HOOVER EXPECTED ID ENTER FIGHT
NorriS-LucaS Controversy Is Swinging Toward White House

Washington, Dec. 24 P - The Norris-Lucas conflict swung towards the White House today, with specu- lation on how soon President Hoover would take a hand.
 Senator Norris, the republican in- dependent from Nebraska whose custer from party ranks is sought by Robert H. Lucas, executive director of the republican national commit tee, turned his latest attack direct ly on the chief executive, question: ing his republicanism.
 Senator Watson of Indiana, the republican leader, asserted the issue of Norris regularity was not now before the senate. AS for retaining Lucas, whose participation in an at tempt to defeat Norris in the last election has just been uncovered, Watson said that was up to the president.
 Promises Support
 "If he wants to keep Lucas I will support him to the limit" he added.
 These statements came after Representative Wood of Indiana, chairman of the reublican congress sional committee, announced yester- day from the White House steps he was supporting Lucas, and denounc- ed Norris as a "consummate dema- goguc."
 Senator Borah of Idaho. also a republican Independent. aligned h tho words: Let them get out-those who have disgraced the party"
 The republican director came back to the fray with another de- fense Of his secret financing Of lit- erature intended for circulation in Nebraska and other states.
 Explains Cartoon
 T undertook to make an effort to offset the hurtful effect of the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by Mr. Raskob and the Asso. citation Against the Prohibition Amendment" he said, "by using a cartoon which called attention TO the evils of the barroom and giv- ing publicity 10 Mr. Raskob's slo- gan adopted by him when he said. I am accepting the chairmansh'p of the democratic national commit tee to help Al Smith rid the coun- try of this damnable prohibition.
 This drew from Henry II. Curran, president of the i-prohibition as- sociation. q statement that in spite of a good deal of campaigning cx- perience, the secret circulation ot barroom cartoons is a new one on me"
 Wonders About Help
 q am beginning to wonder how much Lucas and Fess are helping the republican party" he observed.
 Norris in replying to Woods state- ment said he was "hghting for the republican party when Mir. Hoover himself was resident and voter of Great Britain"
 "Nlr. Wood and Mr. Lucas, even though backed up by Mr. Hoover. do not constitute the republican party. The fact that Mr. Woods makes this outburst just after talk ing with the president is another ln- dication that the president himself is wiling to lend his name 10 assist ing the conspirators in their dis reputable methors of controlling the party"
 Luc as asserted only $S50 of the S4,G00 he borrowed on a note sucur- cd by republican committee funds went toward his fight on Norris, and added that mo one else had any responsibility in the matter whatso- ever."
