A. Chairman Undecided on Fight Still Challenges President's Power to Remove Him CHICAGO, March 23 (A. Arthur E. Morgan consulted an attorney today but declined to disclose whether he would contest his removal from the chairmanship of the Tennessee Valley Authority in the courts. Still challenging President Roosevelt's power to unseat him, the former head of the T.

V. A. conferred with Edwin H. Cassels, Chicago lawyer and close friend. Asked whether he had been retained as counsel and whether he would start legal proceedings, Cassels told reporters he would make no statement at this time.

Dr. Morgan informed newsmen at an earlier press conference that he came here to discuss the T. V. A. situation with acquaintances, including attorneys.

He reported he had "challenged" the right of Mr. Roosevelt to oust him, and added: "I stated to the President that he did not have the power or the right to remove me." Dr. Morgan announced he would Entering the Spring Season with a magnificent collection of IP STUDENTS GREET THEIR EX-PRESIDENT, DR. ARTHUR E. MORGAN More than 350 men and co-eds from nearby Antioch College, Yellow Springs, turned out to meet Dr.

Morgan as he arrived at Xenia, en route to the campus, after defying President Roosevelt in the T. V. A. dispute which led to Dr. Morgan's summary removal.

3 II Cambridge police officials will be contemplating the formation of an anti-Nazi squad in the near futuro if "Heil Hitler" banners keep popping up in strange places. Late yesterday afternoon former Assistant City Solicitor Mosicr B. Goldberg complained to Lieut. Robert J. Douglas that such a banner was hanging from a second-floor window of a rooming house on Prescott st.

Patrolmen William Stone and Edward Flynn went to the house and asked the landlady to remove the objectionable sign. "Why, there's no sign up there," she exclaimed. "I took it down this morning." But seeing was believing. The officers escorted her to the sidewalk and produced the evidence. They found the window jammed, but managed to reach the sign with a broomstick from another window.

To ice believe the banner was placed there as a joke on one of the Harvard Law School students who have rooms in the house. It hung from the window of a first-year student. Several times in the past week or two "Heil Hitler" signs have been found in similar places. This one was printed in fed ink on a huge sheet of brown wrapping paper. HAILE SELASSIE LOSES LONDON COURT BATTLE LONDON.

March 23 (A. Haile Selassie, the exiled Emperor of Ethiopia, lost another battle today. Chancery Court refused jurisdiction in Selassie's $50,000 suit against Cable and Wireless, and or dered him to pay court, costs. The Negus contended the money was due him under an agreement for wireless service to London the day he fled Addis Ababa in 1936, The Foreign Office, in response to the court's inquiries, said it recognized i the Italian Government as the 'de facto government of virtually the whole of Ethiopia." NEW YORK WOMAN ROBBED IN JAMAICA PLAIN CAR Miss Catherine O'Hca of New York city reported to police two men, between 25 and 30 years old, jostled her in a Jamaica Plain street car, yesterday afternoon.

mittce, contended tonight "we tnuyt stop looking to the politicians alone for salvation." In a prepared address at a din. ner of manufacturers attending an exposition of the package trade, hs said: "We must not delude ourselves into thinking we make social prog, ross by adopting reforms which simply give new expression to our old evils. If the millions sre ever to have access to fruits of plenty we must stop looking to the ticians alone for salvation and buckle down to the job of making the American system of free enter, prise under proper economic traf. fic rules really work." KING ALFONSO'S COUSIN SENTENCED TO PRISON EAYONNE, France, 23 (A. The Marquis de Portagn who has described himself as a' cousin of former King Alfonso Xm of Spain, was sentenced to prison today on two charges falsifying a passport and carrying firearms.

A police court gave him threa months and a day on the passport count and two months for carrying firearms, the sentences to run con. currently. A charge of carrying deadly bacteria in a purported plot to assassinate Spanish Government representatives was quashed by the court. J3W 1 MaTV 0 ell FUlt" 100 fROOF 1. I a gressional investigation of T.

