as well as Tichenor, owner of the
magazine.
Barry was given a public trial
by the Senate in a proceeding ut
terly without precedent in its long
history. He was the first official
of either branch of Congress ever
tried by one body or the other for
attacking the integrity Of the
members.
Hailed to the bar Of the Sen
ate on motion of Senator Watson,
the Republican floor leader, he
made a brief statement, diSclaim-
ing any intent to libel Congress.
First he asserted he did not
intend to charge members Of Con-
gress with taking bribeS. Later,
in another statement, he said he
believed the charges true-that
it was only a matter Of opinion"
whether Congressman took bribeS.
Part Of Article Quoted
The portion Of the article that
aroused Congressional resentment
read:
Contrary perhaps to the
popular belief, there are mot
many crooks in Congress; that
is, out and out grafterS and
those who are willing to be
such. There are not many
Senator'S or Representatives
who will sell their votes for
money, and it Is pretty well
known who these few are"
Asked whether he believed this
statement to be true or false,
Barry replied:
That's q matter Of opinion.
/ can't prove that any man
was bribed and I can't prove
that any man was not bribed."
Later he said he believed the
article was true, but again and
again he admitted he had no
evidence to prove the charge.
At one point Senator Copeland
CD of New York, a physician,
suggested Barry be given a "con-
plete physical examination" He
said he had conferred with Sena-
tor Hatfield R.) Of West Virginia,
another physician, who agreed
Barry should undergo a physical
examination"
Senator Norris protested that
even If an examination shows
he's insane, the Senate does not
want an insane man for sergeant
alarms"

The story Sobbed out by the

She came here but did not

New Pay Cut Battle
Due in Senate Today

Demands for additional Federal
salary reductions are expected to
be resumed in the Senate today.
With debate scheduled to be re-
,newed on the Treasury-Post Office
supply bill, it is likely that pay re-
duction advocates will be afforded
an opportunity to continue their
appeals for retrenchment in pay
rolls.
The original proposal of
Senator Bratton CD of New
Mexico was to authorize heads
Of the Treasury and Post Office
departments to reduce their 1894
appropriations by 5 per cent.
The Costigan amendment would
prevent the executives from max
ing the reduction by cutting
salaries or increasing furloughs.
Senator Bingham (R) Of Con-
necticut last night demanded
that the vote on the revised Brat
ton amendment be reconSidered,
as he said the Costigan amend
ment would force dismissals in.
stead of permitting executives to
reduce salaries by cuts or fur
1oughS.

Tennesseean Goes Mississippi
Representative 800 Better
in Trim; Defeat Due

The House was put on the
spot" today as two members
braved the wrath of their col
. leagues by demanding pay cuts
and outlawing nepotism.
Representative Wilmington D)
Of Mississippi, announced that he
would offer an amendment to the
legislative appropriation bill cut
ting salaries Of Senators and
Representatives from $4,000 to
$500 a year.
:. A deeper slice in the pay
check was proposed by Repre-
sentative Mitchell CD Of TenneS
see, who urged that Congress re-
turn to the $5,000-a-year rate Of
pay which existed 10 years ago.
= AS a showdown neared on the
issue, predictions were made Of
overwhelming defeat. II there is
, any congressional pay cut, lead
ers said, it will follow the modest
reduction Of less than 2 per
cent proposed by the Senate
ECONOMY COmmlCCee.
Against NepOtism
Mitchell also planned q blow
At the practice Of putting rela-
:tives on the pay roll. He said:
f. "I will offer an amendment
outlaWing nepOtiSm and provid-
ing severe penalties for viola
tiOn. There won't be 80 much
nepOtism in the next Congress,
but about 60 per cent Of the
present membership has rela-
tives on the pay roll.
;, "ThiS is shown by the SINH
?, l&rity Of names. Some members
: exchange with others, SO that
. relative Of one member will
>. be on the pay roll Of another"
:. Wilmington declared that Con-
gress must take a cut along with
the rest Of the country. He said:
;. 'Gf we could live on $4,000
r In 1929, we can live on $500
now"
Salaries of members were re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000 un-
: der the economy act last year.
: Ridicufed by BOylan
:, Representative Boylan (D) Of
New York, a foe of pay cuts for
Government employees, ridiculed
the cut for members Of Congress.
He said:
e., "SOme members come from
small towns and their vision is

Representative Blanton O.) of

him in a crusade against the
'long haired" scientists Of the
Department Of Agriculture to save
the taxpayers money.

BU[[|TT PROBE
ASKEDOF U.s.,

The State Department was con-
fronted today with a demand
that it investigate the activities Of
william c. Bullitt abroad and
prosecute him under the Logan
act if it is determined that he
has been negotiating" with
foreign governments over settle
ments of their war debts to the
United States.
The demand was made in a
letter sent the Secretary of State
by Senator Arthur Robinson (R0
of Indiana.
Bullitt has been travelling in
Europe and is reported to have
had discussions" wit hleading
statesmen Of the debtor powers.
President-elect Franklin D.
Roosevelt has denied that Bullitt
represented him, and the Admins
tration has made similar denial
that he had any authority to
represent it.

