equipped with a smoke screen, was
found abandoned at Eighteenth and
Newton streets northeast shortly after

ownership by the engine number of
the car. Maryland and Virginia license
records will be searched in hopes of es-

by the Senate yesterday without rec

Senator Wheeler voiced objection to
relations between Commissioner Charles
NICK. Saltzman of Iowa and Lawrence
Richey, one of President Hoover's sec
retaries, in the employment of Thad
Brown of Ohio as chief counsel for the

in the way of confirmation Of Saltz-
man for a six-year term.
Senator Couzens, Republican, Michi-
gan, denied a charge that deal" had
been made to assure denomination OF
Commissioners Robinson and Sykes, but

dent Hoover that the commission be
allowed to stand as it was in view Ct ru-
morS that power companies were "out
to get" the two commissioners.
President Hoover did not promise to
reappoint any Of them, explained Cou-
zenS, adding, "In fact, I've been unsuc-
cessful getting any satisfactory enSwerS
to questions. He always leaves me hang
ing in the air.
Norris Lands Two Members.
Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska,
at this point said any one who had
been instrumental in inducing the Pres
ident to reappoint Robinson and Sykes
had done a public service" These
two have stood throughout the COM
missions history against turning over
the air" to corporations, he added.
Attacking Richey in connection with
the appointment of Brown, Wheeler
warned: "I want to serve notice now
that unless the commission stops TAX
ing dictation from Lawrence Richey,
Wen have an investigation, and it
won't be to the liking of Lawrence
Richey."
