SENATORS IMMUNE

In recent Washington news letter Wm. L. Daley ot the National Editorial Association the violence with which presidential nominees for appoint i've offices frequently attacked by Senators who op- pose their confirmation, and says Senators are i'm mune from civil damages for their comments in the Senate regardless of how far it approaches blackguard ism"
 In other words Senator may make the most reck- less and untruthfu statements concerning anyone with out being held to account matter how much these utterances may unJusty reflect upon and njure the persons attacked
 The wholesale immunity which legislators enjoy works a grave injustice to many honorable citizens And unfortunately 1t appears that of the politi cans who make speciality of reckless talk find no diff fcuty in securing reelection.

IOWA students
RAISE RUMP Us

IOWA CITY, Iowa, May q u.N.SJ
Quiet reigned on the University OF
Iowa campus today, although the
fires of student rebellion against
Paul E. Betting, ousted director OF
athletics, still smouldered.
Last night a mob OF ESQ bent on
rotten -egging DIR. Betting. whose
policies it blamed for Iowa's ousting
from big ten competition. was dis
persed by Track Coach George
Bresnahan and Ed II. Lauer, new
athletic director.
Bresnahan sent the students home
''to their studies"
A police guard remained stationed
at the Betting home. Mrs. Betting
appealed to the authorities for pro-
lection last night when students be-
gan gathering in front of the
former directors residence.
Betting, in a long statement laid
the responsibility for the confer
ence's action directly at the door
of DIR. Walter A. Jessup, president
of the university.
President Jessup, after reading
Belting's statement, declared he was
mot interested in it,
students assembled on the grounds
of old capitol building, once Iowa $
State house but now the administra.
ton building OF the university, and
marched from there to President
Jessup's home. They carried ban
ners bearing such inscriptions as
go to college at profit, 'Subsi-
died athletes.''
The president told the crowd the
athletic council and university Off
cials would "act as rapidly as pos
sible in finding out just what the
conference charges were"
"As understand it," he said, I'VE
are not out OF the conference. The
officials merely used one of their
devices when they refused to sched-
ule athletic contests with Iowa after

lTSTPATION SPLIT OVER EXCLUDING ALIENS FROM CENSUS
WIFE
BETTER, SAYS
SURGEON

BRIONI, May 27 (LN.S.).-
A feeling Of relief spread over
this little island today as Mrs.
James j. Tunney, heiress bride
of the retired heavyweight
boxing champion, continued to
improve from the effects Of an
operation for abdominal abb
scess undergone almost
month ago.
Mrs. Tunney has now almost re.
covered from. the relapse suffered
earlier in the week, and which
caused her husband considerable
anxiety, and she is believed to Do
approaching convalescence rapidly.
Relieve Tension
Tension has been greatly relieved
by the examination Of Mrs. Tunney
by Prof. A. W. Meyer. the Berlin
specialist, who performed the opera
ton on April 80.
Prof. Meyer returned to Brionl
Saturday at Tunney's request, nav
ing left Berlin too soon TO receive
a second message, III which JAo
fighter stated that improvement had
been noted in the patients condition
and that DIR. Meyer would not be
needed.
At the conclusion of the examira-
ton, DIR. Meyer made the following
statement:
Condition Good
"The condition of the patient is
more favorable than it was at the
time of my last examination before
leaving Brioni three weeks ago.
"The relapse, from which she has
almost completely recovered, was
caused by congestion due to a cur
tailment of infiltration that has
been going on since my operation
to remove an abscess from the ap-
pendix four weeks ago.
"The patients rise in tempera-
ture is usual in these cases and 10
nothing to cause alarm. It is only
a matter of a few weeks when Mrs.
Tunney will be as well and sound
as ever"

