more than quarter of century and
the one to which he retired to spend

Preston, now Senate librarian. recalled
his habit, as Senator. of cupping his
hand behind an ear, the better to hear

up to the galleries once ne began speak

The tale was told about the time
former Senator Hef1in of Alabama COM
planned that an airplane had inter-
rupted his remarks at public gather

why should anybody quarrel with q

ton with a Senator making noise?'
John Sharp drawled. They are both
equally noisy and, between the two

JUDICIARY LEADER
FOR RESUBM|SS|ON
Chairman Summers of House
Committee Changes Posi-.
tion on Dry Act.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Submission of the prohibition issue
to the people during the next session
Of Congress is favored by Chairman
Summers Of the House judiciary Com
mittee.
The Texas Democrat, long a prohibi-
ton supporter. announced his position
in a statement issued last night. At
the last session the committee he heads
voted down proposed home-rule
amendment to the eighteenth amend
ment
Summers said:
Regardless Of attitude toward the
liquor question, the position of the
major political parties and the other
indications of public attitude and pur-
pose. establish that it is fact that the
resubmission of the eighteenth amend
ment, as it is usually stated, is a fore
gone conclusion.
Quite probably that issue will be
submitted during the next session of
Congress.
1T is my purpose to favor such sub
mission. The question is ripe The
national campaign will be over and It
would seem as good time as any to get
this question back to the people for the
expression of their attitude and judg-
ment with reference to it."
Legislation calling for resubmission
would be formulated by Summers COM
mittee. During the last session the COM
mittee reported unfavorably the Beck
Linthicum amendment. but it was
brought out on the floor for a vote by
means Of petition signed by 145 mem
bers Of the House. It later failed of
adoption.

ECONOMY
METHODS SCORED
House Committee to Protest
to President on Substi-
tute Workers.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A House post Office subcommittee was
designated today to protest to Presi-
dent Hoover over the way the economy
act is being administered in the Post
ONCE Department
Representatives Mead, Democrat, of
New York; Kelly and Kendall, Repub-
licans of Pennsylvania, and Burch,
Democrat. Virginia, will present the
protest tomorrow.
The decision was made at an eXecu-
tive meeting of the House post office
subcommittee investigating the postal
service.
Chairman Mead said I'VE will call on
the President to explain that First As
sistant Postmaster General Coleman is
not administering the law with regard
to employment of substitute postal en-
ployes under the economy act
I'VE will explain that the Post Office
Department can keep well within the
appropriations and at the same time ad-
minister the economy law in humar/
tartan way and in keeping with the
intent of Congress.
Further Saving Suggestion.
IL IL Is IOuIlQ llldG dIly lul SdN-
ing is required, we will suggest to the
President that he let the Postmaster
General apply the same rate of reduc-
tions to the subsidies and the post office
leases, some of which are notoriously
corrupt.
THE committee feels that those in
terests including air mail and ship op-
! orators receiving subsidies and those
having post Office leasing contracts
should take a commensurate reduction
along with the decline in prices gen.
orally"
The committee favors a return to
the 2-cent stamp on frst-class mail.
After its session yesterday afternoon
| this group, a subcommittee Of the
House Post Office Committee, gave
among its reasons the reduced volume
of first-class mail since the 3-cent rate
went into effect as a provision OF the
| billion-d dollar tax bill intended to bal
ane the budget.
The committee also said it advocated
this step because of its desire Ito uild
up mails so as to provide more revenue
and work opportunities for the postal
employees and substitutes, who are being
deprived of employment as result OF
the decreased postal business"
Headed by Representative Mead
the committee began its probe with
Post Office Building conditions. Mead
urged dispensing with red tape" to
expedite construction to give employ
ment.
L. C. Martin, aide to Ferry K Heath
assistant Secretary of the Treasury. said
that department would push S74,000,000
of buildings under the relief act, but
had to start 200 projects of its regular
program during the next few months.
Relief Law Program.
Martin said the architects Office is
working overtime to handle the relief
law program, and James A. Wetmore
supervising architect, added that so per
cent of the architectural work is being
allotted private concerns for greater
speed.
Mead contended, in discussing postal
employment, that the departments ad-
ministration of the economy law, in
stead of giving 10000 men work under
the furlough plan, is driving 10000
substitutes in the service to starvation. VI
