camp" Mrs. Wilson said. Sometimes
have spent several days there
and I met Miss Mac Donald on one of
those occasions, the same as I met
other girls with whom Daniel went
about.
Whether or not there has been
such an engagement, I am not pre-
pared to say. I have not had the
opportunity to talk to him recently
about his marriage At present he is
doing experimental work on Diesel
engines"

SCANT CHANCE SEEN
FOR EXTRA SESSION
O'Connor of House Rules Commit
tee Believes It Would Not Speed
Desired Measures.

Scant prospect Of an extra session
OF Congress is seen by Chairman
O'Connor Of the House Rules Com
mittee, who would be in charge of the
resolutions to expedite action on the
special legislation to be enacted.
O'Connor personally is not in favor
of an extra session. He said yester-
day he believes no time would be saved
in putting through such desired meas
ures as the farm and the wage and

Before leaving the Capital last night
for New York, OConnor pointed out
that even if an extra session is called
with the intervention of holidays at
Thanksgiving and Christmas. there
would be only about four weeks for
legislative work, and ''if the measures
to be passed are properly prepared
they can be passed readily in January

A Senate minority bitterly fought
the action, charging the President was
becoming the instrument of an

contending the evidence that COM

BLACKS ADDRESS
BRINGS BACKF|RE
Senator Johnson Says JUS
tlCe Once ForesWore
the Constitution.

The backfire OF criticism and praise
which started Immediately after JUS
tice Black had explained his Klan
connections Friday night, continued
unabated yesterday.
From San Francisco, the Associated
Press quoted Senator Hiram w. john
son, Republican, of California as de-
claring it "a sorry thing" that Black
should go to the Supreme Court.
Despite his rhetoric and his touch
ing illusions to his Negro, Jewish and
Catholic friends, one damning fact
stands out in bold relief" Senator
johnson said.
He voluntarily became a member
of the Klan, was initiated into it. and
subscribed to its tenets.
He thus foreswore the Constitution
of the United States. and all his prot
estations and pretty words cannot
disguise the ugly fact that he then
would have denied the right of re-
ligious freedom to his American
brethren.
For years, and untH his senator
ship, he continued his membership in
the Klan.
I'VE can thank God for small favors
and gladly admit all that he says
he now is.
But with his record, it is a sorry
thing that he should go upon the Su-
preme Court Of the United States"
Untermyer Impressed.
To the contrary. Samuel Inter
myer. New York lawyer and foe of
the Klan, said he was greatly i'm
pressed with Blacks radio speech.
Inc attorney, who is head Of the Anti
Nazi League and other non-sectarian
and JEWS sectarian organiza tions,
added:
1t seemed TO me that his explana-
ton should close the discussion. OF
course, it is true that he was a mem
per OF the Klan. So we're many thou
sands Of others in the South at the
time. His record in the Seante and
his associations and appointments
while in the Senate impressed me that
he is today man of liberal views on
racial and religious questions"
Other comment included:
Senator Lodge, Republican Of Mas
sachusetts: Il made my comment
two months ago when 1 voted against
Justice Black"
Senator Schwellenbach, Democrat.
OF Washington: 1T was a very good
speech and complete statement"
Senator Bone. Democrat, of WASH
ngton: If it was a fact he be-
longed to the Klan, that this speech
of admiSsion) was all he could do. In
my opinion, Justice Black displayed a
high and definite regard for human
rights"
Fine Explanation"
Senator Wheeler, Democrat. OF
Montana, a leader in the fight on
President Roosevelt's court plan.
called the address "a fine explana-
ton" of the Klan charges, adding,
Il think he satisfied the people een-
orally"
Il regret that he didn't take us
into his confidence on the Klan matter
and give US the benefit then cat the
time Of conf1rmation) of the views
ne has now expressed" said Senator
Burke, Democrat, of Nebraska, an
other court plan opponent.
Senator Chavez. Democrat, Of New
Mexico, said he was Disappointed
in Blacks statement.

Justice Black that would indicate he
was sorry for having joined an in

Communications Body Head
Says Price Control Law
MAY Be Advisable.

Declaring he questioned "the wis
dom OF policy that would leave for
ever free from regulatory control
any public utility" Frank r. Nc
Ninch, new chairman of the Federal
Communications Commission, sug-
gested yesterday that legislation
granting the commission power to
exercise rate-fixing authority over
broadcasting might be advisable
McNinch emphasized, however, that
his views were merely tentative and
subject to revision or complete
change.
He declared. Il don't know any,
thing about this field. My work has
been power"
McNinch. who moved to the F.
c. c. Craftsmanship from similar
capacity with the Federal Power Com
mission, said the President has given
him free hand in managing COM
mission matters.
To Attack Trafficking.
Pointing out that the communica-
tons act specifically prohibited sale of
radio station licenses and permits the
sale only of the physical property,
McNinch said, Il shall do what l
can to prevent, or break up, if there
has been. what is commonly called
'trafflcking in licenses"
The new chairman announced he
had received complete pledges of
support and cooperation from the
other members of the commission and
that his reception was lust as cordial
as if they had selected me instead of
the President"
Saying ne would not be "in con-
ference" when he was not SO occupied,
McNinch told reporters full infor-
nation on the work of the commits
sion and as to his views on F. C. C.
matters would be available to them
at all times. He said:
mo Covering Up"
There will be no covering up OF
anything by me-"
Asked whether this statement in
dicated there might have been secre-
stated emphatically he had no reason
to believe such had been the case.
Queried as to his views on news
paper control of radio stations, he
said he had not had opportunity to
form any definite opinion. but con-
sidered the question "one of the i'm
portant problems to be thought
through and determined"
Pointing out that radio was not
the only work of the commission, al
though it received the largest share
of publicity, McNinch said he would
give equal attention to the tele-
phone and telegraph divisions. and
considered it "a duty. irrespective of
right" of the chairman to sit with
all three divisions.
