SENATE CONF IR|NS
I IN OPEN SESSION
Three Nominations by Presi-
dent Not Acted Upon,
Time Lacking.

With the Senate operating for the
first time under its new rule for open
executive sessions, the public sat in yes
terday afternoon and watched the proc
eSs by which the upper branch of Con-
greSs confirms poStmasterS and other
presidential appointees.
The new rule provides for open ses-
sionS On nominations and treaties, eX-
cept when a majority decides a closed
session should be held. None of the
appointments considered yesterday re-
quired a record vote, action being OBJ
tanned by unanimous consent.
Among the nominations confirmed
were those of Arch Coleman of Mime
apolis and John w. Philip of Dallas,
Tex, to be, respectively, First and
Fourth Assistant PostmasterS General;
Lieut. Col. Jarvis j. Balm to be a MEM
Der of the Mississippi River Commits
sion, and Ferry K. Heath of Grand
Rapids, Mich, to be Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
Others approved were Ben F. Cam
eron as United States attorney for the
southern district of Mississippi Emil S.
Helburn as collector OF internal rev.
enue at Louisville, KY, and Warren N.
Cuddy as United States attorney for
the third Alaska division.
Only three nominations of President
Hoover were not confirmed and will
therefore lapse. They were those OF
Albert L. Watson to be an additional
Federal judge of the middle Pennsyl-
vania district, James n. Tittemore to
be United States marshall for the East
ern Wisconsin district, and julius H
Hart to be Unitde States attorney fol
the second Alaska division.
Under the rules, all nominations not
anted llDon are returned to the PreSi.
dent after the Senate receSses. There
was some speculation at the Capitol
whether Mr.. Hoover, under the regula-
lions, would be permitted to give recess
appointments to Watson, Tittemore
and Hart, should he desire to do So
The nomination of Watson could not
be acted upon because the subcom-
mittee appointed to investigate him
failed to complete its work.

DETROIT GANG is SOUGHT.
Several Shots Strike Customs Patrol
BOat-Crew Uninjured.


WINDSOR, Ontario, June 20 OP.-
United States customs officials today
were seekiiiga gang Of rum runners from
East Side Detroit, whom they accuse of
attacking customs patrol boat No. 41Ol
of the downtown waterfront of Detroit
yesterday morning. Several shots struck
the prov of the patrol boat, but none
of its crew was hit.
A running fight ensued as the Gus
toms men returned the fire and started
in pursuit. The rum runners, keeping
up their fire, escaped into Canadian
waters, when the patrol boat abandoned
the chase at the international line.
"MOst Dangerous on River"
The rum boat was described as a
mahogany-colo craft with a wide
white stripe above the waterline.
This particular boat is the most
dangerous on the river" Walter S.
Detroit, said. "Once we have captured
it a lot of our troubles will be over. We
have enough men and our boats are
fast enough to do that"
assistant Secretary Lowman, at
Washington, said the firing on the
patrol boat indicated the desperate
class of men with whom the Customs
Service had to deal. He said that the
Treasury cannot send unarmed men
against such criminals and does not in
tend to disarm customs agents.)
Reports that ontario provincial po-
lice had been ordered to search all rum
boats for firearms were denied by Dis
trict Inspector Arthur Moss, who said
he had issued no such order and did
not intend to do 50.

also investigate official misconduct OF
prohibition enforcement officers and re-
port the number of mon. women and
children wounded or killed on land or
sea in enforcing prohibition.
This drew Senator Trammel. Florida,
and Caraway, Arkansas, into the heated
debate with denunciations of the ''propa-
ganda" which they said was being
spread in an effort to diScredit law en-
forcement officials.
Over in the House, Representative
Clancy, Republican, Michigan. proposed
repeal of the eighteenth amendment by
constitutional amendment, in a joint
resolution presented today in the
House. At the same time he introduced
three other measures designed to mod
ify prohibition laws and enforcement
One proposal would amend the Vol
stead law to legalize the manufacture,
sale and transportation of beverages
as much as 2.75 per cent alcohol.
Another seeks to prevent "wire-tap
ping" by making it felony when en-
ployed by Federal officials, and by
making evidence obtained in this man
ner inadmisSible in court as evidence.
The third measure would call for the
suspension of any Federal prohibition
officer when the preponderance of tes-
timony adduced from witnesses" shows
he is guilty of killing or wounding an
innocent person. The bill would make
the suspension effective until he had
proven his innocence, and would make
him employ his own counsel.
