Invite Hays Answer

~ tHitcd Press
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The
Senate Teapot Dome Committee will
invite Will Hays, former chairman
of the Republican national commit
tee, to testify again, when he re-
turns from Europe, in answer to
evidence which has accumulated in
his absence, Senator Walsh of Mon
tana announced today
Hays will be invited to tell the
purpose of his visit to Irvine Len
root, chairman of the Teapot Com
mittee in 1924 when the committee
was attempting to ascertain where
former Secretary Of Interior Fall
obtained sudden wealth, Walsh said.
Lenroot has testified that Hays
came to see him here and asked
him what the committee desired to
learn from Fall. Lenroot added both
he and Hays agreed Fall should
be required to testify.
Will Not Call Hoover
Hays also will be invited to COM
ment, if he desires, on statements
of former Senator Alva Adams of
Colorado that Hays invited sub
sequent chairman Of the committee,
the late Senator Ladd, to take an
automobile ride around Washington
to discuss the case.
Walsh said no effort would be
made to summon Secretary of Com
merce Hoover because of testimony
of Birch Helms, Texas oil man, that
Hoover and others in President
Harding's cabinet we're informed in
1922 that Fall was keeping secret
the Teapot Dome lease. Helms said
Hoover was the only member of the
cabinet who gave his protests any
consideration. He expressed opinion
that Hoover did all he could in the
matter.
Harry M. Blair and Claudius
Huston, New York Republicans, will
be called next week. They helped
raise Republican funds to pay off
the 1920 campaign deficit.

Hainisch, Shelved by

VIENNA, Dec. 10.-Dr. Michael
Hainisch feels a little sore because
he has been left in the cold and
Chancellor Seipel saw it fit to place
someone closer to his clerical reac-
ton in the presidency of Austria.
Wilhelm Miklas, member of
SeipePs clerical party and one who
would offer full support to the re-
dictionary regime has been placed in
the presidency with more power
than Hainisch ever enjoyed.
1t must not, however, be supposed
that Hainisch was at all an enemy
Of the Seipel regime and its fascist
allies. He even enjoyed the sup
port of the social-democrats pre-
vious to the elections. Some of his
wrath can be traced to this source,
since the Socialists" gave him the
cold shoulder to vote for one of
their own reliables and he was left
in the back yard by Seipel for a
stronger political ally.

CROAT TAKERS
SHUN STRUGGLE
Fear Masses May Gust
Them as Well as Serbs

VIENNA, Austria, Dec. 10.-Dis-
patches from Zagreb, Croatia, point
to increasing tension between the
political leaders of the Croatian ma
tionalist parties and the Belgrade
government.
Politicians Fear Masses.
The Croatian nationalist leaders
believe that they can force the Ser
bian government to withdraw the
Koroshetz government, which is OPP
posing nationalist activities with an
iron hand, by daily taking a more
insubordinate stand against his re-
gime in the local councils. In this
way they lope to attain their own
political ends, which include control
of the local government, without
drawing the peasant and working
masses into the active struggle.
They admit that the peasants and
workers are aroused and they fear
that an open nationalist struggle
might lead to an open outbreak of
the peasants and workers and the
overthrow of their own political
power as we'll as the Serbs.
This makes them calculate every
move they make and causes them
to refuse to lead the open outbreaks
of workers and peasants against the
Serbian government police. Such
spontaneous outbreaks have already
occurred during the course of the
struggle.
Observers in Zagreb point out
that the Koroshetz government is
rot very likely to fall, and that
Koroshetz is acting with high
hand because he feels he has the
support of the majority of the bour-
geois members of the parliament
with him.
Parliamentary Moves.
The Zagreb district council yes
terday voted to refuse General
Maximovitch, who has been dis
cussed as successor to Koroshetz,
to sit in their council.
Koroshetz Immediately replied
with an order for the drafting of a
new law which will dissolve all
councils which are reported to be
resisting the state.
From which it is clear, the Croa-
tan Communist leaders are point
ing out to the masses, that the gov
eminent of Maximovitch will be
just as oppressive as that of .Koro-
shetz. They say that the belief,
which the Croatian politicians have
been spreading, that the Maxine
witch government will be better for
the Croatians, are illusions.
