A dispute arose in the Senate
today over the propriety of Chair
man Green of the Senate Elections
Committee placing in the record a
statement by Gov John Moses Of
North Dakota in connection with
debate on the right of Senator
LANCER to represent that State in
the Senate.
Gov Moses said his special in
vestigator had been handicapped in
Investigations into North Dakota
bond transactions involved In the
moral turpitude charges against
LANCER and that some information
was disclosed for the first time by
the Senate inquiry.
After the letter was read by a
clerk at Senator Green's request
Senator Murdock, Democrat of
Utah described it as an "argument"
and declared that in fairness to
Senator LANCER the hearings should
be reopened to allow defense at
torneys to cross-examine Gov. Moses.
Minority Leader McNary said he
was amazed at the display of feel
ing by Senator Green against Sen
ator LANCER and told the Senate
the letter constituted a brief by
the Governor attempting to place an
analysis upon the testimony given
the committee without an oppor-
tunity for defense counsel to cre>s-
examine"

ton Board, told a House Mill
tary Affairs Subcommittee today
that a statement by Robert r.
Guthrie, resigned w. p. B. exec
utive, that he had opposed con-
servation of wool "has no founda-
ton in fact"
Mr.. Rice said that as early as last
May he had urged curtailment in
the use Of wool and denied Mr.
Guthrie's testimony last week that
he had not supplied information
and "impeded the war effort" The
subcommittee is investigating Mr..
Guthrie's resignation as head Of the
w. P. B. textile, clothing and leather
goods branch.
Mr. Guthrie ''' has made Ger
tain charges which, incidentally, he
has never made to my face" Mr..
Rice told the committee.
Says Information Was Given.
Il have always given Mr.. Guth-
rie's branch information on cur
rent procurement programs as soon
as the services had decided them
selves what they wanted to buy" he
said. Il could not give Mr.. Guth-
rie's branch information which was
not in existence, or release military
information until the services re-
leased it,"
Mr.. Rice said he was lin no sense
liaison man between Mr.. Guthrie's
branch and the Army" his function
being consultant on textile procure
ment in the Purchases Division.
Number of Arguments.
He said there were "a number of
arguments" over details of wool
freezing order but he was not in
volved and Il do not know what
the detailed arguments were He
also said that while he had opposed
blanket freezing order on nylon as
such, Il never opposed the CONVEX
sion of Dupont's nylon production
for military needs"
Regarding Mr.. Guthrie's charge
that Mr. Rice and others had op-
posed his plans to convert the car
pet, upholstery and drapery mill
business to the manufacture of cot
ton duck for military needs, Mr.
Rice said the armed services have
already placed contracts with this
category of mills to the extent of
approximately l0,500,000 square
yards" With one exception, he
added, the orders we're placed prior
to Mr. Guthrie's resignation on

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, March 23.-Suspension
of intercollegiate football at Geor-
eia Tech and the University OF
Georgia for duration of the war
will be sought by L. w. Chip Rob-
ert. member of the Board OF Re-
gents, the Atlanta Journal said
today.
In a dispatch from its Washington
correspondent, the paper quoted MI
Robert as saying he would propose
the suspension in resolution at a
meeting of the regents next week.
Il anticipate that Chancellor Is.
W Sanford and Regent Chairman
Sandy Beaver will join with me,
since the chancellor, especially, In
sisted upon suspension of intercol-
legiate football at Athens on Ameri-
cas- entrance into the First World

Tech Coach Opposed.
Mr.. Robert, head of an Atlanta
engineering firm, was in Washington
on business. He Is a former Georgia
Tech football player and has been
a leader in alumni athletic activi-
ties.
w. A. Alexander, veteran football
coach at Georgia Tech, said he
thought such proposal lis entirely
out of line with the wishes of Army
and Navy officials
Mr.. Sanford said he did not favor
abandonment of intercollegiate foot
ball at the university and Tech dur
ing this war He said there was no
meeting of the regents scheduled,
the previously called March meeting
having been indefinitely postponed.
Game Scheduled With Navy.
intercollegiate football is being
continued at Annapolis and West
Point We even have game sched-
uled with the Navy at request of
naval officials every Army train
ing post has one or more football
teams and games are being arranged
for them with colleges"
The journal correspondent said
that Mr.. Robert explained:
The regents should cut out foot
ball and concentrate in preparing all
students for the needs of the Nation.
The War Department urges cur
tailment of college courses to three
years and there is likelihood that
they may be further shortened Sim
ilarly educational institutions are
asked to train students for war
services-train all students, not so,
100 or a football squad"
Mr.. Robert said he recalled that
In the World War period the uni
versity suspended intercollegiate
football competition until 1920, al
