DELAYS
HEARINGS ON
D. c. HEADS

Further delay in Senate action
upon the nominations of both Dis.
trict Commissioners Dougherty and
Taliaferro and the Public Utilities
Commission was indicafed by de.
velopments today.
The Senate subcommittee on the
District Commissionership nomina-
tions. headed by Senator Wesley
Jones, SO far has been unable to
agree upon date for a hearing this
week, and it seems probable that
the matter will go over until next
week at the earliest.
Senator King of Utah, who is
leading the opposition to confirma-
ton of the two Commissioners is
not yet ready to proceed, but is
assembling data upon which he ex.
poets to ask the subcommittee to
hold open hearings in which dis
closures regarding the manner in
which the nominees were selected
are looked for.
Senator Capper today announced
that probably no action would he
taken with regard to the public
utilities commissioners until a re.
port is made by the District Com.
mittee upon the District Commits
sioners.
In this situation there is more
than a possibility that there will De
no Senate action upon the Public
Utilities Commissionership and that
President Coolidge will be forced 10
make recess appointments following
the adjournment of Congress.
