SECRECY CAMP Align
Anti-Seerecy Campaign Now
on IN U. S. Senate


Washington, April 4. Open
war was declared in the United
States senate today against the
time h onored rule of secrecy re-
lating to proceedings in execu-
tive sessions.
The resolution proposing to
amend the rules and which was
referred to the committee on
rules reads:
Resolved that it is the judg-
ment Of the senate that all exec
utive sessions shall hereafter be
open to the public except when
treaties are considered or when
the senate, by unanimous con-
sent orders otherwise; and the
committee on rules is directed to
prepare such amendments to the
present rules or to prepare new
rules or both as may be neces-
sary to carry out the terms Of
this resolution and present the
same to the senate for action
thereon. z
1t was submitted with the
backing Of Senators LaFollette,
Cummins, Gronna, Borah, Clapp,
Jones, Bristow, Norris and Pom
dexter, who proposed, as they
gave notice Friday, to discuss
freely executive session debates
on the qualifications of nominees
for public office when they feel
the public should be informed re-
garding them.
Even senators who adhere to
the most strict Interpretation Of
the senate rules admitted that
the senate could not punish mem
bers who disclose information
relating to presidential appoint
ments, agreeing that observ-
ance Of secrecy was matter of
appealing to the individual con-
science.
