BY the Associated Press
HARRISBURG, December 2l.-Mrs.
Clifford Pinchot, wife of PENNSYLVANIA S
Governor, was urged yesterday to seek
the congressional seat from the fifteenth
district, now held by Representative
Louis T. McFadden.
Representative McFadden, shorn of
his patronage powers because of his
attack on President Hoover's interna-
tinal finance policies last week told
the ToWanda Review over the telephone
from Washington that he has Just
started to fight.
Mrs Pinchot received kilograms from
Canton, Pa, residents asking her to
enter the race. She declined to dis
cuss them or her intentions. She was
defeated by Representative McFadden
in 1928.
One Of the messages said:
with McFadden discredited and
deSpised on account of his charges
against President Hoover, call on YOU
TO announce yourself at once as can
didate for Congress in the coming pri-
marieS.'
Representative McFadden told the
Review, which has supported him regu-
larly:
Il know I'm right and I'm going to
proceed" The newspaper said the Rep
resentative laughed at the assertion OF
Senator David A. Reed that the Repub-
| lican organization in PENNSYLVANIA
would defeat him at the next congress
sional election.

he thought the record would show that
the Mapes committee had not exceeded
its jurisdiction. However, when ques-
toned by Mrs. Norton as to whether
such legislation that was approved by
the House coming from the Mapcs
committee during the past Week would
not establish dangerous precedent" "
Representative Patman said, "of

My own opinion was that 1t should
have been a joint committee of House

Representative Patman let 1t be known
that personally he was far from salts

bill brought out by the Mapes Com

possible to the Federal income tax law.
