Hearings On Defense Meas

General Public

Washington, Dec. 6.-The certainty
of determined and serious opposition
to the administration 3 preparedness
program hung over the opening of the
Gath congress today.
The presence of the democratic ma
tional committee slated to select time
and place for the national convention
in its session tomorrow gave the day
an unwonted political aspect. The
spectacular feature, attendant upon the
opening, was supplied ~ the parade
Of suftragists, welcoming their ENJOYS
from San Francisco with monster Pc
tition bespeaking presidential and CON
gressional aid for the federal suff-
rage amendment. This demonstration
was marred, too, by the loss of half
mile of signatures-l00,000 names.
These were expressed from Whining
ton, Delaware, but could not be found.
A bleak, raw day, however, cast
somewhat of pail on the procession.
Despite this, however, big throng
marched bravely. A band, and escort
of Atlantic City citizens, ionoring Rep
resentative Bacharach added an enliv
ening touch to the day.
In the senate, Secretary Baker pre-
sided pending the election of Senator
Clarke as president pro tenn. Vice
President Marshall was absent be-
cause of his wife's illness.
Previous to the sounding of gavel at
both ends Of the capitol the scenate re-
publicans in caucus named Gallinger of
New Hampshire as their leader.
Bovine to the necessity of support
for its preparedness program, the ad
ministration leaders agreed to take the
republicans into their fullest conf
dence in framing the bills. Hearings
on the derence measures will be open
to the public except when high Off
cials may be present to disclose diplo-
matte and defense secrets, gathered by
representatives abroad.

efforts and detail again the horrors OF
the war.
