CHAIRMANSHIP OF HOUSE
INDIAN COMMITTEE WILL
GO TO WESTERN SOLON
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—The
chairmanship of the house Indian
committee in the next congress, now
held by an eastern man, will go to the
west, it was learned today. Chairman
Snyder, of New York, was not a can
didate for reelection. Representa
tive) Cole, of Ohio and Roach, of Mis
souri, republicans, were beaten in the
recent election. Representative Dal
linger, republican, of Massachusetts, |
was not a candidate for re-election.
Representative Johnson, republican
of South Dakota, now chairman of the
world war veterans’ committee, was ,
ranking member of the Indian Com- j
mitteeT Whether he will resign the
chairmanship of the veteran’s commit
tee and head the Indian committee is
uncertain. Should he retain the vet
erans’ committee post, Representative
Leavitt, republican, Montana, will be
ranking member of the Indian com
mittee and would likely be offered the
chairmanship.
DEMOCRATS WILL ASSIST
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Senate
democrats have no disposition to ob- '
struct action in the coming session'
of congress on any measure of gen
eral importance which can be fairly
considered Senator Robinson, of Ar
kansas, the minority leader, declared j
today upon his arival here from his j
home state.
He added that the democratic organ
ization would co-oprate in the passage
of the^ appropriation bills.
Senator Robinson said it was incum
bent on the republican majority to for- |
mulate the legislative program and
that the democrats would not assume
tfiie initiative unless public necessity
required it. The minority leader ad- j
ded, however, that it was not to be
expected that many measures of gen

eral importance would be acted upon
finally at the coming sessiorf.
“The indications are," he said, “that
among the subjects which will receive
attention are farm relief legislation,
including co-operative marketing, the
transportation act as it relates to the
adjustment of labor disputes, rate
making and freight schedules. It is
doubtful whether any of these bills
will be brought to a conclusion.
“It is anticipated that an effort will
be made to dispose of the Muscle
Shoals project, and the policy of com
pleting this project by the government
seems to be gaining support.
Further tax reductions can hardly
be accomplished in the immediate fu
ture, owing to the conditions of the
revenues, but this subject, undoubtedly
will be revived in the early future.
“It is not practical to anticipate the
emergencis which may change the out
look for legislation in the short ses
sion, but the foregoing seems to be a
fair outline at pi'esent.”
DRY LEADERS SUED IN SEATTLE
SEATTLE, Dec. 15—Hitting back
at Federal Prohibition Director Roy C.
Lyle and his aide, William Whitney,
Roy Olmstead yesterday started action
against the federal officers in a su
perior court.
He asks damages of $5,000 from
Lyle and Whitney for alleged injury
to his reputation and his radio broad
casting ventures, and obtained an or
der from Superior Judge Mitchell
Gillam which temporarily restrains
them from interfering in any way
with Olmstead’s radio business.
The two dry agents were ordered
to appear before Judge Gillam this
month to show cause why the tempor
ary order should not be made a per
manent injunction, pending the out
come of the trial of the damage suit
on its merits.
CROSS WORD PUZZLES
AND RADIO BANNED BY
GOTHAM POLICE HEAD
NEW Y’ORK ,Dec. 15.—Police com
missioner Enright in an edict written
before he sailed for South America,
and made effective today, ordered that
radio and cross word puzzles be shelv
ed by the members of the department
in favor of pistol practice .
“The men are spending too much
time in looking up two-toed sloths and
three-lettered Australian birds, or at
tempting to tune in on Honolulu,” the
commissioner told His commanding of
ficer. “I want them, from now on, to
spend all their spare time in target
practice. I am tired of hearing about
half a dozen policemen and detectives
emptying their guns at a crook with
no damage done to either side except
that the crook invariably escapes.”
