BL GRANDE PRANZOAL
BELLEVUE-STRATFORD
DANIELS ON THE GRILL
Philadelphia Congressman Ac
cuses Secretary of Acting
Without Authority
Washington, Dec. 12.
Bitter assaults on the naval plan for
'ownership and control of wireless as the
opening wedge for a Clovcrnmont-owner-jshlp
campaign were made by memberB
1 of the House Merchant Marine Commit
tee' today,
' Secretary of the Nay Daniels
throughout tho hearing1 protested 'that
tho radio control should not bo connected
wlh Government ownership of public
utlltlcs" and declared that peculiar con
(lllons sturrounfilng- wireless commun
catlon were his reason for urging the
bill.
IleprescntatUe Green (Mass.) charged
that the bill was the "first test for Govj
' erriment ownership."
nepresentatle Edmonds (Pa.) charged
that Daniels, by purchasing all but six
teen radio coastal stations during tho
war, had "embarked the Goernmerttxn
a policy without the authority of Con
gress." Representative . Saunder Virginia,
cross-questioned both Daniels and Com
mander Hooper on the necessity of Gov
ernment ownership as opposed to Gov
ernment licensing.
Commander Hooper declared flatly
that licensing would not "do the busi
ness" and that private radios might In.
terfero with messages from ships in dis
tress when messages meant a matter
of life and death.
"I certainly would hesitate about li
censing a private radio where there
were other means of communication,"
H6oper declared.
SecretnryDanlels in his preliminary
statement said that the Goernment had
.already purchased all but sixteen wire
less stations In this country and in Ha
waii. He brought ou tho fact that Ger
mans with their powerful station at
, Sayvllle had, before this country enter
ed the, war, been able to transmit In
formation to the ships, particularly the
Karlsruhe and Dresden, making It nee
pessary to put naval censors at their
stations and others controlled by for
eign Goernments.

Leaders Guests at Moore
Feast
DINNER TO SPROUL
Congressman Is Boomed for

Criticized

Washington, Dec. 12.
Praise of Pennsylvania, assertion of
Republican principles and expression of
confidence In nepubllcanssuccess through
out the country in 1320, brimmed over
at the dinner given at the Raleigh Ho
tel last night by Congressman J. Hamp
ton Moore, In honor of Governor-elect
Sproul.
Strong speeches were inndo by Gover
nor Sproul, Senator Penrose and others,
through which there was a general tone
of dissatisfaction with tho Democratic
administration. Predictions wcro made
that with a change to Republican con
trol In all branches of Goernment In
1920 a new and better order of things
will come.
As a "gct-tosethcr-for-rcnniyhanla"
moement declared by Congressman
Mooro. as Its object. It was complete
success Leaders and roprescntatles of
all tho political factions In the State
wero present with, every appearance of
perfect hnrtnony and good feeling Son
ator Penrose and State Senator Edwin
H. Vare and Congressman William S
Varo met, shook hands cordially and
talked freely, as though nothing but
the best of feeling- on all Issues had
ever existed between them.
J.n the private con creations which
went on as the diners gathered there
was considerable talk of halng all tho
factions unite in support of Congress
man Mooro for tho next Mayor of Phila
delphia. Not Unlike Smith Dinner
It was at a dinner similar In many
respects, in Philadelphia four years ago,
that the moenrent to inako Thomas B.
Smith Major' got its start.
In the private conversation of the
lenders no name other than Mr. Moore's
deemed to gain any following nl when
the banquet was oier many left with the
lmprranlon that the Connremiman would
be put forwrfrd for the nomination for
Mayor next spring and would have
virtually the support of all the Repub
licans Goernor-eIect Sproul, was Introduced
to the guests, numbering about one hun
dred or more of the most prominent polit
ical leaders In Fennsylania and in the
national Senate and House, by Congress
man Moore, who said he had known Sen
ator Sproul for many years and had
watched his steady rise to prominence
with genuine gratification.
"It is my belief that we hae gained
a Goernor of whom our C6mmonwcaith
may well be proud," Bald Mr. Moore,
"and I urn sure ho will stand for those
things for which wo all stand and that
no man will stand moro eminently for
tho things wo all desiro than William C
Sproul."
Senator Sproul said the great majority
by which ho mm elected had Inspired
him with a great desire and determina
tion to gle the State tho cry best
administration of which he was capabte.
"When a man is, elected by a slim
margin or Just slips In on an election
ho might feel ho can give any old kind
of administration," paid the Governor
elect, "but when so many people appear
to hao confidence in you and gle you
a tremendous majority a man must bo
a strange being If he docs not determine
to do absolutely tho proper thing."
Advice to Congrentmen
"I haye. an ambition to see that there
shall be no slopplness In our state
affairs. There mustMie no Injurious
factional differences .In Pennsylvania
and i nope mat reeling will Influence tho
State delegation In Congress to act In
unison and wield a greater Influence
than it has cer wielded before. Our
efforts at Harrisburg will bo In that
direction.