CONGRESS SETS
RECORD FOR
FAILURE
DO -NothingeSt' Session Mired
BY BiCkering and All Supply
Bills Appear Stranded
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE II. HOLMES
Four weeks from today the
new deal" in the shape Of a
new President and a new Con-
gress, takes over Washington.
It will have plenty to do, for
the present lame-duck session Of
the 72d Congress appears headed
for its. constitutional grave with
a record of non-accomplishment
probably without parallel in the
history of the country.
The current session is more
than living up to the predictions
made for 1t that it would be the
"do-nothingest" Congress ever
convened.
Only Island Bill
Although in session for two
months, and with a holiday re-
cess cut down to almost nothing,
but one piece Of major legisla-
ton has been enacted at this
session. This was the Philippine
Independence bill, vetoed by
President Hoover and enacted
over his disapproval.
AS for the rest of the legisla-
tive program, it has become mired
down in a morass of pickering,
inaction and procrastination. Not
one Of the great supply bills has
been enacted, and today Senator
James E. Watson, Republican
leader Of the Senate, asserted his
belief that all of them could not
be passed before March 4. There
are only 23 working days left.
Democrats Mark Time
Legislative stagnation such as
Washington has seldom wit
messed prevails on both sides Of
Capitol Hill. The Senate, nomi-
nally controlled by the Repub-
licans. is split by factions and
torn with diSSention.
The House, where the Demo
Gratis have a narrow majority, is
similarly situated, although not
to so great q degree as the Sen
ate.
The Republicans, many of whom
are "lame ducks" are poWerleSS,
and the Democrats, for the most
part. appear willing to let mat
ters slide until March 4, when
they will come into full and un-
disputed control Of the legisla
tive and administrative branches.
No Harm Done
No great harm will be done, in
the Democratic view, by failure
to enact the, large appropriation
bills. The money is not necessary
for conduct of the Government
until June 30, anyway, and long
before that time they expect a
new and overwhelmingly Demo
cratic Congress to be in the sad
die, with a leadership at the
other end Of Pennsylvania Avenue
more able to exert its will than
at any time since Warren G..
Harding rode into the White
House with huge Republican ma
joritieS in both houses.
Democratic leaders who have
made pilgrimages to Warm
Springs in recent weeks returned
with the information that Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt has set upon
April II as the tentative date
for the new Congress to convene
in extraordinary session.
Session All Summer
There is some pressure for an
earlier date, in view of the lack
of accomplishment by the present
session and the urgency of many
problems.
But Mr.. Roosevelt is said to
feel that he will require at least
six weeks after March 4 to get
settled and squared away for the
tasks ahead.
The new session probably will
last most of the summer.

left the Hitler government in a
quandary.
Coincident with this rebuke,
the Socialists launched a slashing
attack upon the Hitler regime,
with one Of their chief spokes-
men predicting that the cabinet
would fall to pieces shortly.
The emergency decree signed to-
day to President Won Hindenburg
empowers the government to con-
fiScate or suppress newspapers
publishing extremist criticism and
has the effect Of placing Germany
under q modified martial law.
IN announcing the Presidents
action, the Hitler government de-
clared the decree was signed in
an attempt to prevent terrorism
and bloodshed during the forth.
coming election campaign.
The decree virtually reinstated
the drastic estate of emergency"
law promulgated by former Chan
cellor Franz von Schleicher.
Meanwhile, the NaZis struck q
snag in their attempt to dissolve
the PruSSian Diet to make way
for q new Statewide election. A
NaM dissolution motion in the
Diet precipitated a debate which
led to riotouS scenes. The speaker
adjourned the Diet for half an

commission and through his

dent Of the George Washington

Marvin Said to Be Leader
Representative Tinkham would
not deny that he has accurate
knowledge of the methods which
may have been employed by the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
vancement Of Teaching, and its
subsidiary, the Division of Educa-
tional Inquiry, in efforts to aid
in achieving what Representative
Tinkham calls the "denationalizar
ton Of the United States"
The Massachusetts, representa-
tive intimated that perhaps pres
ent efforts of Professor Jones'
Commission to enforce, under the
commissions own interpretations.
the recent athletic scholarship"
regulation constitute a smoke
screen behind which un-Amer.
ican forces are endeavoring to
b1udgeon member institutions Of
the Middle States Association
into submission to the cause Of
standardization. Representative
Tinkham also indicated many Of
the educational activities of the
country have un-American COM
pleXionS.
Has Copy Of Report
Representative Tinkham admit
ted that he Is in possession of a
report of the recent "interpreta-
ton" meeting Of Professor Jones'
commission held behind closed
doors, and that certain of Pro.
feSSor Jones' interpretations of
the commissions regulations were
suggestive of un-Amerlcan ac-
tivitieS which may be connected
with the Standardization move
ment." Said Representative Tink-
ham:
II have heard the story Of
certain remarks credited to
Prof. Jones, chief among them
his alleged explanation that the
American right Of permitting
an accused person or institu-
tiOn to face his or its accuser
in court may or may not be
granted, should one of the in
stitutiOnS be accused of viOIat-
ing the commissions regula-
tiOnS relating to sO-caIIed 'ath-
Ietic scholarships"
Representative Tinkham con-
cluded his interview with the re-
mark:
perhaps 1t would not be q
bad idea for the committee to
be appointed under my reSOlu-
ton to take a searching look
at the activities of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advance
ment of Teaching and its sub
sidiary, the Division of Educa-
