TWO TARIFF BOARD
CHOICES APPROVED
Nominations of 0'Brien and
!, 0rnburn IndorSed by
Senate Committee.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Without a record vote the Senate
Finance Committee today approved the
nominations of Robert Lincoln O'Brien
Massachusetts, Republican. and Ira M
Ornburn, Connecticut, Democrat, as
chairman and member, respectively, of
the Tariff Commission.
Considerable discussion is expected
30 take place on Ornburns appoint
n1ent on the Senate floor, although
present indications point to his con-
hrmation. The principal complaint
against him is that he was indorsed
for the post by Matthew Woll, vice
president of the American Federation
of Labor, who is regarded by the Dem
ocrats as high tariff advocate.
IndorSed BY Bingham.
= Ornburn also hiss the Endorsement of
Senator Bingham and Representative
Tilson. Connecticut Republicans. The
committee decided to report the nomi-
nation favOrably without waiting for
the list of Endorsements from the White
House which had been requested bv
Senator Costigan Democrat Colorado.
Meanwhile there were indications the
Senate is faced with a real fight next
week on the Democratic t2riff bill, ad-
versely reported yesterday by the
7
Old coalition forces composed of
Democrats and independent Pcpub-
liCanS are consolidating behind the
measure. while administration Repub-
licans are expected to provide the op-
position.
The bill passed by the House revising
the flexible provisions and calling for
an international conference to lower
trade barriers, was rewritten by Senate
Democratic leaders before the COM
ynittee acted yesterday, but this did not
diminish regular Republican opposition.
Assailed by SmoOt.
Chairman Smoot of the Finance Com
xrittee issued a statement terming the
measure a "flimsy political gesture"
To get the measure on to the floor,
Senator Harrison, the committees rank
ing Democrat, announced he would re-
frain from voting. Thus he permitted
the bill to go out with an adverse
recommendation and without a record
vote The vote would have been 10
to for an adverse report had the roll
been called.
AS rewritten by Harrison and other
committee Democrats, the bill with
draws presidential power to make rate
changes under the flexible clause and
leaves Congress the sole judge of tariff
commission recommendations.
