Norris, Nebraska Senator, Attacks President’s Method Of Gaining Personal Wealth

U.S. Increases Power Control
Supreme Court Supports Right To Regulate Light Company
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17—(UP)— The government won two victories today in its fight for stricter federal regulation of the electric power and light industry.
The supreme court, without opinion. upheld the right of the federal power commission to fix the eost of the Clarion river power company’s properties in Pennsylvania. and to eliminate from the sum fixed as the basis for rate-making such items as it deems unnecessary for construction.
Aids Consumer
The power commission, itself, took an important step in behalf of the consumer when lt declared the new river in Virginia a navigable stream. The ruling sets an important precedent.
The two cases were much allied in the minds of leaders who have carried on the fight for stricter federal regulation of power companies.
To Prevent Hearings
The Clarion river company's j suit attacking the validity of the j federal water power act was filed a few days after Attorney General . Mitchell wrote an opinion in the ! new river case in which he ques- I tioned its constitutionality. The question he passed in the New river case involved- only the question of the small stream's navigability. His questioning of the validity of the act, then administered by the secretaries of war, ' interior and agriculture, aroused a storm of protest.
The Clarion river suit was then brought to prevent the commission from holding hearings on the ! amount the company claimed to | have spent in developing the Piney ] project in the Clarion river.
dacy of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt before several thousand persons at the Metropolitan Opera house, the progressive Republican senator declared that "President Hoover’s theory of government is based on the assumption that the entire people should be ruled by an aristocratic class.”
In defending his support of the Democratic candidate, the grey-haired Nebraskan expressed the opinion that blind loyalty to a political party should be "subdued and regulated or the evils of partisanship will grow into a conflagration and destroy the very foundations of government.” Changed Parties “Mr. Hoover is depending on the party spirit for re-election,” he said, “yet for three years he served under a Democratic president, as a Democrat, then suddenly became a Republican—when he realized the Democrats would not be returned to power.”
Senator Norris charged that the ' national conventions of both political parties wrere dominated by political bosses, but that in the Democratic convention the "mass of the ! party threw off the yoke of the bosses and nominated an honest, independent man.”
Wealthy Man "It is generally understood he is a very wealthy man, but no one knows of what his wealth or property consist, where his investments are, and the waters are very muddy as to how he made it.” Norris then attacked the president’s unemployment relief plans as designed to benefit the wealthy and large corporations.
"In a nutshell, the president’s relief plan is for legislation to make the rich prosperous, to make the wealthy more wealthy, to give opportunities for additional wealth tc those who are already saturated with wealth,” he said.

Bidding the Trojan football team goodbye before they depart to battle the massacreing Stanford Indians of Palo Alto, S. C. students will give the squad a rousing sendoff Thursday night in a rally and parade to the Southern Pacific station. This announcement came last night from Joe Bushard, rally chairman.
Send-off festivities also include a morning rally, to be held in Bovard auditorium at 9:55 Thursday morning, and marked by the appearance of the Trojan band in full uniform, directed by Harold William Roberts. Coach Jones will speak on the team’s prospects against the Stanford tribe. The rally will be broadcast over KFAC.
Police Escort
Incited by the narrow squeak Loyola gave the team last Saturday, the student body will turn out to put on such a parade as will shivver the heart of the most rabid Stanford fan. Gathering on University avenue at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, the procession will move through the city accompanied by a special police escort and the busses carrying the team and the Trojan band.
Cars will be decorated profusely with cardinal and gold streamers furnished free by the University Book store, through the courtesy of Manager Chris Daniels.
Second Rally
Arriving at tbe S. P. station, another rally will be held, this one in the 'concourse of the building at 7 p.m. The band will play, Coach Jones will again speak, and the Yell King Bailey Edgerton and the Doty twins, assistants, will lead the cheering. The Trojan special train will leave at 7:30 p.m.
Joe Bushard promises a send-off that will equal that which saw the team off for Notre Dame last year. Anxiety over Troy’s chances at Stanford is running higher than Constance Bennett’s salary, and Bushard's committee, not to mention thousands of students are looking forward to a rally that will put the Trojans in a mood that will keep the Stanford Indians on the reservation for another year.

BULLETIN
ISTRES AIRPORT, Marseilles, France, Oct. 18—(UP)— Jean Marmoz, France’s No. 1 airmail pilot hopped off today for Buenos Aires but returned within eight minutes because of contrary headwinds.
IbTRES AIRPORT, Marseilles,
France, Tuesday, Oct. 18—(UP)_
Two of France's foremost airmen prepared to take off this morning on one of the most dramatic aerial races of history — a non-stop dash for Buenos Aires across the south Atlantic, with a million francs as the prize.
Both Jean Mermoz, sometimes called the Lindbergh of France, and Lucien Bossoutrot, famous for his distance flights, announced that they would get away at 5:30 a.m. on their attempts to beat the distance record set by Americans, Boardman and Polano, who
flewr from New York to Stamboul, Turkey, without a stop.
After leaving instructions that their planes he placed "on the line” for the takeoff at 4:30, the fliers went to bed, jubilant at reports that weather conditions are extremely favorable for their race across the ocean.
Mermoz, who is France's No. 1 airmail pilot, has the fastest plane.
' It is tango-colored and bears the French colors of blue, white, and red on the rudder. It is the same ship in which he attempted in 1931 to break the world’s closed circuit record.
The straight-line distance from Istres to Buenos Aires is 6,200 miles.
Both flyers are competing for a government prize of 1,000,000 francs (about $40,000) offered the first pilot to reach Buenos Aires without a stop.

Supreme Court Upholds Tariff Provision Act
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Oct. 17— (UP)—The LT. S. supreme court today upheld the flexible provisions of the tariff act which empower the president to raise or lower duties to protect American producers and consumers.
The court refused to review' an appeal brought by Harry Bland-amer, New York straw hat importer, who challenged the constitutionality of a proclamation by President Coolidge in 1926 raising the duty on certain types of straw hats.
Blandamer held congress could not authorize the president to change duties as such action placed legislative power in the chief executive. He also argued that by raising duties on lower priced articles, Mr. Coolidge created a classification not contained in the act itself.
The case was one of 142 on which the court acted within 15 minutes today. Its activity disposed of most of an accumulation of more than 350 cases which piled up during the summer recess.

Parliament To Convene Today
Ottawa Wheat Tariff To Be Subject of Rush Legislation
LONDON, Oct 17—(UP)—Parliament will reassemble tomorAw to rush through the legislamon necessary to effectuate the Ottawa agreements on which the national government pins its hopes for an early return of empire prosperity.
Members of the house of commons and the house of lords arriving in London tonight have been compelled to curtail their Holidays by nine days, since the new session is considered an emergency meeting.
No one regards the present si€ uation an emergency in the full sense of the word but the atmosphere here tonight was suggestive of it Instead of panic there was a sober tone of satisfaction that the Ottawa agreements will lead to better trade.
After the Ottawa agreements are put into effect and necessary tariff changes made, much remains to be done. Further severe economics are next on the program, probably in the guise of a supplementary budget in November. In this connection the war debt question will arise to provide parliament with its most vexing problem,	*
The so-called “food-tax” provisions of the Ottawa agreements will come under heavy fire from the laborites and left wing liberals headed by Sir Herbert Samuel. Government whips, however, will keep the conservatives, right wing liberals and the handful of MacDonald’s “national laborites” in line behind the cabinet policies.
