SENATE PLANS
/ MOVE To bALk
! BUYING SEATS
Rules Committee Feels Daugh-
erty Opinion Opens Way to
| "Newberryizing."
BY JAMES r. NOURSE,
Universal Service.

Unanimity of opinion prevails
among members of the Senate
Rules Committee that some action
by the Senate is necessary to pre-
vent the threatened wholesale New
berryizing' of Senatorial contests
this fall.
This was developed when the
committee met yesterday to consider
the Pomerene resolution to fix a
limit of $4,000 on expenditures of
Senatorial candidates and to au.
thorize the Senate to reject the
credentials of any Senator-elect
whose expenses are in excess of
that amount.
Senator Curtis, Republican whip
and chairman of the committee, ex-
pressed himself in complete SYM
pathy with the purpose of the reso-
luton, as did Senator Underwood,
the Democratic leader. Practically
every other member Of the COM
mittee present declared that be.
cause Of Attorney General Daugh-
ertys opinion that the limitation
OIL expenditures llASu III tic Soiiupt
Practices act does not apply to
primary election disbursements by
Senatorial candidates, it is neces-
sary for the Senate itself to take
some steps to protect itself against
the entrance into the Senate Of
men whose expenditures rpay far
exceed the maximum permitted by
that act.
The only question which arose in
the minds of the committee mem
bers was whether the Rules Com
mittee had jurisdiction over such a
matter, and after considerable argu-
ment it was decided to permit Chair
man Curtis to confer with Senator
Pomerene, who is now in Ohio, and
ascertain IL he is willing to have
the resolution considered by the
Privileges and Elections Commit
tee of which ne is a member and
Senator Dillingham; is chairman.
II the amendment is considered by
the latter committee 1t is probable
that instead OF being reported as
an amendment to the Senate Rules
1t will be sent to the Senate as
bill to apply to all Congressional
elections.

APPROVES
UNDERWOOD BILL

The Underwood bill to create an
American commission to adjudicate
American war claims against Ger
many and Austria and to pay such
claims out of seized enemy alien prop
erty was Endorsed by A. Mitchell Pal
mer, former Attorney General and
alien property custodian, today before

Mr.. Palmer and another former
Garvan, now head OF the Chemical
Foundation. and the present alien
property custodian, Thomas w. Miller.
appeared before the subcommittee to-
day at the opening Of hearings on the
bill
declared. lis entirely feasible and an
entirely proper method under the
treaties and the trading with the
enemy act Of disposing of this enemy
propery and of passing upon. ad-
Indicating and paying meritorious
claims aof American citizens and OF
the United States government"
Inquiry 10 Limited.
Chairman Cummins Of the subcom-
mittee announced, in opening the
hearing. that they would be limited to
wood bill, creation of claims COM
mission and disposition of seized
enemy property.
I'VE are not going into any in
vestigation of the former or present
alien property custodians," said
Chairman Cummins. and Senator I'm
derwood said he was glad to have
the inquiry so limited.
Mr. Palmer expressed the opinion
that under the treaty OF Versailles
and what he termed the separte
treaty of peace with Germany" all
American rights were retained, in
GLIDING the right to use seized prop
erty to pay American claims.
The present administration course
of negotiating a claims treaty with
Germany. to set up a joint claims
commi ssion. was attacked by Mr.. Pal
mer, discussing points made in Senate
debate against the Underwood bill.
Under the Versailles treaty. Mr.. Pal
mer said. the German property seized
in this country was. in effect. renuii
sitioned. not by the American gov
ernment. but by the German govern
ment as a pledge for payment OF
American claims.
The German government agreed. he
explained. that German subjects
whose property was used to pay
Amerncan claims would have a claim,
against the German government and
not against the American govern.
