Lawyer Appears Before Superior Court to Ask Appointment of Clark and End Muddle Af- fecting Salaries Due From City,
Special Meeting of Con- mon Council, Suggested by Camp, Futile, Execu- tive Declares-Cites Or dinance to Strengthen Stand He Has Taken.

Mayor Paonessa went to Hartford this afternoon to set in motion legal procedure by which he hopes 10 have Bliss w. Clark established in the office Of acting comptroller by court order.
 At 1;@0 o'clock he conferred with Attorney Henry J. Calnen, the law yer who drew the order of injunc- ton by which Judge Thomas i. Molloy onjoined William H. Day from performing any of the acts of comptroller and from having access 10 the office and the records.
 It is the mayors contention that the court order eliminating Day and instruCting Clark to retain posses son of all that pertains to the posi- lion of comptroller constructiveiv set him up as the official in control hut the ruling of Assistant Corpora lion Counsel Mortimer H. Camp that there is no one in office has result ed in refusal by Treasurer Curtis Sheldon 10 accept any orders drawn oE the municipal treasury.
 State statutes provide that wri;s or injunction shall be signed by a judge of the superior court, but au- thorizes judges of the court of com- mon pleas to sign in the event 10 superior court judge can be reach ed. It was under this proiso that Judge Molloy was approached and affixed his signature last Friday. Referred 10 Superior Court
 Taking the stand that the action | is properly one to be prosecuted III the superior court, Judge Molloy has referred Attorney Calnen topJudge | Newell s. Jennings and it is before this jurist that the motion sbeins prepared this afternoon will be pre- sented. The mayor will ask either that the order Of injunction be for mally interpreted to place Clark in office or that an amendment to this end be made.
 The mayor also had under consid- eration today the appointment of l Clark under authority of the follow- ing city ordinance:-
 Sec. f. The com ptroler shall 1 give to the city bond for the faith ml performance of his duties to s,n amount fixed by ordinance. In case of the absence, inability or disability Of the comptroller. the mayor shalt apoint some person to perform the duties Of the office temporarily, until the common council shall ep- point some person to perform such duties, such person to furnish a sat- istactory bond for the faithful per- formanCe of his duties.'
 Day Unable" to Serve The mayor pointed to the court order of restraint as the basis for | inability" on the part of Day, the elected auditor, to perform the duties Of the office. This ordinance re- quires no assent on the part of the common council, permitting tn } mayor 10 act.
 With reference 10 the suggestion by Acting Corporation Counsel Camp that a special meeting of the com mon council be called to name n acting comptroller, the mayor de- clared today that such action would he futile since the injunction would

 Upon being notified of Gardincr's action, Assistant States Attorney Gaffney moved 10 dismiss the appeal and Gardiner filed a demurrer. II 1t said he quoted legal findings and citations in support Of his demurrer andand the assistant states attorney is prepared 10 go before the supreme court and argue that in view of the fact that the sentence from which the appeal was taken has actually been served, the question is a moot one.

Washington, Feb, 25 tP,- rresi- don't Hoover today reinforced his appeal to congressional leaders to keep expenditures within budget cs- inmates by calling upon the people back home" to rally to the support of the administration in it's program of economy.
 At tho same time the senate be- came cmbroled in Q discussion Of appropriations, Carter Glass of Virginia, a democrat, accused the chief executive of trying 10 blame congress for the expenditure Of funds. He argued Mr. Hoover had set up straw man and then knock ed him down.
 People Demanding Work
 The president in his remarks al the White House said that only a small Der cent of the proposals tc spend money cmanated from con- gross. making clear it was his opin- ion that such propositions original. od from groups all over the country
 MT. Hoover said many of the pro. poSals eventually should be and un. doubtedly would be undertaken ir future years but added that this was mo tune for general expansion ot public expenditures" although there were sufficient resources to mee budget needs and such neCcssitie. as marginal cases of disability among veterans and the speeding UT of public works"
 In the senate the remarks r, Glass, a former democratic sccrotar, of the treasury, drew d vigorous re ply from Senator Watson of Indiana the republican leader, in defense o the White House breakfast confer cnCe yesterday at which Mir Hoove outlined 10 congressional leaders hi iesirc 10 hold expenditures within 1 bounds outlined by the budget.

 When Watson expressed the yiey that tho attack today was aimed a the administration, Senator Glas heatedly retorted that he had "neve raised this issue as q partisan mat ter and l have never done any sucl thing"

DOUBTING THE EFFICACY
 OF FACT-FINDING

It has been stated that sooner or later federal fact-finding commits sioners will find some facts. This is not saying, however that the Hoover law enforcement commission may find any, or that it may not find too many. This pet commission of tho administration has just re-con- vened in Washington and Is expected to issue q statement on prohibition sooner or later. Manifestly, such an expression of opinion by the com- mission will have to be buttressed by facts and interpretations of facts. And after all that is done, what good will they do?
 The question is not far-fetched. In order to make an assumption tha; is aligned with a genuine possibility we can only refer to the good done by the commissions fact-finding in the past True, only one statement of findings has been issued so far, preliminary and a supplementary re- port on observance and enforcement of prohibition, which with high hopes was submitted to Congress by President Hoover on January 13. 1s30. Then what happened?
 Well, five bills in line with the Commissions recommendations were introduced at the last session of Congress, and of these only the bill transferring the prohibition bureau to the Department of Justice became law. Such consummation, how ever. can scarcely be credited to the activities of the fact-fnding con- mission as it had been a topic Of debate long before the report was made. The best that can be sad la that the report accelerated the
