SMITH. FEDERAL POWER CHIEF. IS ASSAILED AGAIN Accused of ‘Star Chamber’ Agreements With Utility on Public Business. Hit firrippt-Howard Xtietpaper Alliance WASHINGTON. May 18 —George Otis Smith, whose position as chairman of the federal power commission recently was upheld by the supreme court despite the senate's recall of his confirmation, today was again uncomfortably in the spotlight.

Le Boeuf Jr., general conusel to the Niagara Hudson power corporation. New' York. ‘At the hearing of the Niagara case next Tuesday," said the letter, dated Dec. 3, 1931, "the same procedure may be followed, if found desirable, as in recent hearings in Milwaukee and in the one now in progress here in Washington; that is. if counsel feels that disposition of any of the questions of fact at issue can be expedited by preliminary conferences, a contnuance foi that purpose may be granted immediately alter the opening of the hearing. "While conferences have been open, we have experienced no difficulty thus far in the matter of disturbing interruptions from outside sources." “This," said Russell, “is an illustration of the attempt of the federal power commission to conceal from the city of Lockport the commission’s negotiations with the Niagara Palls Power Company. "No such letter was sent to the city officials of Lockport. nor to the public service commissioners of New York state. They were not invited to the star chamber proceedings. The city of Lockport consistently was deceived and misled as to the true facts of this case.” Russell asked the court for a writ compelling the commission to hear Lockports application for a prelimAsthma Disappeared Had It 15 Years • I had aathuia for 15 rear*.", sST* Mr-:.

He cited the "preferential clause” in the federal power act which directs the commission, when a municipality and a private corporation are in dispute over water rights, to give preference to the municipality.
