BERLIN, March 28.—A re- markable ngry of a native wom- an apparently raised among apes (rompchlldhood is told in the monthly report of the agent of the German firm of Kristeller, which has plantations in the Kameruns. An elephant hunter saw a group of apes in some trees and shot one, the report runs. He found to his astonishment that it was a colored woman, com- pletely nude, and without the customary tattoo marks. The mystery was investigated by au- thorities, who concluded that the woman must have been brought up from childhood by apes and lived with the group as one of them. ALIEN QUOTAFIGHT HELDUPTOHOOVER ohnson Says Special Session Action on Origins Clause Depends on President. By the Associated Press. Consideration of repeal or postpone- ment of the controversial national ori- | gins provision of the immigration act | at the forthcoming extra session of | @ Congress was said yesterday by Chair- | man Johnson of the Senate immigra- tion committee to depend tipon word om President Hoover. | An opponent of the clause himself, | Senator Johnson declared that if Mr. Hoover gave the word a fight would be | launched against it. He expressed doubt, | however, that any action could be un- dertaken successfully at the extra ses- sion without a signal from the White House. The President expressed his strong disapproval of the national origins pro- | vision last week when he issued the| proclamation, in accordance with the | law, ordering the new quota basis into effect on July 1. It was assumed that he intended to | rest upon that declaration, believing | it to be the responsibility of Congress to undertake the steps necessary to bring about repeal or postponement. The situation is similar to the pres- ent maneuvering between congressional leaders and the President on farm re- lief. In the latter instance, Mr. Hoover is holding that it is up to Congress to start its own business and formulate the legislation. Senator Johnson realizes there is much strength in the Senate for the national origins provision, which dras- tically revises the present quota basis for the various nations, giving Great Britain a large increase at the expense of Germany and the Scandinavian countries. Last_session Senator Nye, Repub- | lican, North Dakota, proposed another postponement in putting the provisions into effect, but the Senate immigration committee defeated his resolution by a vote of 7 to 4.
