Over Fight on Cutting

Five Progressive Senators walked
out of the chamber this afternoon
when Dennis Chavez CD of New
Mexico, was sworn into the Sen

airplane crash in Missouri.
The Progressives who refused to
watch Mr.. Chavez take the oath
were Senator'S johnson (R0 Cali
fornia, Nye (RD North Dakota,
Norris (RO Nebraska, ShipStead
iFL.) Minnesota and LaFollette
(PO Wisconsin. They left the
chamber in protest against the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Chavez.
The ProgresSives objected to Mr..
Chavez succeeding the late Sen
ator Cutting, because the two men
were bitter personal enemies, hav-
ing opposed each other for the
Senate last November.
At the time of Senator Cuttings
death, Mr.. Chavez was contesting
Senator Cuttings election.

BY EARL GOODWIN

With the threat of a Presiden-
tial veto staring them in the
face, 81 members of the House,
organized as the "bonus steer.
ing committee" appeared before
President Roosevelt today and
begged him not to kill the
chances of paying an adjusted
compensation to the veterans Of
the World War.
The committee, headed by the
author of the bill which Congress
has passed, Representative
Wright Patman (D.) of Texas,
left with the President detailed
explanation of the bonus posi-
ton, including a discussion Of
the charge that the bill is an in
flationary measure, denying the
charge, and calling attention to
the gross inequalities suffered by
ex-soldiers in contrast to many Of
the financial and industrial in
terestS.
Just Obligation
In conclusion the committees
statement made the plea:
"Cash payment of the ad.
juSted certificates will not be
dole. 1t will be the payment
of a just obligation. 1t will
prove that Americans still re-
gard heroism as a virtue; and
that our gratitude does not
melt away with the coming of
peace"
The President received the
committee as soon as he had
reached his office this morning,
listened carefully to the extended
argument, but made little com.
ment. He did not announce any
change of mind about vetoing the
message in personal appear
ance before Congress-; nor did
the committee discuss with him
any compromise measure.
The committee explanation in.
cluded the statement that "the
country is convinced that this
debt is really past due" which is
a direct hit at President Roose-

international NEWS service
Donald R. Richberg, NRA head,
today told the House Ways and
Means Committee that to extend
NRA for only 10 months, as the
Senate wants, would demoralize
code enforcement.
He declared Congress should
either kill the NRA or revise it to
meet the objections raised. He
pleaded for two-year extension.
While asSailing the Senate's
limited extension, Richberg agreed
in principle to the Clark Senate
resolutions ban on price-fixing
and limiting the NRA to inter
state business.
DOughton to Help
AS he opened the Adlninistra-
tons fight for a two-year exten-
sion, Committee Chairman Dough"
ton CD of North Carolina an
nounced that tentative Demo
cratic program, embodying the
Administrations views, would be
presented for study. Mr.. Rich
berg said:
"At the outset, let me state
that I am in accord with the an
nounced purpose Of the reSOlu-
ton (Senate resolutiOn) to con-
tinue the NRA with definite re.
strictions as to intrastate COM
merce and price-fixing; but
am also convinced that the pro-
visions of the resolution are un-
workable and inadequate to &C.
cOmplish its declared intention.
"The effect of an extension of
only nine and One-haLf months
even without amendments -
would, be demOralizing, because
it is necessary anyhow to revise
many Of the codes and their ad-
miniStratiOn, and to limit the
activity and improve the eff.
cheney of the NRA in the light
Of experience and to meet just
criticism"

action.

It was the only way, in my help

my condemnation of the dis
graceful and unwarranted fight
made to drive Senator Cutting
out of office. The determined
opposition of the Democratic
national committee and its
chairman, Postmaster General
Farley to bring about the de-
feat Of Senator Cutting is the
greatest case Of ingratitude in
history. 1t is a blot upon the
record of the Administration"
Senator johnson explained
that hsi resentment against the
contest" filed by Chavez to oust
Cutting from the Senate twas
so great I simply did not want
to see his successor sworn into
office" johnson characterized
Chavez's contest as utterly
without merit"
The demonstration was without
parallel in Senate history.
It came shortly after the Senate
convened. Then, Senator Hatch
CD of New Mexico, announced
Chavez was in the chamber and
ready to take the oath under ap-
pointment by Gov. Clyde Tingley,
of New Mexico. Vice President
Garner called Chavez to the bar
of the Senate to take the oath.

WALSH PLANS
ART CENTER
FOR D. c.
Bay State Senator Would Have
U. S. Erect Gallery Here for
Portraits and Sculpture

A new move to make Washing
ton the art center of America de-
veloped in the Senate today.
American heroes, statesmen,
scientists and artists would be
memorialized for all time under
terms of resolution introduced
by Senator David I. Walsh DO
of Massachusetts,.
Creation of a commission to
study the establishment of a Ma
tional Portrait Gallery is provided
for in the resolution. In such a
gallery would be hung the por-
traits and miniatures of the fa-
nous men and women Of the
country.
Terms of Resolution
Under terms Of the resolution,
the commission, to be known as
the National Portrait Gallery Com.
mission, would be given $4,000 to
draw up preliminary plans for the
construction of the gallery. 1t is
stipulated that the Commission
report back to Congress by Janu-
ary 4, 1886, the opening day of the
next Congress.
It is contemplated that the
works of art, including paintings
and sculptures, would be donated
by artists, the families of those
who are determined worthy of hav-
ing their likeneSses in the gallery
and from other such sources.
Sponsors of the resolution sug-
gest that while there are various
museums, art galleries and other
such institutions in the city, there
should be a National Portrait
Gallery in the National Capital
so that such works of art could
be collected in one place for the
edification and education Of fu-
ture generations.
Included in the membership OF
the commission which will draw up
the plans for the gallery would
be the chairman of the board Of
regents of the Smithsonian InStl-
tuition, the chairman and the
ranking member of both the
House and Senate Committees on
Public Buildings and Grounds,
and the supervising architect for
the procurement division of the
Treasury Department. The act
ing director of the National Gal
lery of Art would serve as eXecu'
tive officer Of the commission.
In ArmOry Square
Backers of the proposal believe
the structure should be erected IN
Armory Square so that the south
front of the building be on a
line with the south front of the
new National Museum Building
It is expected, also, that the
board of regents of the Smith
sonian Institution would have su-
pervision over the building.
The purpose of erecting such a
structure is pointed out in the
preamble of the resolution, which
reads:
ut would be fitting and proper
for the United States Govern"
ment to pay tribute to the men
and women who have been
notable or may become notable
in the history Of the United
States by the creation Of . suit.

be displayed the portraits, mini.

other like works Of art dealing
with such men and women.

building for properly housing

and other like works Of art deal

This apartment is built on the
