Th junior Senator from Utah, unlike his colleague. Senator Snioot. is a Democrat and has served two terms. "The Colorado River problem." he said yesterday, "is too complicated, there Is too much conflicting testimony, too much divergent sentiment and the underlying questions are too deep and too important for hurried action. We must settle first our attitude toward power projects of alt descriptions.

As any reader of the newspaper can se for himself, there are sharp differences of opinions in Congress as to what should be done with Muscle Shoals. A considerable body of opinion in the Senate is hostile to any proposal that would put the government into active competition with private business. I myself am one of that body. SWEEPING ACTION "Personally. I believe that when the hour comes.

Congress will deal with the problem In Its entirety and not piecemeal, taking into consideration flood control, irrigation, domestic supply and power devel opment at one and the same time but that time, I feel, is not yet. We need more Information, I be lieve, than has been placed before us thus far. Congress is sympathetically disposed but does not yet feel sure of Its footing. There la still a good deal of doubt among the Senators from the Northern States." Senator King, as a member of the Committee on Naval Affairs, believes that the United States, Instead of ranking 6-5-3 with Great Britain and Japan, as contemplated by the Washington Conference, now ranks third in a ratio of 6-3-2. or possibly 5-3-1.

"The treaty entered into as a result of the conference." he said, "has failed, as I believed it would fall when It was ratified. I voted against it for the reasons which have developed since then and feel that events have upheld me. STRONGEST POWER "The United States at the time the conference was called was the strongest power afloat, in capital ships. We were far below Great Britain In submarines, in battle cruisers, in light cruisers and In airplane carriers. That inferiority has continued and is growing larg er while, in the matter of capital ships, we have fallen into third place because the other signatories of the treaty have been able to augment the effectiveness of their battleships by increasing the ela vatlon of their main batteries, by other Improvements In ardnance construction which have lengthsned the range of their secondary bat teries, and by blistering their hulls, as it is called, that is, protecting them against submarine at- NEEDS STRENGTH "I am not a big Navy man.

I am not a Jingo. I do not believe anything In our relations with Japan threatens War. I deprecate anything that might tend to do so. But as long as we have a treaty which purports to fix our naval strength, I believe it ought to oe lived up to. Until disarmament can be made a reality, I believe that the American Navy ougnt to be what it pre tends to be and have fighting strengtn as wen as paper strength.

"As the treaty has worked out, the race in armaments has been transferred from one division of the fleet to another, not extinguished. A flset Is only as strong ss the combined effectiveness of all Its arms, not the single strength of one of them. "Another element entering naval strength must not be forgotten I mean naval bases. Our only base in the Pacific is Pearl Harbor In the Hawaiian Islands. I violate no secret when I say that Pearl Harbor is not a first-class base.

The Pearl Harbor locks are not large enough to accommodate a modern Tale Festival to Arranged 'for Today and Tomorrow Sonoretown tonight and tomorrow will turn out, resplendent and for Christmas festivities at the Plaza, where a great tree, lighted and decorated, will be the pivot of the celebration.

HOUSEHOLD GOODS LEAK; ARE SEIZED Suspicion of Railroad Men Reveals Shipment Contraband Saki as Five cases of "household goods" shipped from San Francisco to a Japanese rooming-house on East Second street would have reached their destination yesterday without hindrance or delay had it not been for the fact that they leaked.

Why a Lot of t'e Haven't Plenty "Of course, It is possible for a man te acquire ease and plenty." out hoc in ine order hostelry.

A padlock has a steel bow, one end of which is jointed and the other secured by the bolt of the lock, according to the Websterian definition. Now, Deputy Sheriff Bond (spell it like "bottled-in-bond," he will tell you) at the head of a dozen deputies went out to the Beverly Hills Hotel yesterday forenoon to fetch the liquor they had sealed up a week ago. The padlock was there all right, but Bond declared it had been tampered with, the seal broken and some of the liquor removed. On the other hand, W. J.

Ford, attorney for the hotel, who was on the spot, exclaimed: "Why look here, you sealed it at the wrong end, where it turns, not where It flips up!" Bond, on still the other hand, held that he could tell if the lock had been opened by- the condition of the wax at whatever end of the bow, and he held that while he had kept the Keys tne iock naa oeen opened. This gave rise to the knotty question, "Which end has a padlock?" SEARCH WARRANT FAILS Mr. Bond threatened to search the rooms of the hotel guests, re ports Stanley Anderson, the hotel manager. Later the deputies returned armed with a search warrant just Issued by Justice of the Peace Powell of Sherman. But Mr.

Ford protested against entry into any of the guests' rooms. Mr. Ford argued that the search warrant could not be general, but specifying the occupant of each room; this on the basis of old English law that every man's house is his castle, and every man's hotel room is his house. In the face of this legal precedent, Mr. Bond desisted and contented himself with carting off between 100 and 150 cases of moldy bottles, champagne, Scotch and dainty cordials.

All this liquor, Mr. Anderson declared, is either owned by the hotel under permit or by the guests, prewar stock duly registered. Some fifty cases of it belongs to William Mead, the capitalist, who moved his private stock to the hotel, where he now resides, when he sold his home some time ago. Mr. Ford yesterday displayed records of his ownership, with- the government permit for removing the liquor to the hotel.

Some of the guests, Mr. Anderson said, hays lived there since enactment of the prohibition statute and their private stock has been in the basement ever since. But all was piled onto two five-ton motor trucks and carted away to the Sheriff's office. The concern with which the hotel employees checked the bottles, and urged care In transporting them showed that thoy hope to get them back by order of the courts. Mr.

Ford has the padlock in his pbeket. GIRL EMPLOYEES WILL SING CAROLS IN STORE Christmas carols will be. sung by seven girl employees of Jacoby Brothers today at the store.
