TENNESSEE'S HOUSE AGTS TO IMPEACH Committee Named to Decide Whether Horton Charges Shall Be Pressed. By the Associated Press. NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 26.—The Tennessee House of Representatives to- day authorized appointment of a com- mittee to decide whether impeachment charges should be recommended against Gov. Henry H. Horton. Appointment of the committee was | recommended yesterday in a House res- olution which was introduced after a majority report of a legislative investi- gating committee charged the Governor had been dominated by Col. Luke Lea Nashville publisher and politician. and Rogers Caldwell, former investment banker. ‘The Investigating Committee made an extensive inquiry into State affairs after Caldwell's bank, Caldwell & Co., failed last Fall and precipitated the closing of many otrer banks. Nearly $7,000,000 in State funds was on de- posit in the closed banks. Vote 71 to 25. The resolution for appointing a com- mittee to decide whether the Governor shall face impeachment proceedings was ted by a vote of 71 to 25. Speaker M.

Alifas, president of District 44 of the International Association of Machinists, and the group's legislative agent, said today that the workers will vigorously oppose such & program, should it ma- terialize. President Hoover's summoning of the various heads of the executive depart- ments to Rapidan, Va., to confer over the possible reduction of expenditures, has led to the bellef that the Navy's turn is to come shortly. Secretary Adams has just returned to Washington from an inspection trip to the West Coast, and it is known that a study is being made for economies in the naval establishment. While Mr. Alifas said that there is as vet no positive move to slash the Navy's shore establishments, he asserted that there is too much talk among admirals in the Navy who are bureau chiefs about closing down shore stations and turning the work over to private in- dustry. i “As Essential as Battleships.” [ “Navy yards are just as essential as battleships,” said Mr. Alifas. “We do not want to turn our techincal informa- tion over to private firrs, which can go out of business when they wish. National defense is primarily a Govern- ment, function. and the Government should keep this within its own con- trol.” Private industry might be willing to cut the price for work whigh the navy ards now do, in order to get them out in the belief of Mr. Alifas, but as soon as the Government abol- ished its naval shore stations private APARTMENT DWELLERS!

Make For Purchasing Power. Mr. Alifas asserted that the navy | yards were established for definite line: of work and organized labor does not want them closed down, permitting the work to be sent out to private ship- yards, enabling a few people to make a | lot of money, he s2id. Under the pres- ent system, the navy yards, located in strategic positions in the country, enable | the workers to have a wide distribu- tion of money, making real purchasing | power, he said. A few great private | shipyards would permit their owners to | hoard money, the labor chief said. The Rapidan conferences will be watched with keen interest, and shculd a reduction program for shore stations be forthcoming, labor leaders propose to | fight it vigorously in the next Congress which convenes in December.
