Text Of Statement.
Mr.. Randolph's statement read:
If I become chairman of the
District Committee. l want the
people of Washington to know it
shall be my purpose to cooperate
with them in every possible way
to secure the enactment by Congress
of legislation beneficial to the Dis
trict of Columbia and which fits it
to the general legislative program
of the nation.
Il will endeavor to secure the en-
actment of worthwhile legislation
and prevent duplication and con-
fusion.
Il shall welcome at all times the
advice and counsel of the individual
citizens of Washington as we'll as
the officials in an effort to carry out
the wishes and provide for the needs
of the residents here. I feel that
the other members of the committee
have the same opinion"
Confidence that the new Con-
gress would give sympathetic con-
sideration to the pleas of the dis
franchised residents of Washington

American citizens was expressed last

The Judiciary Committee held
hearings on my resolution as we'll
as one for national representation
introduced by Representative Mary
T. Norton of New Jersey. But 1
believe the movement to give the
people of the District vote will
progress mucn further in the new
Congress"
Other ajor Problems.
Aside from the national represen-
tation question, the new Congress
will be confronted with three other
major District problems:
l. Adoption of q permanent tax
program.
2. Adjustment of the controversial
public relief issue.
g. Consideration OF a plan to re-
organize the municipal government
The proposed new tax program.
drafted under the direction of Colin
F. STAN, counsel for the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on Internal
Revenue Taxation. has virtually
been completed and will be sub
mitted to both the Senate and
House District Committees by Janu-
ary IS
About that time Representative
Ambrose j. Kennedy, Democrat, of
Maryland also will turn over to the
same committees plan for reor-
ganizing the District government as
drawn up by Chicago firm of
municipal engineers headed by E. o.
Griffenhagen.
Report to Be Studied.
The public relief question will first
be discussed in the House Sub
committee on District Appropria-
tions after thorough consideration
of the report of Burdette G. Lewis,
who directed a comprehensive in
vestigation during the summer OF
the administration of public assist
ance funds.
In addition to the major" Dis
trict problems Congress will be called
on to consider a legislative pro-
gram to be recommended by the
Commissioners.
One of the bills to be recommend
ed by the Commissioners is de-
signed to increase their powers.
Another would establish a civil
service system in the District gov
ernment separate and distinct from
the Federal system.
Just prior to the convening OF the
new Congress, Mr.. Randolph dis
cussed the new legislative program
of the Commissioners with Corpora
ton Counsel ElWoOd H. Seal.

Allegiance 10 God
Is Worlds Hope,
Bishop Says
Diocesan Auxiliary Urged
To Continue Missions
In Jopon, China

The Right Rev. James E. Freeman,
Bishop of Washington, today told
assembled members of the Diocesan
Womans Auxiliary of the Episcopal
Church that civilization is through
unless there ultimately is admission
throughout the world of allegiance
to God.
Bishop Freeman was celebrant at
services of holy communion at St.
Thomas Church, Eighteenth and
Church streets NV, where he de-
livered his annual address at the
meeting of the auxiliary organiza-
ton. Miss Mary Louise Pardee,
president of the Womans Auxiliary
of the Diocese of Connecticut and
former chairman of the National
Executive Board, was to be the
speaker at a business meeting which
was to follow luncheon this after
noon Miss Pardee's topic was to
be The United Thank Offering of
the Women of the Church"
Let the totalitarian systems and
all the other ideologies say to the
contrary Bishop Freeman assert
ed. "a new world is coming and
ultimately every knee must bow to
Jesus
Despite repercussions in Spain
and in China which are felt even
here in America, he said, Il am more
confident of the ultimate reign of
Christ this year than in any year
of my life"

At last nights caucus Mr.. Martin
was nominated by Representative
Treadway of Massachusetts as 4
man behind whom all factions of the
party could unite in preparation for
the 1910 presidential election.
Representative Treadway said Mr..
Martin was fitting leader for "the
younger. liberal men" In the party
to whom he said the country was
turning.
The people BY their votes have
shown that they have lost faith in
the methods and policies of the pres

said. yet at the same time they
have not shown q desire for a re-

President Huey Long Named
Murphy His Attorney General

The late Senator Huey P. Long
Of Louisiana would have chosen
Frank Murphy as his Attorney Cen
eral if he had been President. he
wrote In his book, My First Days
in the White House" published not
long before his assassination.
Senator Long wrote the book in
1885,. forecasting his election in
1886, when Mr.. Murphy. now Mr.
Roosevelt's Attorney General. was
elected Governor of Michigan.
On page so of the book. which
pretends to be a resume of the ac-
tivities Of President" Long. is this
statement about Mr.. Murphy:
The first serious talk l had with
my Attorney General convinced me
I had chosen the man among a mil
lion for the post.
LAS We shook hands in my eXecu-
tive office. I felt his piercing eyes
boring into my soul. I knew in
stantly that Frank Murphy was
reading my heart and mind as
though they were open books. and
that something he sensed in me
seemed to satisfy him"

