A surprise was thrown into the
Investigation Of the Presidents

Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee today when Chairman
Couzens read into the record q
letter from the Hoover campaign
Committee Of New Orleans, oppos-
ing Marcel Garsaud Of that city.
It was signed by A. o. Cotton.
State manager and said:

Stand from those who know
him that he il . high class

other angles from the Govern

"Others Are More Fitted"
"Then, too, the political ref

MIR. Garsaud's name, left out
of consideration men who have
been and are an asset to the
Republican organization in this
state, men who are more fitted
for the place as member OF

siOn." -
The letter charged that Car
saud had "been identified with
Democratic factional politics"
which resulted in his dismissal
from the New Orleans Dock
Board.
Cotton said he didn't want 1t
to be construed as criticism Of
President Hoover. for II am sure
he acted in good faith on the
facts laid before him."

Echoes of Fight Heard
Echoes of the bitter anti-Smith

McNinch. Of Charlotte, appeared
before the power committee to
justify his presidential appoint

Commission.
Within moment after he sat
in the witness chair McNinch
started an answer to newspaper
attacks and defend his activity
against Alfred T.. Smith.
He declared he had voted for
Herbert Hoover for President and
asked all the men and women Of
North Carolina to do the same.
Nevertheless he thought he was
a good Democrat and appealed to

United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. pa bill
prepared by Senator James Couzens
(Rep., Mich.) will be pressed by him
at the coming session of congress
as means of solving the problem
created by the rapid growth of the
power industry and its extension
into interstate business.
CouzenS is chairman of the senate
interstate commerce committee. His
bill is supplemental to the Couzens
act recognizing the federal power
commission.
Twenty-Five years ago there was
no interstate commerce in power
Now arise problems of which the
following is an illustration:
An operating company in North
Carolina may be selling power at the
state line to company in South
Carolina, which distributes it. The
South Carolina company may be a
subsidiary.
The state commission in South
Carolina has power to regulate the
distributing company. But the
North Carolina Generating Com
pany may be selling the power at
high price, causing a consequent
high rate in resale.
The state commission can 60 no
further than to see that the South
Carolina company makes no undue
profit on the price it has to pay.
1t can not go into the books of the
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-11-28

North Carolina concern to see if its
figures are justified.
The supreme court has held that
such resales constitute operation in
interstate commerce.
The Couzens bill would give con-
gress regulatory powers over gener-
alton, transmission and distribution
and would give the federal power
commission access to ali books of
the parent concern.
Couzens also has another bill
which relates to the power question.
This measure would set up a fed
eral communications commission,
similar to the interstate commerce
commission in the railroad field, to
supervise radio, telephone and tele-
graph.

Carideo and Schwartz Give Notre Dame Half of
Mythical Observation-Disclosures of Harvard
Named at Center for Second Year.

Both are great blockers and splendid
runners with the ball. Each is q
magnificent kicker and good defensive
man. Both can pass and each is a fine
defender against this type of play.
Dodd probably has intercepted as many
forward passes as any man who ever
played. Bennett is fine field general
and a splendid offensive man.
The backs we have selected for these
teams have been outstanding all sea-
son. Pinckert, Schwartz, Russell, Brill
Mohler, Swartz, Weller, Moffatt and
Macaluso can do anything and every
thing which may be expected of play
ers in their position. Any one Of
them can run interference so well that
a ball carrier following them would
have little to do except run, but any
one Of them can take ample care of
himself If tackler looms ahead This
is one of the greatest backf1eld COL
lections that any All-America squad
ever contained.
There are many other fine payers
in the country, men Of might and speed
but we are willing TO stand by the 33
whom we have chosen for the first,

DIFFICULT TO FIND
Bears May Need to Wait fol
Right Man to Lead Them
From Grid MorasS.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

N YEW YORK, November 30.-The
M entire country is filled now
Y with eminent coaches who have
received bids to 60 to the Uni
versity of California and escort her
foot ball prestige back to those heights
which it occupied in the golden days
Of Andy Smith. At least this is the
impression one gets from the stories
one hears, directly and indirectly, from
all quarters.
Dick Hanley Of Northwestern was
named week ago as probable successor
to Nibs Price, but both he and the
athletic authorities at Berkeley made
immediate denial. But this was before
Price resigned. What has happened
since, If anything, in regard to Hanley
has not been vouchsafed.
Later news Is that Bill Roper of
Princeton has been approached. But
this Is mere rumor and not q bit
more substantial than the one the
writer heard at West Point Wednesday
that Knute Rockne had been asked to
name his price.
Waited for Warner.
As q matter Of fact, there are not
too many coaches OF great reputation
in the land who would be Immediately
available; but, for that matter, neither
was Glenn Warner when Stanford in
vited him to Palo Alto. He had to
wait two years and fill out his contract.
But he sent Andy Kerr, now of WASH
ington and Jefferson, ahead of him to
prepare the ground and Kerr made a
magnificent job of it.
So 1t Is likely that California could
get almost any coach in the country
were she willing to wait for him. And
there are two or three she could hire
without the necessity of waiting any
length of time. It Is rather an inter-
esting fact that while turning out great
players year after year, the Pacific
Slope has yet to develop genius as
companion for Babe HollingberTy of
Washington State. But this Is perhaps
because graduate players out there have
clearer idea of things than elsewhere
and the enter the marts of trade, thus
becoming useful factors in the worka-
day world.