V. A. Barkley objected, asserting that the inquiry should not be conducted by "partial investigators." (Bridges has openly asserted that he wishes to be a member of the investigating committee.) The New Hampshire Senator charged that President Roosevelt has convicted an "innocent man" at a "sort of drum-head trial" which did not get at "any of the facts." He demanded that Congress remove or suspend David Lilienthal and Har-court A. Morgan, Dr. Arthur Morgan's critics on the T.

V. A. Board. Meanwhile, the Senate Audit and Control Committee approved a resolution by Senator Norris, Independent, of Nebrasaka. calling for an investigation by a five-man Senate committee.

The resolution carries a $50,000 appropriation. Under Norris' proposal, the committee also would inquire into activities by private utilities designed to block T. V. A. operations.

Norris said he would seek Senate action on the resolution tomorrow. Pressing his request for an immediate Congressional inquiry, Bridges went on: "It must be remembered that directors David E. Lilienthal and H. A. Morgan now are in unquestioned possession of all records of the T.

V. A. Unless there is an immediate investigation of the things to which Dr. Morgan (the dismissed chairman) has referred, these may be covered up or whitewashed." Barkley, Norris Reply Promptly Bridges came embroiled in a warm exchange- with Barkley and with Senator Norris, Independent, of Nebraska, the author of the original T. V.

A. legislation. Barkley reiterated that the personnel of the investigating committee should not include "anybody who has his mind made up." "I may say for myself," said Bridges, "that I would go into the hearings with an open mind. But I want to serve on the committee." "Nobody has any doubt of that at all." said Barkley. "No doubt the Senator is perfectly unbiased." said Norris.

"I'm certainly as unbiased as the Senator from Nebraska," Bridges shouted. "The difference," said Norris, "is that I don't want to be a judge in this case." "Trickery," Norris Says Norris accused Bridges and Senator King, of Utah, co-authors of a resolution for a joint Congressional investigation, of "trickery" in negotiations with him looking to an agreement on the form of the proposed investigation. If it had not been lor objections by Bridges and King, he added, the investigation "would probably be finished by this time." He said criticisms of T. V. A.

by Bridges and King were "insulting." "No insult was Intended to the 0 7 EX-CAPT. BRENNAN SEVERELY BEATEN Retired Cambridge Officer in Critical Condition Brutally beaten by two young men, in what police believe might have been the outgrowth of an old grudge, Michael Brennan, 79-year-old former Cambridge police captain, was in serious condition at the Cambridge City Hospital last night. The assault occurred ion Cameron shortly before 6 p. m. Although Ex-Capt.

Brennan w'as in semiconscious condition and unable to give a complete account, he furnished investigating officers with partial descriptions of his assailants. Both were said to be of medium height and build. One, of dark complexion and wearing a black or dark blue suit, looked like a foreigner. The other had red hair and wore a brown suit. Passersby found Brennan unconscious on the sidewalk and took him to the office of Dr.

Philip Shea at 35 Cameron av. After first aid treatment, he was removed to the City Hospital, where he was said to be suffering from possible fractures of the skull and jaw, concussion of the brain and severe cuts and bruises of the face and head. His name was placed on the danger list. Ex-Capt. Brennan is married and lives at 15 Woodbridge av.

He retired from the police force two years ago. ANTHRACITE PRODUCERS ASK RATE CLARIFICATION WASHINGTON, March 23 (A. Pennsylvania anthracite producers petitioned the Interstate Commerce today for "reconsideration and clarification" of its recent order allowing a freight-rate increase of 10 cents per 2000 pounds on hard coal. The petition said that despite the intention of the commission to limit the increase to 10 cents a short ton, the anthracite producers have been informed the railroads "intend to publish and file many rates on anthracite which in the aggregate will be increased 20 cents a ton."

March 23 (A. Senator Bone, of Washington, told the Senate today the story that T. V. A. had purchased a donkey for $2500 and sold it for much less was untrue.

