAPTURE AND FIRE KHAILAR AS THOUSANDS FLEE (Ccntinued From First Page.) poured into Buchatu, 150 miles south- east of Khailar, where the military at- tempted to set up new headquarters.

Will Make Any Suggestion to Belligerents Thought of Value, By the Associated Press. Secretary Stimson said today he re- garded the renewed warlike activities between the Chinese and Soviet as seri- ous, and in the event any suggestion on the part of the United States might be thought of value in clearing up the situation it would be made by the Amer- ican Government. He added the activities in the Far East were being watched closely. It was made clear at the State Department, however, that many of the reports of the situation there were believed to be exaggerated. MANCHURIAN SALARIES CUT.

McGaughey, 49, medical supervisor and expert in neuropsy- chiatry, of the central office, United States Veterans' Bureau, died in a hunting cabin near Richmond, Va., yes- terday from a heart attack super- induced by shock, according to word received here today. ‘The heart attack is said to have been brought on from exposure and shock suffered when he fell from a boat while hunting. Dr. McGaughey was visiting Dr. C. T. Wilfong, regional medical offi- cer at Richmond. ‘The body will be brought to Wash- ington for burial in Arlington Cemetery. Dr. McGaughey is survived by his widow, Mrs. Helen D. McGaughey, of 2121 New York avenue; a daughter, Elizabeth McGaughey, and a son, Carl W. MeGaughey, jr. A native of Greenfield, Ind., he was graduated from Butler College and In- diana Medical College.

He also served in the Army Medical Corps with the grade of captain. Subsequently he en- tered the blic Health Service and later was transferred to the Veterans' Bureau when certain work carried on by the Public Health Service among war veterans came under the jurisdic- tion of the bureau. . SUPREME COURT WILL PASS ON LARGE CLAIM Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. Asks $136,000 for Switchboard Loss. ‘The Supreme Court today consented to pass on the claim of the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. that the Government should reimburse it for approximately $136,000 lost through in- stallation of a large telephone switch- board for the War Department during the World War. To meet the increased demand for additional telephone facilities, the War Department erected a_telephone ex- | change of its own at 1723 F street, and the telephone company equipped it with a new switchboard at a cost of $401,- 113. At the close of the World War, when the exchange was closed, the telephone company found it would suf- fer a net loss in disposing of the switchboard of approximately $136,000, and sought to recover that amount from the War Department. When it failed it brought suit in the Court of Claims, but again lost, the court hold- ing that there was no contract under which the Government had promised to protect the company against loss on the switchboard or any facts from which such a contract could be im- plied.

Kinnard, president of the Bell Telephone Co. of Pennsylvania, has announced that the company plans to spend $44,000,000 on construction projects in this State next year. This 1s $10,000,000 more, the an- nouncement said, than the company had planned to spend before President Hoover began his move for the stimu- lation of business. “Prom 1930 to 1934, inclusive,” Mr. Kinnard said, “we will spend in Penn- sylvanis a total of $215,000,000 in new program includes new bulldings, new tral office equipment and new Joca ‘and peu ines, the | construction.” The D.

No schedules were filled by them at_this time. Recent financial reports on the con- dition of the concern, however, indicate that lack of working eapital was largely responsible, coupled with a statement showing that in recent months assets have been “somewhat frozen.” F.

