lieves the nation is overwhelmingly

real saloon is gone."
Izzy doesn't believe he will 60 back

hasn't made decision, but he Is

bition agents to be armed. In fact
he insisted, when he was raiding in
Texas, that officers who accompanied
him park their weapons at home.
Close Shave
Only once was 1zzy really face to
face with death. That happened
when he and his partner, Moe Smith,
wearing disguises OF old clothes,
strolled into a Yonkers saloon and
bought liquor. Although they did not
know 1t, the bartender had been held
up two days before.
AS soon as they had the evidence" "
they rushed behind the bar and
started for the liquor stocks. The bar
tender pulled revolver, aimed 1t and
was just ready to shoot when LEY
cried out that they were Izzy and
Moe. The bartender's finger trem-
bled on the trigger, but he hesitated
and they were able to prove they
were prohibition agents, not holdup
men.
Never had any real trouble" de-
clares Izzy. "Gave everybody a square
deal and didn't pull any rough stuff
That was my policy"

The Secretary said yesterday that

This report, which was incorrect and

suit was the creation of doubt as to

DAVIS DEFENDED
BY c. 0. ?. WORKER
Councilman From PhiIadeI-
phia Holds Campaign Ex-
penseS Not Excessive.

By the Associated Press.
The move to unseat Senator Davis,
Republican, Pennsylvania, on grounds
of excessive campaign expenditures
brought a defense of the former Labor
Secretary yesterday from Charles B.
Hall, Philadelphia councilman and Re-
publican party worker.
Chairman Nye of the Senate Cam
paign Funds Committee has announced
he intends introducing resolution to
remove Davis. His committee, he says,
has found expenditures of around ST.
200, 900 In the primary and election
campaign Of Davis and others on the
same ticket.
Hall, in o letter to Nye, q copy Of
which was made public yesterday by
Senator Davis Office, estimated less
than 5 per cent of the expenditures
were made In Davis behalf. The ball
ance, he wrote, went for candidates for
Governor, lieutenant governor, So
members Of Congress, 2S State Sen
atOrS, $50 members of the State House
of Representatives and more than 5000
councilmen.
Hall commended the primary race be-
tween Davis and former Senator
Grundy never rose to the dignity of
contest" and the popularity of the
former was evidenced by the fact that
he ran nearly 100000" ahead of Gift
ford P1nchot, the successful guberna-
torial CANDIDATE in the election.
The writer said Senator Davis had
expressed before and after the primary
campaign a desire to keep expenditures
down and he had said he would not
stand for Doodle campaign"

GUST three members of the Federal
Power Commission, duly appointed, con-
firned by the Senate and sworn into
office for more than two weeks.
The Senate's action is pure partisan
peevishnesS, just another exhibition of
insurgent ghost dancing, allotted by the
Democrats with the hope of annoying
the administration. The lineup tells
its own story.
The action of the Senate in the case
Of the power commissioners has the
unpleasant odor of an attempt at uSur-
patton. Yet 1t need not be taken too
seriously even in that light The coali-
ton itself probably didn't expect Presi-
dent Hoover to let the Senate commit
an act of usurpation. While throw
ing bricks at the President the Senate
hoped he would save 1t from its own
folly.
In the meantime the insurgents and
their Democratic sympathizers have
had a lovely time making swashbuck-
ling speeches for home consumption and
using up five days needed for urgent
public business.
Portland Oregorian: If presidential
appointments that are legally made,
confirmed and put into effect could be
upset by the Senate at one time, why
not at another? Why would not the
oCAdtS nave dlAS CAup Oh TeCOnSlueTa-
ton to hold over all presidential ap-
pointees q month after confirmation,
six months or q year?
The Senate blundered by sending the
names along while there remained a
possibility that 1t would change its
mind; no wit asks the President to do
something he cannot legally do, for
the sake OF righting its own mistake.
Yet II the commissioners had not ac-
tually gone into ONCE, the movement
TO GUST them would not have started.
Birmingham News-Age-HeraId:
The Presidents statement on the
matter gives the Senate as well deserved
a dressing down as that body has ever
had at the hands of any Chief Ex-
ecutive. At the~same time, it is writ
ten in temperate terms and with scrup-
ulous regard for all the facts of the
situation. This restraint on the part
of Mr.. Hoover gives added force to his
statement. He patiently explains that
he Is advised by the Attorney General
that he could not return the nomina-
tons il he wanted to. But he goes on
to declare his resistance, quietly but
determinedly, to the Senates attempt
to encroach upon the constitutional in
dependence and authority of the Ex-
ecutive.
The Senate has been entirely in the
wrong in this affair. It's actions have
not only been spiteful but petty and
childish 1t has attempted to dictate
to the Power Commission concerning a
more or less trivial affair with which it
had nothing to do, in the first place.
1t has attempted to encroach upon the
authority of the President. It has
acted with indiscret1on and poor judg-
ment; it has acted unfairly. It was in
attitude.
