ACTION UPON M'NARY NOMINATION PUT OFF
 BY SENATE COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S.-senate action on the nomination Of James c. McNary, Texas-New Mexico bank CT. to be comptroller of currency, today went over until Saturday, only one day before the close of Congress. when the banking committee will vote on the nomination.
 The companion case of D. R. Cris- singer, present comptroller. nomi- mated to be governor of the federal reserve board, was disposed of earlier by the banking committee with a favorable report to the Senate. indi- eating confirmation of Mir. Crissinger with the prospect of recess ap- pontment of Mir. McNary, after ad- iournment of Congress, as comp troller.
 Although a majority of the commit- tee was said to favor . recommenda- rtion of confirmation in the McNary case. action went over. The commit tee agreed. however, to vote Satur- day, but members said that the delay

MOVE |S LAUNCHED TO INSURE SECOND
 TERM FUR HARDING
"CautiouS 0vertures" Being Made in Behalf President Who Later Will Tour
 the Country

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-(By As sociated Press)-Convinced that 8 half dozen aspirants already are mak- ing cautious overtures to test their strength as republican presidential possibilities for 1924. some of the friends of President Harding have begun work to assure him re-nom- ination
 Thus far the movement on behalf of the President has not reached the proportions of a closely knit organ ization, but 1t has progressed to the point where it promises to make It. self felt in many states before the coming summer Is well begun.
 The attitude of MT. Harding him selt toward a second term remains unannounced, and 1t is considered inn probable that he will make any pub lie statement of his intentions at least in the near future. There IS quite general agreement among those on the inner circle of. Washington politics. however, that desire for public indorsement of his stewardship D will impel him to stand for re-elec- tion.
 It is upon this presumption, at any rate, that those who want to see him remain in the White House for an- ether four years, are proceeding. h. oiuded in the group of friends who have been in conference here are some of the men who led the suc- cessful convention campaign of 1920. and some who came over to the Harding ranks from other camps after the convention was over. As a result, the ultimate lineup of the Harding forces of 1924 is expected to resemble only in part the organiza- ton that fought and triumphed in the nomination fight of three years ago.
 Attorney General Daugherty, who was the pre-conventien manager for Mir. Harding in 1920 is expected 10 again take a hand in urging re- nomination. But for several reasons Mir. Daugherty is not expected by his friends to be as active as he was in 1920. His health recently failed him, requiring him to remain in bed for several weeks. and although he has virtually recovered. he canot take the burden of travel and conference which would fall upon an active campaign manager In addition his official duties in the department of justice are expected to preclude him from being long absent from Wash ington during the campaign.

 Conference With Dnugherty.
 Several men who have long been prominent in party affairs have been mentioned as avail9ble for the more strenuous work of organization. Charles D. Hilles, former national chairman, is one of those so consd- cred, but he has made no statement thus far as to what part he would be willing to take in the pre-conven- ton work. Recently MT. Hlles con- ferred with the President and togeth- CT they visited MT. Daugherty in his sick room.
 In the back ground of these con- alterations lies also the question of who is to manage the republican

TERRORISM IS CHARGED
 BY GERMAN OFFICIAL

BERLIN, Feb. 2s.7CBy United Press. )-The French In the Ruhr are carrying out definite, we'll organ ized policy of terrorism, openly wag- ing provocative measures of fright tulness against one principal city a week. the official spokesman of the German foreign office charges today,
 It was declared that first Essen. then Gelsenkirchen. Recklinhausen. and now Bochum have been made the center of the Terrorist activities"
 Even in the old occupied territory, the French are acting similarly, the foreign office says. pointing to Trien. At this city. it is charged, the popu- lace is cut off entirely from the out side world. No trains are running, no mail or newspapers get in.

campaign after the nomination has been made. The supporters of John T. Adams, the present national chairman, say they expect him to re- tain that post regardless of the re- suit of the nominating convention Discussions of the subject here re- gently have brought to light, how ever. an attempt by the friends of Will H. Hays. who managed the 1920 campaign. to reinstate him in the chairmanship.
 The exact strength of the Hays boom is yet to be demonstrated, but it Is receiving serious notice among the coterle of Harding supporters who are laying the ground work for his re-aomination. It is realized that if Mir. Harding is nominated, it will be for him to say whether he de- sires to again seek the services of the man who was at the helm when the party rolled up it's record break ing majority of 1920.
 All of these subjects seem likely to be thrashed over very soon after MT. Harding concludes the month s vacation In Florida, for (which he will leave Washington early next week. Attorney General Daugherty, in whom the President recently ex- pressed anew his complete confi- dence. will be one of the guests on the Florida houseboat trip. and after 1t is concluded, it is possible that