CLYDE MILAN GOES WITH BIRMINGHAM Special Dispatch to The Star. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., November 25. —Appointment of J. Clyde Milan, now a member of the coaching staff of the ‘Washington Base Ball Club, as manager of the Birmingham club of the South- ern Association, was announced here today. The Barons’ managerial post was vacated recently by John C. Dobbs, who assumed the management of the Atlanta club. Milan has been in Birmingham sev- eral days conferring with W. D. Smith, president of the local club. Permis- sion to effect & deal with Milan was glven Smith by Clark Griffith, the Washington club president. Milan's organized base ball experience extends over 30 years, during which time he has served as player, coach and manager. His first professional service was with Clarksville of the North Texas League in 1905. Two years later he was bought by the Washington elub from Wichita of the Western Association, and was a brilliant outfielder with the Nationals for 16 seasons, managing them in 1922. After leaving the Washington club he filled managerial posts at New Haven in the Eastern League and Memphis in the Southern League. He rejoined the Na- tionals as coach in 1928, Milan was. born at Linden, Tenn., March 5, 1886. He now makes his home at Clarksville, Tex. CUDDIHY IS KILLED AS PLANE CRASHES 10,000 FEET IN TEST (Continued From_ First Page.) essigned to duty as flight test officer, as head of the flight test division, which is charged with the duty of testing new types of planes, with a view to their adaption in the American naval service. Officials of the department recalled today that Lieut. Cuddihy almost went into a crash about a month and a half ago and had crawled out on the wing to make a parachute jump to safety. The weight of his body, the officers sald, caused the plane to be righted and Lieut. Cuddihy then abandoned the thought of making a getaway by para- chute and crawled back into the cock- pit and flew the ship safely to the ground. In an official statement this morning, the Navy Department said: “Lieut. Cuddihy personified in the highest de- gree all of the best qualities of the American naval officer. His professional ability marked him for duties of great importance; his personality made him a successful, beloved leader. Since his connection with naval aviation, his name has been linked with outstand- ing feats for the furtherance and ad- vancement of aviation. His place in the Navy and in naval aviation will be difficult to fill. “Lieut. Cuddihy was one of the honor students at the Naval Academy, grad- uating near the top of his class, and would have been promoted to lieutenant commander within a short time.” It took Navy enlisted men an hour and a half to extricate the crushed and torn body of the pilot from beneath the engine and mass of twisted wreckage in the hole. A power pump had to be | put in the hole to clear it of water while the satlors dug. Parachute Is Untouched. Lieut. Cuddihy's parachute was strap- | ped securely to his back and the release ring had not been touched when it was taken from the body. Officials at the Anacostia Naval Alr Station could advance no reason why Lieut. Cuddihy had not tried to jump from the ship in its dive. It was pointed out that he, seemingly, had plenty of time to get clear of the falling ship had he seen fit to do so. That he did not attempt to use his parachute, however, leads his fellow officers at the Navy Air Station 10 believe that he did not know his ship was disabled until it was too late to get clear. Lieut. Cuddihy was putting the Brit- ish fighting ship through a series of tests. The ship has been flown several times béfore and had performed up t0 expectations. Lieut. Cuddihy deliberately was driv- ing the plane as a part of these tests when it went out of control. Inquiry Board Is Formed. Searching parties have been sent out by the air staon to find the portions of the plane which were seen by ob- servers to have fallen from the ship in its dive. A Navy board of inquiry is being formed to inquire into the cause of the | crash. Lieut. Cuddihy's body was removed from the scene of the accident and taken to the air station to await ar- rangements for burial, MRS. L. M.

EWERSON-ADSS SEAT FICHT SEEN Wyoming ~ Governor and Woman Democrat May Be Senate Candidates. By the Associated Press. CHEYENNE, Wyo., November 25.—A special election will be called and held as soon as possible in Wyoming to name a successor to the late Senator Francis E. Warren, dean of the United States Senate, who died yesterday in Wash- ington, W. O. Wilson, attorney general, sald last night. The Wyoming law provides if a Sena- tor dles during a session of Congress, & successor shall be appointed to serve until the next general election, but if the Senator dies while Congress is ad- Journed, a special election must be held and a successor chosen by the people. Mr. Wilson sald election machinery would be set in motion as quickly as possible, and a successor probably would be named within 30 days. Call for the special election will be made by Gov. Frank C. Emerson. Fol- lowing the calling of the election, State chairmen of the two major parties in Wyoming will fix a date for conventions, at whir’) time nominations for the can- didacies will be made. Selections will appear on the ballots. Foremost among those mentioned in connection with the conventions’ possi- ble selections are: Republicans—Gov. Emerson, R. D. Carey, Cheyenne, former governor; Bryant B. Brooks, Casper, former gov- ernor; George E. Brimmer, Cheyenne; John W. Hay, Rock Springs; W. C. Deming, president of the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington; Frank W. Mondell, former Represent tive, Washington, and Charles E. Win- ter, former Congressman, Casper. Democrats—Nellie Tayloe Ross, Wyo- ming's only woman governor: C. D.| Carey, Careyhurst; L. A. Miller and J. C. O'Mahoney, Cheyenne; Nels Pear- rna Sheridan, and L. E. Laird, Wor- nd. Whatever candidate is elected at the special election will serve until March 1, 1931. The occupant of the office from that time for the ensuing six years will be named at the general election to be held in the Fall of 1930. Political observers of the State last night saw the possibility of another Emerson-Ross campaign, a contest that as marked Wyoming politics for the last several years. Emerson defeated Mfs. Ross by a narrow margin in the gubernatorial race when Mrs. Ross was seeking re-election. This race was a climax to an ouster battle between Emerson and the late Willlam B. Ross, g':\éernor, who was succeeded by his ow. KELLOGG MENTIONED AS NOBEL RECIPIENT Peace Prize Committee Receives European Names Also. By the Associated Press. OSLO, Norway, November 25.—Among the candidates whose names have come before the committee which will award the Nobel peace prize is that of Frank B. Kellogg, former American Secretary of State and co-worker with Foreign Minister Briand in bringing about the famous Kellogg-Briand renunciation of war pact. Others being considered are Miss Elsa Brandstroem, Swedish Red Cross nurse, who is noted for her work among the war prisoners in Russla; Archbishop Nathan Soederblom, the most prominent Lutheran clergyman in Northern Eu- rope, and Hansen Noeroemoelle, Danish legislator and prominent political leader from pre-war South Jutland, which now belongs to Denmark. Erich Remarque, the German author of “All Quiet on the Western Front,™ was mentioned as a candidate, but his name was not placed before the peace prize committee. BLAST KILLS.Z, HURTS 26.

