Members Face 35 Elections
In Fall and Are in Bad Mood
For Extra Session on Treaty
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

President Hoover appeared
headed today for another spec
tacular run-in with the Senate.
Almost open revolt was brewing
in the upper chamber over the
Presidents insistence that the
London naval treaty be acted
upon before the Senate quits for
the summer. Even the Republi-
can regulars are growing about
it. for they enVision staying in the
Capital during a hot July while
their political opponents at home
cultivate the political fiel d S
against the November election.
Senator Watson (RD of In
diana, the majority leader. and
Senator Moses (R.) of New Hamp-
shire, the president pro tenn. both
have counSelled Mr.. Hoover to let
the treaty go over until fall. They
suggested that a special session
could be called in midNovember
which would permit the treaty to
be disposed Of without encroach-
ing upon the regular session
which begins in December.
Refuses Advice
To this advice, the President
turned a deaf ear. Unless the
Senate acts at the present session.
he informed them, he purposes to
call a special session to begin i'm
mediately and, if possible, to holo
it in session until it acts on the
treaty. Mr.. Hoover does not want
the treaty dragged into the sena,
torial campaigns and made an
issue.
His Senatorial advisers have
warned him, however, that in the
present temper Of the Senate,
somewhat frayed after almost 18
months continuous battling, there
is no assurance that the Senate
will stay in session, special session
or no special session. and the
White House wishes to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
Under the law, of course. the
Senate would have to convene in
response to the call of the Execu-
1--WE, Dut once IN session Lnere
would be nothing except respect
for the Presidential wishes to pre-.
vent the members from declaring
recess until November and going
home.
Face 35 Elections
! This is exactly what the leaders
fear may happen, particularly if
the opposition to the treaty de-
velops formidable proportions.
There are 35 Senatorial elec.
tions this fall. Many of these
Senators are still to run the
gauntlet of nominating primaries
or State conventions, to say moth
ing of the elections to follow in
November. They contend they
have been on the job in Wash
ington for almost a year and a
half continuously, and that they
must have time to put their
