November 15.—The Chamber of Deputies today continued its de- bate on miscellaneous tovics with the expectation that a vote on the question of confidence in the govern- ment would be reached before ad- journment tonight. It was not known this afternoon whether the vote would be on the general policy of the Fascist government or simply on the government's foreign policy. If the latter is the case, it is understood the former combatant deputies who hitherto have been sympathetic to the Fascisti although not formally belonging to the party, will vote favorably to the government but if the question of domestic policy is in- cluded in the resolutions, the expec- tation is that they will abstain from voting and issue an explanation. Former Premier Giolitti was quoted today by the anti-Fascist Sereno as saying he intended to vote against the ministry, declaring he was not a participant in the opposition but that he was opposed to the govern- ment measures controlling the press and the proposed revision of the con- stitution. There was considerable comment in political circles on a conversation which took place last night between Glolitti and former Premier Orlando. predictions being made that Orlando would follow ~Giolitt's example, Premier Mussolini was expected to speak to the chamber just befors the vote was taken. ing on criminal practices, often seek civil service positions through the influence of alder- men.

This was the impression gathered today by Senator Smoot of Utah.| chairman of the finance committee, who has been an ardent advocate in the Senate for several years of this legislatln, during a conference with the Piesident, in which a variety of his a | subjects appertaining to the adminis- tration’s possible legislative program Senator Smoot said that he thought that there would be an opportunity at this session to achieve some portion of success re- | garding this legislation. He declared | that this matter has been hanging ®or a long time., and that if Con-| gress does not do something at this session, he is going to drop the en- tire matter for all time. He said Congress is fully aware of the need for these bulldings, and that there| should be no necessity for further urging or warning. The members of the Senate and House need not be ceminded, he added, that the records of the Government, as they are now, in many instances, being kept in flimsy and temporary buildings, are in daily peril of being destroyed by fire. Coolidge Realizes Need. President Coolidge ever since his succession to the presidency has been alive to the necessities for addi- tional governmental buildings. He approves of the general plan which has been approved by the Public Bufldings Commission, of which Sen- ator Smoot is chairman 4nd which called for a $50,000,000 program to cover a period of 10 years. The plan, which has the approval of the commission, calls for the erection of these buildings in the Mall, south of Pennsylvania avenue and east of Fifteenth street. The President has let it be known that the buildings he considers most urgent at this time are one each for the Department of Justice, ‘State Department, Depart- ment of Commerce, General Account- ing Office of the Treasury and an archives building.

RENT CASE DECISION REVIEW UNIMPEDED Appellate Court to Place No Ob- stacle in Way of Higher Bench Action in Fight, The District Court of Appeals will place no obstacle in the way of a review of its decision in the housing emergency case of Peck vs. Fink. The court today staved until further order the issuance of its mandate to the Municipal Court for a reversal of a declsion of the latter tribunal up-] holding the Ball rent act. The stay was granted on the application of Attorney John L. Krupsaw, who says he wishes to apply to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of error or a certiorari, by which the decision of Justice Robb, that the housing emergency has passed, may be reviewed. Justice Robb held that as the United States Supreme Court in the Chastle- ton case last April had said the emergency no longer existed there was no constitutional basis for the action of Congress in attempting to extend the life of the rent law until next May. Attorney Louis Ottenberg, repre- senting the owner of the property, will oppose the granting of a wrlt of review by the United States Su- preme Court. November 15— De- -— Assailant of Prince Hanged.

The other three policemen-—sta- tioned at Ninth and F streets, Ninth and G streets and Eleventh and G streets—made no visible effort to en- force the law. scores of pedestrians were caught the traffic whirlpool and had narrow escapes from pos- sible serious Infury, and one of the officers did not even blow his whistle as a warning half of the time, When the reporter who made the inspection picked out his four cor- ners at random, and started from Eleventh and F_streets, he began to believe that Washington's traffic force was making a genuine effort to uphold the majesty of the law. There the policeman in charge of the semaphore was working with the precision of clockwork, and not once did the observer notice a pedestrian who had a “close shave.” There would be a sharp, long blast on his whistle, and up would go his hands, by way of ordering traffic in all directions to stop. Quickly, but carefully, he looked in the directions his traffic would next move. As soon as he felt assured all pedestrians would be out of the traffic streams by the time the nearest vehicles reached them, he turned his semaphore and every one moved without danger. Corner Is Revelation. His corner was a revelation of how beneficial enforcement of the whistle regulation at all corners would be to Washington. There were no un- necessary delays and no jams, and the whole operation never required more than seven seconds each time. Sometimes it was less than that, ac- cording to the number of pedestrians that happened to be crossing the street. Satisfied that the Eleventh street guardian had the system down to per- fection, the reported sauntered on down toward Ninth and F streets. And there he had brought home to him in a most forceful manner the need for enforcement of the law at every corner. The first thing that at- tracted his attention was a jovial- faced policeman of rotund stature. The officer seemed to number as his friends most of the motormen and taxicab drivers who happened past, and half a dozen were greeted with shouted salutations during the period that the reported watched. Finally cne taxi driver appeared who must have held an especially large place in the policeman’s heart, for he stopped him in the middle of the street and (Continued on Page 3, Column 5.)

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. | VIENNA, November 15 —Jugoslavia | has sent a note to Groece, protesting | against the denatioualization of the Serbs in Greek Macedonia and threat- ening to break the alliance if the Greeks continue this policy. This is an incident in the vast ex- | change of population in the Balkans and Anatolia, entailing terrible suf- fering and threatening to disturb the peace. The cases against.which Jugosla protested have occlrred in Vodena, | Cumendje and Helerin. The Greek method is to quarter the immigrants from Anatolia in Serbian homes and to give the fields of the| Serbs to the immigrants, leaving the | Serbs themselves no alternative but to leave. The Greeks are treating the Bul- gars and the Turks in the same way However, the policy of expulsion is not pecullar to the Greeks, as the Serbs, Rumanians and Turks are act- ing in the same way toward the Bul- gars.
