A demand that President Roose

country was made in the senate
today by Senator Nye (R-ND),
while at Hyde Park the chief ex
ecutive accused his critics of par
tisanship. .Nye.- an advocate of aloofness
from European affairs, also urged
that Harry Woodring, resigned
secretary of war, be called before
the . senate military affairs com
mittee for Questioning. He said he
would be "very much surprised"
if, the committee did not learn
that Woodring had been asked to
transfer ''national defense : secret

allies and that he had been oust

This brought from. Senator
Berkley (D-Ky) the reply that
Major General Henry H. Arn

At Hyde Park the president

to saeceed Woodring and Col.
