Of course, as we all know, the BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1936 Measures Merit More Than | Ordinary Consideration Washington, Jan. 3. — () — The Democratic leadership of the house desires “as short a session of congress | as is consistent with the public in-| terest” while the Republican leader- ship called for an end to a “rubber stamp” attitude. The following statements, pre- viewing the session were written for the Associated Pres& by Represent | atives Bankhead and Snell: Representative Bankhead: ocrat): “It is undoubtedly the desire of the administration, as well as the mem- bers of the majority party in both branches of congress to have as short session of congress as possible con- sistent with the public interest and to meet any pressing situations that may arise from time to time, par- ticularly in view of the possibility of some adverse decision by the supreme court on the measures now pending before it.” “The primary objective in the house will be to dispose of the annual ap- Propriation bills as speedily as pos- sible consistent with a thorough con- sideration of the merits of each bill. “None of us as yet knows what the president’s budget message will con- tain, but I am sure that it will be the policy of the president and the de- sire of congress to pare down all ap- propriation bills to the lowest pos- sible limit consistent with absolute necessity for proper government oper- (Dem- benus bill will come up for consider- ation Jan. 13. It is my opinion that it will pass by a very large majority and in the event of a presidential veto that the house will pass it over presidential veto” Representative Snell: (Republican). “The present session of congress necessarily faces many important controversial problems of legislation. “The appropriation bills, on account: of the spendthrift policy of the ad- ministration, and the many new ac- tivities of the federal government not definitely defined by law, will need more than ordinary consideration and debate. “The questions of bonus, neutrality, and ship subsidy, already on the ad- ministration’s program, all are ex- tremely controversial. “The day for passing legislation un- der the guise of ‘emergency’ is over. The people of the country expect us carefully to consider each measure. “The Republican minority will in- sist upon proper consideration being accorded not only the appropriation bills but all other major proposals.” TWO DIE IN FLAMES Cleveland, Jan. 3—(#)—Two men died from burns Monday and 13 other aged men and women, rescued by fire- men and neighbors, were in hospitals, after flames partly wrecked the Joanna Home for the Aged Friday night. ) 2 te eee | They Won’t Drive ; | On Elevated Again J Detroit, Mich.

A nephew of the imprisoned Ras Hailu, erstwhile governor of Gojjam, was blamed directly for the trouble. Duce Relies on Force Domestic dissension in Italy—if any —has not been officially recognized. Premier Mussolini was represented in informed quarters, however, as main- taining the same position he did a decade ago when he said “when two elements conflict and are irreconcil- able, the solution is force.” Any criticism of Fascist leadership, it was believed, might come from de- lay in the campaign of conquest on the Ethiopian fronts together with re= sults from League of Nations sanc- tions. In Paris Friday, the Leftist news- paper Oeuvre, which is hostile to Fascism, carried reports of a mutiny of Italian soldiers in Italy in which a Fascist militiaman was said to have been killed and several soldiers in- Civilians Join Revolt The mutiny, the newspaper stated, took place as a group of infantrymen was preparing to leave for Ethiopia. Civilians were reported to have joined in an anti-war demonstration. Oeuvre also reported a mutiny aboard an Italian oil tanker, off Ru- mania. Heading the Ethiopian loyalty cam- paign was the Abuna (Bishop) of the Coptic Christian church who signed the appeals. The situation in Gojjam province has become dangerously worse, informed sources disclosed. The Swedish government agreed to assist the Swedish Red Cross in rais- ing funds to finance an investigation into the bombing of a Red Cross unit by Italian aviators on the southern Ethiopian front.

M. President Roosevelt will begin delivery of his message on the state of the union to a joint session of congress about 8 p. m. central standard time or 7 p. m. mountain standard time. All networks of the major broadcasting companies will relay the address to the nation. of the 74th congress at noon Friday coincident with introduction of dis- puted neutrality and bonus payment bills. Although both senate and house agreed unanimously to recess until evening for President Roosevelt’s un- usual report on “the state of the union,” Rep. Snell the Republican leader rebuked the plan. “Will not this message stand the light of the usual midday sun?” he demanded while a theretofore jolly house listened seriously. He contended the choice of a night delivery, which will make possible a wider radio audience, was a “cheap attempt” to use the message politi- cally. Senate All Decorum In contrast, the 20-minute senate session was all decorum. The deaths of Senator Long and Senator Schall of Minnesota were regretted, Senator Benson of Minnesota was sworn; and Senator Glass of Virginia was eulo- gized in connection with his 78th birthday Saturday. Then the senators recessed. Snell said he knew he had a right to object to the Democratic leader's request for unanimous agreement to recess, and: “I also well know that the present majority under the lash of the execu- tive is prepared to break all preced- ents, as it has many times in the past, to carry out orders from the White House. “In my judgment, if you yield to this order, you are not properly per- forming the duties of the majority in maintaining the dignity and preroga- | tives of the house of representatives.” Agree Nevertheless The agreement was. reached never- theless. Numerous bills were introduced be- fore the flareup. Outstanding were those of the administration seeking some discretionary embargo powers for the president, and of the allied vet- erans’ organizations for a compromise bonus payment plan, Awaiting what President Roosevelt would have to say this evening, many of the legislators obviously were ready to go to the mat over whether the neutrality policy should be made man- dator~ by congress and whether or how to redeem the veterans’ compen- sation certificates. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States opened up against the compromise bonus bill, contending it would cost $1,227,000,000 more than congress originally intended. House members back of it went ahead just the same. F. D. R.’s Attitude Uncertain Some friends of President Roose- velt, declining to be quoted by name, expressed the belief he would not ac- cept this bill, Some of them felt he might be receptive to a measure along the lines of the Byrnes-Steiwer compromise, under which a veteran who cashed his certificate immedi- ately would get about 97 per cent of its maturity value.
