 tWashington Bureau, x. B Herald)
 Washington, Aug. 5-A scathing repudiation of the charge of Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut that the coalition in the last session of the senate was responsible for many of the nations economic ills, was made yesterday by Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi.
 The senator from Connecticut is reported to have declared in a speech at Bridgeport Saturday that if it had not been for the action of the democrats and progressive re- publicans against the tariff bill, i've could have avoided a large part of the present business depression"
 Lays Blame at c. o. P. Door
 The delay in the enactment of a tariff bill,' the fiery senator from Mississippi charged, Ties first at the door of the republican majority of the finance committee, of which Senator Bingham was a member" Harrison was minority member of the same committee
 The latter charges the committee with laxity in the handling of the measure and points out that the ses- sion which passed it did not meet until December ?. He said: The big crash in the stock market occurred October 24, 1929, more than a'month before the converting of the regular session, although according to Sena- tor Bingham, because of the coa- lition's attack on the bill credit be- came frightened. faith in the imme- diate future lessened, a top-heavy stock market crashed and the pres ent business depression began
 Coalitions Aim
 What the coalition was fighting" Senator Harrison continued, was the thing that MT. Bingham sought to put upon the country, and in the interest of which he introduced the Connecticut lobbyist to the finance committee as his clerk
 Senator Harrison said it was man. ifest early last March-four months ago-that the tariff bill would pass, and there has been no improvement ln the business situation yets
