DELAYS POINT WAY | TO EXTRA SESSION Wishes of Members May Be Upset by Jam Forcing Congress Call. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. An extra session of Congress is now almost certain. Delays in the legisla- tive process have been such that with only a few weeks remaining of the present session there is likely to be much important legislation left unfin- ished, even without forcing the issue by dilatory tactics, as is sometimes the case when minority elements wish to compel an extra session. Opposition to the idea of Qaving the new Congress assemble earlier than next December comes principally from the business element of the country, who feel that the economic situation ‘would be psychologically improved if finished its business on March 4 and took a rest until next December. During the last fortnight, however, indications have come to members of Congress from various quarters - that, aside from the business group, the idea of an extra session is more or less matter of indifference, but that an ex- tra session is being urged on account of the economic depression itself. Argue for Session. Admitting that the present crisis is one of the worst in the history of the country, many members of Congress are saying that it would be a mistake to leave the country entirely in the hands of the executive branch of the ‘Government. Should an emergency arise requiring a sudden call for an extra session, the damaging effect on business would probably be extensive, because it would tend to accentuate a th:'o‘retlcll condition which might not exi ‘With the power to raise money to levy bond issues and otherwise to ap- propriate for current needs solely in the hands of Congress, the opinlon is being advanced now by Senators that the public would not understand a sit- uation in which members of Cor ‘were at home and the machinery of the legislative branch was stopped from March to December.

DISPUTES RIGHT TO FORCE VACCINATION IN SCHOOLS Chicago Secretary of Taxpayers' League Files Suit Against City Health Commissioner. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 24.—The right of school and health officials to force children to submit to vaccination was questioned today by Mrs. Helene B. Joseph, secretary of the Taxpayers and Voters' League. She filed suit for an injunction against Dr. Arnold H. Kegel, city health commissioner, and Dr. Isaac D. Rawl- ings, head of the bureau of commun- icable diseases, to restrain them from forcing children, under threats of ex- pulsion from school, to submit to vac- cinations. She alleged the State Supreme Court recently ruled there is no law by which authorities may force vaccinations upon children without the consent of their parents.