RATES To CURB

That's the Interpretation officials
placed today on the boards refusal
to authorize the increased rate to
it's member banks in New York,
Chicago, and Boston. In the alb
sence of explanation, it was in
dicated one branch intends to con-
tinue a tight grip on the specuia'
tive credit situation.
Should the spectators fail to
heed the boards literal "word to the
wise" they will be taken into the
'swoodshed" and spanked" with
the 1 per cent increase in Federal
Reserve rates. 1t was believed in
some quarters the board plans to
threaten the market with the hlgher
rate.
Plenty Of Money
Several of the banks of the reserve
system meet this week, including
those at New York and Chicago,
and It was anticipated here that they
might renew their applications for
increased rates.
No official would disclose whether
the policy of maintaining five per-
cent rate, continued through last
week, was a permanent attitude OF
the board.
Reports issued by the board to-
dav showed continuation of the use
of vast sums of money for develop
ment of a record expansion of manu-
featuring and ing activities.
Large sums also were going into
agricultural loans through April and
tha first half of May. That situation
was regarded as a potential deterrent
to rate increases until the seasonally
less active commercial period of mid
summer, barring really critical credit
conditions.
The brokers loan situatio no
doubt also will be considered by
the board in relation to any change
of policy, Last week these loans
fell off $45 900, 900: marking a drop
Of we'll over $500, 100000 since
March 20. This resulted from un-
certainties in the market, and the
fear that the rediscount rates
might be increased. as we'll as the
removal within 80 days of about
81 900 900, 900 from the market to

UndoubtedIHs this uncertain situa.
ton will be4faced by spectators
during the coming week. since in
some financial quarters it was con-
sidered more likely that the board
would authorize higher rates this
week than last.
II another drop in brokers loans
is shown for the week ending May
20 many felt that the board would
regard the crisis as temporarily
passed and would not feel called
upon to boost rates and thus en-.
danger the credit position OF com.
merce and industry.

The mountain folk differ from the

VI. FARMER HITS
TARIFF. BILL

HARRISONBURG. Va, May 81.
Asserting that the pending tariff bill
in Congress will further depress
agriculture. F. Holsinger, president
of the Virginia State Farm Bureau
Federation, in a telegram seht to
Senators Swanson and Glass and the
10 Virginia Representatives, pro-
tests against the proposed import in.
creases on manufactured products.
Mr.. Holsinger, in his telegram,
says, in part:
Tariffs on industrial products in
the act now in effect average APP
proximately AZ per cent. In the new
bill they average AZ per cent. The
increase is approximately 5 per cent.
1.-The purpose of the present extra
session is farm relief, in part
through tariff readjustment. We
presume it would give agriculture
more, /; nd il any change in industry
it would be less. Industry has
proved it's ability to use tariffs to
raise its prices; agriculture has not.
Unless our information is wrong the
proposed tariff legislation will
further depress agriculture, very un-
fortunately"

by Int irrational News Service
The Senate s battle over re
apportioning the House of
Representatives revolved today
around a proposal to exclude
all aliens from the next census.
The proposal would slash the
congressional representation of all
large cities and many of the Great
Lakes and North Atlantic States.
1t would increase the number oil
congressional seats apportioned to
rural communities and to the
Southern and farm belt States.
Parties Are Split
Administrf ton forces were di-
vided upon the proposition, as
were the Democrats. Senator
Sackett (2.). of Kentucky, a strong
Hoover follower, sponsored the
amendment and 1t had warm sup.
porter in Senator Black I'D OF
Alabama. The Hoover Senators
from Down East meanwhile
joined with Senator Walsh DJ OF
Montana in denouncing the amend
ment.
With the alien question settled
the next skirnish will come over
the award of extraordinary powers
to President Hoover. A new plan'
already approved by the Senate on
a test vote, will give the PresloenI
power to automatically reapportioh
the House of Representatives after
each census If Congress talls 10
act.
An ef..c~t to strike out this au-
fhority was defeated, 38 to 40, ana
another attempt to limit it to the
coming census was defeated, Al to
AZ Roth propositions will be voted
upon by the Senate again.
Loses and Gains
The measure, as 1t now STANDS
will authorize a national census TO
start at once and to be finished
within three years. The results
will be used to reapportlon the
House of Representatives. II the
new census shows the same trend
of population from the farms to the
cities as did the last one in 1870
and the same increases in large in
dustrial cities, % States will find
their representation in Congress
changed. California and Michigan
will be the biggest gamers.
The alien controversy has raised
a pretty constitutional question.
Senator Walsh charged the whole
provision violated the Constitution,
since that historic document au-
thorized a census to be taken of
"all persons" he declared.
