HARDING CHARGED BY HEFL|N WITH
 AIDING NEWBERRY
Claims President Is Maintain ing Social" Lobby for Benefit of Senator From
 Michigan
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The AEe-HernId.
 bOO Davidson BnllnInE

Washington, January 7.--(Special) The President of the United States contributes to the effort of the "so- cial"- lobby to retain Senator Truman II. Newberry of Michigan in posses sion of his seat, according to Senator J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama.
 The part the President has played in an effort to save Newberry, ac- cording to the Alabama senator, fol- lows:
 He entertained Newberry in box at theatre.
 lie had Newberry' to dine with him.
 lie has appointed five of New berry's friends, some of whom wer" indicted along with the senator, to office in Michigan.
 He has refused to demand the dis missal of New berry.
 Can't Sustain Position
 Senator Heflin's attack against the President was contained in d speech in the beginning of which he assailed the cotton exchanges for an alleged exploitation of the farmers, and in the end of which he flayed Newberry.
 Senator Heflin and Senator Cara way were about agreed, as result of series of questions and answers. that the President had insisted on the immediate appointment of a successor to Senator Penrose because of his in- terest in Newberry. Senators Wads- worth and Curtis quickly took them to task, and, of course, they could not sustain their position relative to the alleged activity of the President.
 But the President had actually taken hand Senator Heflin declared. And then he referred to the theatre and dinner parties.
 Attack on President
 Said Senator Heflin: If the Presi- dent has taken no hand in this mat ter, why has he been to the theatre and had Newberry in box parties with him? Why has he had Newberry in the White House to dine with him while this indictment was pending against the Senator? What is the at titude of the President?
 "A seat in this body has been bought. When the soldiers adjusted compensation bill was on the calen- dar he took hand He told us what to do. Why can't he get in touch with us now, and denounce the sale of Sem ate seats
 call upon you in the name of honest politics and against the bane- full use of money, to turn this man out Why does he not say that? The best interests of the country de- mand it."
