CAMPAIGN FUNDS
TO Be DISCUSSED
Senator Wheeler to Deliver
Address in Radio Forum
Tomorrow.

Campaign Contributions" is to be
the subject Of an address delivered by
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat,
of Montana, in the National Radio
Forum, arranged by The Star, at
1890 pm. tomorrow. This feature is
sponsored by the Columbia Broadcasting
System and will be heard locally
through WMAL.
The Senate is about to authorize an
inquiry into campaign expenditures in
senatorial campaigns this year, Just as
1t did when it established the Reed
Slush fund committee in 1926. The
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of an investigating committee,
with 100000 at its disposal, was in
troduced by Senator Norris of Nebraska,
Progressive Republican. The inquiry in
1925 resulted in the turning back from
the Senate of Senators elected in Illinois
and in Pennsylvania on the ground that
there had been excessive expenditures
IN their campaigns and fraud.
The campaign for the election OF
Senators this year is just getting I'M
der way. The first primary was held
yesterday in Illinois. Primaries In
which senatorial candidates will be
nominated occur next month in South
Dakota, Oregon and Pennsylvania.
Senator Wheeler, a progressive Dem.
ocrat, who ran for Vice President or
! the ticket with the late Senator La Fol-
/ lette in 1924, will discuss the existing
laws relating to campaign expenditures
and those changes in the law which
have been proposed, and also cases II
| which campaign expenditures have be.
come issues in the past.

under the act, the granting of a pros
pecting permit for oil and gas is dis
cretionary with the Secretary Of the
Interior and any application may be
granted or denied either In part or in
its entirety, as the facts may be deemed
to warrant It is only recently, how
ever, that the contention has been made
that under this provision the Secretary
may refuse to grant any permits at all
while it may be that the secretary
may deny individual applications as the
facts may be deemed to warrant, his
discretion is not to be exercised arbi-
trarily and without regard to law as
is shown by the decision of the Court
of Appeals in the Alling case. That the
use of the words is authorized above
does not necessarily vest him with such
discretion as Is claimed by him is shown
by the use of the same expression in
Section 80 of the act of 1920, where
it is clearly mandatory. AS to the ef-
feet under the construction Of Rule 2,
it may be said that the secretary can
not add to his powers by any rule or
regulation made by him.
Holds Discretion Is Judicial.
I'm my opinion this act does not give
the Secretary of the Interior nor the
by the Secretary. think that the dis
erection vested in the Secretary is q
judicial omen and not an absolute one;
that the word authorized in section 10
| of the act refers to the manner OF
granting permits, the determination Of
the qualifications of the applicants and
matters Of that nature under the rules
and regulations promulgated by him,
and that the decision in the Alling case
is conclusive of this question.
1.-THE authority given to him by Con-
greSS is that he may do any and all
things necessary to carry out and &C.
complish the purpose of this act and
not to defeat the will of Congress by
Suspending its operation. Any authority,
then, for the action by the Secretary
must be found in the act of 1910. which
fixed the power of the Executive to
withdraw 2ny part of the public domain
from settlement, but as to this, it is
sufficient to say that the action Of the
Secretary does not constitute a with
drawal under that act.
"It cannot be held to be such with
| drawal for it does not appear to be for
any Of the purposes specified in the act
and the withdrawal was not reported to
Congress according to the act. In addi-
ton 1t may be said that 1t is by no
means clear that the President has au-
thoriZed the Secretary of the Interior
| to make the withdrawal. The latter
bases his authority upon newspaper re-
port Of statement by the President
and does not set up any direct order OF
the President to himself either orally or
in writing"

williams said that the plane, as de-
signed, was intended 10 weigh 1920
pounds. Though built with private funds,
he said, the plane was constructed at
the Philadelphia Naval Aircraft Fac
tory and he relied upon the weight con-
troll department of the factory to hold
the structural weight down to the pre-
Scribed limit. He said he could net
be at the factory all the time and re-
lied upon the engineers there to check
the weight of every portion during con-
struction. He said that every time he
went to Philadelphia he inquired wheth-
er the weight specifications were beirg
followed and that up to short time
before completion he was assured that
it was slightly underweight.
AT the last moment l was informed
that it was AGO pounds overweight and
though was much disturbed, I realized
that it was too late to do anything
about it," Williams said.
The plane had been delivered at An
napolis, Md, for flight tests and he
had no facilities there for weighing it
to make his own check. There was
nothing to do but undertake flight
tests. he said. These tests convinced
him that 1t was more than $50 pounds
overweight and when the plane had
been definitely pronounced a failure
and taken back to Philadelphia it was
found that it actually was $50 pounds
overweight.
Williams said that he had applied to
the Navy to carry the plane back to
Philadelphia so it could be weighed, but
finally had to take it back himself on
municipal tugboat from Baltimore.
He said that the Navy would not take
it back even though he pulled every
string" to have this done and enlisted
the support of such men as Senator
Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, and
Senator Frederick Hale of Maine.