Pension Lobbyists
Exert Pressure for
Legislation
Fight Is Expected to
Center in Woys and
Means Committee
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The old-age pension lobbyists were
on the job today, exerting pressure
to have their various plans for big
beg payments to the old folks con-
sidered by the new Congress.
1t became apparent that the fight
would center first in the House Ways
and Means Committee, with DR..
Francis E. Townsend'S forces and a
rival organization. the General We'll
fare Federation of America, sparring
to have their programs sent to the
floor for action.
Administration lieutenants are ex-
pected to oppose both programs. BE-,
An announcement yesterday by
Speaker Bankhead put a crimp in
the plans of certain pension tao
ticians who intended to introduce
their bills with the names of 100 or
more representatives appended as
co-sponcors. Speaker Bankhead said
he would put a stop to the bad
practice" Of multiple sponsorship,
and that each bill could have only
one name attached
Dr. Townsend. longtime cam
paigner for larger pensions, dis
cussed legislative strategy yesterday
with Senator Downey, Democrat, of
California, who spoke favorahly
of California'S Thursday
plan during his campaign.
DR.. Townsend told reporters SEN
timent for his program was growing
rapidly. He said about 80 Repre-
sentatives and half dozen Senators
were elected by Townsend votes.
At least 1856 Representatives and
dozen Senators are certain to vote
for the plan, he said.
The program calls for per cent
gross transactions tax, the receipts
from which would 60 for pensions

Coincident with the Townsend
statement. the General Welfare
Federation announced it had
dared administration leaders in
the House to allow the federations

had been advised that the House

Roosevelt Considers
Appointing Smith 10
Another Post
Withholding Of N. l. R. B
Members Remaining
Also Weighed

Disturbed at the strength of Sem
ate reappointment of David Wake
field Smith to the National Rela-
tions Board, President Roosevelt is
reported to he considering two posi-
BILE means of averting a showdown
fight on the issue.
First possibility is the appoint
ment of Mr. Smith to some other
Government post and the selection
OF a successor on the Labor Board
who could command greater Senate
support.
Second possibility is to withhold
the nomination form the Senate in
the present session and make an
other recess appointment after Con-
gress had gone home.
PrecedentS exist on which either
course might be based. although
the circumstances have been some
what different.
Avoided Two Fights.
On two occasions, President
Roosevelt has avoided bitter Senate
fights and possible defeats over
his choices for two relatively i'm
portant New Deal jobs.
During the first year of his first
term. for instance. he named DR..
Willard l.. Thorp, Wall Street
economist but also one of the New
Deal brain trust to be chief of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domes-
tbs Commerce. DR.. Thorp served
some nine months from his recess
appointment and until it was estab-
lished that the Senate Commerce
Committee apparently would dis
approve the nomination. He re-
signed the post and Mr.. Roosevelt
withdrew the nomination.
In another case, President Roose-
welt named Murray Latimer, Demo-
crat, and chairman of the Railroad
Retirement Board, to the Social
Security Board vacancy caused when
John G. Winant. Republican, re-
signed. Because the choice of Mr..
Latimer would have left the Social
Security Board composed of three
Democrats and no Republicans, a
storm of criticism arose. Mr.. Lati-
mer thereupon withdrew from con-
sideration.
Recess Appointment.
AS for the possibility of Mr.. Smith
remaining in his post but with the
Senate given no chance to pass on
him, it is within the power of the
President to select recess ap-
pointee and allow him to serve
through the next session of Congress
without Senate consideration. In
such case, however, the appointment
automatically expires at the close of
the first session after the recess ap-
polntment is made. Through such
period, the appointee would be en-
titled to draw his salary.
The further possibility then arises
IN which Mr.. Roosevelt might re-
appoint Mr.. Smith. again as a re-
cess nomination, and he would
serve until consideration might be
given in the second session. In this
connection, however, Mr.. Smith
would not draw salary during his
second term as recess appointee.
Previous Cases Cited.
Efforts Of Presidents Harding and
Coolidge to confer the post of COL
lector of customs for the Port of
New Orleans on Walter Cohen in the
early l920s were roughly parallel to
conditions as they might arise under
the latter possibility for handling
the Smith case. Mr.. Cohen finally
was confirmed by the Senate, after
earlier reflections.
While neither Mr.. Smith nor the
White House will discuss the present
case. it is understood Secretary of
Labor Perkins is drafting a list of

Opens, With Relief
Claiming Attention
Other Troublesome
Social and Economic
Problems Are Ahead
BY the Associated Press.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 3.-The
133d Pennsylvania General Assembly
Republican, controlled In both
House and Senate-convened today

islative action and many trouble
some social and economic problems
ahead.
It's meeting tolled an end to the
"little new deal" administration Of
Democratic Gov George H. Earle,
which swung into power in 1885
after A consecutive years Of Repub-
lican rule.
The new Legislature slated action
on relief after its preliminary duties
of electing Assembly officers and
hearing the farewell message of Gov.
Earle. who turns his office over to
Republican Arthur H. James on
January II.
So immediate are the Common
wealth's unemployment relief needs,
that the Republican leadership de-
cided to throw precedent to the
winds and set in motion machinery
to provide $4,000, 900 additional re-
lief funds at Its organization meet
ing.
On the eve Of convening, trouble
loomed for the Republican forces.
A Democratic Senate caucus voted
to make an open fight of an organ
ization issue in the upper chamber
: 1t questioned the right of the courts
to pass on qualifications of the Sem
ate members and served notice that
1t would move to defer election of a
president pro tempore.
AS the situation now stands. the
Republicans control the Senate by
two votes. Originally. the Demo-
Gratis held 1t by vote of 26 to "a.
but one of their numbers "bolted'
and two were eliminated from the
organization vote by the State Su-
preme Court.
The high court held Senator P. j.
Henney, who is also coroner of Ale

two jobs at once, and prohibited
Senator-elect Herbert Levin, Phil

seat pending disposition of a court

Henney chose to hold his coroner S
