HEARINGS PLEDGED ON HARLAN'S BILL Sumners to Push Measure to Give Cabinet Members Seats in Congress. By the Assoclated Press. ‘Thorough congressional study of the idea of requiring cabinet members to answer their critics in the halls of Congress was promised yesterday by Chairman Sumners of the House Ju- diciary Committee. He told newspaper men that he would order hearings soon on a bill by Representative Harlan, Democrat, of Ohio, which would assign seats on | House and Senate floors to cabinet members and permit them to join in the debate. | Sumners, like Harlan, has expressed concern recently that conditions had forced Congress to yield broad powers to the executive branch. Neither ob- jected to what had been done, but both seek to awaken Congress to its own responsibilities. House Interest Aroused. Harlan's proposal has aroused un- usual interest in the House. His main idea is that “among all civilized na- tions government is so involved with industry that an unprecedented ex- pansion of executive authority has been inescapable, and that where democratic governments have failed to recognize the necessity for expan- sion, free institutions have been re- placed by dictators.” He agrees that the expansion of executive authority was just “as in- evitable in the Urited States as any place else,” but says “if we are to maintain our former type of govern- ment the legislative power must be expanded.” Harlan emphasized that he was not “gunning” for any cabinet member. In his original discussion of the plan on the floor another member re- marked that all cabinet members might not be wanted on the floor. “I would not care to admit such a statement, but if it is so, then this bill is the very best bill we could de- vise to meet the situation,” he replied. Sees Broader Representation. A cabinet member, he said, would Tepresent the “whole United States.” “Some of our legislation is passed because one bloc says to another: ‘You vote for my bill and I'll vote for yours.’ A cabinet member, knowing that these bloc bills were not for the benefit of the whole country, could help stop them.” In past emergencies, Harlan re- called, strong leaders—"like our pres- No Memoirs MR. “MAC” NOT TO WRITE OF LONG SERVICE.

With this bill, the cabinet members supervising the distribution of the money would be under constant inquiry and Congress, instead of lazily | approving this appropriation and doing nothing more, would have some control.” OPERATION FOURTEENTH OMAHA, Nebr., February 23 (#).— Raymond Adams, 19, of Overton, Nebr.. to whom operations long ago outgrew the novelty stage, was recu- perating today in a hospital here from his fourteenth operation in four years. In August of 1931, Raymond re- ceived an injury to his hip joint, and he is now suffering from osteomyelitis, a disease which attacks the bone mar- | row. An operation and scraping of the bone is periodically required to relieve intense pain. Adams is married and the father of | & baby gir], born Friday.
