PENROSE FIGHTS
HOOVER'S POWER
Insists on Commission to
Control SlOO.OO0.O0O
to Feed Europe
TO DIRECT DISBURSINC

Washington. Jan. 2t.--Promising "al-
100000 food appropriation bill If his
amendment is agreed TO Senator Penrose
today asked the Senate to create n COM
mission Of three at an annual salary of
feeding European nations.
Senator Penrose said that much of the
hostility to the measure arose from op-
position to Herbert Hooyer's direction Of
the expenditures.
He is virtually a nonresident Of this
country and, after his present connec-
ton with the United states Government
ends, he probably viii retire to England,
where a congressional subpoena can't
reach him-and there will be subpoenas
after March for several department
heads"
Coming from a leading Republican,
this was accepted as definite forecast
Of the Republican intention to inyesti-
gate the conduct OF the war from every
angle when the Republicans control Con-
gress.
senator PrnrOSe Sa d that. If RurOpe
really were starving, $1,000 900 would
be only drop in the bucket "whiie, If
it is not starving the 100000, 600 is
just an appropriation to continue Hoov-
ers job"
Senator Kenyon today introduced a
bill to create an emergency public works
board to provide immediate work for the
unemployed
The bill would appropriate 100000
900 for immediate use, to enable any
State, city or Federal agency lacking
funds TO proceed with public works now
or at any time when extraordinary un-
employment exists
This money would be returned later
10 the fund so that at all times a large
sum would be available for meeting
emergency conditions.
Further provision for money to eX-
pedite public work in times of unem-
ploymtnt Is made by empowering the
War Finance Corporation TO make ad-
vances to States. which the States then
may allot to cities or counties. This
money Is to be repaid IN ten years. Three
hundred million dollars would be set
aside by the bill as the maximum amount
of such advances
An annual report to Congress by the
board is provided.