 AssOclation)
 DUSSELDORF, Feb. 2s.-The most startling feature of the Ruhr occupa- tion is the calm complaisance with which both the French troops and the inhabitants accept the idea that there will be another FrancoGerman war as soon as Germany is able to fight. That is the ultimate answer one gets in answer to the question. What is going to be the outcome of the occu- pation?'
 For the immediate present a more pressing question is, Will the French and ,Belgians ever get out. and on what conditions?" The corre- spondent has asked Premier Poin- care, General Degoutte, Herman Meyer grimy German mine fore man, and many persons in the in- vaded territory.
 Premier Poincare said: we will refuse to evacuate until Germany proves she will execute the Versailles treaty and gives sufficient guaran- tees"
 General Degoutte said: If Germany doesn't pay us for a thousand years, we'll be here for a thousand years" Regardless of official opinions, the correspondent sought the view of workers and of French officers and poilus.
 grimy German mine foreman pointed to group of children swarm ing in the streets of this, as of every Rhineland town. Herman Meyer was his name. When did he think the French would go?
 Not until those boys have grown up and driven them out by war"
 Essence of opinion gathered by the correspondent in Paris and in the Rhineland leads to belief that French ideas are swinging more strongly each day toward a policy of "securi- ty above everything else"

MIR. GALLAGHER PLAYS
 TO COURT AUDIENCE WITH ONLY ONE LAUGH

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.--Edward F Gallagher of the famous comedy team of Gallagher and Shean played for more than three hours before a court room audience today and collected but one laugh.
 That was when he answered no absolutely" to question by his law yer, and the attorney came back with the rest of the teams popular line, positively, MT. Gallagher"
 The comedians are being sued by the Shubert Theatrical company. which alleges they are so good that the Shuberts are being "irreparably damaged by their appearance lnder Florenz Zelgleld's roof. and asks that they be restrained from further all legged violation of contract with the Shubert's.
 The comedians take the altitude, in. the first place, that the Shuberts violated the contract, and In the sec- ond place that they aren't nearly so good as the Shuberts are trying to make them out. and the Shuberts really aren't missing so much.
 Gallagher testifies that he and his partner. Shean, were home men, and that when they were employed with the Shuberts they were prom ised places in the production" so they wouldn't have to take the road on the Shubert vaudeville circuit They quit, he said, when no pro ductions" that would keep them in New York were forthcoming.
 When MT. Gallagher and Mir Shean hurried off to work in a matinee, Mark A. Luescher. manager the Hippodrome. was called to testify for them. He gave them quite as poor reputation as they could have wished.
 Declaring they were far. from unique" he enumerated a long list Of teams, which, he said, were far better known"
 Andrew Tombes. partner of Will Rogers, testified that Gallagher and Shean could easily be replaced.
 Could you and Rogers do it?" he was asked.
 Yes" he said.
 Rogers, who testified yesterday, admitted he was much better than either Gallagher or Shean, but de- clared solemnly that Tombes was awful"

MT. IldfulHS ana at least part or the party will proceed to Ohio to spend few days on home soil. There he will have an opportunity to see republican state leaders and examine the republican organization of his home state. which last November elected g democratic governor. It is taken for granted that a solid Ohio delegation would be the first requisite to convention lineup, which would ensure a renomination. Harding to Render Accounting.
 Later in the summer, MT. Hard ing's friends are predicting the Presi- dent will take a speech making trip that will carry him to the Pacific coast. and will include about 20 ad- dresses. During this trip he will have the opportunity for which he frequently has expressed a desire to "get better acquainted with the people whose chosen spokesman he Is. II is not Intended to give the tour the color of a swing around the political circle. but when he faces his audiences he is expected to give an accounting of his acts in the past, and outline his policies for the flu ture.
 , As a result of various contributing causes, it is the belief of political observers that the campaign so far as the republicans. are concerned at least will be In full swing almost year before the nominating con- vention. Not the least of these causes is the fact that IT states now have direct primary laws in which the battle for delegates to the national convention is won or lost
 In all their calculations the primary system has been we'll to the fore in the minds of those who want the renomination movement to develop smoothly. It is realized that should the first states to hold primaries fail to indorse MT. Harding decisively long before the season heretofore set aside for state conventions.
 the reaction over the remainder of the country might prove very great handicap in the months that followed.
 According to information reaching the Presidents friends, some of those who may be expected to shy their hats into the ring are distinctly of the favorite son class of candidate but even in their case the Harding adherents believe there should be a well established policy. and that their candidate should either stay out of favorite son states entirely or else go In determined to make a creditable showing.
