year against Senator Simmons. Senator
Simmons was opposed because he would
not support Al Smith for President.

appear probable that Senator Morrison
would oppose the appointment OF Nc
Ninch.

However, both Senator Morrison and
Mr.. McNinch come from the city of
Charlotte and are members Of the bar
association OF that city. It has been
reported to the Senate committee that

Gently adopted unanimously a resolu-
ton favoring confirmation Of the NC
Ninch appointment
The nomination of McNinch has been

suggested in letter to the Senate COM
mittee that Mr.. McNinch may have
been hooked up with the power com
panies in the State through their con-
tr1butions to the anti-Smith Democratic

mittee have indicated that thew would
oppose. McNinch's confirmation on the
ground that ne was not a Democrat.
altnough ne was appointed by President
hoover as one Of the minority members
OF the Power Commission. Mr.. Nc
Nincn told the committee himself that

Chances Look Bright.
Some Of the progressive Democrats
IN the Senate are expected to support
McNlnch, who apparently has con-
vlnced the progressive group In the

whatever with the power interests and
that ne has progressive leanings him
SELF. The chances for his confirma-
tion today appeared much brighter
than they did last week Even should
Senator Morrison announce his oppo-
slt1on to McNinch, the latter still Is
likely to be reported favorably by the
Senate committee.
The committee today ordered favor
able report on the nomination of DR..
the Power Commission by vote of IL to

only member voting mo" on the Smith
nomination was Senator Dill of WASH

Draper were ordered favorably reported

the nomination of Garsaud. The vote
was 13 to 4 in favor Of favorably re-
porting the nomination.
The four Senator'S who voted against
the Garsaud nomination are Brookhart
of Iowa, Howell of Nebraska, Repub-

newly. elected Senator, Huey p. Long,
who is still Governor of Louisiana.

Senate committee in opposition 10
GarSaud.
President Hoover, it appears from the
votes in the committee today is to have
his appointments to the Power Com
confirmed by the Senate. The
only possible exception may be the ap-
pointment of McNinch.
All of the nominations, it is expected,
will be considered by the Senate In
open session. Senator Couzens, chair
man Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, is likely to call them up In the
Senate as soon as opportunity presents.
