FIGHTS
OVER CENSUS

BY kMbeE34GlonnA NeW@ SERVICE
Having given President Hoover
the greatest power ever conferred
upon an American executive, the
Senate today fought over q pro-
posal to exclude all aliens from the
census and population statistics
used for apportioning the House
OF Representatives.
The heart Of the new reappor-
tionment bill, which gives the
President authority to reapportion
the House after each census Il
Congress fails to act within two
years, was approved by the Senate
on q record roil.call, IS TO So. A
proposal to restrict this authority
to the 1929 census was defeated,
"a to IL.
Southern Senators led the fight
against the provision. Senator
George D.l Of Georgia charged
Congress was giving away q power
conferred upon It by the Constitu.
tional fathers after great delihera-
tons.
The battle over aliens was int
tiated by Senator Sackett R.l of
Kentucky. He sponsored an
amendment striking aliens out Of
the census. This would tend to In.
crease House delegations from
Southern and Western States, while
sharply reducing those along the
Great Lakes and North Atlantic
seaboard. It was said the amend,
ment would eliminate 100000 resi-,
dents from the population Of the
Northern and Northeastern States.

TIE SEASON FOR MERGERS
 CONTINUES OPEN

, Many observers of the business and industrial trend have ruminated ere this upon the ultimate effect of the constant stream of mergers that they read about Some have con- cluded that in the future there will be a comparatively few monster business and industrial concerns and thc majority Of the pop lation will be their employes, rarnaps this is the extreme view, and may be erroneous. Equally erroneous, how ever. has been the view that there is scarcely anything left to merge. The past week has been one of acceler- atcd mergers, rather than a slowing down.
 The Wright-Curtiss airplane mer- grr seemed to meet with consider able approval because of the vast amount of competition that has ex- isted in the young airplane indus try. But the projected merger Of three large power concerns in north orn New York state was Of a differ cnt hue. These concerns were what is commonly referred to as going concerns and prosperous, so that Governor Roosevelt at once started an inquiry to determine whether the state laws seeking 10 guard against monopolics would be nfriugod in case the merger was allowed to pro- cccd. The fact that the plans wrr, identified with the house of Morgan indicate their extent, this banking house having little time for small fry deals. .YYJE
 But there have been power
