SENATE LIKELY.
|. To SEAT HOLT
LATE TODAY
Senator George to Keep Body
In Session Until Final
Action Is Taken
international News Service

Resuming debate over the seat.
ing of Rush D. Holt CD Of
West Virginia, the Senate was
warned by Senator George CD
of Georgia, leading the fight to
seat the 30-year-old Senator.elect,
that he will try to keep it in
session today until vote is
taken.
Senator George expects Hollis
confirmation about 6 p. m. He
is chairman of the Privileges and
Elections Committee that voted
to seat him.
Final outcome of the issue
never has been in doubt, but
Holt still faces opposition from
the Republicans. Senator Hastings
of Delaware and Austin of Yer
mont have yet to argue their
contention that Holt cannot con-
Stitutionally take office because
he was elected when 20 years
old. Holt became 80, the con.
stitutional minimum age for Sen.
ate membership on Wednesday.
Today his battle was carried
on by his colleague, Senator
Nicely Cd, of West Virginia, La
toilette (P), of Wisconsin, Ship.
stead F.-L0, of Minnesota,
George, and several other Demo
Gratis. Senator George expects the
loss of about six votes on the
Democratic side, due to yester.
days barrage.
The most bitter attack on seat
ing Holt was made by Senator
johnson (R.) of California. While
members of Hollis family sat in
the gallery, johnson said:
"Neither at the time Of the
election, nor when his term COM
menced did he possess the age
qualifications provided by che
Constitution"
Senator George replied:
"As a SenatOr-eIect obviously
does not automatically become
a member of Congress at the
beginning of the term of office
for which he was elected, no sub
Stantial reason can be found in
the Constitution why his quail
ficatiOnS of either age or citizen.

This does not mean that the in
spection service can be blamed for
catastrophes, however, said Sena-
tor Copeland. He added.
"COnceding that there is in
efficiency in the inspection Serv.
ice, 1 do not think that any fair.
minded man attributes the MORO
Castle disaster to faulty inspec-
ton"
NOT IN PROBE
Mitchell called Senator Cope.
lands attention to the report on
the Moro Castle, stating that the
crew did not hold proper fire
drills. The Senator said:
II know, but that was not the
fault of the inspectors, that was
the fault q the operators of
the ship"
Mitchell testified that he did
not take any part in the MORO
Castle investigation. He said:
"A Mr.. Curley, an assistant in
the department, came in and
handed me a 1000 page report
on the disaster, but I was not
asked to review it."
Mitchell testified he told Mr..
Curley that Secretary Roper had
relieved him of all activity in the
case.
The name of Tom Pendergast,
Missouri political leader, was in
jected into the testimony when
Senator Copeland asked Mitchell
why he had been removed from
the department. Mitchell said:
tom PendergaSt was one of
the principal reasons"
Senator Copeland said:
Hes the principal reason for
a lot of things. He once said
/ needed a dose of castor oil
but sent back word that what
he needed was a dose of good
old intestinal fortitude."
Mitchell said:
"He needs a lot Of things he's
going to get"
TOOK NO PART
At this point Senator Clark D.)
of Missouri broke in:
do you know If Mr.. Pender.
CAST had anything to do with
your Dismissal?
"WelI, I'm like Will Rogers, all
I know is what / read in the
newspapers"

FILA ABOLITION
SUGGESTED
IN HOUSE
Reps. SiroviCh and Pearson
Score Failure to Loan More
of Housing Fund

Suggestions that the Federal
Housing Administration be abol-
ished or that, if it remains, its
administrator, James A. Moffett,
be replaced in the interest of
efficiency were made today at
House Civil Service subcommittee
hearing.
The hearing was before a sub
committee headed by Representa-
tive William I. Sirovich CD Of
New York, which is studying an
omnibus civil service expansion
bill. Division heads of the FILA
were called to explain why mem
bers of Congress have been
ignored in the appointment of
personnel of the FILA.
Abolition Proposed
A suggestion that the agency
may be abolished came from Rep
resentatives Sirovich and Heron
Pearson CD of Tennessee, while
William D. Flanders, director of
the FILA field division, was on the
stand.
Mr.. Flanders testified that only
about IS million dollars of the
200 million dollars made avail
able to the agency for insuring
loans has been used. Subcommit-
tee members indicated surprise
that more of the funds had not
been loaned. Representative Siro-
vich asked:
Representative Pearson, is it
your opinion that if these funds
are no more in demand than
that, that the FILA may be done
away WITH"
PEARSON BACKS IDEA
The Tennessee Representative
replied;
IF no more than $4,000, 900
has been made available in a
year through this agency, /
think the whole thing might
well be abolished"
Mr. Sirovich asserted:
II think that may be some
thing for consideration by this
committee"
PERSONNEL POLICY HIT
Representative Charles I. Fad
dis 3D. of Pennsylvania, who said
he spoke for the whip of the
House, Representative Pat Boland
3D. of Pennsylvania and the %
members of the Pennsylvania del
egation ir the House, denounced
the FILA for refusing to heed rec
concentrations of members of
Congress for persons seeking posi-
tons with the FILA.

BANK, COAL, TAX
MEASURES
PUSHED
Officials Fear DeadIine on
June 30 for Bank, Sales Tax
and Guffey Bills

The fate of the three impor.
tant bills hung perilously in the
balance today as congressional
leaders fought to bring them un-
der the wire before the June 80
"deadline." They are:
The Federal bank deposit in
surance provisions of the omnibus
bank bill.
The $5o1, 100000 special tax
extension resolution.
The Guffey coal control meas
ure.
Treasury Concerned
While the leaders hope all three
bills can be passed in time, they
fear at least one of them may
fail.
Unless the miscellaneous sales
tax bill resolution is passed within
the next nine days, the Treasury
will lose revenue for each days
delay because sales taxes cannot
be imposed retroactively. The reso-
luton has passed the House and
is now awaiting Senate action.
The tax law is threatened by
the proposal of Senator La Fol
lette ProgD of Wisconsin to
write the Presidents inheritance
and income tax program into the
measure, a move opposed by Ad.
miniStration leaders.
Bank Officials Worried
Officials anxiously awaited the
verdict on the bank deposit in
Surance provisions of the omni-
bus banking bill which would
continue the present temporary
bank deposit insurance. with a
$4,000 limit. Under existing law
the suspended permanent system
will become effective June 30 un-
less Congress acts.
With the permanent system
providing full deposit insurance
up to $4,000, IS per cent insur-
ance up to $4,000, and so per
cent insurance over that amount,
drastic changes must be made by
the insurance system if Congress
fails to act.
Guffey Bill Stalled
There is little likelihood that
the Guffey bituminous coal bill
will be passed before June 80, the
day the strike truce between Presi'
dent Roosevelt and the United
Mine Workers of America expires.
The strike of the 100000 soft coal
miners was postponed from June
II to July to give Congress a
chance to adopt the bill.
A House ways ana means sub
committee is still holding hearings
on the Guffey measure.
