trict Committee is expected to an.
point a special subcommittee today
to hold public hearings on the
nomination Of Riley E. Elgen to
serve another three-year terms as a
member of the Public Utilities Com
mission.
Senator King said he had hoped
to report Mr.. Elgens nomination
to the Senate favorably without the
necessity Of public hearings, but
Senator McCarran, Democrat, OF
Nevada, member Of the commit
tee, insisted that an opportunity be
given any opponents of the former
commission head to be heard pub
licly.
81 was somewhat surprised that
a request was made for hearings"
declared Senator King. II did not
know there was any opposition to
Mr.. Elgen's reappointment."
Senator King is confident, how
ever, the Senate will confirm the
nomination.

Passive Resistance.
1t is not suggested that any of
the individuals who have suffered

the length of staging organized re-

it is explained, would take the form

chase of stock in publishing compa-
MES which specialize in school text
books, the purpose being to totan-
tarianize their contents and thus
educate American youth along Nazi-
Facist lines. The other reported
phase of German capital invest
ment is the acquisition of apartment
house properties, in order that the
new owners may install their own
janitors and other overseers, who
would be in position to report on
tenants views and activities, thus
providing a first-hand check-up on

Mr.. Roosevelts warm tribute to
the memory of Pat McKenna, for
81 years doorkeeper to the presi-

countless thousands of Americans
who visited Washington during the
long period between the Theodore
and Franklin Roosevelt admins
trations. Pat was courtesy and
patience incarnate with callers of
high and low degree, whether hum
Bile tourists just alighted from omni-
buses or bearers of credentials from
influential politicians. McKenna
seemed to know intuitively who
rated admission to the presidential
presence, or were entitled to the
priced pasteboards which enabled
wayfaring patriots to be conducted
through the Executive Mansion for
a glimpse of rooms not ordinarily
open to tourists inspection. Even
people who failed to achieve their
objective came away feeling it had
been pleasure even to be turned
down by the genial Irishman. He
had often to say no, but invariably

Beneath Washington more or

again RACES as to whether the
Seventy-sixth Congress should give
up the ghost before the Democratic
convention, or merely recess once
more and resume when Chicago has
become history. Opinion is heavily
divided. Thirty-odd Senators and
400-odd Representatives up for re-
election view the prospect of a con-
tinuous session with mixed emotions,
mostly alarm. Their thoughts natu-
rally center on backbone campaign
necessities. Rival party leaders
themselves are far from unanimity

night that the record of Wendell

employees proved that Mr.. Willkie
cannot be trusted with the social
security Of 100000 men and

Campaigning for the Roosevelt
Wallace ticket, the Mayor asserted
in an address before a rally of in
dependent voters:
Judging from past performances
and actual experience and the dis
regard for ethics and square deal
ing in relations with his own en-
ployes, Wendell Willkie cannot be

dia continued, 1T was not long be-

the Mayor added.
The Mayors whirlwind tour Of
Detroit was high lighted by his
scuffle with heckler on the steps
of the City Hall.
There were two versions of the
cause of the scufle, which lasted
only q few moments. One was that
the heckler shouted: Did Boss
Flynn send you here?" Others said
the question was: Are you taking
orders from Boss Flynn"
CThe reference was presumably
to Edward j. Flynn, Democratic Ma

At any rate. Police Inspector Jesse
Meade and Patrolman Elwyn Mccall
said Mayor La Guardia seized the
heckler, demanding. You take that
back. Are you going to take that
back?"
Later at police headquarters the
heckler said he lost two buttons