IT doesn't seem possible th;,flmch a disagreeable topic as Chicago gangsters could be made into a highly amusing comedy, but such is exactly what Jack Oakie has done in “The Gang Buster,” which opened yesterday at R-K-O Keith's. Oakie, in “The Gang Buster,” is practically the “whole show.” He “busts” his way into a job, into the heart of the “girl of his dreams” and then finally, breaks up two of the most murderous gangs in a large metropolis, famous for its different rackets. Familiarly known as Cyclone, Oakie takes the part of a small town insurance agent, who has gained his name by his methods of selling cyclone insurance. He is transferred from the small town office to the big city, where he immediately sells insurance to a prominent lawyer. Cyclone meets the lawyer's daugh- ter,” Sylvia (Jean Arthur), while selling insurance to her father and immediately falls in love with her. He asks if he may call that evening. ‘When he arrives at her home, he is told by the distracted father that she has not returned. The phone rings at that moment, and the father is told by the chief of the gangsters that the girl has been kidnaped. Cyclone says he will find her. He is warned not to try, but, undaunted, he goes forth and stalks from one deadly peril to another. The way Cyclone works his wa into the very heart of gangland, armed only with a monkey wrench, with which he knocks the heads of a few careless henchmen, and¥in the end brings about the capture of the chief of the gang, would make even the most “hard-bolled” gangster laugh. A man-to-man fist fight, at the end of the picture, should lend added sttraction to picture for all “fight fans.” In “The Gang Buster” Oakie es- tablishes himself in the foremost ranks of Jaugh-provoking comedians. G. 8. B. Moran and Dressler Stir Columbia Audiences. THAT priceless pair, Polly Moran and Marie Dressler, have again combined to produce one of those much too rare cinema achievements —a really funny comedy. featured this week at Loew's Co- Jumbia. o In order to rmit the aching sides of the audience to relax for a while, as well as some of the roars which reach the rafters to quiet down enough to hear the spoken lines, & bit of drama is put into the story toward the end. These serious momen!:wlnl;o ve M:ln; Dreulzrm. B etate e et tility as an actress. Despite the fact that there is a certain pathos about the Dressler drama, nevertheless she is far more entertaining as & ‘There is & real story to “Re- ducing,” as there usually is to Marie Dressler's comedies. The play opens with Polly Roche (Polly Moran), the owner of & pros- perous beauty parlor, telling her pretty, _spoiled daughter Joyce (Sally Eikers) that she has sent money to her poverty-and-children- encumbered sister in South Bend to come to New York, where she, Polly, will give work arnd a home to the family. N One next gets & picture of Polly's sister, Marie Truffile (Dressler), leav- ing South Bend with her husband (Lucien Littlefield) and her three children, one of whom is a pretty daughter, Vivian (Anita Page). ‘The scene in which Marle buys the tickets to New York, fishing around in the ample regions above her waist where she has deposited her money, which has slipped, and the following scene in the sleeping car, Wl Marie attempts to climb into an upper berth, are alone worth the trouble of parking your car or wait- ing in line for a ticket. Laugh follows laugh upon this trip of the Truffie family to New York and they continue on through Marie's initiation into the secret’s of Polly’s beauty parlor, where Marie is given a chance to work, conducting a class in reducing exercises. However, the family waters of the Roches and Truffles are soon ruffied by Vivian Truffle stealing from Joyce Roche her beau, John Beasley (Wil- liam Collier, jr.). Vivian at the same time temporarily loses interest in her own beau, & young man, Tommy Havely, from South Bend. Tragedy is about to ensue for Joyce when Aunt Marie steps in and saves the situation. The scene between Marie and her niece Joyce affords an opportunity for Miss Dressler to do some very excellent serious acting. Lucien Littlefleld, as Marie's mail- carrier husband, and a stuttering ticket agent at the railroad station are quite as funny in their roles as the two feminine stars. ‘Two short-reel comedies, a dog reel and animated cartoon, as well as a news feature, give added entertain- ment to this week's bill at the Co- lumbia. G. 8. 8. “Birth of a Nation” at Rialto With Added Sound Effects. RA'ITL! of gunfire, clatter of horses’ hoofs and roars from as- sembled masses of people have been added to “The Birth of a Nation,” which is offered in all its original glory at the Rialto Theater. Those to whom the Griffith production has always been a source of inspiration and a renewal of surging emotion will find that, while it is the same old film, the addition of these fea- tures without dialogue, and with the orginal accompaniment reproduced by mechanical means, augments their appreciation. It is also of in~ terest to the true motion-picture fan that an opportunity is offered smoothness in action fected in the intervening years, and that certaln new methods of creat- ing dramatic effect have been evolved as the art has achieved more subtle approach to the realities of life. The passing of Wallace Reid and one or two others of the Griffith com- pany has removed active film participation some of the figures in this company, but it is of interest to view the roles which brought fame to some of the principals in “The Birth of a Nation” It is quite likely that in the compromise between the new and the old which the Rialto presents there will be much interest, because it recreates the unforgotten story of the days of ;veocnumcnon following the Civil ar. The Rialto also presents Graham McNamee and his newsreel, the ex- pert Floodas organ selections and one of the most entertaining and skillful of its cartoons wgh music. .

With no par- ticular cinematic flourishes, and zealously truthful to its printed an- cestor, the picture follows along swiftly and convincingly until “death do us part” at the end. GANDHI NOT EAGER TO LEAVE PRISON Desires All Imprisoned Members of National Congress Be Given Freedom. By the Assoclated Press. POONA, India, January 25 (Sunday). —Millions of Indians are excited over the prospective release of Mahatma Gandhi from prison today or soon af- terward, but the Nationalist general sima himself apparently is unconcerned. ‘Those who saw him yesterday say Gandhi showed no enthusiasm over his prospective release, perhaps, it was sald, because he is not eager to leave jall unless all imprisoned members of the All-Indian National Congress a treated likewise. In the meantime the Mahatma is said not to have started packing, so it is believed here he may not finally leave the gates of Yeroda prison for 24 hours after definite orders' for his freedom arrive. He has many books and other effects to gather up. Great crowds of Nationalists assem- bled as near the as the authori- ties would permit yesterday, hoping to witness the departure of their leader, but as it became uncertain just when he would get out, the throngs dissi- pated soon after nightfall.

