SECRET VOTE SENATE RULE IS UNDER FIRE Denounced After Roll Call on Secretary West Is Published. BY PAUL R. MALLON, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. —The archiac rule under which the senate sought to keep secret its vote on the confirmation of Roy O. West as secretary of interior was denounced today by recognized constitutional authorities in the senate, following publication of the whole secret ballot by the United Press. Chairman George W. Norris of the judiciary committee which is the recognized authority on legal matters; Senator William E. Borah. Idaho, who forced the senate to consider the Kellogg anti-war treaty in the open recently; Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Montana, the outstanding constitutional lawyer of the senate and others joined in saying the vote was of public interest and should have been made public by the senate itself. They ridiculed the seldom observed secrecy rule. The publication caused an unusual stir among leaders, as never before in senate history has such a vote found its way into public print. Denied Fight in Open Interest also was heightened by the fact that the whole matter was thrashed out vigorously behind closed doors when the West nomination was under consideration last week, the United Press has learned. Opponents of the secrecy system made repeated efforts to have nomination considered in the open senate, but they were voted down. “Secrecy in discussion of nominations is altogether out of date.” Walsh said this morning. “It should never have been sought in this case partciularly when the nomination was considered in public sessions of the senate public lands committee and all the evidence there was made public. “The argument has been advanced that in closed sessions there can be more free discussion of the fitness of nominees for public office and that members will be restrained in assailing the nominees. Norris Hits at Secrecy “Every man under our system of government who asks suffrage of the people, even for the office of President of the United States, must subject himself to whatever criticism may be placed against him.” “Secrecy in such proceedings is illogical,” Norris said. “I didn't hear the West vote announced in secret session, but I asked a newspaperman outside and he told me." “I can only say my vote has been correctly stated by the United Press," said Chairman Nye of the public lands committee. “The publication may lead to some interesting developments.” Nye's hint alluded to discussion among senators about starting an investigation to learn what senator divulged the roll call w’ith a view' to expelling him. were astounded at the accuracy of the vote and some of them thought it could have been obtained only by unscrupulous means, instead of by the usual channels through which executive business ordinarily has become known. The authorities differed over the question of whether newspapers publishing the roll call could be held in contempt, though they all agreed there were too many members of the United Press to make such action at all likely.
