Norris Fails
to Get Action
on Credit Bill
Parliamentary Objections De-
lay Consideration Of His
Measure Before Next
Monday.
by GEORGE r. AUTHIER.
Correspondent The Omaha Bee,


Washington, Dec. 16.-(Speclall-
Senator Norris today attempted to
move TO take up his bill providing
for the organization of the Consumer
and Producers Finance corporation,
but met parliamentary objections
which will postpone consideration of
the substitution of his bill for ship
subsidy until next Monday. Senator
Norris will renew his motion then
and the test fight will be on to de-
termine whether ship subsidy is to be
side-tracked at this time.
Senator Norris attempted to take up
his bill while Senator McKellar Of
Tennessee was speaking on ship sub
sidy. He asked If Mckellar would
yield the floor for this purpose. Sem
ator McKellar said he did not want
to give up the floor, to which Senator
Norris explained he only wanted the
senator to yield briefly so the motion
could be made. Senator Jones Of
Washington promptly objected that
since the motion was debatable, 1t
could not be made unless Senator Nc
Kellar gave up the floor all together.
Senator Norris accepted this view of
the situation and gave notice he would
renew the motion Monday when SEN
ator McKellar will have completed his
speech.
Opposition Encountered.
Administration senators are lining
up against Vie attempt TO sidetrack
ship subsidy now with no particular
hostility to the Norris bill in itself,
except that its consideration now. 1t
is believed. would only delay action.
both on ship subsidy and on rural
credit legislation.
Senator Norris occupies the stra-
tegic position that senators who vote
against his motion to take up his bill
will place themselves in the position
of seeming to vote in favor Of subsidy
which will be as much In question as
the Norris bill itself.
Probe Foreign Market.
In the meantime, the banking COM
mittee 10 continuing its hearings on
other rural credits measures with
Eugene Meyer as the directing in
fuence of the administration before
that body. The committee, is consid.
ering the Norris bill along with other
measures.
This committee is conducting one
line of investigation which was not
taken up so fully before the com
mittee on agriculture which support
ed the Nebraskan's proposal. The
hearings before the agricultural com.
mittee dealt chiefly with the condi-
tion Of the farmer, especially in the
northwest. The banking committee

situation and is developing testimony

Keller Ignores
Second Call in
Daugherty Case
Minnesota Congressman Again
Refuses to Testify-Com-
mittec to Decide OH
Action Monday.

Washington. Dec. 16.--What action
should be taken as a result of the
refusal of Representative Keller. re-
his Impeachment charges against At
torney General Daugherty will be
considered Monday by the house
judiciary committee.
For the second time Mr.. Keller
failed to personally respond to a for
NAL subpoena served on him after
his dramatic withdrawal Thursday
from further participation in the
proceeding before the committee.
Some members wanted to certify the
case to the house Immediately with a
view to contempt proceedings there,
but others were not so certain that
the committee had authority to do
so. since Mr.. Keller had served for
NAL notice through his counsel that
he stood on his rights as member
Of the house. 1t was his position that
the committee clearly had exceeded
its constitutional powers in issuing
the subpoena, which, it was contend
ed. carried back of it the threat that
II he did not appear he would be
cited for contempt.
Says Rights Plain.
Representative Graham of Penn
sylvania. ranking republican on the
committee. insisted that the right of
the committee was plain and that II
should act at once. Representative
Summers, democrat. Texas, and other
members held, however. that there
was no precedent SO far as they could
find, and that the committee should
consider the matter deliberately.
Chairman Nolstead also co,ynseled
against too hasty action and after
arguments. 1t was decided to put the
matter over until Monday.
At the same time the committee
voted to resume hearings on the i'm
parchment charges next Tuesday.
Witnesses will include Representa-
tives Woodruff of Michigan and John
son, South Dakota. republicans, who
have attacked the attorney general in
the house for alleged failure to pros
ecute war fraud cases vigorously.
Want All the Facts.
Chairman Nolstead declared it was
the purpose of the committee to get
all the facts it could about the
charges. despite the withdrawal of
Mr.. Keller. Hs said Mr.. I<eller's
charges that the committee had been
packed" were unfair and unfounded.
and other members denied the allega-
ton Of the Minnesota member that
there was an effort to "whitewash"
Mr.. Daugherty.
Chairman Noystead has written to
both Representatives JohnsdN and
Woodruff asking for any assistance
they could give in investigating Mr..
Keller's charges, and both have Of
fered to help in any inquiry into the
charges they made.
Announcing that he could submit at
once a list of witnesses, including
army officers and civilians who in his
opinion, would substantiate "every
statement made to the house." Mr..
Johnson asked the privilege Of appear.
ing before the committee to cross
examine certain of the witnesses.
