Against Shoals Bill.
Senator Moses Of New Hampshire
president pro tempore Of the Senate,
announced that he was unalterably OPP
posed to Government operation Of the
Muscle Shoals project. and that If that
was to be the price of avoiding a spe-
cial session, he did not intend, If he
could help 1t, to pay the price.
The relief bills are expected to take
the shape Of added appropriations for
public works, including both buildings
and roads, and Of appropriations to
supply the farmers with free seeds for
their planting the coming year.
In preparation for the receipt of the
World Court protocol by the Senate. q
meeting of the Foreign Relations Com
Ynittee will be called for Wednesday. If
the President has transmitted the pro-
tocol to the Senate by that time, it may
be laid before the committee at that
meeting, if only to determine what pro-
cedure shall be observed in connection
with 1t.
Senator Borah. chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee and also
determined opponent Of the protocol,
will press for early consideration of the
protocol by his committee, so that it
may be reported to the Senate and
brought up in that body for debate.
There were signs yesterday that ad-
Hninistration supporters and other sup
porters Of the protocol would resist ef-
forts to bring the treaty before the
Senate It would take q majority vote
to report the treaty to the Senate.
Some of the opponents of the protocol
also may cast their votes against re-
porting it to the Senate during the
short session. While the protocol, when
Il is finally pressed to vote, may com

ratification, it was learned yesterday
that the opposition has several new re-
crlits among the Senators, and that the
vote may be much closer than was at
6rst expected.
Well to Delay Action.
Senator Swanson, ranking Democrat
on the Foreign Relations Committee,
Who Is q leader of those supporting
American adherence, Is prepared 70 pro-
nose that the question be deferred py
the Senate until q year hence.
Senator Norris, q friend Of American
adherence, but . foe Of the admins
tration. said Mr. Hoover "is trying TO
shoulder the responsibility for delay
upon the Senate by sending the treaty
Ia at a time when 1t Is almost mpoS-
sible for the Senate to consider it unless
Il neglects other necessary business.
Senator Pittman, Democrat, OF Ne74
vada. q member Of the Foreign Rela-
fions Committee and @ friend OF the
court. believes 1t very risky" TO seno
the issue to the short session.
Senator FeSs, Republican, Ohio, also
an advocate of the court, was likewise
dubious over the outlook and appeared
concerned lest the court issue become
involved in procedure and the drive 70
avoid an extra session Of the SENATE.

delay IN obtaining credentials. among
the new Senator'S Is James J. DAVIS OF
PENNSYLVANIA. who Is leaving the once
81 Secretary Of Labor to become SEN
ator. The nomination Of his successor
as Secretary of Labor is expected TO be
sent to the Senate almost Immediately,
President Hoover having announced his
determination TO appoint William N.
Doak of Virginia, legislative representa-
i've OF tic k3LOtLlcIIOD0 VI GSoAAWOJ
Trainmen, to that office.
The President acted In defiance OF
the wishes of President Green OF the
American Federation Of Labor when ne
determined TO appoint Doak TO the cabi-
net, Green contending that the ONCE
should be filled by member Of the A.
r. Of L. Senators who would discuss the
appointment yesterday said that they
expected the confirmation Of Doak and
that they did not look for fight
against the nomination. Nor do they
expect that the American Federation OF
Labor viii undertake to conduct fight
against confirmation. 1t appears obvious
that Senators did not wish to become
involved in a struggle between two great
labor organizations, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the railroad
brotherhoods. Many of the progressive
Republican Senators have been actively
supported by the railroad brotherhoods
IN their campaign for election to the
Senate
Senator Metcalf, chairman Of the
Committee on Education and Labor, TO
which the Doak nomination viii be re-
ferred, Is in Bermuda on a vacation and

road legislation, waterpower legislation
and unemployment legislation are also

are contests in the of1ng, too, over ap-
pointment to the Tariff Commission
and other executive appointments.
Extra Session ProbIematicaI.
Whether, in view Of all these subjects
which may come before the House and
Senate for consideration, it will be pos
atble to avoid an extra session of the
new Congress is still problematical.
While number Of the Democrats are
frankly opposed to such q special ses-
