night SESSIONS likely
TO HASTEN D. C. PROBE
SUBCOMMITTEE
QUORUM HARD
To OBTAIN

Another effort is being made
today by Senator Frederic M.
Sackett Of Kentucky to get his
subcommittee Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee together to in
augurate the long delayed investi-
CATION into conditions in the po-
lice department and District At
torney's office.
The inquiry, authorized more
than a month ago by resolution
introduced by Senator Cole A.
Blease Of South Carolina, has
thus far been baked by a series
Of circumstances which has pre-.
vented the committees assembling
on more than one occasion.
Night Sessions Likely
Should today'S attempt to hold
a meeting prove futile, it is con-
sidered likely that efforts will be
made to have the committee meet
at night. This is about the ouly
course left open so long as the
Senate continues to meet at 10
o'clock in the morning and remain
in session until o'clock at night.
OF course, the committee could
decide that 1t cannot get together
at the present time because of
the stress of other business, and
put the investigation over until
the regular session starts next
month, when the pressure would
presumably be leSsened.
Quorum Is Impossible
Senator Sackett and Senator
Blease get together every day or
two on call of the chairman, but
| thus far they haven't been able
to drag in the other Senators to
make q quorum. Senators Blaine
OF Wisconsin and Vandenberg of
Michigan are intensely interested
In the tariff, and are reluctant
to leave the floor even for a mo-
ment while it Is under discussion.
Senator Jones of Washington,
the other member of the commit
tee, is acting majority leader in
the absence of Senator Watson,
and he, too, is forced to remain
On the floor virtually all of the
| time the Senate is in session.

FURTHER STEP SEEN
FOR NAVAL SLASHES
British Observers Expect Much
From Monday Meeting of

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 27.-British political
observers gratif1ed with the improve
ment in Anglo-American relations
during the past week, tonight looked
forward hopefully to further advance
In solution OF the paramount interna-
tional problem of naval disarmament.
The rising Of parliament will enable
Premier Ramsey Macdonald to give as
much time as he has promised to fur
ther negotiations with the United
States. United States Ambassador
Hugh 8. Gibson. one of teh' most valued
agents of President Hoover in these
discussions. is again coming from his
post at Brussels to renew his confer
ences with Ambassador Charles G.
Dawes.
Well informed persons believe these
two Americans with the British pre-
mIer should record another forward
step in the negotiations during the
coming week: The British press has
not yet ceased praisine President Hoover
and Premier Macdonald for their an
nouncements of curtailment OF the
current naval construction.
There are many who optimistically
echo the words OF political writer who
said, when Mr.. Hoover said drastic
reduction and meant 1t, he began the

going hand in hand with the American
Republic to carry 1t out"

BROMLEY PLANS
TO START TODAY
Armed Guard Is Put Over
Tent of Flyer Who Will Try
to Cross Pacific.
BY the Associated Press.

DS tHc hSsONiNOrN Eicos'
TACOMA, WASH. July 27.-Lieut.
Harold Bromley returned TO Takoma
Field. from where he will start on an
attempted flight TO Toxic. Japan, and
after ordering that his ship be moved to
fueling, went to bed tonight in a Ma
tional Guard tent that had been espe-
cially prepared for him. A double
armed guard was placed over the tent.
C. W. Paxson, motor expert who has
pronounced Bromley's plane. the City
OF Tacoma, in perfect shape. declared
that Bromley will take off In the
morning, If he hasn't cross wind"
Bromley was so heavily guarded he
could not be reached. but the flyer let
1t be known through his guard that he
was ready TO go at moments notice.
He previously mad announced his take
off officially for dawn Monday.
Shortly after arrival OF Bromley at
the airport and conference between
him and airport officials and techni-
clans, the guard around the City of
Tacoma was doubled. All spectators
were ordered back beyond q line 100
feet from the plane.
At the same time automobiles were
ordered out OF the main airport in
closure, which leads directly TO the run
way.
The plane was fueled except for
topping The last top" of 100 GAL
Ions or more of gasoline, which Will fiji
the tanks to the brim. will be poured in
just before the hop.
Bromley said he asked only assur-
Ances of fair weather conditions on the
first stage of his long Night. After
reaching Dutch Harbor. ALASKA, on his
northward swing over the great Gle
route, he said his fuel load would be-
lightened enough so that his fast plane
could cope with any storm conditions
encountered.

diffculties in taking the Radical Social
lists in tow.
In the first place It is taken fo-
granted that this powerful group will
demand the portfolio OF ministry OF in
terror, which is now held by Andre Tar
dieu. The minister Of interior has i'm
portant power in regard to elections,
and With the balloting for Senators
scheduled to take place in the Fall the
Radical Socialists desire to gain what
advantages may come from having one
OF their number fill this prize position.
BRAND cannot afford TO let Tardieu go
into the opposition. so Will probably
have to provide him with another berth
OF prestige equal to that he now occu-
pies.
There is certain to be another COM
plicaticn in connection with the post of
minister of war. The Radical Socialist
desire to hold this post to carry out their
program of armament reduction. the
discrimination of plans for strengthen
ing the Eastern Notifications and re-
duced military service.
Deladier Has Ambitions.
Edouard Deladier, the most power
full crieftain OF the group. once was
minister of war, and personally has am
billions in that direction again. Should
would be faced with the ticklish ques-
ton Of what to do with the powerful
Paul Painleve, who now is minister Of
war.
There is yet another complication.
Edouard Herriot. one-time premier ana
minister of public instruction in the
Poincare government OF July, 1926. Is
a Radical Socialist Of action not on the
best terms with Deladier. If BRAND
took Deladier, he could not leave Her
riot out without dangerously alternating
the former premier'S affections. This
difficulty is still more serious. for Her
riot is used to important posts and
could not be persuaded to take a lesser
post in the cabinet now being formed.
He Is known to be eager to be taken
for the portfolio Of foreign affairs. but
that Is out Of the question, for BRAND
is known as planning to be foreign
minister As we'll as premier.
But the cabinet maker will have no
less trouble getting the right wing out
Of the cabinet than getting the left
wing In.
NJ. Maginot the present minister Of
colonies and the principal representa-
tive of right wing in the government
Just resigned, ia definitely opposed to
evacuation Of the Rhineland. There is
some thought that BRAND may replace
Maginot BY Paul Reynaud, who Is also
Of the right wing. but Is sympathetic
in the movement to evacuate the occu.
pied areas.
These are some Of the difficulties with
which BRAND will be faced in the next
70 hours. If the projected shift to the
left should fail, 1t is conceivable to
maintain government much the same
as that which resigned this morning.
Parliament probably will not be con-
vened before Thursday to take cogni-
zarlCe of BRANDS handiWork.
