COMMISSION PLAN
 POLITICAL ISSUE
H0oVer's Faith ill Method
 ArOuSeS Storm Of Criticism

Washington. Jan. 4 P)-Presi- dent Hoover's faith in the effective ness of the commission as an agency for settling mooted public questions gave promise today of developing q party issue for the forthcoming con- ercssional elections.
 Debate in the house on rcsolu- ton to carry out the presidents re- quest for authority 10 appoint com- mission on conservation and admin istration of the public domain show ed the democrats almost solidly op- posed 10 further extension of the commission system and republicans unanimously for it.
 Measure Likely to Pass
 Members of both sides of the house used the public lands resolu- tion as an excuse for exhaustive dis cussion Of the commission system although a test vote yesterday on the rule 10 take it up indicated the meas ure would be passed by comforta- ] Dle margin. The vote was 2O5 to 11S. Republican speakers, led by Rep resentative Fort of New Jersey, close friend and political adviser of Mr. Hoover, contended the compleXity of public problems and the ever-in- croasing duties of officials, both ad- ministrative and legislative, have made it necessary 10 rely upon spe- cial commissions for fact-fnding in- Ncstigations.
 Democrats, following Representa- i tive Garner of Texas. their floor leader, and Representative Bank head Of Alabama, insisted the prcsi- dents commissions arc cncroaching upon the duties and rights of con- 1 gross. Regularly constituted com mittces of the house and senate, they contend, should be doing the work l now being performed by several Hoover commissions.
 1 Garner. however, denied the i ch0rg" of Representative Cramton, l rcpublic"r, Michigan. that democra : tic leaders are undertaking to make i a political issues Of the commission ] system.
 Leaders Decline to Debate i The Big Three" of the house. 1 Speaker LongWorth, Republican l Leader Tilson and Chairman Shell oi the rules committee. who recently refused the presidents request for q joint congressional committee to handle prohibition legislation. re- fused to be drawn into the debate although the democrats invited com mitments from them.
 This great triumviratc was ap. plauded by the house and by the country when it took a stand against further commissions, BankheaL said.
 "But now it's members have back cd down from the fine position the, took. They marched up the hill only to beat a gallant retreat"
 The commission issue is expect ec to have it's day in the senate wher debate starts on the presidents re. quest for commission to study con. ditions in Haiti. The house adopted over the opposition of a. w'demo crats resolution to authorize ap pointmcnt of this commission by tn, senate foreign relations committee held it up.

choice Of q doubles representative

Mangin, who will probably be
