:PIoeser's S Probe Hit

, The National Association of Co.
operatives last night challenged Car
roll Reece, chairman of the Repub-
. lican National Committee, to state
his party's stand on co-operatives.
In a telegram to him, the asso-
!, cations board of directors protested
the House Small Business Commit
tee attack upon co-operatives. 1t
branded the current committee in
quiry apparently "a planned parti-
san political attack upon American
co-operatives."
This is the first time in history
when an accredited committee OF
Congress has made an open and
avowed attack upon agriculture and
agricultural co-operatives under the
pious cloak of investigating the
problems of small business" the
telegram said.
THE unwarranted secrecy char
acterlzing the first hearing is un-
paralleled in the violation of con-
stitutional rights. 1t has been pub
licly reported that the transcript of
the hearing has been withdrawn
and is not available to the accused,
the public or the press"
The board found fault with the
way Chairman Ploeser, Republican,
of Missouri, has functioned in the
committee and said "his protesta-
tions of fairness and impartiality
toward agricultural co-ops appar-
emily have become meaningless"
The board asked Chairman Reece
whether the Republican Party has
reversed its historical position with
regard to farmer co-operatives:;
whether this unwarranted attack"
by the committee ION the American
farmer and his co-operatives repre-
sent the designed policy of the
Republican Party" and wanted to
know if the committee operates
with the official approval of Re
publican Party leadership"
The board met yesterday in Chi
cago, claiming to represent one
third of the nations farmers.

President leader, today accused
James Roosevelt, Democratic State

"ingratitude" and said the late Pres
ident's son was derelict in his party
duties during the 1916 primary eIec-
ton campaign.
Mr.. Kenny was replying to Mr..
Roosevelt's statement in New York
last night in which the latter said
that Mr. Kenny made a half
hearted effort" as the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate in the pri-
maries. Mr.. Kenny said he lecog-
nized that political ingratitude is a
necessity in a republic but Mr..
Roosevelt overdoes it when he kicks
a man who is down."
I'm 1916, Mr.. Roosevelt was paid
$685. 900 to support progressive
candidates." Mr.. Kenny seid, ''tut
he was too busy selling insurance
to make more than . few perfume
tory appearances during the primary
campaign. Now he blames it on my
'half-heartedness." Well, at least I
retained my amateur standing. I
am still able to act independently.

bridge being inserted, the same

needed, since the healthy tissue in
side the gum soon forms a firm

"Why hasn't this been done be-
fore?" DR.. Marshall was asked.
He answered that it has, as long
as 80 years ago, but that lack of
sulfa drugs and penicillin to pre-

cedure. Even at present, he ex-
planned, it can be done only with the

Actual steps to set up joint House.
Senate hearings on the Districts
big revenue problems now are un-
der way.
The plan now has the approval
Of the leaders of the fiscal subcom-
mittees of the two groups as well as
that of the chairmen of the House
and Senate District Committees.
Only the details and hearing dates
remain to be settled.
As a means of getting quickly
comprehensive data on fiscal mat
ters, the joint hearings plan has
been indorsed by Chairmen Buck
and Dirksen of the Senate and
House District Committees respec-
lively.
Tax Bill Being Proposed.
General arrangements have been
approved by Representative Bates,
Republican, OF Massachusetts, who
will head the fiscal subcommittee of
the House Committee, and by Sem
ator Flanders, Republican, of Ver-
mont. who heads the fiscal sub
committee of the District Commit
tee.
The Districts $4,000, 900 new tax
program is being put into final shape
by the Commissioners. It will be
transmitted to Congress soon. A
companion bill that city officials hope
will be adopted as part Of the new
revenue scheme calls for a higher
Federal payment based generally on
the extent of tax-free land holdings
of the United States in the National
Capital. This measure is sponsored
jointly by Senators O'Mahoney,
DEMOCRAT, of wyoming, and Over
ton. Democrat, of Louisiana.
Measures closely similar to this
formula bill have several times. been
approved by the Senate by over
wheln1ing votes. If now in effect,
the formula would call for a Federal
share of about $12,O00,00O instead
of the current $4,000, 900 lump sum
payment.
Early Meeting Sought.
Following meeting of the House
Committee yesterday, MIR. Bates,
former Mayor of Salem, Mass, and
for many years a member of the
Massachusetts Legislature, sought
to arrange an early meeting with
Senate spokesmen on the joint hear
ings, which he called "the most
constructive step now possible"
Looking ahead to even greater CO.
operation between the House and
Senate District Committees on all
District matters, Mr.. Bates an
nounced he would sponsor meas
ure calling for formal consolidation
of the two committees.
Mr.. Bates has called on Corpora
ton Counsel Vernon E. West to
aid him in drafting the future
plan.
