read before the Federal Trade Com
mission. purporting to have been
written to utility officials by State
Senator Warren T. Thayer Wnen ne
was head of the Senate Public Service
Committee resulted yesterday in
threat of Impeachment of Thayer.
Senator John j. McNaboe, New York
Democrat, said he would introduce an
impeachment resolution Monday night.
He also said resolution would be in
troduced calling for a thorough inveS-
tigation into the entire utilities ques
ton, as it affects this situation
McNaboe said impeachment pro-
ceedings would be only fair to the
people and to Senator Thayer."
Letter Is Introduced.
In the trade commission proceedings
Senator Thayer. Franklin County
Republican, was represented as having
written the Associated Gas & Electric
Co. in 1927 to inquire whether his
service as chairman of the Senate
Pu5lic Service Committee had been
satisfactory"
Charges of a legislative utilities al
lance were made last Winter by Re-
publican State Chairman w Kings
land Macy. Macy incurred the wrath
of all except a few of his party COL
leagues in the Republican, controlled
Assembly by charging they were in
the control of utility interests. The
Assembly is the Lower House.
Reform Bills Now Up.
Added point is given the utilities
situation by the fact that Gov, Her
bert H. Lehman's utility reform"
bills now are in the hands of the
same committee that Senator Thayer
headed until year ago. The bills
were killed in this committee, under
the Craftsmanship of Senator Thomas
F. Burchill, New York Democrat, last
year
Senator McNaboe announced his
plans at New York after reading the
purported Thayer letters.
1T is squarely up to the Senate to
look into this matter thoroughly, he
declared
''The confidence of the people IN
government, and particularly in legH-
lative bodies. is at a low ebb. IhlS
investigation would bring out any ana
all transactions between members and
utility concerns"
Thayer Welcomes Probe.
Senator Thayer. at his law Office at
Chateaugay. said he would welcome
an investigation.
Il may have something more to say
when 1 come down to Albany for the
session Monday night" he added. He
said he had examined his files again
and could find no records of letters
such as were read to the Trade Com
mission in an inquiry into affairs OF
the Associated Gas & Electric Co.
The utility companies and their
stockholders have fought the Lehman
pills as "ruinous" to their interests
They are opposed particularly to the
bills for municipal power plants and a
per cent limit on earnings. Gov
Lehman regards the former bill as
powerful weapon against high rates
thought his bills now had better
chance to pass,
Il have been confdent-very conf
dent that they will pass" he said
This development directs the atten-
ton of the people to the situation
The people are in no frame of mind
this year to allow the smothering OF
bills in committee rooms"
Gov. Lehman and Floyd Carlisle
utility executive, have appealed direct
to the voters in their respective fights
for and against the legislation.

EASTER MAY FIND
WHITE HOUSE DARK
Family Scattered, Mrs.
Roosevelt Considers Co.
ina on Picnic Sunday.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Easter at the White House won't be
the typical Roosevelt family holiday
with the President away-So Mrs.
Roosevelt may dash off for picnic.
So said the First Lady when querled
on the subject. Franklin, jr., isn't
coming home, because he's trying for
the freshman crew at Harvard. and
wants to save his holidays for times
when his father will be home. James
Roosevelt is with his father on the
Southern cruise.
Still another young Roosevelt, John,
now convalescing from an appendi-
CitiS operation, failed to fill the White
House up with his guests, as has been
his holiday custom. That leaves a
family group small enough for Mrs.
Roosevelts favorite paStime-picnick-
ing.
However, there's the usual Easter
stir about the White House. Trees
are being sprayed, awnings put up,
the South grounds prepared for Mon
days Easter egg rolling. Mrs. Roose-
velt surveyed the scene yesterday from
the South portico and made practical
suggestions on arrangements.
She paused, too, to admire the ex-
ouiSite, juSt-opening Easter lilies, an
nual gift of Bermuda's governor.
Easter eggs are, of course, being
boiled and colored for grandchildren
Sistie and Buzzie in the White House
kitchens.
Another thing Mrs. Roosevelt is
doing while her husband is away is to
sub for him in traditional Easter
public appearances This after
noon, in his stead, she planned to
plant cedarS of Lebanon in Arlington
Cemetery. Tomorrow morning she'll
attend the sunrise Easter service there,
marked last year by President Roose-
velts presence in a pouring rain The
HooverS also were drenched in that
outdoor ampitheater the year before.
And on Monday Mrs Roosevelt will
have the whole responsibility of the
Easter egg rolling, at which the

be well stocked, so local anglers can
enjoy their sport and be sure of
capturing at least some of their day S
bag limit. which, in Virginia, is 20
trout day.
Judge Snow called attention to the
/ recent bill passed by the General
Assembly for a short term hunting
and fishing license. The bill as
passed. he said while not favored by
/ the commission. calls for a s. fee a
day for hunting and 81 day for
/ fishing.
Amended in House.
The measure as introduced was s.
for three days hunting and 81 a day
| for fishing The bill as introduced
passed the Senate, but was amended
in the House
Two dollars a day for fishing may
seem a little high, but if any angler
visits our State and catches 10 of his
days bag limit, I think he will feel
well repaid i feel the measure as
/ passed is, however. an entering wedge,
! and when the next Legislature meets
we will be able to have more ac-
ceptable bill enacted into the law
the Judge said.
Judge Snow said local anglers have
been overlooking wonderful salt water
fishing in Chesapeake Bay by not
visiting Southwest Middles, located
about "a miles southeast of Point
/ Lookout He told his listeners that
on these grounds ne has enjoyed
some remarkable fishing, catching
large blues and bonito, and that last
year many channel bass or red
drum were landed on these grounds.
He said there was a peculiar forma-
ton on the bottom of the bay at this
place, composed of coral and sand, an
ideal feeding place for the different
/ species.
Bad on Windy Day.
This remarkable fishing ground is
a hill that makes up in the bay, he
said, and when reached, one is almost
out of sight of land. Therefore, he
pointed out. it is a bad place on a
windy day, the big rollers striking the
more or less shallow water causes it
to be dangerous for a small boat.
Just a short distance away is
Tangier Sound, where the old battle
ship Texas was sunk and where fish
abound in the early part of the
season, and. as a matter of fact. all
during the fishing season. From
Southwest MiddleS down the bay to
the Capes there is no better fishing
anywhere except off the Florida
/ coast. and the uncertainty of your
catch makes the sport more exciting.
You may find a big blue on your line,
+ or a good-size sea trout, bonito, red
drum or channel bass, black drum
or some of the other denizens Of the
deep. I advise all anglers to try
these grounds at least once during
the present year." the judge said.
