G, O,P, LEADERS
IN HOUSE ARE
CHASTENED
Trlumvirate, Long DiCtatOrs,
to Permit Vote on Shoals,
Lame Duck, and Other Bills

The iron grip q little coterle
of Republican leaders has main
tanned on the House Of Repre-
sentatives for several years will
be broken next week when the
lame-duck Congress assemblies for
it's swan song.
LEGISLATION which has never
been permitted to see the light
of day in the severely disciplined
House is to be brought out OF
dusty pigeon holes and voted
upon. The Republican old guard
has surrendered.
Four Projects TO Pass
The net result probably will be
that the Government will go into
the business Of operating the
Muscle Shoals power plant, that
the Wagner unemployment legis-
lation will be passed, that the
ShipStead anti.injunction bills
will be enacted, and perhaps the
first constitutional step will be
taken to eliminate lame duck SeS.
sions of Congress.
All of these and similar meas
ures supported for years by the
Democratic-I -Insurgent coalition in
the Senate have been blocked in
the House by the socalled big
three" on the Republican side -
Speaker Longworth, Representa-
tive Smell of New York, chairman
Of the all-powerful Rules Commit
tee, and Representative TilSon Of
Connecticut, majority leader.
The election three weeks ago
changed all that, Notwithstanding
the fact the new Congress does
not assemble for year hence.
Fear Extra Session
The leaders want to avoid an
extra session that would bring the
new Congress together next
spring. The Democrats and Re-
publicanS insurgents are in posi-
ton to force one. Consequently,
the Republican leadership has de-
decided to play BALI with the in.
surgentS in the approaching short
session.
The Norris bill for Government
operation of Muscle Shoals has
passed the Senate several times:
Each time 1t has been pocketed
by Representative Smell in the
Rules Committee on the House
side and never permitted to come
to q vote. Similarly the Wagner
and Shipstead bills and the Nor
ris amendment to abolish lame
duck sessions have been pocketed.
Now Mr.. Smell says:
Bows to Majority
'T believe that q majority Of
the House want the Govern
ment to operate Muscle Shoals
If we are going to have Gov.
ernment operation any place 1t
might as we'll be at Muscle
Shoals. It probably will cost
less there than anywhere else"

State laws.
Need An Awakening
"What we need is a more
widespread public awakening to
the failure of some local gov.
ernments to protect their citi-
Eens from murder, racketeering,
corruption and other crimes,
and the ralIying Of support to
the men of these localities who
are today making a courageous
battle to clean up these places"
Mr.. Hoover did not identity the
person whom he described as "a
hideous gangster."
Proposed Congressional legisla
ton setting the Federal Govern
ment to war on raoketeerS In
New York. Chicago and other big
cities was assailed today by
Representative Sumner CD OF
Texas, ranking Democrat of the
House judiciary Committee, which
would consider bills to this end
The statement of Mr.. Sumner
coming after Representative Smell
(R.) of New York, chairman OF
the House Rules Committee and
one. of the big three" of that
body, also derided the proposals
forecast vigorous opposition.
Job for Each State
Mr.. Sumner declared he op'
posed the proposal on the ground
that the war on racketeering is
q job for each State and city.
Opposing centra l ization OF
power, Mr.. Smell said:
"Unless civilization is in a
process of decay, racketeering
in New York, Chicago and
other cities can and will be
stopped by the people Of those
cities when they are aroused
from their lethargy.
"T am willing the Federal
Government share its reSpOusi-
bility, but oppose the Federal
Government assuming the re-
SpOnsibility of others.
Can Guard Borders
There is one thing the Fed
eral Government can do. When
the States surrendered control
over interstate com m ere e
through the Constitution they
ceased to guard their borders
rs does an independent State.
BY reason of its control over
interstate commerce the Federal
Government can guard the bOr-
