Show HARD TO FORECAST WHAT SENATE WILL DO WASHINGTON. Doc. 12 Tho action to be taken by tho Senate in nsserting its displeasure becauso of President Roosevelt's messngo in regard to the secret service, has "not been outlined with any defiuitcness. It has been understood un-derstood that a resolution would bo of- fercd by somo Democratic Sonator providing pro-viding ior an investigation by the coin- ( mittco on appropriaions of tho. prcsi ; dent's language. It was argued that I as a Republican introduced a rcsolu- I tion in the House, tho selection of a I Democrat for tho same purposo in the Senate would give a nonpartisan flavor to the course being pursued. Conferences today developed .that a number of" lenders believe the action should be taken br a Republican, and it was suggested that Senator' Burrows would be tho proper person to offer tho resolution. Senator Burrows has not yet consented to do so. It is likely that tho resolution will be tho same as that of the House, providing for the appointment of a select committco of fhfo to consider the wholo subject. It is evident that tho House does not intend to take any hnsty action in rebuking re-buking tho president for'the statements in his message regarding the civil service action of the Congress. Tho committee com-mittee appointed yesterday, of which Mr. Perkins of Now York is chairman, did not meet today, but is expected to cqme together on Monday. The understanding under-standing is, however, that no report will be made until the latter part of the week. The members of tho select committee are determined to present their recommendations boforo adjournment adjourn-ment before the Christmas holiday. |