He said the "Jack" referred to was not an animal but a mechanical lifting device and that the donkey really had been sold at a profit. Senator Bridges, of New Hampshire, originally regaled the Senate with the donkey story. Senator." said Bridges. "We do have some convictions, however, that we do not intend to surrender to him or anyone else." "God knows I don't want him (Bridges) to surrender his own convictions to me," Norris replied. "I wouldn't want them thrown in my lap.

I have enough sins of my own." HOUSE VOTES TO PERMIT C. C. C. TAKE OLDER MEN WASHINGTON, March 23 (A. The House passed and sent to the Senate today a bill to rermit the enrolment of five men, regardless of age or marital status, in each Civilian Conservation Corps company.

The age limits now are 17 to 23 years. The five older men would provide "a leavening of older, experienced men for junior companies," the House Labor Committee said. CALL FOR $100,000 SURVEY TO REDUCE CITY'S COSTS Favorable action on a resolve providing for a survey of Boston municipal government by a special commission at a cost of $100,000 was urged yesterday by more than two score Bostonians before the Legislative Committee on Cities. Representative Eric E. Nelson of Boston said the survey could result in the saving of $10,000,000 in the city's budget.

He criticized the large number of city employees. The proposed commission would consist of four Representatives, two Senators and three appointees of the Governor, the latter five to be nonresidents of Boston. Capt. Frank M. Doyle of West Roxbury declared Boston is "paying more for our city government than any other city in the country with a per capita cost of S95 instead of the average of fCO." He criticized the high cost of schools despite decrease in students.

Mrs. Hannah Connors, representing the Real Estate Owners' and Tenants Association, also urged the legislation. Thomas Dorgan, the city's legislative agent, asked that the hearing be continued to March 30. week for the New England Confectionery Company in blazoning the candy name, "Sky-Bar," across the sky, Mr. Pike said that each of the letters in the word were about one mile high and that the distance from the first letter to the last letter in the name was about 10 miles.

Continued from the First Page Valley Authority being an executive agency, performing executive functions, and therefore in the executive branch of the Government, the power of removal ought to be in the President." Under a Supreme Court decision involving removal of a postmaster from office, he said, "there would appear to be no question that toe power of removal is in fact vested in the President." The Humphrey decision, involving a chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, dismissed by President Roosevelt, "limited the application of the Myers case, he said, but did not disturb the ruling therein as applied to executive officers." The center of the T. V. A.

row, Dr. Morgan himself, was in Chicago. He told reporters he intended to discuss the T. V. A.

situation with friends, "some of them attorneys." Many expect that he will eventually combat the removal orders in court. But. he said today: "I have made no decision and I have nothing to say now whether I will attack the legality of the ouster." F. D. "Won't Abdicate" In his message to Congress Mr.

Roosevelt said that while it was "clearly the right of the Congress to undertake at any time any fair inquiry into the administration of the Tennessee Valley Authority or its policies," he could not "abdicate" his "constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed." He said he had been "obliged" to find that: "Arthur E. Morgan publicly made grave and libelous charges of dishonesty and want of integrity against his fellow directors, and when called upon to sustain them repeatedly refused to do so; "On the face of the record, charges of the other directors that Arthur E. Morgan has obstructed the work of the Tennessee Valley Authority were substantiated by proof, were not refuted and therefore must be accepted as true; "Arthur E. Morgan was contumacious in refusing to give the Chief Executive the facts, if any, upon which he based his charges of malfeasance against his fellow directors, and in refusing to respond to questions of the Chief Executive relating to charges of obstruction made against him by his fellow directors." Sees Bad Precedent He continued: "Arthur Morgan has repeated the assertion that he wall answer questions only to a committee of the Congress. "Obviously, there can be no objection to hearings before such a committee.

But the Congress will, I am sure, realize that if any member of the Executive branch of the Government, of high degree or low degree, is given the right by precedent to refuse to substantiate general charges against other members of the executive branch of Government and to insist on disclosing specifications only to a committee of the Congress, efficient administrative management of Government would be destroyed in short order."
