Broken deadlocks and elev- enth hour agreements prompted leaders to declare” this the last day|* of the T4th Congress. Measures sent along to the White | House include the employer-em- ployee tax measure for a new rail pension bill while the utility regu- lation, alcohol control and gold suit bills were up for swift final rati- fication today. Flood Control Blocked .. The Senate saw a filibustering onslaught last night that blocked the half milion dollar flood control bill already passed by the House. The Senate sidetracked it for this session after it had been called 2 graft bill by Senator Tydings, Maryland Democrat, and a gigantic pork barrel by Vandenberg of Michigan. ! THe new tax bill vote was slated in’ both: houses for today and the Benate is working on the neutrality measure and the hundred miliion dollar deficiency appropriation car- tying .funds for the new social se- curity program. 4 Fight on Cotton Plan Btruggle between the Farm Ad- ministration and Southern Senators over the new cotton loan subsidy plan was ‘headed for a crucial test in -the Senate. = Senator ' Byrnes, leadinig ‘the fight, sought to sub- Btitute a direct 12 per ceént loan by the Commodity' Credit Corpora- tion for the loan -subsidy arrange- ment "and warned of a filibuster unless he got a vote on the merits of this proposition. The highly disputed Guffey coal stabilization bill finally was ap- ptoved last night and went to the White House where it is reported certain of Presidential signature. After months of pressure by both the Administration and organized labor, the bill sets up a little NRA in the coal industry. Producers opposing the measure have prom- ised a Supreme Court test. This is the latest of the New Deal meas- ures affecting .industry and has been -one' of the major obstacles in blocking adjournment. 4 AAA Strengthened President Roosevelt has signed the bill strengthening AAA. Action has also been completed by- Congress on the bill to forbid after VJanuary 1, suits against the Gov- ernment to collect alleged losses caused by dollar devaluation in ab- rogation of the gold payment claus- es in Government obligations. —————— 2 AMERICANS ARE RELEASED BY JAPANESE Dld Not Take Photographs ‘of Fortified Zone— Susplc:gn Wrong TOKYO.AI' 24.—Gendarmes today said the two youmg Am- ericans, Phillip Naas and Wil- liam Felix, were cleared of any cucpicion in connection with the alicged photegraphing of the fortified zone at Port Tokuyama from the American freighter Golden Mountain, now held at Port Tokuyama for military in- vestigation.

ORDERS EVACUATION ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, Aug 24, — Emperor Halle Selassie has ordered immediate civilian evacua- tion of this city in the event of an Italian air attack. The pro- clamation is regarded as the Gov- Eemment's official acknowledgment it realizes the imminence of war. The Emperor also has ordered all valuable property hidden in sub- terranean caverns. American and other foreigners are remaining calm some believing conflict may yet be averted. The Ethiopian Government is convinced one of Italy's first acts will be to bomb Addis Ababa from the air.

SUIT AGAINST AUTHORITY ON CODES KAYOED NEW YORK, Aug. 24—A suit to recover NRA assessments levied by the Millinery Code Authority has | been dismissed by Supreme Court Justice Aaron J, Levy. The decision was regarded as an | important precedent. It is said that the suit, the first of its kind since the United States Supreme Court held the NRA unconstitutional, will be a factor in any further attempts to sue any of the numerous code authorities formerly located here. Justice Levy asserted, in dismiss- |ing the suit: “The plaintiffs have no cause for action against an in- corporated code authority for mon- eys collected, to be paid out under mistake of law.” MRS.
