 istration is concerned. Secretary of State Cordell Hulrs anger over the Mexican governments action in raising vertically the Mexican tar if on American goods, last Dec. 31, had not entirely cooled when the appropriation law was made effec- tive.
 The public celebration and dem- onstrations in Mexico City which followed President Lazaro Garden as seizure of the oil properties were considered by American officials to be anti-America, rather than anti oil company.
 Among the problems which had been slated for amicable settlement under the good neighbor" policy were those arising from distribution of waters from the Rio Grande, Col orado, and Tia Juana rivers, all flood control projects, debt adjust ment, indemnity and borderland claims. All conversations and nego- tiations on these matters now have been shelved, it was stated.
 State department officials de- clined to admit that pressure was being brought upon the Mexican government to hasten a settlement. The United Press learned, however, that the United States has reached a definite decision with regard to it's policy on the oil controversy, and has communicated details of this policy to the Mexican govern ment. It was said that an outline of this policy was communicated to the representative of American Oil companies with interests in Mexico who conferred yesterday with Hull.

would not have to pass through the bottle-neck of his rules committee, which is the case with all house measures except those originating in the appropriations and ways and means committees. A special clause in the resoluation creating the house reorganization committee gave its bills privileged status.
 But regardless of what is before the bill in the house, it hardly can compare with the opposition it en- countered in the senate. Not since the proposal to reorganize the su- preme court was killed last summer has the atmosphere of the senate been as tense as when the clerk started calling the roll yesterday on a motion by Sen. David I. Walsh, D., Mass, to recommit the bill to com- mittee for further study.
 Senators had been bombarded all day with telegrams and messages vurging it's defeat. Ninety-three members were in their seats. Gal leries were packed and spectators stood in every available niche. More than 100 house members stood in the rear of the chamber.
 Motion Beaten 48-43
 Walsh's motion was defeated 48 to 43, and little later final passage was voted, 4s to 42. Sen. Robert J. Bulkley, D. O., switched to support the administration on the final vote.
 Six Senators, uncommitted before the vote, had held the balance of power. When the votes tallied five of them were counted with the ad- ministration. They were Sens. George L. Berry, D. Tenn, Hattie Caraway, D. Ark, Guy Gillette, D. Ia., Ellison D. Smith, D. s. c. and Elmer Thomas, D. Okla. one, Sen. Ernest Lundeen, F. L., Minn. voted with the opposition.
 After passage, however, a parlia- mentary maneuver by the unsuccess- full opponents of the bill sent the bill to the House Committee instead of directly to conference.
 Sen. James F. Byrnes, D. s. C., dOGAlOA dllQ 4lOOI-lcdQcI 1OI IIlG Ulll, moved just before passage to sub stitute the title of the House reor- ganization measure.
 Routine Motion This was routine motion which would have paved the way to a House conference, but Byrnes had forgot ten that under the unanimous con- sent agreement by which the Senate fixed p. m., as the voting time on recommital, it was provided that no amendments would be in order after that time.
 Sen. Bennett c. Clark, D. Mo-, ob- jected quickly. Byrnes was over- ruled. The Senate then passed the Bill, and Byrnes renewed his mo- tion. After passage there was nc limit on debate and Sen. Edward R. Burke, D. Neb., promptly an anti reorganization speech bearing all the earmarks of filibuster. After half an hour Byrnes with drew his motion, content to let the Senate measure face the usual House procedure.

 Special Prosecutor Alcorn was asked as he entered the building to- day, twill Mayor Spellacy be a witt ness this morning?"
 His reply was T wouldn't say he was coming this morning" This led to the belief that the mayor might be called some time later in the day. It is believed that he will be called before long, however.
 Attorney Charles Williamson, for mer close ally of the late J. Henry Roraback, was the first of the array of witnesses to appear this morning. He joked with reporters as his pie ture was snapped, saying, Cant you get better one than you got last time. I'm more handsome than that" He smiled when someone asked him why he did not take Up permanent residence at the court house.
 Attorney Levy then made his ap- pearance, the fifth in the four weeks of the probe. He is said to have received something less than $10O,000" from the city for making survey of utilities rates Later in the day, Attorney Haddan

made his appearance and went into conference with MT. Levy who was seated in the third floor corridor. They also left together. Haddan denied having subpoena.
 Former Representative Hutchings was defeated in the last election by Senator Anthony Telesca of Tor rington. Hutchings was member of the house committee on roads, bridges and rivers, and also a mem- Der of the house committee on con- tingent expenses. He is a strong Republican leader of Litchfield county, and was a close ally of J. Henry Roraback.
 Felix Blanch is a close associ- ate of Harry Mackenzie of Bethel, who made appearances before the jury on March 9 and g. Blanc is said to have raised fund to further the passage of the Fair Trade Practices Bill. Mackenzie and Williamson are said to have used his office as headquarters during the general assemblies.
 Senator Albert E. Eccles of Bridgeport, socialist. was also visitor at the grand jury building today, but he was not under sub- poena. He is the man who said he would return $1o to the city of Wat erbury when he learned a Senator's party given by Mayor Hayes at Hartford in 1885 was paid for by the city
 Hugh Mead Alcorn, Jr., was back at the job of assisting his father in the investigation today, after siege of illness which confined him to his bed the larger part of last week.
 The "break" which spectators had anticipated for the opening day of the fourth week of investigation failed to materialize. Whether any, thing extraordinary will occur dur ing the balance of the week is matter for conjecture It is believed that Harry Mackenzie will be re- called by the jury within the next few days.

 Public Hearings
 Rep. John Taber, R., N. Y, a member of the house reorganization committee, said that he would de- mand public hearings on the senate bill
 "The comptroller general, the peo- pie in government and the civil service commission should be call ed," he said, "so that the people may know the facts and learn whether this bill should be passed"
 Chairman John O'Connor, D., N. Y, of the house rules committee, declared himself opposed to the whole reorganization idea.
 "The house special (reorganiza- tion) committee might well let the bill peacefully slumber in some cob- webbed pigeonhole," he said. This is no time further to inf1ame our people by such legislative gesture.
 Right or wrong, the bill would lend nothing toward the problem of solving unemployment-it might tend in the opposite direction-and surely it has no relation whatsoever to reassuring a much abused busi- ness world"
 O'Connor noted that the bill

 It had been MT. Hoover's first trip to Europe since 1919.
 He believed that European states men were pretty able in getting past the rocks" and that they were working hard for peace.
 Despite the war preparations. there is always the chance to avoid war;" he said. q do not feel that the possibility of lasting peace is at all hopeless"
 As for permitting the president broader authority in neutrality poli- cies, MT. Hoover said: Neutrality is about as dynamic as war itself. No one can anticipate what future con- ditions may be, or what tactics may be necessary to maintain neutral ity."
 He said that "the idea of main taining peace by economic force is certainly dead, and I have the im- pression that the present rearma- ment is more likely to mean read justment of the balance of power in Europe than anything else"
 MT. Hoover said the most notable change that he noted in Europe af- ter 18 years was the trend from democracy to totalitarian govern ments.
 "At one time. if you include the Kerensky government of Russia, there were 500,000,000 people in Europe living under democratic gov- ernment," he said. Nov there are about 130,000,000 Europeans under democratic government"
 He observed fundamental back wardness of economic movements, ;" he said, with none except a few Baltic countries having balanced budgets. Among the outstanding forces at work, he said, were the move toward self sufficiency and just plain fear"
