Washington. April 4-President Hard- ing's dismissal of twenty-nine bureau of engraving executives was the center of another storm of democratic protest in congress today despite whfte House explanation that the president fhad not intended by his action to reflect on the character of any of the discharged onI- cials.
 In the seRate congressional inauirxl was proposed formally in a resolution bt Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkansas. who declared the presidents unheraIded dismissal order had been 'inhunan and inaccessible. \ Several other democratic. senators joined in the attack, while in the house Representative ByTnes demo- crat, Tennessee, assailed the president s. act as nothing short of an outrage"
 Taking the lead in defense of the ad ministration, Senator New, republican. Indiana. told the senate there were -aul- pie reasons" for the dismissal. although unfortunately there were times when the president could not take the country into his confidence A general debate in- volving the whole patronage policy of the administration developed over Senator caraway's resolution. but it went over without action.
 At the White House. Secretary Chris tian. acting for the president. declared ir a letter to one of the dismissed officials ! that a full explanation was not yet op- perfume, although the chief executive regretted that 'rnsinuating publicity was being given the incident There had been no desire, the secretary wrote, to l reflect on the character of any govern 1 ment elapioye.
 It was also said by White House off cials that Mr. Harding feit he alone was responsible for the conduct of an efficient administration and that he proposed ts l exercise the presidential appoi1tive powe' in a manner that accorded with his owi judgInen1.
 There was no possibility, fl was de casred that any of the dismissed oilciaa would be restored to office
 The senate. debate developed into general cross fire of political arguinor on whetne. sAe civil se1sfce law WI being enforced now and whether H ha ever been observed by either repubIicai or. democratic administrations of th past The discussion continued for near ly three hours. during which Senator Norriss, republican. and HTtchcoek dem ocrat, both of Nebraska, referred to post office appointments in their state.
 Y NIT. Hitchcock denounced what he de scribed as deliberate efforts to sulbyef and destroy the civil service as apDlie to the postoffices of the country" addin N that the engraving bureau disIaissais Wa not the only evidence of ahyp0critics efforts to observe the law" on the part . the present administration.
