MONEY QUESTION is
TROUBLING HEADS OF
POLITICAL PARTIES
How to Replenish Empty cof-
fers Is Big Issue as Fall
Campaign Nears

Washington, April 21.-(P)-The
question Of money-how to get its
beginning to bother the two national
parties, deep In deficit, more than any
troubles over leadership.
The tell-tale November elections
aren't far away and both Democrats
and Republicans are giving immed-
late attention to hunt for funds to
wage the struggle for congressional
seats.
But leadership questions haven't
been shunted altogether.
Revolt continues to brew In the Re-
publican camp against the chairman
ship Of Everett Sanders Of Indiana.
The anti-Sanders group claimed
enough signatures Saturday to call q
meeting Of the party's national COM
mittee and such q session may be
called within the next 60 days under
the leadership Of Charles Hilles Of
New YORK.
Democrats are coasting along under
present leadership. President Roose-
welt has agreed that Postmaster-0 Gen.
eral Farley may relinquish his post a
national party chairman.
The word Of the politically wise
however. was that in the case Of both
Democrats and Republicans consider
able doubt exists that anything will
be done until after the fall elections
Should the Republicans force the
issue, some members Of that party
have pointed to the veteran. James e
Watson Of Indiana, former leader Of
the senate. as q likely choice fog
chairman.
Watson stands In opposition to the
present rule Of. Herbert Hoover over
the Republican organization. The
former president has stuck stead
tasty by Sanders. his 1882 campaign
manager.
In the Democratic camp Farley
busy with his duties as postmaster
general. has turned over almost I'll
party chores to Emil Hurja, now serv-
ing Is assistant national chairman.

WORRIES
HOUSE
Further Action on Measure
Now Awaits Advice of
Party Council

Perplexed between a desire
to retain the Senate liberaliz-
ing amendments to the indie
pendent offices supply bill and
predictions by Administration
allies that if sent to the Presi-
dent in its present form it will
be vetoed, members of the
House today were confronted
by one of the most difficult
problems of the current session.
Such was the state Of mind Of
the members on the Democratic
side in the House that they have
called a party conference for to-
night in the hope that they will
be able to reach at least a tenta-
tive agreement as to which course
they will take-follow the SenateX
as a large number apparently
would like to do, or heed Admin
istration leaders and lessen the
paycut and veterans liheraliza-
tons to avoid an impending Elk
ecutive veto of the entire measure.
Increases Compensation
AS the bill passed the Senate
yesterday it increased col11pensa.

restoration of per cent Of the
Government paycut and full res
toration of the paycut July / for
all those whose salaries are less
than $4,000.
Just before the measure was
approved finally by the Senate,
recognized Administration spokeS-
men in that body threatened that
if the bill reached the White
House with such large additional
increases in budgetary recommen.
dations, veto is inevitable.
Immediately Democratic leaders
in the House became alarmed at
the situation, and were looking
anxiously to the Chief Executive
today for a public announcement
of opposition to the entire addi-
tional program of expenditure
carried in the bill.
Expresses Doubt
Representative Joseph Byrnes
CD Of Tennessee, majority floor
leader in the House. expressed
doubt as to what the outcome
will be. Until yesterday it had
been thought that the House,
whose entire Republican bloc il
expected to vote to retain the
Senate amendments, would send
the bill to conference with in
structionS to its conferees that

amendment was to stay.
However, with the additional

voted to provide and the Borah

WESTERNA|R
EXPRESS
While Clerk of Senate Finance
Committee Took $4,000
From Air Mail Firm
By international News Service

Testimony that he repre-
scented an aviation company
while drawing a salary from
the Senate was offered at the
air mail hearings today by
Ernest w. Smoot. son of for
mer Senator Reed SmOot (R.)
of Utah.
Young Smoot said in 1880 he
accepted employment from West
ern Air Express while serving as a
clerk for the Senate Finance Com
mittee and thereafter worked at
both jobs. In addition, Mr. smoot
testified, he received money from
two Washington law firms for
handling cases before the United
States Customs Bureau.
Identifies $4,000 Bill
Mr.. Smoot identified a $15, 900
bill which. he rendered to w. A. E.
ON February 2, 1881, for represent
ing it before Comptroller General
McCarl'S department and Senate
and House committees. He said:
"The contract to carry mail
ON the middle tranScOntinental
route, awarded to w. A. E. and
TranscOntinentaI Air Transport,
had been held up by the Comp
trOller General"
Transcontinental Air Transport
officials destroyed most of the cor
respondence in the files of West
ern Air Express dealing with the
award of the Middle Transcon-
tinental air mail contract jointly
to the two companies, the COM
mlttee was told.
James G. Woolley, former vice
president of Western Air Express.
He said:
my understanding is that
T. A. A. officials destroyed most
of the correspondence after the
merger"
A letter written last month by
Mr.. Woolley to Harris M. Han
shue, president of the company,
was read into the record by the
witness. 1t asserted:
"The present is an excellent
time for some one to get in
there and tell the whole truth
about what was done, and Why
Charged to Brown
Mr.. Woolley declared the ques-
ton before the aviation operators
at the conference called by Wal
ter F. Brown, as postmaster gen.
eral in May, 1880, was who would
get the gravy and who would pay
the bill" He added:
"The Postmaster General was
running the show.

And 1 saw something with my

for that. I say you thank him.
I doubt If many Of the Senators
will thank him, but they did it,
so give 'em a hand.

Thousands of Gallons Of Liquor
on Hand; Press Club to

change in its plans, the Dis
trict Alcohol Beverage Con-
troll board today announced
that liquor licenses will be
distributed at midnight, en-
abling the Capital to hold an
early morning-if belated-
repeal party.
Indications, however, were that
the party will be a quiet one,
most Of the hotels and night
clubs having planned on a gala
opening, tomorrow night, due to
the uncertainty Of getting licenses.
and liquor stocks delivered to-
night.
The control board today heard
159 more applications. There
were II objected to, the other 148
being tentatively passed.
This brings a total of 602 ap-
plicationS heard by the board to
date. OF these 43 have been pro-
tested and the $50 passed.
The ABC board had first an
nounced it would mail out the
licenses this afternoon so that
sales would start tomorrow.
To Deliver Licenses
The change in plans was an
nounced today, however, at the
District Building by George w.
Offutt, chairman of the control
board.
Under the new plan the H.
censes, about 200, will be sent
out to the police precincts this
afternoon. At midnight police.
men will start out delivering
them.
Liquor wholesalers have ar
ranged to keep open, so that as
soon as the licenses have been de-
Iivered-liquor trucks will rush
around the city-as did beer
trucks the night the 80 beverage
became legal-making deliveries
to various thirst emporiumS. What
parties are held will be brief, for,
under the District law, no bev-
srages may be sold after 2 a. m.
The National Press Club will
receive license No. l. At midnight,
Commissioner George E. Allen will
60 to the club and present the
license to William c. Murphy, jr.,
president.
Bars Out Of Sight
The Capital will start the sale
Of liquor in a barleSs manner.
No bars are to be allowed, in an
effort to prevent the return of
the old-time saloon.
Even service bars must be out
Of sight of the drinkers. Drinks
must be mixed at such bars and
brought to tables.
Eight carloads of liquor arrived
in the District yesterday to sup
plement the stocks already on
hand, and there is an ample sup
ply available. Prices will be
about the same for bottled goods
