SENATE ROW RAGES OVER SECRECY OF NAVAL DOCUMENTS ) Vote Expected to Be Close on Request to Hoover for All Data. WORRIES OF LEADERS ABOUT QUORUM INCREASE rope Cuts Margin to Danger Point. By the Associated Press. Advocates of the McKellar resolu- ton calling on President Hoover for the international correspondence lead- g up to negotiation of the London navel treaty renewed their arguments at the opening of the Senate today while administration leaders pressed for an early vote. After a bare quorum of 49 Senators answered the roll call, Senator Black, Democrat, Alabama, called for adop- tion of the resolution on the ground that it involved a right of the Senate and was not a question of publicity. ‘Treaty proponents were not so much concerned over the document resolution as they were over the delay it might ause in reaching a vote on the treaty itself. Hale Ready to Speak. Senator Hale, Republican, of Maine, chairman of the Naval Committee, was waiting for a vote on the McKellar pro- the treaty. He hoped to make the ad- | “This question of the informal nego- | tiations transcends in importance the question of the treaty itself,’ Black said. “I voted for a favorable report on the treaty in committee. I expect to vote for it in the Senate. I shall vote, how- ever, if a motion is made to that effect, to postpone a vote until the rights of the Senate have been recognized and respected.” The Alabaman contended the Presi- dent was not the ‘“custodias of the files in the State Department and that the Secretary of State was responsible to Congress and not to the Chief Executive. Senator McKellar, Democrat, Ten- nessee, author of the document resolu- tion and an opponent of the treaty, placed in the record a letter from Mrs. William Cumming Story. a former presi- dent of the Daughters of the American Revolution, compimenting his opposi- tion to the pact. She wrote she was sending letters to all Senators urging delay in ratification. Not Expected to Yield. ‘There was no expectation in the| Senate that Mr. Hoover would comply with the request in the event of a vote approving the McKellar resolution. McKellar said the matter would be ended if the President again declines to give over the documents. Mr Hoover has given the Foreign Relations Committee some of the docu- ments, but others he withheld. These are messages exchanged between the ! State Department and Ambassador Dawes at London. There have been intimations they were not given to the committee because of the picturesque | language used by the outspoken Am- bassador. Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl- vania, a member of the delegation to | the London Conference, has offered to show the opponents of the treaty the messages in question in confidence, but they have refused this offer, main- taining they are entitled to the docu- ments for such use as they see fit to make of them. Worry About Quorum. Sponsors of the treaty were given added worries over the problem of keeping a quorum of the Senate present today by the departure of two Demo- | cratic members, Barkley of Kentucky | and Connally of Texas, for Europe. Two quorum calls yesterday each re- vealed 50 members, one over the neces- | sary 49, to be present. The attend- ance is constantly shifting, however, | and administration leaders were conn.l dent other Senators would be present today and in the future to offset the departure of Barkley and Connally. WALSH ASSAILS TEMPLE. Statement on London Treaty Draws Fire of Montanan. Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, sald today that a recent tement of Representative Temple, Republican, Pennsylvania, indicated the Republican party intended utilizing the London treaty “to_eflect the election of Re- publican Congressmen.” In a statement through the Demo- cratic National Committee, Senator Walsh said that from Mr. Temple’s | statement “it is reasonable to be in- ferred by the worldly-minded that President Hoover’s insistence upon keep- ing Senators here to act on the treaty, notwithstanding the devastating heat of Washington in the dog days, is not so much concern for the peace of the | tion,” he said. would “do more to de- feat the treaty than anything that may be said by Johnson, Moses or the In- diana Robinson.” Walsh suggested that if the President really were de- sirous of the ratification of the treaty. “which can be accomplished,” he said, “only with substantial help from the Democratic side of the Senate Cham- ber, he ought to hasten to remove the unfortunate impression that some of of safety. his Indiscreet friends are creating.” LINDY’S SON BEARS FATHER’S NAME, CAN BE KNOWN AS CHARLES A.

