Fight in Prospect
Over Am|ie Appointment

With prospects that the nomina-
ton will be subjected to closest
scrutiny, the name Of Thomas r.
Amlie Of Wisconsin was before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee today for membership on the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Mr.. Amlie, former Progressive
member Of the House, was nomi-
mated yesterday by President Roose-
velt to succeed Balthasar H. Meyer,
whose term expired December 81. A
Wisconsin Republican, appointed in
1911, Mr.. Meyer will remain on the
commission until his successor quail
fies.
Mr.. Amlie was a victim of the
primary last fall when he unsuccess-
fully sought the Progressive nominal
ton for Senator.
The first repercussion from the
appointment came last night from
Racine, Wis, where, the Associated
Press reported, william D. Carroll,
chairman of the State Democratic
Central Committee, demanded that
the nomination be recalled or re-
jected.
In an address Mr.. Carroll said
Mr.. Amlie was "one of the most
insistent spokesmen of those radicals
who are against the American
scheme Of things. = He has such
firm opinions on Government owner
ship of railroads as to prevent him
from using good judgment on the
pressing problems of railroads in
private ownership"

leges in Washington at no extra
charge. More than 10000, 900 visi-
tors are expected at the fair. One
OF the most interesting features is
