HALLER PREPARING
NEW POLISH ATTACK
General Reported to Have
25,000 Men Ready to
Fight PiIsudski.

PARIS, May 19.-The Polish gen
eral, Haller, who has at his disposal
$4,000 men of all arms and with tanks,
sudski, who recently overthrow the
Polish government. says the Posen
correspondent of the Echo de Paris.
There is a reign of terror in War
saw and fighting has again broken
out" the correspondent quotes Gen.
Haller as having said to him. The
general denied that 80 per cent of the
Polish troops supported Pilsudski or
that President Wojciechowski had re-
signed.
"The ministers are prisoners and
refuse to accept the situation imposed
by violence" Gen. Haller added. He
said he did not believe that Pilsudski
would eventually meet with success in
his movement.
II have every confidence in the
value of the Posen troops he de
clared. "It will require time to crush
the insurrection, but we shall sue
ceed."
Opposition Is Strengthening.
Information reaching official sources
in Paris from Poland indicates that
the opposition to PilsudSki is strength
ening in Posen and upper Silesia. The
leaders Of the movement demand that
Pilsudski Immediately legalize his
position and summon the Nationa
Assembly for the election of new
president, to meet outside of WARSAW
instead of within the capital, which Is
controlled by his military forces.
The Havas correspondent in war
saw reports that 19 generals who were
interned after the defense of the Bel
vedere Palace against Pilsudski's
forces will be released shortly, an in

PRESIDENT PUSHING
FRENCH DEBTPACT
Action Will Be Taken This
Session-Expected to
Delay Adjournment.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Coolidge has made it very
apparent that he wants the French
debt agreement ratified before this
session Of Congress comes to a close.
He has turned a deaf ear to sugges-
tions from a number of Republican
leaders in the Senate and the House
that this matter be shelved until Con-
gress meets again next December.
This was the opinion expressed at
the White House today by Representa-
tive Longworth, Speaker of the House,
and Representative Tlson of Connec-
ticut, Republican leader, who con-
ferred separately with the Executive
regarding this and other important
legislation.
Following their talk with the Presi-
dent, Speaker Longworth and Leader
Tilson went back to the Capitol to
carry the Presidents views. Both ex-
pressed themselves as being in hearty
accord with the President.

This, however, is going to longer

These leaders doubt If Congress will
be able to close now before June Is.
They intimated June 20 would be
nearer to the actual closing day. Ad-
iournment, however, will depend
greatly upon the speed with which
the Senate diSpoSes of the debt. The

AT TODAY'S SESSION
Passage of Amended Plan Would

Conference.

The Senate civil service committee
decided today to adhere to its previous
action in support of the Stantield civil
service retirement bill. which is more
liberal in its provisions than the Bud
get Bureau bill passed by the House
Monday.
The committee agreed to substitute
the House bill for the Senate bill as
the unfinished business before the
Senate, but at the same time it in
structed Senator Stanfield to recon.
mend to the Senate that all after the
enacing clause of the House bill be
stricken out and the more liberal Stan

The expectation Is that the cues.
ton will come before the Senate short
ly after it meets this afternoon and
Senator Couzens, chairman of the civil
service committee. said that he ex.

Stanfield plan.
AT the same time, Senator Smoot
Republican, Of Utah, will again be
prepared to strongly advocate ac.

believes that the House measure is

If the Senate passed it's own bill it
would have to be considered by the
House again.
The most important difference be
tween the two plans is that the House
bill, which was prepared by the
Budget Bureau, increases the max
fmum annuity from $720 n year tc
$1,000. while the Stanfeld bill would
raise the maximum to $1,000. The
House bill makes no provision for
voluntary retirement, while the Stan
field measure would permit employees
to exercise the option of retirement
at age limits before the age when re-
tirement is compulsory.

SENATE APPROVES
CAMP PA|GN INQUIRY
Expenses of Pennsylvania
Primary Seem Sure of

A senatorial investigation of ex-

seemed assured today when the Sen

resolution offered by Senator Reed

cial Senate committee with author

The adoption of this resolution
came as a climax to more than an
hour of spirited debate and colloquy
over the Pennsylvania primary.
When Senator Reed of Missouri
first introduced the resolution for an
inquiry into expenditures there was
objection to it's immediate considera-
ton by Senator Reed of Pennsyl-
vania. Later a motion was made to
take up the resolution for immediate
consideration, which was carried, %

with Democrats heralding it as an ex

and with Senator Reed, Pennsylvania,
declaring that the outcome hinged on

In the course of the colloquy Sen

in which it was hinted large sums
of money had been spent in the Penn
