AIM Of CABINET
Privilege Of Floor Sought to
Stem increasing Assaults
BY Critics.
Ry GEORGE r. HOLMES.
Interna tional NeM. Neryice.

Settled by repeated attacks on
Cabinet officers. made by members
Of Congress from the floors OF both
Houses. a definite movement was
launched today by Administration
officials 10 give Cabinet members
privileges of the floor In Congress
TO allow them to- meet their critics
face TO face.
The plan has the Endorsement OF
nearly all the members OF Presi-
dent Hardlngs official family, and
IL 10 believed the President himself
favors the idea.
Bitter. scathing attacks on Cab
met members. both personal and
official. have increased to startling
proportions within the last year.
Hardly day now passes but what
some member OF the Harding Cab
met comes up for a lambas,ins at
the hands OF some Senator or Con.
gressman.
The Record.
Within the last few weeks At
torney General Daugherty has been
accused OF laxity in prosecuting
wartime contract frauds. OF shield
ing profiteers, OF playing politics
with the Civil Service. and. lastly,
Of accepting $4,000 fee for oh.
tanning pardon for Charles w.
Morse. indicted financier, while
practicing law In Ohio.
Secretary Of War Weeks has been
accused OF laxity in adjusting over.
payments on wartime contracts. and
OF completely in the Bosch Magnetic
circumstances that are now being in
vestigated by the Department OF Jus.
tice.
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon
has been accused OF using his depa RI
ment to aid Big business" and de.
mand has been made that he resign
because Of his connection with many
big corporations ana banks.
Secretary OF the Interior Fall has
been charged with what amounts to
iiregularity in leasing Government
oil reserve lands TO Harry F. Sin.
clair and syndicate OF wealthy
New Workers. He also has been &C.
cused OF plotting TO deliver the for.
est reserves OF the United States
over to exploiting capitalism.
Secretary OF the Navy DENLY has
been accused OF being the tool for
big navy interests" etc. etc.
In some instances, notably In the
cases OF Attorney General Daugh.
erty and Secretary Mellen, threats
OF impeachment proceedings have
been made.
Administration officials believe
that II Cabinet members are given
floor privileges. allowing them to
meet their accusers face to face,
members OF Congress will be more
careful" In making promiscuous
charges.

General Daugherty, that Cabinet

DU POINT CLUB NOTES

The K. P. bowling team took
another crack at Axel Lund's ALL
Stars last week, and the cracking
knocked down about $3.50 pins, which
was considered plenty. The K. P.
tribe seem to have had an off-night,
as the best they could do was twenty
four sixty-something. This makes
it horse apiece, and the rubber
match ought to be fairly blood
thirsty affair.
We have been waiting quite a
while now for John Gibson to get
another of his destructive streaks on,
and we are beginning to think that
it's a long time coming. Since John
made that 265 score a while ago, a
couple of young upstairs have been
in and busted his record wide open
with some emphasis. The first was
Ed Reno with his 278, and now Har-
vey DeMars has rolled 268. The
board at the club where the high
scores are posted, has got room on it
for just three names, and if any
more small boys drift in and get
gay with the machinery it might re-
move Johns name and his record
from before the public's eye for a
period. This would never do, and
we rather expect that the prayers OF
the faithful will avail pretty soon
and John will strike once more fol
the honor of his native Wales