ESSEN, Germany, November 25 (#).— Two persons were killed and 26 injured in a terrific explosion in the public market hall on Weber Platz today. Two persons were missing in addition. Of "11:1 26 injured 17 were in a serious con- on. The blast was attributed to gas leak- age. It was feared there might be other victims in the debris. The mar- ket hall collapsed in the explosion, burying shoppers. There was consid- erable material damage. SENATE MAY SHIFT | COMMITTEE POSTS Warren’s Death Leaves Ap- propriations Group With- * out Chairman. The chairmanship of the powerful| Senate appropriations committee is left vacant by the death of Senator Warren, Republican, of Wyoming, making neces- sary a still further reorganization of committee assignments. The recent death of Senator Burton, Republican, of Ohio, and the resignation or Senator Edge, Republican, of New Jersey, a few days ago to become Am- bassador to France, had created a num- ber of important committee vacancies. The passing away of Senator Warren | means that the forthcoming committec changes will be more numerous and im- portant. The appropriations committee. headed by Senator Warren for many years, ’u{ldles all of the annual supply bills for thé Government service, and this group of bills wijl form one of the chief tasks of the regular session beginning next Monday, Smoot Is Ranked Next. Since committee chairmanships ordi- narily are determined by seniority, Sen- ator Smoot of Utah, who ranked next to Senator Warren, would become head of ghe appropriations committee under the regular procedure. Senator Smoot, however, already is chairman of the finance committee in charge of the tariff and it was considered improbable he_would relinquish that position. Next in line is Senator Jones of ‘Washington, acting Republican leader, who is chairman of the commerce com- mittee. Whether he would consent to give up this chairmanship was a mat- ter of conjecture, and the Senator de- clined to discuss the matter. Of the remainihg eight Republican members of the committee all but two already are chairmen of committees and the other two, Pine of Oklahoma and Glenn of Illinois, are comparative- ly new members of the Senate. Senator Hale of Maine heads the naval affairs committee, Phipps of Colorado the committee on post offices and post roads; Keyes of New Hampshire, pub- lic buildings; Bingham of Connecticut, Territories and insular possessions; Od- die of Nevada, mines and mining, and Nye of North Dakota, public lands. Committee to Meet Soon. Senator McNary of Oregon, chairman of the committee on committees, has announced that he will ask all Repub- lican Senators whether they are satis- fied with present_assignments and the committee will meet early in the regu- lar session to make any necessary re- ndjiustmenu. It was regarded as Poq- sible that changes might be made wi.ich would have a bearing on the new chair- man of the appropriations committee. Senator Smoot was not prepared to- day to discuss whether he would re- tain chairmanship of the finance com- mittee or take the chairmanship of the appropriations committee. He said he had not considered the matter. ‘Whether the rearrangement of com- mittee assignments will result in any changes in the memberamP of the Dis- trict of Columbia committee probably will not be known until answers are re- ceived to the letter which will be sent to all members of the.Senate, asking them to indicate whether they are de- sirous of chnngint‘my of their present assignments. This questionnaire is to be sent to all Senators by Chairman McNary of the Republican committee on committees. — WILL PRESENT FARCE.

