EUROPEAN IDEA
SEEN IN MOVES
BY HOOVER
"CoaIition" Management Of
Plans to End Troubles Puts
Democrats in a "Hot Spot"
By WILLIAM c. MURPHY, JR.

BY WILLIAM C. MURPHY, JR.
An American counterpart to
the coalition governments now
ruling the principal nations of
Europe Is seen here as an oblec.
tive Of recent steps taken by
President Hoover.
It is no secret that the Presi.
dent hopes to induce Republican
and Democratic leaders in Con.
greSS to argee to a practical sus-
pension Of politics during the
coming session in order to clear
the way for measures deemed
necessary to bring the country
out Of its economic tailspin.
Mr.. Hoover'S action in summon.
ing influential Democrats as well
as Republicans to his White
House conference last night is
only the latest Of the series of
steps he has taken in that di.
rection.
Democrats Cooperate
Before he proclaimed his one.
year war debtS-reparations mora
torium last June, the President
took the trouble to obtain ap.
proval Of leaders Of both parties
as well as many other members
OF Congress.
Since that time he has had
numerous conferences with men
high In the councils Of the Demo.
cratic Party as well as with Re.
publicanS. When he set up his
new organization for unempIoy.
ment relief, places were made for
such men as Newton d. Baker
and Owen ID. Young, both con.
Sidered potential Democratic can.
didates for the Presidency next
year.
The Democrats, so far, have
manifested a disposition to co.
operate with the Administration.
In fact, they took the initiative
on one notable occasion just
after the 1880 elections.
That Harmony" Manifesto
That was in the issuance of
the famous harmony" mani.
feSto signed by Senator Robinson
of Arkansas, Representative Gar
ner Of Texas, minority leaders in
the two houses: Chairman John
j. Raskob, Of the Democratic
national committee; Alfred E.
Smith, James M. Cox, and John
w. Davis, former Democratic
Presidential candidates.
In the background of such ef-
forts as the Administration is
now making, there is believed to
be feeling that the conservative
elements of both parties should
act In unison to check the flood
Of SO-called radical demands which
are expected as soon as Congress
meets.
This factor, it has been indi.
Gated, is responsible to a large
degree for such cooperation as
Mr.. Hoover has received so far
from the Democrats.
That others are aware Of this
situation was indicated some
months ago when Senator Brook
hart (R0 Of Iowa, declared there
was q bipartisan wall Street"
coalition operating in Congress
on economic issues.
The imminence Of the presi.
Dental campaign makes it all
the more difficult for Mr.. Hoover
to carry out his project Of b.
partisan action, o project which
has never met with success in the
United States over any pro-
longed period.

suit. He spends lavishly ON
friends and acquaintance, she
asserts, but has failed properly
to provide for his wife and chill

husband bought a jewel, in 1881,
the value Of which is variouSly
estimated from $4,000 to $S5, 900,
which 1t is alleged he gave to
another woman.
Stable Seizure Cited
Mr.. McLean's racing stable at
Saratoga, N. r, was fOrecIOsed
recently to secure payment ON
the gem, she sets out In her 1iIl.
. Furthermore, MIR. Mclean con-
sented to the issuance Of a main
tenance decree, November Z, 1880,
under which Mrs. Mclean was to
receive $500 monthly for the
support Of herself and children,
it is alleged.
Immediately after consenting to
the decree Mclean instituted di-
vorce proceedings against her in
the state Of Morelos, Mexico, the
eStranged wife says, in an effort
to defeat the purposes Of the
court order here.
The plaintiff, in her petition,
asserts that a permanent injunc-
ton restraining her husband from
