Federal Trade Commission Asks
 Half Million For H. C. (. Inquiry
Commission to Conduct Fur ther Investigation as to Production, Storage and
 Distribution of Food
By Associated Pres.

Washington, August 12. An appropriation of $50g,000 for investigation of the in creased cost of livnig by the federal trade commission was asked of Congress today by Acting Chairman Murdock of the commission in a --
 Speaker Gillett. Funds for the commission already authorized are insufficient to conduct the proposed inquiry, the letter said.
 Chairman Murdock, who is also a member of the ub-committee named by Attorney General Palmer to submit recommendation for reducing living costs, set forth in his letter that the commission proposed to conduct fur ther Investigations as to the produc- ton, storage and distribution of food-' stuffs with the aim of arriving at figures on the real cost wholesale and retail prices.
 So far as known the President has not directed any additional investiga- tions but bills now are pending in the House for inquiries into the sugar and shoe industry.
 The communica ton from the trade commission chalrman reached the House at the close of day during which both branches gave much attention to cost of living problems. Appropria tions of $175,000 was requested for the secret service by Secretary Glass. who asked that in authorizing the appropriation 6 clause be inserted to permit the use of the service operatives in running down food hoaders and profiteers. BILLS OFFERED
 Hoarding and profiteering were the SUI bject of two measures presented in the House. A bill by Representative Gard. democrat Ohio, would provide s10,000 fine or five years imprisonment for hoarding. profiteering or monopoliz- ing the production of foodstuffs. fuel or clothing. Representative Goody- koontz. republican, West Virginia, presented a resolution to direct the Judiciary committee to frame legisla- ton to eliminate hoarding and to re- duce the amount of currency in circu- lation. MT Goodyk oontz also intro duced a resolution requesting the Secre- tary of war to sell the surplus stocks of autOmOplleS ana Holof tRichS
 Representative Keller, independent republican, introduced bill to author ize creation of national board of con servation headed by the President and composed of members of the cabinet, five senators and five representatives. which would have power to regulate wholesale and retail prices of food and clothing.
 Representative Fess. republican, Ohio, discussing the high cost of liv- ing in the House, declared that govern ment wastfulness during the war and at present in continuing many war created agencies largely was respon- sihle for the existing situation. Sena- tor Mcclellan. democrat, Tennessee, ap- bearing before the House agriculture committee, predicted organized opposi- ton on the part of the packing industry toL any legislation to regulate cold storage facilities.

Great Gallery Demonstration Greets Address Of MT. Lodge
 Against League Of Nations
Cheer Massachu- setts Senator For More Than Minute, But Hiss and Howl as Williams Rises to Make Reply
By Associated Press

Washington, August 12. The traditional decorum of Senate procedure was upset today by an unusual demon stration of approval from the galleries following an address by Senator Lodge of Massachu- sets, chairman of the foreign relations committee, assailing provisions of the league of na- tions covenant.
 For more than a minute the gallery spectators applauded and cheered in vio- lation of Senate rules, and then when order had been restored they interrupted with wild howls and misses a speech by Senator Williams, democrat, Mississippi, ir reply to MT Lodge. In spite of sharp admonition from the chair there were more hisses mingled with applause when Senator Hitchcock, democrat, Nebraska, seconded Senator Williams speech
 Vice President Marshall made no at tempt to check the first demonstration u4tH lt hau begun to ule out put later he twice threatened to clear the galleries unless order was preserved
 Senator Lodges address, itself uninter- rupted, was aimed chiefly against league provisions which he said would make the United States "a subject nation" and ended with an appeal for the preservation Of Americansm. The covenant in it's present form, he asserted. would not es- tablish league of peace, but would de- stroy the Monroe doctrine and give other nations the power to decide domestic American questions and to order Amer ican troops into foreign service.

WILLIAMS ASSAIL SLODGE
 Senator Williams bitterly assailed the foreign relations chairman, declaring that in three months of preparation he had worded his address to serve republican political ends and to play the galleries.
 There was no appeal in Senator Lodges address for rejection of the league alto gether, nor was there any mention of the programme of reservations proposed by seven republican senators as basis of it's acceptance. It was learned, however, that this program had been discussed with him by some of it's sponsors and that conference of republicans would be hsd within few days at which an at tempt will be made to bring the Massa chusetts senator and several others into agreement on such plan.
 It was understood the resolution group felt they had good grauFd for believing that their proposal would be accepted by MT Lndge and .nas enough repub- iicaus then couId be lsned up to insure success of the movement should the dem I<. baf,. nnf

WARM COMMITTEE SESSION

The uproar in the Senate chamber fol- lowed an equally tumultuous session of the foreign relations committee at which David Hunter Miller, legal adviser to the league of nations commission at Yer sailles, was vigorously questioned by re publican senators about the genesis ot the league covenant and the meaning of some of it's provisions. Clashes over the manner of questioning the witness result ed repeatedly in intervention by the chairman to restore order
 Mir. Miller said that he had never seen the "American plan for a league of na- tions until 1t was in printed form ready for submission to the commission, and that later the basis of discussion by the commission was a composite plan framed from the drafts of the various pations by himself and C.
