FAILURE WILL MEAN NEW GENERAL ELECTION Present Government in Tight Posi- tion as Dissatisfaction Increases. By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 22.—The ministry of J. Ramsay Macdonald, second Labor government in the history of Great Britain, girded itself today for a battle for its existence. . It was expected that at & meeting of the parliamentary Labor party this eve- ning the. prime minister will ask for & vote of confidence in the ministry’s unemployment program. Failing to achieve it, he probably will ask King George to dissolve Parliament and then will take the question to the country. The situation is the outgrowth of the resignation of Sir Oswald Mosley, Labor convert from Conservative and Independent ranks, as chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, after Mr. Mac- donald and the ministry had failed to indorse plans put forward by Sir Oswald for handling of unemployment.

During the debate on the resolution, Senator Dill, Democrat of Washington, suggested that steps should be taken to have the use of the dial telephone discontinued in Washington. Senator Dill said he was in sympathy with the Glass resolution as far as it went, but wanted to know why the Senator from Virginia did not go fur- ther and seek to eliminate the new type telephone throughout the District of Co- lumbia. Senator Glass replied that he enter- tained the hope that the telephone company would follow that course, to which Senator Dill added that he also hoped the company would take them all out. He said if this was not done he_thought & bill should be introduced. In calling up his resolution for con- sideration Senator Glass said all Senators he had talked with were in favor of it.'

It was not certain yet whether the Zeppelin would stop here before pro- ceeding on to Rio Janeiro, or would wait until returning and stop as it pro- ceeded north to Havana and Lakehurst. An amateur radio operator at Natal intercepted a message from the craft which said: “After dinner Dr. Eckener talked to the passengers and sald he was not yet sure of stopping at Recife (Pernambuco) for water, or salling on directly to Rio Janeiro, ' The day has been overcast, but the Cape Verde Islands frequently broke into view through the clouds—a wonderful panorama.” Short Stop Expected.

SENATE VOTES INCREASED PAY FOR COMMISSIONERS Capper Bill, Calling for $9,000 a Year, Still Requires House Approval. The Senate today the Capper bill raising the salaries of the District Commissioners to $9,000 a year. The bill still requires approval by the House. Because of the classification law, the two new civilian Commissioners, Dr. Reichelderfer and Gen. Crosby, hcg‘n their service at $8,000 a year, the mini- mum of the grade to which their posi- tions have been allocated. This meant that they had to begin at a lower salary than was received by their predecessors. During a discussion of the bill several days ago it was pointed out in the Sen- ate that they could receive $8,500 un- der existing law, but in order to get that amount they would have to raise their own salaries. As originally intro- duced the bill would have fixed the salaries at $10,000 a year, but this was modified to $9,000 before the bill passed.

Further protests against the London naval treaty were heard on Capitol Hill today from members of the high com- mand of the Navy. Rear Admiral Frank H. Schofield told the Senate foreign relations committee he did not regard the treaty as bene- fiting the United States; that he fa- vored more 8-inch-gun cruisers than ‘would be permitted, and that the pact falled to maintain the 5—3 ratio with Japan. Friends of the treaty encountered unexpected difficulties today when they seconded the desire of President Hoover and sought to lay the basis for speedy ratification. Senator Johnson, Republican, Cali- fornia, demanded that the foreign rela- committee hear more than a dozen additional witnesses. Chairman Borah had hoped to conclude tomorrow. Johnson and Chairman Hale of the naval committee both have indicated unfriendlines sto the treaty apd Hale that the hearings before his would continue indefinitely. Hopes Not Abandoned. ‘The_Senate leaders did not give up hope however, of getting the pact to the Senate floor within a week or so and curtailing debate sufficiently to in- sure action at the present session.