The demand ‘was made in letters to the Commission- ers last week. Apparently the matter was hanging fire today, because of the fact that Maj. Davison was occupled in another inquiry—that of the explosion of a boiler at the McCrory 5 and 10 cent store last week. Bride, unable to confer with Davison this morning for that reason, said he expected to see him later today. “We decided what we were going to do at a conference Saturday,” Bride sald. “We cannot discuss the decision now.” The letters from H. I. Quinn and George E. Strong, counsel for Shelby, and James O'Shea, attorney for Kelly, are understood to have been before Bride and Davison Saturday. The attorneys called the attention of the Commissioners to the fact that the rreum grand jury had nullified the ndictment against McPherson handed down by the previous grand jury, and sald that while there was a “prevalent view” that this was an exoneration also of their clients, the officers themselves wanted full and complete vindication by an official body. ‘The attorneys insisted that the officers are entitled to face their accusers in an open trial. The “accusers” they refer to include members of the grand Jury itself, in addition to persons whose testimony led the jury to condemn the detective chiefs. When the Bride-Davison committee sought to obtain from members of the former grand jury the basis of their charges against the officers, they met with failure. Most of the jurors failed to appear, and others declined to testify. Garnett M. Frye, one of the chief witnesses in the McPherson case, de- clined today to confirm reports that he was dissatisfied with the manner in which he was questioned in the last grand jury investigation of the death of Virginia McPherson. Frye added he would voice his complaint later. FROM GIANT By the Assoclated Press.