Those holding this view pointed to

that Frances inSistence on a naval ton

ence with its first real crisis, and one
which might have eliminated France
from any naval treaty, even if there
had been no Franco-Italian problem to
bring further complications.
One Point Remains.
Meanwhile one point was said today
to have remained outside agreement
in the context of three-power treaty,
which Col. Stimson, Mr.. WakatSuki and
Mr. Macdonald virtually completed
yesterday. That was the japanese wish
to transfer 10000 destroyer tons to
submarine classification. Mr.. WakatSukt
was not insistent and the matter will
be discussed further today.
An important step was taken with
approval by the first committee Of the
conference of the agreement on human
iZation Of submarines. The agreement
states:
THE following are accepted as es-
tablished rules Of international law:
cd In their action with regard to
merchant ships submarines must con-
form to the rule of international law TO
which surface warshipS are subject.
"(2) In particular, except in case of
persistent refusal to stop on being duly
summoned or of active resistance to
visit or search, warShips, whether sur
face vessels or submarines, may not
sink or render incapable of navigation
merchant vessel without having first
placed the passengers, crew and ships
papers in a place of safety. For this
purpose ships boats are not regarded
as places of safety unless the safety of
passengers and crew is assured in ex-
listing sea and weather conditions by
proximity of land or presence of another
vessel which is in position to take
them aboard"

rotary Of the Methodist board, by Sen
ator Copeland, Democrat, New York,
which said the Senator had been
greatly concerned for years over what
regard to be an improper activity,
the work at Washington of the Metho-
dist board In its manifest efforts to
dictate and control legislation.
81 'disapprove this" Copeland added.
THAT, as view it, is not the function
of the Methodist Church. Our tradi-
tional attitude has been one of rebellion
against ecclesiastical interference with
the state"
A reply from DR.. Wilson said the
Methodist Church had no lobby in
Washington or elsewhere.
Copeland's letter said that repre-
sentative of the Methodist board had
been to see him to ask him, "as a
Methodist" to vote for a bill before
Congress.
wilson's reply said that if the repre-
sentative spoke of coming as q
Methodist it was absurd upon its face "
THAT is the last thing in the world
that he would have said" Wilson added,
unless ne SalQ IL as a joke.
Board Denies Charge.
After reading the letter Tinkham said
the Methodist board had denied it was
lobbying organization. He then read
a definition of lobbying from Standard
Dictionary, which said a lobbyist was
"a person who solicits members of a
legislature to influence their votes"
Tinkham followed this by reading a
statement from an official publication
of the Methodist board, which said:
Fortunately, we have the location
of all locations, just opposite the Senate
wing of the Capitol. Bishop Mcdowell
said last year, of all purchases that
have ever been made for Methodism
between the two oceans, this is by all
odds the most fortunate and most

D. c. HEADS GRANT
WATER TO SUBURBS
Report FavorabIy on ZihIman
Bill for Serving Nearby
Maryland.

The District Commissioners yesterd.
reported favorably TO Congress on the
Zihlman bill providing for connection
between the watermains of the District
and those Of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission in nearby Mary
land. Two amendments to the bill
were suggested One would change the
location of the proposed connection
from the main at Forty-ninth and
Chesapeake streets to the one at
Forty-seventh and Fessenden streets.
The other would limit the peak outflow
through the connection TO 100000 gal
Ions per day.
Nothing is said in the bill about the
price to be paid by the suburban COM
mission for the water, but this 70 a
matter for negotiation and contract be-
tween the District Commissioners and
the sanitary commission. The Commits
sionerS have agreed to supply the water,
should the bill be passed, at sos per
million gallons. This amount, accord
ing to Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Hugh Dram, is calculated as the actual
cost Of the water, with additional
charges for interest on the investment
and depreciation.
Price Paid by Arlington County.
The price charged Arlington County
for its water from the Districts supply
is SIS per million gallons. That price
is dictated by the War Department,
however, since it is taken direct from
the supply system and does not pass
through the Dtstrict-owned distributor
mains.
According to the agreement between
the Commissioners and the Sanitary
Commission the Maryland commission
must pay the cost of installing the con-
nection and the meter. The service is
subject to interruption in case the Dis
trict residents should not get enough
water by reason Of the connection. The
act Of Congress passed in 1917 giving
the District general authority to sell
water to Maryland limits the amount
to be sold in any one day to 100000
gallons.
Sales Blocked by Small Supply.
None has ever been sold, largely be-
cause the District did not have a Suffi-
cient supply until the completion of
the new conduit from Great Falls re-
Gently.
Negotiations are also under way for
two further connections with the Mary
land distribution system, one at Chesa-
peake street and Western avenue, Chevy
Chase, and one at the end of Rhode
Island avenue. The price of the Chevy
Chase water is going to be considerably
higher than SOS, Capt. Dram stated
as delivery at that point requires con-
siderable pumping.

