By the Associated ‘Press. | With President Hoover's recommenda- tion for suspension of the national | ‘origing immigration quota basis laid aside by the Senate, it appears certain | that the new and stricter immigration ! system will go into effect July 1. i The Senate yesterday refused. 43 to 37, to adopt the resolution of ‘Senator | Nye, Republican, North Dakota, to bring up for immediate consideration his resolution for repeal of the new | quota basis. The resolution conse- quently is left with the Senate immigra- tion committee and the committee has voted to postpone indefinitely its con- sideration. | Party Lines Dropped. | THE EVENING .STAR.

FOR_INDIGESTION 25¢ and 75¢ Pkés.Sold Everywhere A Very Smart Party lines were swept aside on the immigration vote, which was accepted #s indicative of the sentiment on Mr. Hoover's recommendation for suspen- sion. Senator Reed, Republican, Penn- sylvania, led the opposition to the Hoover proposal. He had the support of 24 Democrats, including the solid Bouthern representation, and .18 other Republicans. President Hoover already has issued the proclamation _putting the new quota basis into effect July. 1, as re- quired by law, but he did so with a protest and an appeal for suspension. The natfonal origins provision was made a part of the 1924 act, which called for restriction of immigration to 3 per cent of the nationalities repre- sented here in the census of 1890 whilg the national origins basis was being worked out. Threeitimes Congress has postponed putting the new basis into operation. ‘The national origins provisions call for allowing immigration to this coun- try from other countries in poportion to the representation of those popu- l‘l't;om in the American population of 4. Under the new basis annual immigra- tion would be cut from the 168,000 now allowed to about 153,000. _Great Britain, Scotland and Northern Ireland Wwould be given the preponderance of the immigration, while Germany and the Scandinavian countries would lose from their present quotas. Charge Discrimination. Most of the debate hinged around arguments that the new quotas would discriminate against Germany and the Bcandinavian countries. ‘The American Legion indorsed the mational origins quota basis, and this brought an attack from Senator ‘Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, who said Legion had “wrapped itself in the American flag and declared the issue Senators Norbeck, Republican, South and Walsh, Democrat, Massa- chusetts, joined the demand for repeal of the new basis. Senator Allen, Repub- lican, Kansas, asked that the question be postponed another year to permit a “scientific study.” A comparison of yearly quotas under the nt basis and under national origins for countries around which most ©of the controversy centered follows: Pres- National oot origine, England.

By the Associated Press. | ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. June 14— Sheriff Gladstone R. Beattie of Pinellas County today was under $500 bond | pending trial on charges of malpractice | in office growing out of his ‘alleged fail- ure to stop gambling at dog races here | 1ast Winter. ¢ The Pinellas County grand jury re- turned a true bill against the sheriff charging him with malpractice, based | on allegations filed by James F. Bick- | ers, an attorney, who left the county after being flogged by a band of un- identified “men. Sheriff Beattie posted bond for his appearance within a few minutes after | th= indictment had been made public. with the Democratic minority against it. | " The_measure not only authorizes a | reappériionment before March 4, 1931, | of the House on the basis of the 1930 | census and on the basis of the present | membership of 435, but it also provides | for automatic reapportionment of the House after every decennial census. | The House has never revised its mem- | bership since the 1920 census, as many | contend is required by the Constitu- tion. The bill carries $40,000,000 for the taking of the census and stipulates that the census shall be begun next April 1. President to Transmit Census. Under the legislation the President is | directed to transmit to the House at | the short session beginning in Decem- ber, 1930, the results of the census and the allotment of members of the House | under that census. If Congress does | not approve the reapportionment in that | session_the presidential decree then goes \ into effect. ” Senator Wagner, Democrat, New York, author of the Senate provision | placing the census employes under civil | service, led the protest against elimina- tion of this amendment in the final | draft of the bill. He was joined by | Senators Norris, Republican, Nebraska, |and Walsh, Democrat, Montana, who contended it amounted' to a surrender to the “spoils system.” ‘The bill does stipulate that the special agents re- quired for taking the census be em- ploved under civil service regulations, ut, the vast army of enumerators would be left to appointment. and that Bishop McConnell would be | next on the program. | "Mr. Shaw and Bishop McConnell re- fused to announce in advance the sub- ject of their addresses and the bishop would make no comment on his relega- | tion to second place on the program. ‘The motto of the convention profess- ‘ln( belief in “a Christ-like world, we | know no better,” was the subject of an- other fundamentalist-modernist disoute. | However, the motto will prevail and will be the subject of at least one speech | during the convention. | ill Rogers | Says: | BEVERLY HILLS.—Have you been reading about the disgraceful way | the Senate's been carrying on lately? You know our old forefathers that laid out the time that our Congress was to meet knew something. They always held Congress in cool weather. ‘They knew a Senator couldn't stand up under the heat and his position, too. When hot weather hits him, not only his body, but his brain, perspires, and the discharge from both is equally useless. This has been a great lesson to Mr. Hoover. If he held office as long as Queen | Victoria, he would never ecall 'em again when the thermometer is high. \ Complete with a anteed mesh attach- ment that slides easily over the wrist—the lowest price at whith &h'outfit of this quality has ever been offered.
