Adamson Measure Provides Advancement for Col.
Goethals, COL Gorgas, COL Hodges, Lieut. COL
Sibert and Commander Rosseau-Prafse
for the Late Col. Gaillard

Honorable distinction will be con-
ferred upon the American officers who
built the Panama Canal IL Congress en-
acts into law a bill that was reported
to the House yesterday by the Commit
tee on Military Affairs.
The bill which was introduced by Rep
resentative Adamson. Of Georgia, author
of the Panama Canal act. provides
that Col. Goethals and Col. Gorgas shall
be made major generals. and authorizes
in grade upon retirement
for Col Hodges and Lieut. Col Sibert,
army officers, and Commander Rous-
seau, of the navy. The report on the
bill states:
Had the work on the canal been
accomplished by a European nation
the men at the head of it would have
long since been knighted.
The bill extends the thanks Of
Congress to each of the engineer
members OF the commission under
whose direction the canal was con-
structed with the exception of Col
Gaillard, who gave up his life to the
work, and whose death was all the
more pitiful by reason Of the fact
that 1t occurred just as the work
was about completed.
Col George W. Goethals, chair
man OF the commission, the man
who turned white in the service. Of
course, the country recognizes as the
head Of the entire work. His execu-
tive and administrative abilities, add

The Federal trade commission bill was
before the Senate for about seven hours
yesterday. There was an informal de-
bate, participated in by Senators New

During the debate Senator Brandegee
declared the United States would cease
to be a free country IL the authority
which the bill grants to the commission
to interfere with private business was
ever legally exercised.
Turning to the exercise Of White House
influence on the trust program, Senator
Brandegee said:
Il am sick of this domineering and
hectorlng of Congress by the President.

right to frame up a legislative program.

offered by Chairman Newlands. This
provides that no order or
finding by the Federal trade commission
may be used as evidence in any suit
under the Sherman antitrust law by
either side to the controversy. Senator
