la Guardia Declares Hoover
Enforcement Commission
Decision Illegal.
BY the Associated Press.

6y the ASSOCIATED Press.
President Hoover's decision TO use
private funds for the Law Enforcement
Commissions investigation was attacked
as Illegal in the House yesterday while
plan was being formulated to restore
$250,000 item to the deficiency bill
tomorrow for the continuation of the
work.
Representative La Guardia, Republic
an, New York, on whose point Of order
the item for expenses of the commission
during the next fiscal year was stricken
in the House. charged that the law pro-
hibited acceptance of private funds for
the operation Of q Government agency.
Almost at the same time Represent
alive Mead, Democrat, New York, in
PRODUCED a resolution to require the
President or Chairman George w.
Wickersham of the commission to re-
port to the clerk of the House the
amount of contributions and their con-
tributorS.
In the meantime, the House and Sen
ate conferees, considering the second
deficiency bill, calling for an outlay of
$4,000, 900 to cover contingencies In
Government departments, deferred &C.
ton until tomorrow The measure in
cludes the $4,000 placed in the bill by
the Senate for study of prohibition,
instead of the general survey of law
enforcement which the President
wishes.
Seek TO Broaden Study.
Representative Tilson OF Connecticut,
the Republican leader, announced to
the House that before considering the
conference report it would be possible
for it to appropriate the $250,00o recon-
meEded by Mr.. Hoover, but that the
fund could not be raised by the con-
fereeS above the $4,000 allowed by the
Senate
While the administration leaders
were reluctant to discuss their plans, it
was learned efforts also were to be
made by dry leaders to broaden the
scope of inquiry to all law enforcement
instead of only prohibition.
In questioning the right Of the Presi-
dent to have the investigation made
with private funds. La Guardia said
that If the President made the state
ment that he would take that course,
then he knows more about engineer
ing than he knows about the law OF
the land, and would most respectfully
suggest to President Hoover that be-
fore he makes any statement or any
plans about using or asking for pri-
vate funds to finance a public commits.
