HEARINGS PLEDGED
ON HARLAN'S BILL
Summers to Push Measure
to Give Cabinet Members
Seats in Congress.
BY the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press.
Thorough congressional study of the
idea Of requiring cabinet members to
answer their critics in the halls Of
Congress was promised yesterday by
Chairman Summers Of the House Ju-
dietary Committee.
He told newspaper men that he
would order hearings soon on a bill
by Representative Harlan, Democrat,
of Ohio, which would assign seats on
House and Senate floors to cabinet
members and permit them to join in
the debate.
Summers. like Harlan, has expressed
concern recently that conditions had
forced Congress to yield broad powers
to the executive branch. Neither OBJ
jected to what had been done, but
both seek to awaken Congress to its
own responsibilities.
House Interest Aroused.
Harlan's proposal has aroused un-
usual interest in the House. His main
idea is that among all civilized ma
tions government is so involved with
industry that an unprecedented ex-
pansion of executive authority has
been inescapable, and that where
democratic governments have failed
to recognize the necessity for expan-
sion, free institutions have been re-
placed by dictators"
He agrees that the expansion Of
executive authority was Just "as in
evitable in the United States as any
place else" but says "if we are to
maintain our former type of govern
ment the legislative power must be
expanded"
Harlan emphasized that he was not
cunning" for any cabinet member.
In his original discussion of the plan
on the floor another member re-
marked that all cabinet members
might not be wanted on the floor.
Il would not care to admit such a
statement, but II it Is SO, then this
bill is the very best bill we could de-
wise to meet the situation" he replied.
Sees Broader Representation.
A cabinet member, he said, would
represent the whole United States" 3"
Some Of our legislation Is passed
because one bloc says to another: You
vote for my bill and I'll vote for yours
A cabinet member, knowing that these
bloc bills were not for the benefit Of
the whole country. could help stop
them"
In past emergencies, Harlan re-
called, strong leaders-"like our pres

4 Collie Puppies
Waiting for

These little puppies are Mike,

old collies, who claim kinship
with the setter breed.
They are awaiting adoption
at the home of Mrs. Elmer S.
Reinoehl, 1868 California st.
N. w. Not that Mrs. Reinoehl
can't give them a good home,
but four rascals of this age are
just a little too much for her.
The puppies are white with
brown heads. They are at an
age when they can easily be
trained and handled. Mike and
Nogi are males, and Bertha
and Mimi females. If you would
like one Of the dogs, we suggest
that you get in touch with Mrs.

$4,000 POLICY.
SEEN MOTIVE
IN Staying

STAUNTON, Va. March GA
shocking solution to the brutal
murder of 18-year-old Pauline
Parry, factory girl, beaten to
death in a lonely churchyard at
Basic, Va, near Waynesboro, last
August, today was advanced by
police when they announced the
arrest Of the girls 23-year -old
brother on charge of her
murder.
A $4,000 insurance policy, nam
ing the young man as beneficiary,
was put forward by authorities
as the motive for the crime.
Another Arrested
Arrested with the brother-who
is James Parry, husband and
father Of a young child-was
Earnest Carter, 24-year-old resi-.
dent of Waynesboro.
Police are still seeking another
young man who they say is i'm.
plicated in the churchyard MUIR
der.
Parry and Carter were arrested
at Waynesboro and brought to
the county Jail here. They were
charged with murder and held
without bail.
Parry, who was questioned by
authorities after the murder and
who has been under constant Sc.
cret surveillance ever since, was
arrested Monday. Police said he
made application for the insur-
ance money on Friday.
Beaten to Death
Pauline, a pretty brunette who
lived with several other girls in
q Waynesboro boarding house,
was seized by her murderers on
the night Of August 10 as she re-
turned from a carnival. She was
dragged from the road to the
churchyard and there beaten and
left for dead.
Taken to a Staunton hospital,
the girl lived until November 10.
Her skull had been fractured in
several places.
The assault, which aroused the
entire country, came only a few
weeks after the Fannie Kurz muir
der at Fredericksburg, Va, and
paralleled it in many instances.
Miss KurZ was beaten and thrown
into ravine to die, while her eS-
cort, Milton Brown, received in
juries which sent him to hos
pital for a month and which de-
stroyed all memory of the attack.
Both Deny Charge
In both cases, a carnival had
been playing in the town, and for
some days county authorities con-
centrated their investigations on
the theory travelling performers or
roustaboutS with the show were
responsible for both attacks.
County authorities here at first
announced Miss Parry had been
criminally assaulted. Hospital
physicians, after an examination,
however, denied this.
Chief Of Police Roy SwitZer
said both men have denied any
connection with the case and
have offered alibiS for the night
of the assault.
