PLANS NEW ATTACK
ON THE PRESIDENT
Senate May Investigate Or
der to Destroy Old Penn
Sylvania Station.

The newest phase OF the controversy
between the President and Congress
is a threatened investigation by The
Senate Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds into the destruction OF
the old Pennsylvania station.
II is charged that the President or
dered this old landmark torn down
some months ago without the shadow
Of authority. Senator'S. both Repub-
licaus and Democrats. are stirred up
over the matter and are urging Sen
atOr Scott OF West Virginia, chairman
of the Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, TO present a resolution
for an investig cation.
The pressure ON Senator Scott to
present such resolution has been
great Senator Scott has hesitated to
do so because he is known as an anti
Administration Senator and has not
wanted 10 be iU haste TO act lest is
be charged that he had proceeded
through animOsity 10 Mr.. Roosevelt.
Yields to Pressure
But Il Is stated today Cd high author
ity that Senator Scott viii put IN the
resolution and that so mary Senators
are insisting on an investigation thar ne
does not feel like trying T. withstand
the pressure.
1t viii be recalled that Gel. Charles y
BromWell, in charge Of public buildings
and grounds in the District, was sharD-
ly cat6Chised not long ago about the
tearing down OF the station when he
was before 2. subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee. He in
formed the subcommittee that he had
acted under the orders Of the President.
Critics Harsh.
The Presidents critics are harsh iu
their structures on him for his course
as to the Pennsylvania station. They
assert that there was no warrant Of law
whatever for what was done and that
f. was q. high-hauded usurpatlon OF au-
thority.
In view or the mood of the Senate
just now toward the President, and In
view OF the disposition TO set afoot other
inquiries 10 probe into executive actions.
II Is not expected the proposed resOlu-
ton. II put ins will encounter any oppo-
Eitiou.

alleged that pupils attending some kinds

while those attending others were not.
