PRESIDENT HOOVER and the sen ute, or part of that nominally an gust body, came to verbal blows over The Chief Executive, who seemingly doesn't feel so restrained now that the election is WHS vexed because of the introduction of measures which would impose an ex. penditure far beyond the sum he had recommended, “and mostly under the guise of giving relief of some kind or another,” as he sald to the White House correspondents. He directly ac cused some members of congress of “playing politics at the expense buman misery.” The President obviously referred to the proposal for Immediate payment In cash of the soldiers’ bonus and the Shipstead plan, a $300.000.000 bond issue for river and harbor work His statement also was regarded as di rected at Senator David 1. Walsh of Massachusetts, who had criticized Mr. Hoover for the inadequacy of his re lief program. When this statement reached the senate the war broke out fiercely, and the President was bitterly attacked by Senators Ilobinson, Caraway, Glass, Harrison and other Democrats Next day in a prepared speech Senator Mec Kellar of Tennessee scathingly as salled Mr. Hoover for what he called his tirade of ahuse and declared the President owed an apology to every member of the senate. His reputation and his sincerity were impugned. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania alone came to Mr. Hoover's defense, and he showed little enthusiasm in his task. The senate on Tuesday passed. without a record vote, the drought re lief loan fund bI amended to ap propriate $60.000.000, which is more than twice what the administration considered necessary and which in that form provided not only for seed pur chase loans but also for loans for the purchase of food for the distreased farmers. To this latter feature Secre tary of Agriculture Hyde had objected on the ground that it was “perilously near the dole system,” and this elicited caustic comments from the anti-admin. istration senators. legislation over, of ITHOUT opposition the house passed the bill appropriating $110.000.000 for an emergency public construction fund, which is the ad ministration’s chief step In the relief of unemployment. It had been revised to meet the objections of the Demo- crats, who opposed the granting of blanket authority to the President in the expenditure of the fund. so that he could only transfer funds from one of the specified purposes to an. other. The senate removed even this authority, added $8,000,000 to the to tal, and passed the bill. Of the total, $80,000,000 is for advances to the states for federal aid highway proj ects and is to be pald back within five Years by deductions from federal eon. tributions. Rivers ‘and harbors gets $22,500,000, Some leaders in congress, both Re publicans and Democrats, = ex- pressed a fear that the submission of the world court protocols to the senate would result in a legislative Jam that might make necessary the calling of an extra session of the new congress in the spring. In his message transmitting the protocols the Presi. dent ed for early consideration of the tion, He said that the pro- t as revised “free us from any entanglement in the diplomacy of oth- er nations” and urged that the United States “lend Its co-operation in this effort of the nations to establish a great agency for pacific settlements.” It may be the appropriations legis. lation will be completed In tine to give the senate a few weeks to take up the world court matter before March 4, but the cadicals are likely to filibuster unless their pet measures fre acted on also, and thus an extra session might be forced, RANK B KELLOGG, former see retary of state, received the Nobel peace prize for 1929 in Oslo, Norway, Wednesday, In the presence of King Haakoa and a distinguished gathering. 1530 was handed to Dr. Nathan Soed erblom, Mr. Kellogg, in acknowledg. ing the award, asserted there was no ‘ndieation of war in the world, but rather the prospect was for continued peace.

Am bassador Hugh Gibson, who represent ed the United in a Statement told his collengues that the outline treaty “falls far short of our hopes and expectations.” failing to in clude various methods which Americans regarded as essential to real disarmament, He sald. however, he bimself with the belief that the scheme adopted would permit at least the stabilization of arma- ments, the setting up of machinery to receive and spread Information on armaments, and “to prepare system atically for the work of future confer. ences.” on- States, closing the consoled N R. HOOVER transmitted to the 4 tiouse of representatives a formal request for the immediate appropria- tion of another £150,000.000 to the fed eral farm board from its $500.000.000 revolving fund. The money is needed, he said, “in order that important op- erations of the hoard. now in pros- pect, may be carried through prompt. iy.” and it was understood this meant further outlays for the stabilization of wheat prices. (OF ERATION of Muscle Shoals by a co-operative organization of farmers was asked by the American Farm Bureau federation at its con vention in Boston, It also voiced op position to amendment of the agricul tural marketing act at this time.