CONERESS LEADERS WANTCHEF T0QUT Campaign Committee Heads Prefer Huston’s Resignation Without Showdown. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Republican leaders of the Senate and House today laid their plans to persuade Claudius H. Huston to resign as chair- man of the Republican National Com- | mittee. Representative Will Wood of Indiana, | chairman of the Republican Congres- | sional Campaign Committee, said flatly | today he believed Mr. Huston should | resign the chairmanship of the national committee in the interest of party har- I feel that Mr, Hustqn has been un- justly treated, even maligned,” said Mr. Wood, following a visit to President Hoover at the White House today, “but the fact is that things have reached such a pass that it would be unwise for | him to continue to insist that he will not give up the chairmanship. Senator Watson of Indiana, the Republican leader of the Senate, told me last night | that 32 Republican Senators, many of them friends of Mr. Houston, felt he should get out. I think practically the | entire Republican membership of the | House has the same feeling about it.| I.am hopeful Mr. Huston will reconsider | his determination not to resign and that | he will gracefully step out in the in- terest of party welfare.” Showdown May Come. The indications were that unless the matter of Mr. Huston's resignation was | settled pricr 1o the meeting of Mr. | Huston with the officers of the Repub- | lican National Committee and with Mr. Wood and Senator Moses, chairman of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, tomorrow morning, there would be a showdown at the meeting. Senator Watson as Republican leader | of the Senate is prepared for a request that he attend the meeting tomorrow &t | the Republican national headquarters, | it is understood. Senator Watson, if he | attends the meeting, will set forth the | views of the majority of the Republican | Scnators in regard to the national | chairmanship. | Hope was expressed in Republican quarters today that Mr. Huston, recog- | nizing that party harmony was es-| paign in the offing, would resign. In: deed, in some well informed quarters it was insisted that Mr. Huston would | step aside. The coming campaign | promises to be strenuous. Upon the result of the campaign will depend | the control of the Senate and the| House during the last two years of | the Hoover administration. If the Re- | publicans should lose control of ollhtri House of Congress the administration | hands would be tied so far as its legisla- tive program is concerned. | Members of the Senate and of the House who are up for re-election are | personally interested in the coming campaign also. | Partly Traced to Moses. Rumor had it at the Capitol today that Mr. Huston's insistence upon re- taining the chairmanship was in part at least tracéable to Senator Moses of Nev Hampshire, chairman of the Sena- torial Campaign Committee. Senators were saying that Mr. Moses had disa- greed with other Republican Senators as to the need of Mr. Huston's resigning the national chairmanship. Earl 8.

AL PLOTFORCED DOWN ON ATLANTI Jean Mermoz and Compan- ions Picked Up by Boat Over Half Way to Africa. By the Associated Press. DAKAR, Senegal, July 9.—Jean Mer- moz, noted French airman, on the first West-to-East transatlantic airmail flight between South America and Africa, was forced to come down on the sea when well over half way across today. He and his two companions, Leopold Gimme. radio operator. and Jean D’Abry, navigator, were rescued and the 600 pounds of airmail which they took aboard on leaving Natal, Brazil, yes- terday, was saved. Heads for Boat. Mermoz, three hours earlier, had dis- | covered an oil leak which apparently | was not serious, but two hours before he came down the oil pressure dropped alarmingly and he sent a wireless mes- sage that he was heading toward the dispatch boat Phocee, one of several boats patrolling the route, in case of emergency. The Phocee, being informed of Mer- moz's trouble, started to the rescue and met the plane. She stood by and took aboard the three men and the mail. The mail was to be transferred to an- other dispatch boat and carried at full speed to Africa, for relay by plane to Paris. Mermoz came down north latitude and 24 degrees longitude, about 650 miles southwest of Dakar. Confident of Success. It was at 7:45 am.

