Tilsoh. | [Texan and Former Tennes- ‘ sean to Clash Over | Heavy Program. By the Associated Pres: Two sons of Southern sofl, a rugged Texas Democrat and & staunch Ten- | | nessee Republican transplanted to Con- | | necticut, will match wits as leaders of their respective parties in the House | | during the forthcoming session of Con- gress. | " “Fighting Jack” Garner, recognized by colleagues and opponents as a coura- | geous partisan from the ranch regions | of the Lone Star State, and “Col.” John | Q. Tilson, & strict administration man, | have poised their mental rapiers for a | strenuous struggle over one of the heaviest legislative programs to con-| front a regular session in recent years. This will be the Texan's first experi- | ence as leader in a regular session, | and will be the first time a Texan has | been chieftain of the House Democrats. Selected less than a year ago to suc- ceed the former Representative Finis J. Garrett of Tennessee, who was re- garded as a conservative leader, Garner | demonstrated an aggressiveness in the | special session that has occasioned not | a little concern among the majority | leaders as to what his future tactics| | might be. Conducted an Offens Despite the Republicin majority of 102, and some straying ‘e m the Demo< ratic fold. he conducted an off sgainst the Hawley tariff bill which | his friends believed instigated the re- volt in the Senate that brought about the inclusion in the bill of modifica- | tions proposed by House Democrats, Younger in Congress, but older in party leadership in the House, Tilson is eld in high regard by his colleagues for his reliability and sincerity toward them. H: | to work his way through Yale Uni sity, he remained to make his home New Haven. His first-hand knu\\,ledgo\ of problems of Northern and Southern | States was broadened by experience as | an officer in the Spanish-American | War and on the Mexican border. This | | hes been, his friends say, a contribut- | ing factor to his success as leader dur- ing the past two terms. Garner was elected to Congress in | 1902 and long has been recognized as | | one of the most colorful and fearless | personalities in ths House, besides be- ing a relentless partisan. Like Tilson, he was born on a farm. | But, unlike the Republican leader, his| | schooling was limited to one vear. He | studied at his home in Texas, however. | and became a lawyer at the age of 21 years. Shortly thereafter he entered Texas politics and entered Congress t.n his thirty-second year. Ignoring conventionalities at all times, | straightforward and informal in his | | soeech on and off the floor, the Texan | conducts a legislative contest with the sole purpose of accomplishing a desired | Tesult. | Vigorous Thrusts Tempered. His vigorous thrusts which caused | him to be dubbed “Fighting Jack,” how- | ever, are tempered by a sense of humor | and good sportsmanship and the lack of personal malice toward his most bit- | ter_political enemies. With the possibility of a contest over | :uxet eumm:;zeu by an agreement be- | tween party leaders to suj | posed $160.000,000 iricom: ”""&J‘é&". tion, Garner plans to concentrate his | | first_efforts in the regular session on a drive for the acceptance by the House | |of the Senate Democratic-independent | | coalition tariff measure.

By the Associated Press. Proposed restriction of immigration | from Western Hemisphere nations, long a_controversial question, again will be | placed before Congress this Winter, this time in'the form of a bill which Chair- man Johnson of the House immigration | committee would introduce. | " 'While the details of the measure have not been drawn up in final form, John- | son said one plan under consideration would limit entry of allens from all countries of North, South and Central America to a maximum total of 50.000. This would be in addition to the 150,000 limit now in effect on immigration from all other parts of the world. and would | allow a maximum of 200000 aliens to cnter annually, which Johnson believes “is all the country can stand.” ‘Would Not Offend Canada. “If based on the number of nationals in this country. with a liberal maxi- mum for several South American re- ublics from which few immigrants ave come, the restriction will not be offensive to Canada, Mexico or an: other country of the Western Hemis: phere,” he said. ‘The last legislative effort to curtail entry of nationals from other countries of th> Western Hemisphere was made with the Box bill, offered in the last | Democrat, Texas, but which failed to reach a final vote. It would have provided for the ap- plication to this class of immigration of regulations then covering enuy of aliens from Europe. In brief, these regulations limited the number of im- migrants from any one country to 2 per cent of the number of nationals of that country that the census of 1890 showed to be resident in the United States. This system since has been replaced with the national origins plan. Codification Is Sought. Codification and revision of immigra- existing statutes that overlap and to clarifying several |also will be sought by the immigration chairman. He will propose the ap- pointment of a joint House and Senate | committee to undertake this work, the need for which, he said, long had been felt by members of the immigration | committees of both branches of Con- gress. attempt to obtain quick passate of a pending bill which would “forbid entry of alien Communists and provide for deportation of those found here who are ective in a movement to overthrow present organized governments,” | another which would empower judges | “to revoke citizenship where dual na- tionality is being maintained.” FIGHT ON LABOR RULE.

Wilson. However, the committee investigating that Con- test has never made a report and does 1 not_ meet, until tomorrow to consider one. The Wilson-Vare committee has to decide tamorrow whether to allow the | ! request of Vare for a recount in 31| additional counti-s. If it turns down that request then it must make a re-| port to the elections committee in favor | either of Vare or Wilson. So, it will| be several days before the committee can report on this contest, and it may | saveral weeks, if the recount is al- lowed, and Senator Norris will not con- sent to such delay. Senator Watson said yesterday he ex- | pected an amendment would be otfered | o the Norris resolution declaring the | Vare seat vacant. Thus, if the Senate | adopted this resolution 'to deny Vare the seat on account of his campaign | cxpenditures in the primary the seat could be filled by the Governor of Pennsylvania without “regard to the | election contest brought by Wilson. Senator Norris, however, said he would oppose such an amendment. He | said it was up to the Senate to decide | separately whether or not Wilson | actually was elected in the 1926 cam- paign. ~ As a result of his opposition little hope was held out for adoption | of such an amendment. The Norris_resolution comes up on | Tuesday as a result of a previous agree- | To be | displaced, a majority vote is necessary, and Norris does not believe that is pos- sible. On the outcome of the Vare case hinges the ‘participation by Senator an attempt to plead his cause. the oath of office. Vare is expected to reach Washington today or tomorrow. Births I-{éported.
