Senator Reed Moves to Have
Presidents Message
Expungcd From
Record.
Calls 1t "Insult to Senate .
By international News Service.


Washington, April 12.-As the ell
max of one OF the most harsh and
bitter attacks to which a president
OF the United States has ever been
subjected, Senator James A. Reed,
democrat, Missouri. tonight offered
resolution in the senate to expunge
from the Congressional Record the
special message OF President Coolidge.
condemning the investigation OF Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon and
the bureau of internal revenue.
Declaring that the presidential mes
sage should never have been given
the courtesy OF being received" Reed
described as an offensive document
which was an insult to the senate
Reed announced that he would de-
mand action on the resolution Mon
day.
The resolution was as follows:
Resolved, That the communication
OF the president of the United States
Of date of April il, 1924, and the let.
ter to the secretary of the treasury
of date OF April 10. 1924. be and are
hereby expunged from the record OF
the senate
(The secretary of the treasury's let
ter, which was transmitted to the
senate by the president, condemned
government by investigation" and
severely criticized the courts Of the
internal revenue inquiry.
False Statement, Charge.
Senator Reed charged that the
president had made false statement
IN his message when he stated the
Treasury department was under at
taek
Senator Walsh said the presidents
message was the most arrogant
since the days of the Tudors and
Stuarts."
1T seems" said Walsh. that the
president is denouncing the senate
because It exposed Albert Fall. the
horrible administration of the veter-
ans bureau .nd Is now exposing cor
ruption In the Department Of JUS
tice.
Senator McKellar, who has intro
duced a resolution challenging Mel
Ions right to hold Office because OF
his large business holdings, charged
that Mellon was zone OF the biggest
distillers of whisky in the United
states" and that this accounted for
mo real effort at prohibition enforce
ment"
In his defense of the presidents at
titude, Senator watson told the sen
ate that Senator Couzens employed
Francis Heney, California attorney,
as an investigator at the suggestion
of Governor Clifford Pinchot Of Penn
sylvania, long on the outs with Mel
lon, and that Pinchot had injected
himself" into the investigation.
"The internal revenue investiga-
ton and all these other Investigations
are aimed at President Coolidge" he
said.
"The whole thing Is an assault on
the president. These arrows have
all been aimed at his tCoolidge's)
breast, but today they lie broken at
his feet. They have found no flaw
in his srmor--and they will find
none"

Splendid Growth in Public Confidence

The grow with of The
Omaha Bee in the conf
dence of the people within
a period of little more than
three years is one of the
outstanding achievements
of American newspapers.
Proof of this growth. for
the years 1929. shown
in the chart. is taken from
the official figures ofsthe
Audit Bureau OF Circuls-
tion. The figures indicate
clean paid for circulation.
A newspaper that has
shown such a wonderful
growth in public conf
denee has that reader in
terest which centers alike
in its news columns and in
its advertising.
This good will Of the
people is exemplified daily
in the receipt az the office
Of The Omaha Rec Of more
voluntary suhse rirtions
than ever before in the his
tory of this newspaper.
