PAGE SIX PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL THURSDAY, YiAY 20, 19xa Senators Move to Change Rule on Secret Vote Early Action on the Proposal Abolish Closed Sessions Is Seen. to Washington. May 25 Senators in terested in abolishing secret roll calls made plans this week-end to try to force early action to modify the rules of the senate concerning closed executive sessions. Ou Monday the senate rules com mittee plans to question Paul II. Mal lon. United Press staff correspondent, who obtained the secret roll calls on the confirmations of former Secre tary of Interior Roy O. West and Customs Judge Irvine L. Lenroot. The senate rules committee sub poenaed Mallon following publica tion of the Lenroot roll call. But due to criticism of secret sessions the rules committee is expected to ques tion Mallon only briefly. Members have said there would be no "inquisition" and they have said publicly they do not expect Mallon to disclose the source of his informa tion. They consented to question Mal lon in public instead of in secret and to permit him counsel. Efforts to change the rules to abol ish secret roll calls will be made be fore congress recesses for a summer breathing spell. Senator Jones of Washington. assistant republican leader of the senate, has pending a proposal to take roll calls on presi dential appointments in open session. He will press it for action before the recess. Senator George Norris, repub lican, Nebraska, who led the fight ; against Speaker Cannon in the house twenty years ago, and changed the rules to break the power of the speakership, is supporting Jones in the demand for early action. Warning by La Follette. Strong demands for a change are being made also by Senator La Fol lette, republican, Wisconsin, who has warned the senate that unless it changes the rule, he will carry the issue to his constituents and dter mine whether a senator has the right lo tell his state how he votes on im portant nominations, such as that of Lenroot. More conservative senators uch as Reed, republican, Pennsylvania, are flow reconciled to a change in the rules and predict it will take place shortly. Reed now believes it would be better to publish roll calls official ly than to allow senators to give out information unofficially, as he feels they are now doing. Change in sentiment in the senate Is regarded as having been brought about by the flood of newspaper criti cism of secret sessions which was provoked when the senate rules com mittee undertook to discipline Mallon for publishing the Lenroot roll call and by the hard blows dealt at sec recy in senate debate by La Follette and Hiram Johnson of California. A sequel to the conflict between the senate and the press this week occured today when Senator David A. Reed, republican, Pennsylvania, offered, through his secretary, to meet correspondents this afternoon "to discuss senate executive sessions, newspaper ethics and swap view points." Reporters Indignant. The indignation of newspaper cor respondents was visited upon Reed this week because in criticising the United Press publication of the Len root roll call, Reed referred in sen ate debate to the "so-called ethics of the so-called profession." Newspaper correspondents almost without excep tion criticised this utterance as un fair and unwarranted. It was thought Reed's offer to correspond ents today was to correct the effects of his critical remark. Newspaper correspondents imme diately circulated a petition which bore about fifty names of represen tative correspondents which read: "The undersigned respectfully ask that the standing committe of cor respondents inform Mr. Ted Huntley, secretary to Senator David A. K-ed, that if the senator has any thoughts on newspaper ethics he present them on the floor of the senate, where he made his original statement on 'the so-called ethics of the so-called news paper profession.'

The Aleutian, formerly the Pan ama and the Havana, was valued at $1,000,000 by the company officers who spoke of her as the finest ship in their service. She was captained by John S.
