HAITI IS NUIR y SUPPORTED Hoirse of Representatives is In Favor of President Hoover's Idea WASHINGTON. Dec. 18. (AP) Approval of President Hoover's recommendation that a commission investigate conditions in Haiti was given today by the house. Action on the proposal moved to the senate where a vote is not expected nntil after the Christ mas holidays dne to the absence of many senators from the city. The house accepted the resolu tion sponsored by Representative Porter, republican, Pennsylvania, without a record vote. It also adopted an amendment by Repre sentative Bankhead, democrat, Alabama, to provide that the com mission of seven, to be appointed by the president, report to con gress as well as to the chief ex ecutive, within six months. Action was taken on the meas- nre at almost the time a report was received that the 600 marines ordered by President Hoover to Haiti to reinforce the 700 sta tioned there during recent disord ers were being returned to this country without having gone farther than Cuba. Opposition to the measure was led by Representative Huddleston, democrat, Alabama. The racial question injected into the three hour debate by Representative Fish, republican, New York, who suggested that two negroes be ap pointed to the commission. This suggestion was approved by Representative De Priest, negro, republican, Illinois, who made his first speech from the well of the chamber. Gratification Expressed At Fifth's Saggestlon "I was very pleased at the sug gestion made by the gentleman from New York," De Priest said, "when he recommended that one or two members of the commis sion should he from the racial group that I am identified with and 1 am not surprised to hear other, gentlemen object to it." Representative O'Connor, repub lican, Oklahoma, asked Huddle ston his reaction to Fish's pro posal. The Alabaman said be was sorry the "racial problem bad been injected" In the consideration of the resolution but expressed the opinion that It would not be fair to the negroes to appoint one or two on the commission even though there were many qualified to act.
