Enough fights and Investigations.
actual and potential, are on the
calendar to keep Congress busily
engaged for ten months let alone
five. There are half a dozen moves
to investigate the Navy alone,
growing out of the 81 submarine
disaster, and the reverses suffered
by the Marines in their attempt to
pacify Nicaragua, for which there
is a disposition to hold the Navy
administration, not the Marines,
responsible.
The legislative outlook, as Con-
gress reassembled for the straight
run down the stretch into the
political conventions, Is not en-
couraging.
The difficulty lies, as usual, with
the Senate, and it is there that
most of the savage partisan fight
ing will take place. It is there.
too, that most of the Presidential
politics will be played between now
and next June when the conven-
tons force adjournment.
Thus far the Senate has not
acted upon any of the numerous
problems confronting 1t. The
House has made better record.
1t has passed a tax bill which is
disapproved by President Coolidge,
and which the Administration is
preparing to fight to amend in the
Senate. The House likewise has
passed the alien property bill,
restoring war-seized properties to
their rightful owners. But the
Senate has done little but bicker
since its assembly December s.
Here is what confronts Congress
in the next five months:
Final action on the $3.50 ,000, 900
tax reduction bill passed by the
House and opposed by the Admin
istration.
A farm relief bull, upon which
there is no unanimity of opinion.
The new billion dollar naval pro-
gram, which will arouse savage
fighting.
The disposition of the Snith.Vare
cases in the Senate.
Boulder Dam.
Muscle Shoals.
A new public buildings bill grant.
ing new Federal buildings to scores
Of cities.
The problem Of flood control.
The Walsh resolution to prose
cute an intensive investigation into
the operations of the so-called power
trust and power trust lobby.
The foregoing constitute only the
cream of the legislative calendar.
Swimming 1t off, there is to be
found below an enormous amount of
other work such as the routine APP
preparation bills. minor bills, and
the myriad things that come up
from day to day in Congress.
Leadership admittedly is at low
ebb. with the independent Repub-
lican Insurgents holding the work
ing balance of power In both houses.
President Coolidge's decision not to
again be a candidate has removed
from most Republicans, even the
regulars, the fears of White House
discipline,

OIL CHARGE LIE,
SAYS ALLEN

Henry J. Allen, publicity director
of the Republican national com
mittee, in a telegram sent last
night to former Senator II. C.
Hansbrough OF North Dakota,
branded the charges that Herbert
Hoover is financially interested In
oil lands in Mexico and Columbia
"a malicious lie.'
A copy of an address to be de-
livered at Chicago last night by
Hansbrough, in which he made
such charges against Hoover, had
been shown to Allen. Hansbrough,
formerly a Republican, is head of
an independent organization work
ing for the election of Governor
Smith to the Presidency.
Mr.. Hoover has never owned an
acre of oil concessions or had a
dollar invested directly or indirectly
in any business of any kind in the
Republic of Columbia and he does
not own a dollars worth of stock
or an acre of oil lands or any other
property In the Republic of Mexico.

to the inevitable conclusion, reads