Senator Since 1890. ‘Time was when Thomas Hart Ben- ton’s service of 30 years in the Sen- ate of the United States constituted a phenomenal record. Many years after- ward that record was considerably sur- passed by William B. Allison, who was a Senator far more than 35 years. -{ But even that was compelled in time to yleld precedence to the record of Francis Emroy Warren, who surpassed the previous mark in 1928. He had become Senator in 1890, the year of ‘Wyoming's admission into the Unlon, and save for a brief interval caused by the Legislature’s deadlock and conse- quent failure to elect in 1893, he had served continuously since that time. Senator Warren also was the oldest Senator in years of life as well as of service, and was the only man in either branch of the Congress who had served in the Civil War and had received—for his distinguished ‘ll]lnh’{ in the his- toric siege and storming of Port Hudson —the Congressional Medal of Honor. ‘To this may be added that he was more than any other man the founder of the State of Wyoming, that his name 'was officially given to the loftiest moun- tain peak in that State, and that, for his primacy in the sheep industry, he was long ago dubbed ‘“the greatest shepherd since Abraham.” Of Bay State Ancestry. Senator Warren was of Massachusetts ancestry, of the line of Joseph Warren of Bunker Hill, and S. and Cynthia Estella (Abbott) War- ren. He was born at Hinsdale, Mass., on June 20, 1844. A precocious child, he was sent to school at the age of three years, but before he reached his teens he was compelled, because of his father's financlal reverses, to abandon the schoolhouse for the farm. He studied privately, however, and earned money sufficient to enable him to re- turn to the local academy for three years. Then he returned to farming as the employe, and presently the manageg, for one of the largest land- holders in that gggion. All this was Before he reached his eighteenth birthday. Upon attaining the latter and thus becoming eligible for military service, he enlisted in the 49th Regiment of Massachusetts Volun- teers, at first as a private and a little later as a non-commissioned officer. In that capacity he served in 1862 and 1863, nnubl{uund finally in the des- perately contested siege of Port Hud- son. There, on ‘May 27, 1863, he was one of those who volunteered in the “forlorn hope,” the little company who rushed upon the Confederate works in advance of the s'.orml.nf party to fl with fascines the ditch in front of the ramparts so that the storming party could pass over it. Three-fourths of the members of the “forlorn hope” were killed or wounded and among the latter was young Warren, who was stricken senseless by a fragment of a shell. Thirty years later Congress voted him its Medal of Honor, reciting in its order that he “volunteered in response to a call and took part in the move- ment that was made upon the enemy's works under a heavy fire therefrom in advance of the general assault.” And 66 years after that battle the Senate's tribute to him on his eighty-fifth birth- day anntve: was voiced chiefly by Senator McKe! of Tennessee, a son of the Confederacy. . Goes West After His Majority. After being honorably mustered out of the Army, Warren returned to his stock farm in Massachusetts. But soon aff taining his majority he “went West.” For a time he was foreman of a construction crew on the Rock Island Iowa. But presently a te to him the far West- ition as an organized te: mlorrec- him of an to :'muudnmmmgubmt the son of Joseph | at the “boom town” of Cheyenne. He went thither and found “life in the raw.” Cheyenne was chiefly a city of tents, covered wagons and rude shacks, with ‘everything “wide open” and brass bands playing to attract trons to rival gambling houses. T state of affairs jarred upon Warren’s New Eng- land conscience, and while he undertook no crusade against it, he did ally him- self with those who were striving to improve conditions and to make Wyom- ing worthy of the recognition as a Territory which Congress a little later in_that same year accorded to it. When Cheyenne became a city he was chosen in 1873 to be one of its trustees and also rusldenf. of the coun- cil of the Territorial Legislature. Later, upon the permanent reorganization of the local government, hé was a mem- ber of the City Council, and then in 1885 its mayor. This office he resigned to become Governor of the Territory, meanwhile having served for three terms as Treasurer of the Territory. He was governor in 1885-86 and again in 1889-90, the interval when he was out of office being“due to the change of politics in the national administra- tion, of which the governor was an appointee. When the Territory was made a State in 1890 he was elected its first governor and thus served from Septembe 11 to November 24. On the latter date he resigned to accept elec- tion as the first United States Senator from Wyoming. ‘Woman Suffrage Supporter. For more than a full generation he was a member of the Senate, consnic- uous for his energy, fidelity and the general esteem in which he was held by his colleagues regardless of party. Never a merely sho':i or spectacular figure, he was one of the hardest work- ers and most efficient legislators of his time. Among his most important activities were those connected with the reclamation act, under which vast areas of arid lands were made arable and fertile; with the reorganization of the Army and the creation of the gen- eral staff, and with the establishment of various mmlnmt Army posts in the West. Being'a representative of the first State to grant in its constitution equal sutfrage for both sexes, he logi- cally supported the nineteenth amend- ment to the National Constitution. The eighteenth amendment he opposed, be- cause he believed it to deal with a mat- ter which properly belonged to the in- dividual States and not to the Federal Government. With the oncoming of the World War he felt again the patriotic impulse that 50 years before had led him into the “forlorn hope” at Port Hudson and, lifelong, stalwart Republican as he was, he gave unhesitating support to the Wilson administration in all its worthy measures for the prosecution of that conflict. In this he had, doubtless, an esg:chl and peculiar personal interest, arising from the fact that Gen. Persh. ing was his son-in-law. Senator Wa: ren’s daughter, the wife of Gen. Pershing, lost. her life, with her three daughters, in the fire that destroyed their home at the Presidio, in San Francisco, in 1915, and her young son, Francis Warren Pershing, med most of the time with his grandfather, the Senator, during Gen. Pershing’s service in France. There was never any indication, how- ever, that personal considerations in- fluenced Wgrren's public course in the Senate or elsewhere. After the war he became chairman of the appropriations committee of the Senate, and thus had a highly important part in carrying out the rehabilitation and economy program of Presidents Harding and Coolidge. Disdained Senate Elevator, His physical energy and his mental alertness were preserved long after he had become an octogenarian, demon- strating that in his case the strength of his years at four score and more Was by no means “labor and sorrow.” None of his younger colleagues sur- passed him in the ease with which, Sometimes several times' during the day, he walked up the long flights of stairs to the Senate chamber, disdaining to use the elevator; or in the cheerful en- durance with which he sat through the long sessions when filibustering was resorted to by the opposition. On June 18, 1929, a noteworthy dem- onstration was made in the Senate in recognition of his eighty-fifth birthday anniversary two days later, when the Senate would not be in session. The principal address was made by Senator Kenneth McKellar, who was able con- fidently to declare that “every member, Democrat, Republican and Farmer- Laborite, will rejoice and join in ‘wishing for Senator Warren many, many happy returns of the day.” He also pointed out that, as chairman of the appropria- tions committee, Senator Warren had, ge!meen his saventy‘-aeedve&th and eighty- years, supervis e expendit o(fi?fl%tlfl,oflo,flfll&,fi:g. o .

