. Congress is lit work, with a
big shadow on the wall labeled
Muscle Shoals. Senator Xor
ris, who wears no corporation
harness, thinks a water power
built with the people's money
should be used for the people's
benefit. That doesn't suit mod
era corporation government.
Senator N'orris probably will be
disappointed.
The administration proposes
to push the country into the
World Court without having
said anything convincing as to
the defects of our own supreme
court, or what control or guid
f anee we need from Kurnpe.
Senator Horah and a few
other incn of conviction may
postpone that proceeding for a
while.

Dr. AVilson, general secretary
of the board of temperance,

of the Methodist Episcopal
church, objects to the reappor
tionment plan.
He wants to change the con
stitutional provision that the
number of congressmen should
depend on the number of peo
ple represented.
Russia resents the statement
that eight engineers, confess
ing high treason and implicat
k ing members of the British and
French governments, made
their confessions "after tor
ture." Britain and Franco, on the
other hand, are indignant that
Russian witnesses should ac
use high officials of those coun
tries of conspiring to overthrow
the Russian government.
High officials arc not, such
fools, and Russia, at this stage,

There is foolishness in the

FIRST CALL
ON SESSION
Presidents Message Asks
Speeding Up of Federal
Construction By Huge
Emergency Appropriation
Seed and Feed Loans.
WASHINGTON, Dec 2 HP)
President Hoover set uremploy-j
mont and drought relief" at the'
top of the program for the short
session recommended today in his
message to congress.
To accelerate all federal con
struction in the next six months
he requested an emergency ap
propriation up to $1"0. 000.000. The
amount for need and Teed loans
to iarmers was left for congres
sional determination.
Estimating this year's deficit
would reni-h JlSO.OOO.OOu, he said.
"I can not emphasize too strongly
the ahsolnte necessity to defer any '
other plan for increase of gov-J
ernniental expenditures.'
A surplus of only $3 0.000.000 is
in sight for 1932, the president
warned, even with discontinuance
of the one per cent tax reduc-j
tion on 1929 incomes. "Rigid
economy" was declared necessary
to "avoid increase in taxes."
Asks lA'glslaf ion.
In addition to the relief enact
ments, he advocated early com
pletion of the following legisla
tion: Muscle shoals, motor hus
regulation, relief of court conges
tion, horder patrol reorganization
lo prevent smuggling, and law
enforcement in the national capi-i
lal. I
Neither prohibition nor work of
the law enforcement commission 1
was discussed.
Mr. Hoover concluded with a
reiteration of intention to transmit I
later to the senate in a special
message, the revised protocol for
American adherence to the world
, court. -
In connection "with providing;
employment, he stated a need for,
authority to make some enlarged
temporary advances of federal I
highway aia to the states. An
other proposal was that the $150.
000.000 appropriation he made
distributable to the different de
partments, upon recommendation j
of a cabinet committee and presl-J
dential approval.
Means Big Expenditure.
"Its application to works already
authorized by the congress assures
Its use In directions of economic
Importance ami to public wei- (
fare," he wrote. ' Such action ,
will imply an expenditure upon
construction of all kinds of over
$6&0.000,000 during the next 112,
months." I
1 looking beyond the short ses
Bion, the chief executive reeom- J
mended several questions for con-j
gressionnl consideration, pei naps
through committees cooperating in
some Instances with the federal
departments, with a view to prep
aration for subsequent action."
These Included effective regula
tion of interstate electrical power;
further legislation necessary to
facilitate railroad consolidation.; re
vision of Immigration laws to
place them on a more limited, se
lective and flexible basis: and ad
justment of inequalities in services
and allowanres lo veterans.

Knemies of prohibition In the

own to push forward their attacks
on the ury laws.
They already are armed with n
capacious supply of ammunition.
In the first day's pllo of new bills,
the members placed two proposals
for national polls on repent of the

The call for the wet meeting

wants to lay out an aggressive
campaign for modification or re-

the next congress principally In

Una Alternative
The proposition of modification
or repeal, however, contained the
wide alternative which has made
difficult In the past forming of a
strong wet coalition. Tho variety
of method proposed reflected
anew difference In the minds of
wet and moist members.
Representative McLeod, republi
