ROOSEVELT FACES TEST IN' HOUSE Fate of Utilities Holding Company Bill Depends on Outcome. (Continued From First Page.) yesterday. Under agreement, however, the controversial death sentence clause was held over until tomorrow for ac- tion. In order to bring an early show- down the House will meet at 10 am. The House Interstate Commerce Committee has stricken out the so- called “death sentence.” The first vote will come in committee of the whole, when the supporters of the President will move to restore the language desired by the Chief Execu- | tive. In committee of the whole no record vote is possible—only a divi- sion and a teller vote. Under the parliamentary situation in which the holding company bill finds itself, however, a record vote on the House Committee amendment can be demanded by any member when the bill goes into the House before passage. The House Committee bill | is an amendment to the Senate bill, | and under the general rules of the | House, a roll call may be demanded | on an amendment adopted in com- | mittee of the whole. So a show-down and record vote can be had, and un- doubtedly will be had before the bill | is finally passed. Wheeler Warns Leaders. Senator Wheeler of Montana, chair- man of the Senate Interstate Com- merce Committee, warned House lead- ers yesterday that if the death sentence was omitted from the bill it would die. The President has virtually promised to veto any bill which did not contain ! that clause if it were sent to him. | Apparently, however, Senator Wheeler is prepared to kill the bill in con- ference before it ever goes to the President. Yet in the Senate only a | single vote retained the death sentence intact when the bill was before that body, and only after the administra- tion lobby had operated with much effect upon several Democratic Senators. The strength of the President over | legislation is due for several other | tests in the next week or two. The House has in the offing the T. V. A. bill, which has been modified in com- | mittee in a way that is distressing to the administration. It is too early to | say how the House is going to line up | on this measure. But there is reason | to believe that there will be stout | resistance to the demands of the | President in connection with this | measure, too. Ai‘er the House has | disposed of the holding company bill, it is the hope of the leaders that re- cesses over the Fourth of July and the rest of the i week may be possible. | That would throw the consideration | of the T. V. A. over until the following | week ! In the Senate the principal immedi- ’ ate tests of administration strength | will come on the bill amending the Agricultural Adjustment Administra- | tion act, and on the administration banking bill. House Members Clash. By the Associated Press. Representative Sauthoff. Progres- sive. of Wisconsin, precipitated the caustic. rapid-fire debate in the House vesterday on the utilities holding company bill by assailing Representa- | Huddleston. He said the Alabama Democrat “may castigate the Presi- dent but the seven Progressive mem- | bers of Wisconsin stand together be- hind the President in this great fight.” | Huddleston assailed the President’s | “death sentence” supporters as not | “regular” Friday, and Sauthoff said | the Alabaman has a “right to his| views but when the President pro- | ceeds in the interests of the people,’ 1 question his right to challenge his motives.” l Accusing Huddleston of selling “his birthright for a mess of pottage,” | Representative Knute Hill, Democrat, of Washington, found himself facing | & small but angry Alabaman. Huddles- ton demanded that the words ‘“be taken down.” but at the insistance of peace makers Hill withdrew the remark Huddleston Stands Pat. Gaining the fioor. Huddleston told Hill, “I haven't got a word to take back and I stand on every syllable.” | “It is not my fault”” shouted Huddleston, who has been called | liberal, “if T can't follow the gentle- men from Wisconsin and Washington and can not come to the spurious, false liberalism and extreme new radi- calism of Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler, which they are embracing and sup- porting here.” “Men have cailled me liberal,” he said, “but they don't call you that for you don't know what liberalism is.” Sauthoff said “in the next caiapaign | T ask that Mr. Huddleston stand by Herbert Hoover and not Roosevelt.” Huddleston said he would “go w the end” with Roosevelt sc long as he “stood on the 1932 platform.” “To hell with the power tiust,” raged Representative Maverick, Demo- crat, of Texas, when ne broke into | the debate. “The quest:dn is whether this Government is going to be a sub- sidiary of the holding companries or whether we are going 1o control them. ‘We are supposed to e leaders and not | to follow such leadership as the power trust.” After the House adjcurned, Repre- sentative Rankin, Demiocrat, of Mis- | 6issippi, a leader for the Roosevelt “death sentence,” issued a formal Statement saving “administration forces in the House are jubilant over the progress they have made today in lining up sentiment on the helding company bill.” “The Presidents press statement Friday night seemed to turn the tide,” he said, adding that a poll his group was making showed “we are much stronger tonight” due to “Old Guard Republicans” lining up “solidly against. the administration and their praises for the speech of Mr Huddleston.” “Our poll at present shows that of the men who ars defiritely committed on the question, the adminsrtration has a majority cf more than 40, after giving every cld lne Republican to the opposition.” Oaletestrafeatoadenateatosdrnds 3 Specialising in »* S Perfect DIAMONDS Also complete line of standard and all-American made watches. hop at the friendly store—. gou're always s vk o . g‘fl_flt—vllmnfl ligation to buy. 3% “Charge Accounts Invited I§ M.

[i is proposed trat the initial force shall consist of five sergeants at $2,6J0 and nine pri- | vates at $1,900. | The fire department will not have a station house, nor will it have engines, | hose or ladders.

The force will make regu- | lar inspections, be on duty in the| Capitol buildings and be specially trained und made familiar with all the nooks and crannies of the build- ings so as to do efficient work in the event of a fire. When the Budget Bureau sent in members of Congress generally had their first intimation that it was proposed to give them a fire department of their own—and to be 14 more patronage jobs avail- able. This is denied emphatically by David Lynn, architect of the Capitol: of the House, and Col. Chesley Jurney. | sergeant at arms of the Senate, who constitute the Capitol Police Board. of which Romney is chairman. The provision which it is proposed to in- sert in the deficiency appropriation bill specifically states ihat those seek- | ing appointment must be on the eli- | gibility list for the District of Co- | lumbia Fire Department maintained by the Civil Service Commission Col. Jurney is the prime mover of | the new fire department, but he has | the pledged support of the other | members of the Capito!

The Senate then put them in, but receded in conference At its meeting yesterday the Po- lice Board considered regulations governing the Capitol police force, 50 as to bring the personnel up to the standard of the Metropolitan police force. These regulations are espe- cially regarding appointment to the Capitol police force. as to age, weight and physical fitness.

S. EDITORS PLEAD FOR REICH LIBERAL Haenfstaingl Gets Appeals for Release of Ossietzky, Held Since 1933. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, June 29.—A series of let- ters from American editors pleading for the liberation of Carl Ossietzky, liberal and pacifist writer, held with- out trial since 1933, was received today by Hans Haenfstaengl, Harvarc-edu- cated Nazi foreign press chief. H Ossletzky was seized by secret police almost immediately after Adolf Hit- ler’s seizure of power and is at present confined in the concentration camp at Papenburg. Among the letters received was one from George Fort Milton, president and editor of the Chattanooga News, who wrote: “I regard Ossietzky as a man who typifies the best in German progres- sive and liberal thought, a man whom Germany ought to be honoring in some fashion. He has been an outstanding contributor to the cause of world peace.” Raymond Gram Swing, editor of the Nation, offered in return for Ossiet- | zky's freedom “to fight for the free- dom of the Nazis to express themselves in the United States.” Robert S. Allen of the Washington | Merry-Go-Round, told Herr Haenfsta- | engl that freedom of the press was | essential for the well-being of a nation. Photographs Attached.
