RADICATION of
Senator George
W. Norris from the
Republican party is
demanded by Robert
H. Lucas, executive
director of the Re-
publican national com-
mittee in a scathing
statement which is
said to have the tacit
approval of the White
House, In return, the
R. H. Lucas independent Republi.
can senators Insist that the national
committee oust Mr, Lucas. Chairman
Fess of the committee has declared for
a hands-off policy, but a showdown
is demanded by Senator Howell of Ne-
braska and others, and there is In
prospect a lively party quarrel that
may very well embarrass the Repub-
licans greatly. All this is the outcome
of the discovery by the Nye campaign
fund committee that Lucas financed a
campaign against the re-election of
Norris. Lucas has freely admitted the
facts and defends his action by the
assertion that the Nebraska senator is
not realiy a Republican and has no
right to be classed as such,
“To accept office at the hands of
this party and then viciously oppose
its policies, principles and leadership,
brings an intolerable situation and one
which must be eradicated, if the party
is to live,” says Mr. Lucas,
“Such conduct by Senator Norris
has been revolting and until the lead-
ers of the Republican party not only
fall to support but give their active
opposition to men like Senator Nor-
ris, they are not doing their full duty
to the party which has come down to
us from Lincoln.”
After telling how he privately con-
tributed three pieces of literature to
the anti-Norris campaign, Lucas goes
on to relate in detall the many ways
in which Norris has displayed his
“party treachery” and “ingratitude”
by opposing the administrations and
policies of Presidents Coolidge and
Hoover, all of which is a part of his-
tory though heretofore officially ig-
nored by Republican party chieftains.
Convened by an emergency call by
Chairman Nye, the senate committee
discovered further that the $4000
which Lucas borrowed to pay for the
anti-Norris propaganda and for which
he gave his personal note was guar
anteed by a $40,000 special account of
the can national committee
in the Commercial National bank In
Washington. This was in the nature
of a counter attack against Lucas and
was reinforced by statements mada by
Norris and Senator Cutting of New
Mexico. The Nebraskan openly
charged that Lucas had sworn to a
falsehood when he testified before the
committee that the money he paid was
his own private fund. Cutting defend-
ed Norris and attacked the national
committee,
Then up stepped Representative
Wood of Indiana on behalf of Lucas
and 'eaved a ‘arf a brick at Senator
Norris; whereupon Senator Brookhart
of ela finding It wasn't a private
fight, dornick at Secretary
Mellon and called Lucas "an Insig-
nificant wart.”

shied a
There were indications that Presi-
dent Hoover and the other party lead-
ers would ignore, officially, the entire
quarrel, which would perhaps be the
safest course if not the bravest,
JHETHER or not
\ Lucas wins out
in his fight on Norris
it Is now thought
doubtful that he will
be made chairman to
succeed Senator Fess,
The man now most
prominently men
tioned for the place
is Ray Benjamin of
San Francisco, a close
friend of President
Hoover. Several
weeks ago Mr. Benjamin had several
conferences with the President. Then
he went home and cleared up his
private »Tairs and returned to Wash-
ington for an indefinite stay. When
questioned concerning the report that
he was to be given the chairmanship,
he said he was in the capital to real-
ize an old desire to open law offices
there, and added: “1 will do anything
I ean, however, for my party.”
Mr. Benjamin has had an extensive
legal career and has been active in
polities in California. He was regional
director for the national committee
for the west coast section In the Re-
publican campaign of 1020,
Ray Benjamin.
OLONEL ARTHUR WOODS,
chairman of the President's
emergency committee on unemploy-
ment, believes the $116,000,000 public
works law enacted by congress and
signed by Mr. Hoover, will have a
big effect in reducing unemployment
and stimulating purchases. In an in-
terview the colonel sald:
“With this additional opportunity
and with the co-operation of all fed-
eral branches together with the heip
of state and local authorities, we
should soon witness a material re-
sult in the absorption of unemployed
and In the stimulation of purchases
of building materials which will be
involved.
“All branches of state and municipal
governments throughout the country
are working together to slash the red
tape which is impeding their own pub.
lic works projects, The result will be
that a great program of public works
will be pushed forward into produc-
tion and Jobs created to help meet the
present emergency.”
Colonel Woods issued another warn-
ing to unemployed men to stay in their
home communities and not wander
about aimlessly seeking work. Jobless
transients, he said, are causing serious
problems in many communities which,
while organized to care for their own
destitute, cannot be taxed by outsiders,
Woods also called on farmers through-
out the country to co-operate in giving
whatever work possible to unemployed
men.
Senator Wagner of New York says
that as soon as congress convenes aft-
er the holiday recess he will introduce
a resolution calling for a study of the
public and privote unemployment sys-
tems here and and also a bill
proposing federal and state co-opera-
tion in the maintenance of such a
system.

§ SENATOR BORAH
doesn't want any-
one to think he would
conduct a filibuster In
congress after the hol-
idays, but he believes
there Is so much im-
portant legislation to
be disposed of that a
special session {mme-
diately after March 4
will be necessary and
should be called by
Senator Borah the President. It was
his persuasion that brought about the
special session in the spring 1029, Leg-
islation which the Idaho solon consid-
ers of pressing importance Includes
power and railroad measures, the anti-
injunction bill, the motor bus bill,
further unemployment relief and, per
haps chief of all, the export debenture
farm relief scheme.
In the closing hours before congress
the holidays Mr. Borah
led other senators in a hot attack on
ard’'s wheat opera-
recessed for
the federal farm be
tions. Chairman Alexander legge of
the board, being asked what he
thought of Borah's charge that the
board in buying wheat is merely post-
poning “the day of reckoning” that
will come when {it sells, replied:
“Please don’t ask me to discuss cy-
clones. You know the definition of a
cyclone—something made of hot alr
which runs amuck and usually is de
structive,” He went on, however, to
defend the board's policy In some de.
tail.
Mr. Legge also paid his respects to
John Simpson of Oklahoma City, new
president of the Farmers' union, who
was quoted as asserting the board is
“deliberately” bh down wheat
and cotton and citing a sena-
tor as authority.

prices,
“You can say to Mr. Simpson that
any man making that statement,
whether in public office or not, is an
unmitigated liar, and say It with my
compliments,” the chairman said.
“Such a statement has never heen
made by any member of the board or
anyone else in authority. The absurd.
ity of it is proved by the fact that

16 cents above the Liverpool close,

AMERON MOR
rison, the new
senator from North
Carolina, was scarce
ly in his seat before
he totally wrecked an
ancient tradition of
the upper house by
arising and making a
speech. Of course he
should have sat silent
for at least a few
weeks, but the attack
made by Senator FR. MeNinch
Walsh of Montana on Frank R, Me
Ninch of North Carolina, one of the
President's nominees for the federal
power commission, was more than he
could endure without retort. He spoke
eloquently and warmly for twenty min.
utes, starting out with the declara-
tion: “I would scorn to stand In this
body and hear this noble man tra.
duced by anybody,” and when he was
all through he mildly expressed his
regret that he “had to trespass upon
the attention of this body In almost
the hour of my entrance.”
Mr. McNinch, the speaker explained,
never received nor handled a nickel
of any power company's money. True
enough, he was an anti-Smith Demo-
crat in 1928, and he, Morrison, as a
regular, took the stump against him,
but that did not make him a Ie-
publican.
AILURES of relatively small banks

last few weeks to around $16,000,000,
it was said.
The runs were attributed by officials
of bank to unfounded and ma.

among others, were held responsible.

gun by the state's attorney general,
