MURRAY GRANTED UNUSUAL POWERS Oklahoma Governor Clothed; With New Authority by State Legislature. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, May 3.—Gov. Willlam H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray has been clothed with sweeping powers through action of the recent fourteenth Legislature, which enacted into law vir- tually the entire program he submitted. | It is a far-reaching program, outlined by a man who loves to stress the word “supreme” in the :-ction of the Okla- homa constitution declaring that “the supreme executive power shall b vested in a chiel magistrate who shall | be styled the Governor of the State of Oklahoma.” ‘The Governor, who helped frame the organic law, contends that section, along with others, gave him the power | to order a military shut-down of the | Oklahoma City ofl fleld; to open the | Red River Free Bridge near Durant| with National Guardsmen, and to re-| lease from jail on a military rdon Zach Miller, 101 Ranch owner, when Miller was confined for contempt in an alimony cese.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, MOSES’ SUCCESSOR IN SENATE A"TOUGH AND SPICY" DEMOCRA Brown of New Hampshire Once Played Professional Base Ball. His Particular “Bete Noir” Happens to Be the Public Utilities. BY GRACE HENDRICK EUSTIS. From the independent little State of New Hampshire comes a new Demo- cratic Senator who is as tough and splcy as a native apple. Scnator Fred H. Brown, one-time catcher on the Boston Nationals, an ex. tremely able politician and conscien- tious man, was able to dislodge Senator ‘This was all the more remarkable because New Hampshire was one of the tiny group of States | that stood with President Hoover. This electiol caused counsiderable speculation. Some believed that Sena- tor Moses was experiencing retribution from those he so bitterly antagonized during Al Smith’s campaign in 1928. Others thought the liberal Republicans, under the leadership of Gov. Wynant split from Moses. But most New Hamp- | rire folk came to the conclusion that | ator Brown won because he was a | erful candidate whom pecple tiust- ¢l and had the ualified support of the Democrats. ed Professional Ball. His political history has been amazing cons.dering the paucity of Democrats in New Hampshire. He was born in Ossipe. He went to Dartmouth and loved base ball so much he became a | professional for several years. Then he decided to be a lawyer, 50 he went to | the Boston University Law School. He | passed his bar examination in 1907 and started to practice in Somersworth, N. H, where he made his home. Here he began to figure in politics. He was elected mayor for nine succes- | sive terms, from 1914 to 1923, and built up an efficient, clean Democratic ma- | chine. He was also United States attor- ney in the Wilson administration. In 1923 he ran for Governor of the State, and such a reputation had he made for himself as mayor that he was elected, making him the first Democratic Gov- ernor elected since 1857. | However, not even the best of Demo- crats can t long in New Hampshire, | year Mr. Wynant defeated . but thought so highly of | rade him a public service com- He served the six-year term was reappointed in 1931. | Assalled Utilities. | It was in this service that he dug his nails into what has become for him the most menacing devil that threatens cit- izens’ savings. The pubiic utility corpo- ! rations and their holding companies be gan to mushroom throughout New Eng- land in 1925. Insull, the Associated Gas & Electric System and the International Power & Paper Co. developed companies and issued stock. The Senator smelt 2 This was not easy, because the other two commission- ers were Republicans, the New Hamp- shire newspapers mostly Republican, | and there are no State laws allowing | the public service commissioners to Jook at what goes on beyond the State bor- ders. Besides, in those glamorous days. it wasn't popular to unearth the skele- tons in big business' closet. However, the Senator is & tough fighter, and the more he was opposed the harder he battled. | X " he said, tapping the desk | knotted with broken ¥ bones from the days when base ball gloves weren't made llke feather beds, “you will see scandals about some of these public utility companies that will make Mr. Insull look like a dove.” He is a powerful man, heavy from the hips up. He talks well, with extreme clearness, and has that acid humor which springs only from the thin New England soil.
