‘. Si“ Charges Attitude of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-—Thc
question of American recognition of
the Soviet government of Russia.
1,5”: plunged the Senate into a. protracted
. A, debate yesterday,
The argument was featured by a
c challenge issued by Senator \Viiliam
I. Borah. Republican of Idaho. to
withdraw his support of Russian
Jeoognition "if the State Department
can prove that a single official of the
Soviet Government has advocated
the overthrow of the. American Gov-
' ornment.”
The debate was prompted by See-
retary Hughcs' recent note to the
Soviet Government declining to no-
zotiate for recognition.
Denounce Hughes.
Senators Norris. Republican, of
Nebraska: Brookimrt. Republican. of
Iowa. and \V‘heeier. Democrat, of
Iontana. joined Borah in denounc-
' ing the attitude of the State Depart-
' . merit and the recent note of Secre-
tary Hughes. Senator Lodge. of
Massachusetts. the Republican leader
subsequently announced he would
later address the Senate to produce
“lame facts which can neither he
laughed nor sneered away."
Senator Norris charged the atti-
tude of the State Department to-
ward Russia. was "senseless." He
added:
"1 have no doubt that some man
soon arrested for murder would he
found to be a member of the lit-put»
liean party. But no one will charge
the Republican party with murder.
The fact is the American people are'
being propagandized without a scin-
tiiia of evidence being presented to
support the propaganda. I expect
to one shortly another nationwide
round-up of citizens for deportation
such as happened once before. It
seems the Secretary of State is
merely preparing the way."
Senator Llorali said:
“The Secretary of State had said
he has in his possession evidence
which discloses the purpose of fin:
Soviet Government to plant a red
flag upongfle White House. He mid
the Depn ment of Justice has the
facts, which in turn are endorsed by
the Department of Justice as aulhcn.
tic.
"I ask in all candor then. what is
the! Department of Justice doing?
Why are net those men who conspire
with our foreign enemies to over-
throw our Government arrested. in-
dicted, convicted and sent to the
electric chair? ..
Demand Legal Evidence.
"I'll say this. too, it the Depart-
ment of Justice will send the names
of the men involved or the evidence
it has tending to prove such a. can:
spirncy to the Senate committee on
Education and Labor. of which I am
chairman. l'il promise an open inves-
tigation in which there shall be no
possible escape from the facts.
"I'll go further. If the Senator
(Lodge) can produce the name of
one agent or representative of the
Soviet Government who has advocat-
ed the overthrow of our Govornmcnt
within the last three years. I shall
withdraw my support from recogrh
tion of the Soviet Government."
said Borah. "I'm asking for legal evi-
dence. not propaganda. And it will
not be forthcoming."

his unqualified endorsement of Presi-

pressions of opinion heard on every 1
side around the Capitol yesterday in
the wake of the Detroiter's an- ,

Diligent search into the highways

Democratic parties failed. to dis-
close any one today who did not pro-
fess "satisfaction" with the Ford an-

was under fire in the House to-
day. when a. resolutionfproposlng
an inquiry by the Rules Committee
was introduced by Representative
James A. Frear. Progressive-Repub-
lican, of W’isconsin, who stated
that he would press for action
when Congress reconvencs after
the Christmas holidays.
The resolution. containing about
5,000 words and sixty-one specifi-
cations of the charges against Gov-
ernor Wood. is one of the longest
documents of the kind on record.

The high spot is the implied
charge, that Wood has used his
omco to give concessions for ex-
ploitation of the Philippines in re—
payment of his obligations to con-
tributors to his 81,773,000 campaign
fund when he ran for the Repub-