A special com- | mittee from this association met yester- day at the Civil Service Commission to formulate the questions and planned to meet again this_afternoor According to C. C. Hathaway, per~ sonnel officer of the Civil Service' Com- | | mission, the special committee has no | | | | chairman, but its personnel is plan- | ning to frame as complete a list of | questions as possible and submit them | first to all the Government depart- | ments before sending them to McCarl. | Under this plan he thought it was pos- sible the document would go to McCarl | about Friday or Saturday. Law's Application not Clear. The purpose of the Brookhart meas- ure was to give an Increase of one | adeitional salary step to employes who | were advanced only one step within | their respective grades under the Weich | act in 1928. But considerable specu- | lation has developed as to how the | Brookhart law will apply to persons | who got only one step in 1928, but :\'hose status has changed in the mean- ime. One question is whether there will be any increase for those who got only one step in 1928, but who have been moved | up to another grade since then without an actual increase in salary. Another | question is whether an employe would | be entitled to an increase of one salary | step now if he got only one step in | 1928, but has since moved up to the | next grade with an accompanying sala- ry increase. There undoubtedly will be other questions of a similar nature, It| was pointed out that because of the | overlapping of salary rates between the top of one grade and the bottom of the next highest, it is possible for em- | ployes in some cases to be transferred to | (Continued on Page 2, Column 3.) | |SAAR BASIN COMMISSION PRESIDENT SUCCUMBS | Prominent in Franco-German Controversy, Is Dead.

STRIING LATHERS DELAY 6 PROEETS Commerce Building Affected| by Demand for $2 Daily Increase. Part of the construction work on the huge new home of the Department of Commerce and a half dozen large private building operations in Wash- ington has been halted by strike by union lathers employed on the jobs, who, it was revealed today, are de- manding & $2 increase in daily wage. Local members of the union brother- hood of the wood, wire and metal lathers recently demanded an increase from $12 to $13 per day, effective July 1, and a further increase from $13 | to $14 per day, effective October 1. These demands were not granted by the Employing Plasterers’ Association, D. C, Inc, and the union building trades employes affected lald down their tools July 1 and declared a “walkout,” pending decision in negotiations with the employing organization. Six Buildings Affected. In addition to the new Commerce i Department structure, the strike has af- | fceted the new department store build- ing for Julius Garfinckei & Co., north- west corner of Fourteenth and F streets; the addition to the department store of Frank R. Jelleff, Inc, 1216 F street; the new Holy Name College Building, in Brookland; the new Na- tional Christian Church, on Thomas Cire and the Sacred Heart Convent Building being erected on Park road west of Sixteenth street, according to statements made today to The Siar. It could not be ascertained this morning whether work on ‘other large projects here had been halted by the wage dispute raised by the lathers, but it was understood that the strike was in effect on all local projects on which lathers were employed. Union wood, wire and metal lathers, as well as virtually all union building trades employes engaged in operations in the District, now are on the five-day week basis. In most cases the shorter week was agreed to by employing or- ganizations with little serious discus- | | sion, in virtually all cases the union | labovers retaining approximately the same weekly wage, although working a half day less per week. Employer Group Rejects Demand. The Employing Plasterers’ Association of the District, it was reported today | from an authentic source, rejected the demand for the $2 increase in wages, members of the association taking the position that they saw no justification for the raise in pay. While it is estimated that there are | approximately 200 lathers located 1in Washington at this time, it was said that something less than half this num- ber are engaging in the current “walk- out.” The strike, however, may assume greater proportions, it was intimated to- day, in case an early settlement of the controversy is not reached, since at the | time of the walkout on the Commerce Department structure there were but & “hand full” of lathers employed. This | work there, it is pointed out, had| reached the stage at which a much larger number of men would have been | set to work. Meeting Expected Tomorrow. Committeemen representing the em ploying plasterers were to canvass the situation again today, and tentative a # rangements were made for a meeting | tomorrow, or shortly, with spokesmen for the union organization. While negotiations in the matter have been quietly in progress intermittently | for some time, there were indications today that the employers would not give way to the demands for the boost in wages and that, therefore, the nego- tiations may remain in the “deadlock” that was reported to exist. Neither officials of the Washington Building Trades Council nor officers of Local, No. 9, of the Wood, Wire and Meta! Lathers’ International Union, could be reached today for comment on the strike or to give an explanation of the reasons for the increase in wages demanded. A. F. L. Remains Clear of Strike. The American Federation of Labor is taking no official cognizance of the strike, although it affects progress in the construction of the largest of tne Federal bullding propects in Washing- ton, it was stated today by the building trades department of the federation. The lathers' union is affiliated with the building trades department, it was said, but in such cases the matter would Jie in the hands of officials of the local union and of the internation- al union organization in negotiating with the employing body.

