 The last time such extraordin- ary action was taken was during the Coolidge regime, when Sen- ate liberals moved to otist Attor- ney General Harry M. Daugh- erty. The resolution was squelched, but shortly thereafter Coolidge replaced Daugherty with Harlan F. Stone. He in turn was kicked upstairs" to the Supreme Court when he threatened to prosecute Andrew Melons Alu. rni1um Company for alleged anti. trust law violations. A3
 Anger and disgust at Roper's bumbling administration of the Commerce Department has been growing In Congress for long time. No department has had so many changes in executive per- sonnel. And none has been sub. jected to such harsh and frequent condemnation.
 Under Fire
 The Bureaus of Maine lnspec- ton, Foreign and Domestic Come merce and Air Commerce have been under fire almost conti1u- ously since Roper took, command of them. The Air Commerce Bu- reau underwent another reshuf- fling only a few weeks ago.
 The idea of making a public demand for ROper's removal was prompted by his secret diSband-
 ing of the National Committee on Safety at Sea. His congress sional foes consider this latest
 Roper operation another exam- pie of his partiality toward ship
 ping interests, and they are up
 i'm arms over It.
 At least one meeting has been held at which the ouster-resoIu- ton was discussed. Whether anything will actually come of 1t remains to be seen. But 1t is cer- tain that "Uncle Dan" is very much in bad on Capitol Hill.

 Treasury Kitchen Cabinet
 Some old familiar faces are to be seen about the Treasury corri- dors these days as the Admin istration works on its extensive plans for. "neutralizing" the bil- lions of foreign money in the U. s. financial markets.
 Whenever Secretary Henry Mor- genthau is about to embark on an important fiscal policy, he always calls in 8 group of trusted out side experts. What he seeks from them is not 50 much advice on plans, as technical information on the best way to execute the pro- gram the administration wants to put over.
 Four men make up this fiscal "kitchens cabinet"
 No. l Is Dr. Jacob viner, Uni- versity of Chicago professor and closest to Morgenthau. Several years ago Viner was chief of the Treasury's freshman brain trust" and coninutes between Washing ton and Chicago to advise Young Henry.
 No. ?, o. M. W. Sprague taught the. President economies at Har- yard. He left $25, 900 job as Bank of England adviser to ac- cept a poorer paying position in the Treasury, only to quit few months later after a friendly clash over the New Deals gold policy. Sprague is again teach- ing at Harvard. Despite past dif- ferences, he is on the best of terms with the White House and Treasury.
 No. 3, Walter Stewart, formerly chief of the Federal Reserve Board research staff, Is now with Case. Pomeroy 6S O., New York invest ment firm. Little known outside financial circles, Stewart rates high in administration confidence as a sound, broad-gauged bank CT.
