topped by a conference report on
the Naval Appropriation bill, and by
the Glass market bill. Once these
measures are out of the way. the
fireworks will begin.
Three Big Fights Ahead
Three major filibusters were oiled
and creased for action. They were
aimed respectively at preventing
final action on the second deficiency
appropriation bill, the House reap
portionment bill and the confirma'
tion of Irvine L. Lenroot CR) of
Wisconsin, as a member of the U. s.
Court of Customs Appeals,
Opposition to the second deficiency
bill was provoked by the action OF
the House in eliminating the $24,'
O00, 900 prohibition fund and the pro.
vision for publicity of income tax
refunds, which the Senate had added
to the first deficiency bill.
After killing the first bill in
conference, the House placed in the
second bill all the items of the first
excepting the dry fund and the
tax provision. A determined group
in the Senate announced they would
defeat the second deficiency bill
unless these two items either were
added to it or the House rejected
both by record roll-calls.
Five Nominees to Fail.
The House reapportionment bill
has developed serious opposition
from Southern Senators. The bill
will become the unfinished bust
ness" late this afternoon. 1t prob
ably will be laid aside temporarily
however, to permit debate on the
deficiency appropriation bill. Thus
the two filibusters will run side by
side.
The opposition to Lenroot has an,
nounced that he cannot be con.
firrned at this session. The block.

Notwithstanding the expression

here today that William D. Mitchell

net He is now Solicitor General.
without committing himself as to
whether the appointment has been

democracy. if any. is only skin
deep. despite the fact he is listed
in "Who's Who" as a Democrat
and that he personally described
himself as Democrat in a recent
appearance before the Senate Indian
Affairs Committee.
How He Voted
Mr.. Hoover's aides also went TO
considerable lengths today to pre-
sent the Solicitor General as an
independent" rather than as a
member Of the opposite party.
One of them assured newspa per
inquirers that, Notwithstanding
Mitchelps personal classification of
himself, he was in a position to
state that the Solicitor General had
voted for Hughes, Coolidge and
Hoover" and that he also supported
Frank B. kellogg in his senatorial
races in Minnesota.
Meanwhile, Mitchell had nothing
to say. He has recently been rep.
resented as anxious to get out of
public service and devote himself
to private practice. Nevertheless,
the impression grew that Hoover
has found the solution of his At.