SUCCESS CLAIMED
FOR STEEL MERGER
Court Denies Injunction to
Block Counting of Dis
puted Votes.
nv the Assoclated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, April 9.-Un-
less blocked by some new court dght,
the billion-dollar merger of the Youngs-
town Sheet g. Tube Co. with the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation today became
a certainty, its proponents said.
The supposedly closing skirnish in
the bitter struggle between mary Of the
induStry's greatest captains ended In
Common Pleas Court thi; morning
when Judge C. S. Turnbaugh refused
to enjoin the voting Of block Of ST.
038 Sheet g. Tube shares for the merger
Shortly before Judge Turnbaugh's
decision was given spokesman for Cyrus
S. Eaton, leader of the anti-mergeT
group, denied that the merger had q
majority, declaring results of the vote
could not be determined until all had
been counted. He believed, however
that the merger fight hinged on Judge
Turnbaug!S decision.
Stockholders of the big Youngstown
company cast their ballots last night
The block on which Judge Turnbaugh
ruled was counted in favor OF the
merger, and Attorney l.. A. Manchester
general counsel for Sheet & Tube, said
the total vote when the count is COM
pleted would show $40 900 votes for the
merger. Only approximately 791 ,00C
were needed to approve it.
All Youngstown was in commotion as
the result of the battle based on Judge
Turnbaugh'S decision was announced
marking what proponents Of the merger
said was the most spectacular battle
of the steel industry in two decades.
Attorneys for the Eaton anti-merger
forces Immediately made plans for a
new attack on the merger deal, includ-
ing an investigation to see if any OF
the shares voted by merger forces had
been bought after the final date for
voting transfers, in deals not recorded
on the stock exchanges.

ACTION ON DRY BILL
IS HELD DOUBTFUL
Judiciary Committee Again
Unable to Reach Decision
on Proposals.
Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House judiciary committee today
again failed to reach decision on the
Hoover Law Enforcement Commission S
legislative program and the Stobbs' bill
to amend the Jones law. The commit
tee adjourned until next Wednesday.
Chairman Graham of the committee
had set today for decision on the pro-
gram, but the committee confined it's
consideration largely to the Stobbs bill,
the enactment of which has been OPP
posed by Attorney General Mitchell.
Members of the committee reported
that the group was divided on the
commissions bills as well as on the
StobbS measure. They expressed the
doubt that either would be favorably
reported to the House for action at
this session.
WickerSham Bill Imperiled.
The Wickersham measure to broaden
the powers of United States commits
sioners by enabling them to hold Jury
less trials Of casual offenders of the dry
law has been attacked by several mem
berS Of the committee on constitutional
grounds. The commission bill to au-
thorize district attorneys to charge Of
4SlAASLo Will q IL JIlCy W
accept the ruling of the commissioners
on a misdemeanor charge also has met
objection.
A third bill recommended by the
commission to authorize State officers
to seize automobiles transporting liquor
in violation of the Federal law also has
been aSsailed because of its language
which would authorize governors, State
treasurers and other officials to make
arrests of this character under the
national prohibition act.
Only one of the commissions meas
ureS, introduced by Representative
ChriStopherSon, Republican, South Da-
kota, has been approved by the COM
mittee. The bill would facilitate pad
lock proceedings by authorizing the
serving of subpoena through publica-
ton of owners of Speakeasies, night
clubs and other places selling tntoxicat-
ing liquor illegally.
Repeal Action Urged.
Representative Schafer, Republican,
Wisconsin, prepared statement for the
committee urging favorable report on
one of the resolutions before the group
calling for repeal and modification of
the eighteenth amendment.
The committee plans to hear the wet
forces rebuttal testimony on the meas
ures to repeal the eighteenth amend
ment week from Thursday, before it
considers taking action on bills. The
vets on the committee consider it
doubtful II any favorable action can be
obtained this session.

Of utilities stock" Mr.. Williams, Mr.
Hull said, is having a 100000 yacht
built at Hamburg.
ITO my mind there is a big question
as to the propriety Of approving this
merger" Mr.. Hull states. ut looks to
me as though the people are getting
only minor concessions out of the
merger, such as free transfers, improved
service and possibly reduced fares for
school children. I wouldn't want to
see the committee vote on this plan
until all members have had an oppor-
tunity to read the record of the hear
ings and to give every phase of the bill
most careful scrutiny"
On motion of Representative Lampert
of Wisconsin the committee voted to
investigate the matter further during
the next two weeks.