She died on March 28, 1902, and on June 28, 1911, he married Miss Clara Le Baron Morgan of Groton, Conn. ‘TROUBADOURS’ TO GIVE MUSICAL PRODUCTION “The Troubadours™ of George Wash- ington University will present an orig- inal musical comedy, “Gyped ° in Egypt,” at McKinley High School audi- torlum December 12, 13 and 14.

Not Place for Blame. “Why blame even the Senatorial Old Guard for failing to carry out the Presi- dent's policies when nobody can more than guess at what those polices were? “The special session was the outcome of political expediency. Mr. Hoover, during a moment of panic over the dis- satisfaction in the farm States which he thought threatened his election, promised it to enact farm relief. At that time there was no thought of tariff revision, The Department of Com- merce, from the headship of which Mr, Hoover had just resigned, testified in its reports that the business of the country was remarkably prosperous. “On his inauguration Mr. Hoover de- livered his message to the new Con- gress, but instead of limiting it to farm relief he put in the unfortunate subject of tariff r&Njon. True, he said that this ought to be limited to a few in- dustries that were suffering from for- eign competition beyond their capacity to meet. Nevertheless, it. opened the door, and all the favored interests rushed in with demands for increases in duties. “There has never been any. doubt of the President’s control of the House of Representatives. To oblige him the ad. ministration leaders clamped on cer- tain rules which barred out matters ex- traneous to the subject matter of his message. “When the bill was completed it was taken to the White House in advance of presentation to the House of Repre- sentatives. All the engineers who had framed it were there present—Speaker Longworth, Leader Tilson, Chairman of the Rules Committee Snell, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee Hawley and Secretary-Representative Newton. They returned from the con- ference with the President with the bill intact, ran a steamroller over the op- position and produced the bill to the Senate. Never by so much as a word did Mr. Hoover indicate his dissatistac- tion with any phase of it. Conferences With Smoot. “During the long secret sessions of the Republican members of the Senate finance committee the President had con after conference with Chair- man 8moot and Leader Watson and others of the group who were incubat- ing the Smoot-Hawley bill. The Presi- dent maintained his utter silence until the bill reached that stage on the floor When the Democratic Senators and the Progressive Republicans struck out of the measure that vision of the flexible rt;‘rlg‘:ngr wi ‘gilu '.hthzrelident was pe exer urel. legislative function of fixing ntu‘?rhm’: indeed, he found his voice. “Could it have been a matter of any surprise that the country was forced to the conclusion that he would be con- tent with any tariff bill, however ex- orbitant, as long as there remained in his hands the authority to vary rates— an authority which ‘in the history of tariff changes for the last seven years operated in only one way—upward? “It was the indefensible character of the Smoot-Hawley bill that prolonged the extra session beyond reason and re- sulted in the disintegration of the Re- publican majority. “‘Congress was not here because it wanted to be; it was in session because the President called it and laid before it certain tion. That the legisla- tion sought was contrary to the osten- sible purpose of his message can only be explained by one of two hypotheses: Either President Hoover was absolutely lacking in the ?;.l:llty of leadership that should have directed the deliberations of a Congress, in both houses of which e e Tanputge of his mescaks ex- el message ex- K:ened no thought he was anxious to ive carried out. ‘“The Hawley draft would never have been submitted to the House of Repre- sentatives had he signified his distaste for it. The revised monstrosity would never have issued from the Senate finance committee had he advised his Senators there that it was contrary to his wishes. “The assailers of those who have prevented the enactment of the Smoot- Hawley tariff rald had no word of critielsm for the Senate when it balked the effort of Woodrcw Wilson to bring us into membership in the League of Nations, or when it checkmated ths attempts of his successors to have the United States join the World Court. Nor was insurgency regarded &s a crime by them when certain Democrats aban- doned their party’s policies and thus enabled his enemies to wreck the proj- ects of a Democratic President.” Survivor i’ictures Wave That Claimed 18 Lives on Ship Pilot House and Bridge of Gulf Steamer Wrenched Off, but 24 Are Saved.
