(United Press Staff Correspondent) ‘WASHINGTON, May 24.—Masa- nao Hanihara, Japanese ambassador to the United States, will resign his post if President Coolidge signs the immigration bill providing for Jap- anese exclusion, it was authorita- tively learned here tcday. Hanihara feels, it was learned, that there would be no use for him to remain in Washington should the exclusion bill become a law. If’, however, Mr. Coolidge vetoes the bill, even though the veto were overridden, Hanihara would desire to remain here, as he would. feel himself in accord with the adminis- tration. Whether he would be per- mitted to do so would rest with the Japanese government. The immigration bill was return- ed to the White House today by the state department where a re- port on it was prepared at the pres- ident’s request. Action is now up to Mr. Coolidge and it is not thought he will delay, though he has until midnight, May 29, to sign or veto It. PRES.

Fat Man Wins Big Victory in Heat Handicap PITTSBURGH, Pa.—(United Press.)—If you are fat you don't get hot in the summer, for it is only the lean ones who suffer from the rays of old Sol, This was discovered by «the United States Bureau of Mines workers here in tests and thus an- other accepted myth crumbled. Fat men do get warm in the summer time, but they are not hot compared to thelr thin broth- ers, the tests showed. In # spe- <ially constructed room expert- ments were made to ascertain just how heat conditions affect miners, Fat and thin men were taken into the hot room and when they came out of the modern inferno they were not so nearly exhausted as the thin men. The stout men, however, lost more weight then the thin ones. Pulse rate, rather than rise in body temperature, apparently de- termines the extent of discomfort caused by high temperature. FARM AELIET GILL. SURVIIES FIRST ATTACKS BY DALE VAN EVERY. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May 24.— The MeNary-Haugen farm relief bill suc- cessfully resisted early attempts to amend it in the house today but it made little progress toward enact- ment.

At the same rato, it would require a month of legislative days to complete the first reading of the bill. The anticipated attempt to strike out the enacting clause was not samde. Instead, Reprenentative As- well, Louisiana, ranking Democrat on the agricultural committee moved to substitute the entire Curtis-As- well bill, This bill would create an interstate marketing as does the so-called Yakum plan, This move was ruled out of order and no appeal was made. In rapid succession the Rainey and Norris-Sinclair bills, rimilarly offered, also were rul out.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., May 24.— The Methodists today went on rec- ord in favor of pacificism, but a greatly tempered pacificism as com- | pared with the orlginal anti-war res- | olution presented by the general | conference two weeks ago. The resolution today carried al- most unanimously only one amend- ment was aCded to the report of the specia! committee. The amendment demanded that conscription of wealth and labor “be a counterpart of any future conscription of hu- man life.” The amendment caused some dis- cussion, but there was no bitterness exhibited at reading of the original anti-war resolution. ‘The new resolution provides for a world wide conference of church | workers to plead the cause of peace, | for America to enter the world court and for President Coolidge to call another disarmament conference. The original antiwar resolution was couched in terms condemning war under any cause, It resulted in many letters reaching the conference asking that the resolutioh be de- feated. Many of those who voted for the bitter anti-war resolution were call- ed traitors by their fellow delegatse. Today's resolution stirred up no en- mity. ——>___ MOVIES, $7; CHURCH, LINCOLN, Neb—(United Press.)