FISCAL RELATINS Mapes, Frear, Holaday, Beers, Crisp, Collins and Patman Selected Under Simmons Resolution. TWO WERE CONFEREES ON APPROPRIATION BILL Appointment of Committee Fol- lowed Six-Weeks Struggle Be- tween Members of Two Houses of Congress on Lump Sum for Local Government. Appointment of the special House committee to study fiscal relations between the Federal and District governments was made to- day by Speaker Longworth, when he selected the following seven members: Representatives Mapes, Repub- {lican, Michigan; Frear, Republi- can, Wisconsin; Holaday, Repub- lican, Illinois; Beers, Republican, Pennsylvania; Crisp, Democrat, Georgia; Collins, Democrat, Mis- sissippi, and Patman, Democrat, Texas. The Speaker, who has been out of the city since Congress ad- Jjourned last week, notified his of- fice at the Capitol this afternoon of the personnel or the commit- tee, which was authorized by a resolution which Representative Simmons of Nebraska, chairman of the District subcommittee of the House Appropriations Com- mittee, offered in the House on the closing day of the session. Two Were Couferees. ‘TWo of those chosen by the Speaker, | Mr. Holaday and Mr. Collins, were con-~ ferees on the District appropriation bill for the current year, in connection with Which the two branches of Congress staged a battle over the fiscal relations issue. The Senate, in accordance with its custom over a long period of years, defended the contention of the people of the District that $9,000,000 was not an adequate contribution by the United States toward the upkeep of the Na- tional Capital. After a struggle lasting nearly six weeks, during which the Senate stood firm for some increase in the lump sum, the House agreed on the last day of :l’:; fisslo‘n loh raise {he Federal con- ribution for the ensuing 12 month: $9,500,000. g g Coincident with the approval of this agreement on the appropriation act for the current year, Representative Simmons of Nebraska, chairman of the House conferees, had th> House adopt his resolution creating this special com= | mittee of seven House members to go into_the question further and report to the House, presumably at the December session. Didn't Want to Serve. Mr. Simmons said several days ago, before leaving for Nebraska, that he had no desire to be a member of the pecial committee and was particularly nxious not to serve on it. Mr. Simmons will have charge of the District appropriation bill in *he next session—for the fiscal year 1931-32—af- ter which he is slated to take charge of appropriations for the Department of Agriculture. Mr. Holaday, one of the men appointed by the Speiker, is scheduled to succeed Mr. S mmons as chairman of the District subcommittee on_appropriations after next year. The Simmons resolu‘ion directs the committee to inquire into the various elements, factors and conditions which may be deemed pertinent and essential to the accumulation of data and infor- mation bearing upon the question of fiscal relations, and to recommend to the House what amount. in their judg- ment, the United States should con- tribute annually toward the develop- ment and maintenance of the munici- pality. Will Study Taxation. A significant clause in the resolution authorizes the committee also to in- vestigate municipal taxation and the various sources of revenue in the Dis- trict and “to recommend to the House such new forms of taxation and sources of revenues and such changes in exist- ing forms of taxation and sources of revenue as to them may seem just and fair.” The committee has authority to sit during recesses as well as the sessions of the House, to hold hearings, to re- quire the atfendance of witnesses, to compel the production of documents and to take testimony. The resolution requests the Com- missioners and other municipal officials to furnish the committee such assist- ance as it may need, and such aid also_may be furnished by the Bureau of Efficiency That bureau itself made “(Continued on Page 2, Column 1) FRENCH WANT BIGGER DEFENSE ON FRONTIER Finance Commission Votes to In- crease Fund From $16,000,000 Jankees Lead Athletics, 4-3, in Fourth.
