Continued From First Pagel
letts Of Massachusetts, and Hastings OF
Delaware.
Senator Hastings sought delay in the
consideration of the resolution for q
week. The resolution provides that the
United States Attorney for the District
In bringing these proceedings shall be
requested to associate with counsel for
the Senate, and authorizes the expendi-
ture of 81 500 to pay such counsel for
the Senate. Senator Hastings argued
that the resolution also ought to
authorize similar expenditure for
counsel for the three Federal Power
Commissioners. His proposal, however,
was turned down.
The resolution requests" the United
states Attorney for the District to In
stitute these proceedings In the Su-
preme Court OF the District Of Column
bia. It Is not made mandatory UPON
the United States Attorney TO start
these proceedings. Senator Walsh said,
however, that he was assuming the re-
quest of the Senate, If 1t acts favoraDly
on the resolution, would be acceeded to
by the District Attorney.
However, the Attorney General, the
superior officer Of the District attorney,
has already given an opinion that the
three Federal power commissioners
whose right to hold ONCE is now chAl-
lenged have been promptly confirmed
by the Senate and appointed by the
President and that the Senate has moth
ing more to do with the matter. Under
those circumstances, 1t is possible that
the Department Of Justice may set
down on the request OF the Senate To
begin proceedings.
Others Might Act.
Senator Walsh explained that the
law under which he seeks TO have these
proceedings instituted against the COM
inissionerS provides q way in which
interested parties" may start quo war
ranto proceedings In the event request
to the District attorney is turned down
Senator Walsh said that his resolu-
ton would now have to 60 to the COM
mittee on audit and control Of the con-
tingent fund of the Senate, since 1t Il

fund for the payment Of counsel Il

Of Illinois is chairman Of the commit
tee. Senator Walsh expressed the
opinion that the committee would re-
port favorably. He hopes to get 1t be-
fore the Senate at the earliest OPP
, portunity, certainly this week.
Senator Steiwer at the committed
meeting today also sought to postpone
action on the Walsh resolution.

RELIEF BY HOOVER
/. DECLARED FAILURE
Representative Nelson Says
President Is "StrangeIy
Silent" on Two Issues.

Flat failure of President Hoover's eff
forts to lead the Nation out of depres-
sion was charged yesterday by Repre-
sentative Nelson, Democrat, Missouri,
attacking the recent speeches by Re-
publican spokesman. Nelson, In a state
ment issued through the Democratic
National Committee, said the President
Is strangely silent" on recent acts of
the Farm Board and the presidential
veto OF the Wagner unemployment bill
James L. West, publicity director of
the Republican National Committee,
was taken to task by Nelson for q re-
cent address at Sedalia, Mo, on the
Preidents endeavors to combat the de-
preston and relieve unemployment.
Describing West as the Presidents
mouthpiece," the MiSsourian added:
These efforts have not-as far as
anybody has been able to observe
helped business or prevented unemploy-
ment from increasing steadily until it
now has reached an appalling figure
unparalleled in our history"
Assailing another assertion Of West
that the depression is due to the
inevitable backwash of the Great War, !"
Nelson blamed reduction Of operating
schedules of industry on the Hawley-
Smoot tariff act, saying foreign nations
had gone elsewhere for their goods.
The backwaSh Of the Great War"
he continued, has no more to do with
this subtraction from American industry
than with the financing by the Repub
lican party of the intolerance phase of
the 1928 campaign"

VIEWS ON RELIEF

Nation Must Unite to
End Suffering.

Sy the Associated Press.
Mrs. Herbert Hoover does not grant
interviews, but her idea on the unem-
ployment emergency-war-tim ways
or peace-time needs-was voiced in the
Nubwoman, issued today, through Mrs.
gHhn F. Sippel, president OF the General
Federation OF Women's Clubs.
Mrs. Sippel set down thoughts oc-
curing in talking with Mrs. Hoover the
other day on economic conditions
throughout the world"
She made the conference in the
White House the basis for an appeal
TO clubwomen mot only to do our
share in the present crisis, but to be
more ready to meet peace-time emer-
gencies."
Knows Problems Well.
The article was given point here by
WaShingtons knowledge of Mrs. Hoo
Vers intimate acquaintance both with
the public welfare machinery of the
World War and with the present unem-
ployment situation.
Mrs. Hoover was in the thick of
things when the Herbert Hoover food
conservation ideas went from Washing
ton into every part of the country
through the work Of volunteer groups.
She. 1t Is who now receives the Ma
tons tales of woe. In a peculiar way
the problems of the American people
are ever poured upon the Presidents
wife, perhaps because she is often pic
tured in the role Of Lady Bountiful.
Mrs. Sippel pictured Mrs. Hoover's
Idea on relief as follows:
An America more keenly alert to
the needs of the people in our COM
munities"
Organized social groups marShaling
forces to meet emergencies which may
arise during the coming months in an
EFFORT to prevent want from lack of en-
ployment or from other causes, Just as
we met emergencies in the years of the
war"
Points TO Responsibilities.
'ThoSe in distress relieved by which,
ever group-visiting nurses playground
association, family service societies,
parent teacher associations, etc-is
there to help them.
only responsibility for the coming sea-
son of distress, but responsibility for re-
lieving suffering year after year"
The article pointed out that many
people do not know how to reach out
for assistance to societies organized to
help them. The example cited was the
organizations for prevention and con-
troll of tuberculoSis-a subject close to
Mrs. Hoover's heart, her own son hav-
ing benefited by prompt treatment. 1t
was urged that those who need it be
put in touch with trained workers who
recognize the signs Of that dread dis
ease before it has often a real grip"
BY such community cooperation. the
article said, I'VE could help largely to
prevent the circumstances of having in
our midst undernourished children.
girls and boys who could not go to
school for lack of clothing, old men and
women in need"
To the women of the land the Mrs.
Hoover-Sippel conversation put the
question: while the financial stress in
such times seems overwhelming, would
not the humanizing touch of those in
terested help in keeping up the morale?"
