ney James E. Smith.
Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier
Democrat, of New York, announced
this afternoon that he would intro
duce resolution Monday night CALL
ing for such an investigation. There
seems to be little doubt here tonight
that it will pass the Assembly, al
though it might meet with difficult
ties in the Senate.
Republicans Planned Action
Republicans in the Legislature. be-
cause OF the extraordinary grand jury
tangle, had seriously talked of a New
York inquiry, and it had been expected
that just before the end of the present
session a resolution would be adopted
providing for the appointment of COM
mlttee to conduct an investigation of
New York during the coming summer.
The Republicans nay jump at the op-
portunity of cotaining their end
through the proposed Cuvillier resolu-
tlon. AS Cuvillier is E. New York Dem
ocrat, the members of that party from
the city could not accuse the upstate
Republicans of starting a fishing ex-
redltion into their affairs for political
reasons.
Mr.. Cuvillier. in announcing his res
olutlon, declared that there is everv
reason to believe. that the New York
City administration is inefficient and
apparently corrupt" His resolution
will include in it's scope not oniv the
police scandal, but social welfare prob
lens. failure in removing the snow DUR
ing the winter and alleged gambling

Mr.. Cuvillier. Last week / went down
TO New York City. ard one month after
the great snow storm found the side
streets Of Harlem still knee deep in
snow, covered with ashes and garbage.
Certainly in thirty days somebody
should have made some effort to re-
move this refuse"
Mr.. Cuvillier in explaining the need
of legislative investigation said that
some OF the powers of the extraordi-
nary grand jury now investigating the
District Attorneys Office are limited to
the restrictions imposed upon it by
the Governor when he assigned coun-
sci. Mr.. Cuvillier declared that the
charges and counter charges of Inspec-
tor Henry and Mr.. Smith indicated a
deplorable condition of affairs not
known in New York City since the
Lexow investigation twenty-five years
ago.
Mr. Cuvillier recalled the statement
that there are $4,000 disordery fats
in New York City, while the housing
report of the Reconstruction Commits
sion estimates that there are 10000
flats short.
Some relief certainly could be
given to the housing situation in New
York City by removing the class of ten
ants occupying these $4,000 fats, who
do nothing but afford medium of
graft to somebody, if the police ad-

German Plan Seen
As Military More
French Believe if Troops
Are Permitted in Rutr
Area They viii Remain
By Ralph Courtney
Spec 'dl Cable to The Tribune

copyright. 1920. New York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, March 27.-The Allies thus
far have withheld permission from
the Ruhr district, in view of the sup
port which the stand of the German
government itself has given to the
French belief that the request to send
troops into the Rhine Valley is merely
militarstic maneuver to enable Ger
many to keep more vroops under arms
than the treaty allows. The French
believe that if the Germans once get
into the Ruhr area they never intend
to evacuate it.
The first proposal from the Berlin
government to the Allies consisted of
request for permission to introduce
a small force to maintain ordex When
it seemed possible that the Allies
mentioned a very much larger force as
necessary to the preservation of pease.
They proposed in the number of guns
alone to use considerably more than
the equipment of full army corps,
and to send an army of occupation of
between $4,000 and 100000 men.
On the question of time the German
government was equally cvasivc. At
first the German representatives in
Paris said that the pacification would
require only two or three weeks, but
later they declared that if troops were
sent into the Ruhr district they could
not be evacuated inside of two months
at least.
The Germans allowed the Allies to
assume that they would not oppose the
occupation of Darmstadt and Frank
fort as guarantee that the Berlin
troops would be withdrawn from the
Rhine Valley, but that proposal did not
appeal to Marshal Foch. These towns
already are al the mercy of the Allied
guns on the west side of the river
should Germany misbehave, and the
only effect of occupying them would
be to increase the animosity of the in
kabitants of the two towns against the
Allied troeps that occupied them.
