G. 0. P. Leader Says La Fol-

for Committee Posts.
DISCUSSES PROPOSAL
WITH PRESIDENT TODAY
Has No Specific Plan of Chastise.
ment-Silent on Speakership
Candidacy.

Representative Longworth of Ohio,
the Republican House leader, came
out today in favor of restricting the
consideration heretofore given the
insurgent Republicans in the House.
Those insurgents who failed to
support President Coolidge, Mr.
Longworth said, had no call for un-
due consideration in the organization
of the next House.
The Ohio representative, who
called upon President Coolidge, con-
tended, as have several other Repub-
liz an members of the House or SEN
d that inasmuch as the Republicans
be held responsible for legisla-
| A. the party should take steps
in the organization of the next House
to- prevent hindrance from the insur-
gent group. He did not outline. how
ever, any specific plan for taking care
of the La Toilette supporters in the
way of committee assignments
Mr.. Longworth predicted that all
necessary Legislation could be ac-
complished at this session without
the necessity of an extra session
after March 4. but he has not out
lined any specific Legislative program.
While opposing the publication of
income tax returns, which, he said,
was not the intent of the law, he said
he doubted the wisdom OF reopening
the question at this session with the
same membership that enacted the
new law.
Although he said he had been ap-
preached by his State delegation and
by members of majority of the other
delegations asking that he be a can
didate for Speaker in the next Con-
gress. to succeed Speaker Gillett, Mr..
Longworth has not formally announc-
ed his candidacy.
Representative Madden of Illinois is
a candidate for the place.

WALSH SUPPORTS
INCOME PUBLICITY
Montana Senator Favors
Even More Facts Given
on Taxes.

Senator Thomas j. Walsh of Mon
tana, the man who lifted the lid in
the Teapot Dome oil lease case, to-
day announced himself as heartily
in favor of the publicity of income
it would be well for the Senate COM
mittee headed by Senator Couzens of
Michigan to look carefully into the
returns submitted by certain individ-
uals and corporations
1T would be interesting to know
why the published returns of some
of these gentlemen including Harry
F. Sinclair, should have been SO
SMALL" said Senator Walsh. 1T was
Sinclair who obtained the lease Of
the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve
for his company.
Senator Walsh returned to Washing
ton last night for the first time since
his reelection to the Senate. He was
heartily congratulated by many of his
colleagues today on his success.
The Montana Senator believes there
should be complete publication of the
Federal income tax returns. showing in
detail how the totals are arrived at.
He would oppose, he said, any attempt
to repeal the present law providing for
would support a measure for still greater
publicity.
In this he is in opposition to the
position taken by Senator Harrison of
Mississippi, temporary chairman of
the Democratic national convention,
of which Senator Walsh was the per-
manent chairman. Senator Harrison
recently announced that he would
favor the repeal of the publicity
clause of the income tax law.
Discusses Doheny Suit.
Referring to the trial to settle the
validity of the lease of the California
naval oil reserves to f. L. Doheny of
Los Angeles, Senator Walsh said that
reports seem to show that the case
would turn on the question whether
the 100000 handed over to former
Secretary Fall of the Interior De-
partment was a loan or bribe. This
was unfortunate, If SO, according to
Senator Walsh.
He said that, even if the transac-
ton should be held loan, it still
should invalidate the leases. because
clearly a loan of 100000 to the man
who had control of the Governments
oil reserves, made at a time when
leases were being negotiated, would
place a strong constraint upon Fall
to favor the man making such a
loan to Fall.
Senator Walsh apparently takes
with a grain of salt talk of "disci-
plining" either Senator Wheeler.
Democrat, of Montana, or Senator
La Toilette, Republican, of Wiscon-
sin because of their candidacy for
Vice President and President on a
third ticket.

VOTEFOR DISTRICT
SEENBY cAPPER
Senator Says Representation
Cannot Long Be Denied
Residents.

The plea of citizens of the District
of Columbia for national representa-
tion cannot long be denied, is the
of Kansas. who returned to Washing
ton recently after an overwhelming
victory for reelection in his native
State.
There is no answerable argument
to the District of Columbia's right to
be represented in some form in Con-
gress," said Senator Capper today.
.If the matter were put up to the
States for ratification i am sure that
immediate and unanimous action
would be taken to give the citizens of
this city their rights as American
citizens.
Would Hasten Action.
Representation should be one OF
the first matters to be taken up at
the Senate District committee when
the next session of Congress gets
under way. Seats in the House for
two Representatives from the District
with voting power should be given
at an early date. l am in favor Of
going the whole way and giving the
District national representation as
provided for in the constitutional
amendment, but l am afraid that there
are many members of Congress who
oppose the idea of Senators from the
National Capital.
THE right to vote for presidential
electors and to sue and be sued in the
Federal Courts should, of course, be
granted. There is no justice in the
present arrangement and conditions
should be remedied.'
Fnvors Campaign.
Senator Capper said that an lnten-
sive campaign should be undertaken n
to acquaint the whole country with
the plight of Washington. Pointins
ont that while members of Congress
were entirely cognizant of the situa-
tion the public as whole did not
realize what an un-American condl-
tion existed here.
He said that he believed the main
hope of Washington in accomplishing
representation was in the progressive
element of the Western and Middle
Western States. The East, he said
was more inclined to stand by tradi-
tion and to discourage changes OF
this character.
"The East seems to feel" the Sen
ator said, that because our fore
fathers founded Washington as a
Federal city it should always re-
main Federal city. conditions
have changed since that time and
Washington, with a population larger
than seven States, should have the
right to be represented in the booS
that makes it's laws.
other matters which Senator Cap
per ranked as of Importance to the
district and on which action should
be taken by the Senate District COM
mittee were the compulsory e6uca-
tion law, the school census, new
buildings for schools and the public
welfare bill.
Asked if he would succeed Senator
Ball, whose term expires March 4
as chairman of the Senate committee
Senator Capper said that lit was a
matter for the future and that he
did not know whether he cared "to
take on added burdens

Cabinet Fails to Take Up
Russian Question at
Session Today.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press-
LONDON, November 90. = Today's
meeting OF the British cabinet devel
oped nothing new regarding Russia.
In official circles the feeling seems
to be that the governments action in
throwing aside the Labor ministrys
treaty with the Soviet government
has brought Great Britain into line
with Americas Russian policy.
1t was announced that NJ. Rakov-
sky, Soviet representative, was COM
muricating with his government and
could not make any statement at
present.
Jean Berlin. councillor of the Soviet
embassy, reiterated that the Soviet
officials here We're convinced that the
Zinovieff propaganda letter was a
forgery.
The government has shown it's
hand as regards its policy toward
Russia by publishing communications
addressed to NJ. Rakovsky, Soviet
representative in London, in contin-
uance of the correspondence on the
famous Zinovieff letter, so suddenly
interrupted by the down fall of the
Macdonald administration.
Most important is the somewhat
curt notification that the British gov
ernment does not intend to ratify the
treaties concluded with the Soviet
government by the Macdonald min
istry.
A suggestion was made in Russian
quarters for the renewal or reopen
ing of the negotiations, but appar-
emily from the tone of the correspon-
dence, this is closed chapter so far
as the Baldwin government is con-
cerned, and any further initiative in
this direction must come from the
Soviet government. 1t is assumed,
however, that there is no idea of GO
ing back on recognition of the soviet,
accorded by the Macdonald adminis-
tration.
