TATE IS ATTACKED S FOE OF MASSES Same Objection - Met in Hughes Nomination Arises in 1. C. C. Fight. By the Associated Press. The same objection which met, but failed to reject the nomination of Charles Evans Hughes as Chief Justice of the United States is being raised in the Senate against the confirmation of High M. Tate as a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission. ‘Tate is criticized by a small group of Southern Democrats as one who, by environment and professional associa- tion, is prejudiced in favor of the great corporate interests of the Nation as opposed to the masses of the people. A vote on his nomination was de- ferred until today, when vigorous op- positicn_arose resulting late yesterday in a spirited debate, with Black of Ala- bama and Smith of South. Carolina carrying the attack, and McKellar of Tennessee rising to Tate's defense. All three are Democrats. Smith Supports Black. Black asserted that the nominee was attorney for the Southern Railway and the ywer interests and in addition compmned that his appointment was a violation of the spirit of the law re- quiring a bipartisan commission. Smith followed with an expression of the same view. In reply, McKellar read Tate's testi- mony before the interstate commerce committee, which passed upon the nomination, in which he said he had not served personally as counsel for ecither the railways or power interests although his law firm had some of ‘their business. Black read the law requiring that asserted that Com- , who was appointed 8s a Democrat, had actually as & Republican. With the appointment of Tate as a Republican, he claimed, the commission would have seven Re- publican members. Republicans Enter Debate. This assertion brought three adminis- tration Republicans into the debate, Fess of Ohio, Goff of West Virginia and Watson of Indiana, the party leader. They asserted that Woodlock had been recommended as a Delm%;:t byn ysuc;h, prominent members of pal Bernard Baruch and had in addition represented himself as a Democrat, ‘While the opposition to Hughes was borne in large part by the independent Republican group from the Middle West, their attitude toward Tate re- mained unknown. Only one member of the faction took part in the debate. He was Blaine of Wisconsin. Black had called attention to news- paper reports that Tate was recom- mended by Jeremiah Mtillbank, a di- rector of the Southern Railway, he said, who owns 50,000 shares of that m ’s stock. wnmg asked if this was the Mill- bank whose houseboat President Hoover used for a week’s fishing off the Florida Coast and received an affirmative answer.

CANBERRA ' (#).—The 'Australian federal government has decreed that export of rams to South Africa and South America must stop, holding that it is suicidal to build up the flocks of PRIMARY PROBE RESOLUTION OFFERED —_— Norris Asks Committee to Inves- tigate Senatorial Cam- paigns. Appointment of a Senate committee to investigate campaign expenditures of senatorial candidates in the approach~ ing primaries and eleotion was.proposed in a resolution introduced today by Sen- ator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska. The resolution was referred to the Senate elections committee for consid- eration. It called for a far-reaching ex- amination into the expenditures and “influences” employed in the senatorial primaries and conventions, Senators up for re-election this year would be barred from membership on the com- mittee which is to be named by the Vice President. Senator Norris himself is a candi- date_for re-election, So is Senator Borah of Idaho, anothér leader of the Western Republican independents, and Senator Walsh of Montana, the 'acting Democratic leader. A similar committee was named four years ago, and on the basis of its re- ports of expenditures in Pennsylvania and Illinois the Senate refused to seat Frank L. Smith of Iliinois and William S.

PRISONER SLIPS CUFFS, Houdini Trick Brings Surer Irons for Roy Harris at Court. Roy Harris, & young man convicted late yesterday before Justice Peyton Gordon in Criminal Division 1 on a charge of counterfeiting, staged a “Hou- dini” when handcuffed in the cell room. He demurred to the shacles and when overruled by the deputy marshal sub- mitted to being handcuffed. When the marshal had turned his back, Harris, inserfing & toothpick in the cuffs freed his hands, and smilingly returned the irons, “You opened them, but you won’t| open these,” remarked Deputy Marshal Ceremile, a5 he placed & pair of the old-fashioned irons on the prisoner Harris had them on when he arrived at the jail. ‘Owners of & coun rz house in England | recently advertised for crickets which would sing on_the -hearth. e . emington el Portable Type- writers, $60 Wm.
