REPLY T DUSTER 5 FLEDBY ST Senate Without Authority After Confirming Power Chairman, Holds Pepper. By the Associated Press. The lssus between th+ Semat> and President Hoover - over the right of ‘George Otis Smith to occupy the chair- manship of the Federal Power Commis- sion yesterday advanced another step in court. George Wrarton Pepper, counsel fors Bmith, filed answer to the Senate pe- titlon drawn by John W. Davis for ouster of the President’s appointee. Pepper agreed with Davis' narration of the facts—How Smith's nomination was confirmed by the Senate on De- cember 20; how notification of this ac- tion was sent the President, who there- upon issued Smith’s commission; how the Senate on returning from its Christmas recess reconsidered and then rejected the nomination. But Pepper held the latter action an empty and valueless gesture. The nom- ination, he contended, was no longer before the Senate. Davis had contended Senate rules provided a nomination could be recon- sidered on the second legislative day. Pepper replied that custom had waived this rule and that by tacit consent the Senate had agreed transmission of no- tification to Mr. Hoover, finishing the matter. ‘The next step will be for the District of Columbia Supreme Court to set a time for the hearing.