By the Associated Press. GENEVA, January 24.—The Coun- cil of the League of Nations topped off ® week of laborious sessions tonight by composing the. inflammatory German- Polish minority question with a settle- ment halled in Geneva as one of the most important decisions of the League in recent years. In effect the council unanimously condemned the activities of certain pa- triotic organizations in Poland, which were charged with violent acts against the German minority, and summoned the Polish government to break off all connections with these bodies. Further, the Warsaw government was asked to report to the council before its session next May what measures had been taken to execute the League's ‘mandate. In addition to its action on the minorities question, the council issued a call for a world disarmament con- ference to begin February 2, 1932. Geneva was named as the site for the parley, providing arrangement can be made in advance for the proper hous- ing and entertainment of the hundreds of delegates, observers and neéwspaper men who will attend. Adopt Opium Report. Another decision was the adoption of the report of the Opium Advisory Com= mittee, providing that the Interna- tioal Oplum Conference May 27 shall consider revision of the present nar- cotic treaty so as to include all narcotic drugs, and leaving the con- ference free to consider all schemes for limitation of production and export. The German - Polish settlement, League quarters believe, will have a wholesome effect on the whole of trou- bled Europe. The question has been one of the gravest to come before re- cent sessions of the Council, and any misstep in treating it was considered fraught with possibilities of serious danger. Henderson Congratulates Body. Summarizing the results of the de- cision, Foreign Minister Arthur Hender- son of Great Britain, president of the Council, congratulated that body and the Polish and German members for an agreement which, he said, was vital to the maintenance of peace. He appealed to both the Polish ma- jority and German minority in Silesia to “i ‘that it is in their true interests to co-o] te loyally with the lg‘overnme_nt which they must ive.” At the request of representatives of Peru, Venezuela and Guatemala, the Council decided tonight to place the question of nationality of wives on the PEN WOMEN HEAR VARIED PROGRAM Learn of Africa, Development of ‘Washington, 0ld-Age, Cuba and Arabia.

Beliet - that officers of the Davis- Brown Campaign Committee had broken State laws was expressed yesterday by Chairman Nye of the Senate Campaign Funds Committee in virtually ending the Pennsylvania election inquiry. Nye, who wants to unseat Senator Davis, said he felt statutes requiring committee treasurers to handle all cam- paign funds had not been complied with by officers of the Campaign Committee, Nye read the law on this point after Samuel M. Vauclain, treasurer of the committee which conducted the cam- paign for Senator Davis and Francis Shunk Brown, defeated in the race for Governor, had testified $65,700 had been received and expended by officers other than himself. Meant to Hide Nothing. The North Dakota Senator asked Vauclain if this were not a clear viola- tion of the law. Vauclain replied he was not a lawyer and did not know. He added that while he “hesitated” to include the $65,700 in his campaign report because the money was handled by others, he did so in the belief the two men were of unquestioned integrity. “There was no inclination to con- ceal anything,” he said. Bernard Myers of Lancaster, chair- man of the committee, and William R. Douglas of Camp Hill, one of the man- agers, were named by Vauclain as those who handled the additional funds. He said it was possible they received and |to disbursed the funds during his many absences from the office. Douglas corroborated this. “Vauclain was away from his office often,” he testified. “The county chair- man would come in from up-State and Meyers and I would sit down with them and figure out how much money could be legitimately used and then 80 out and try to get it.” Didn’t Include Bills. Nye said the Vauclain report to his committee showed expenditures of $129,693, or $180,000 less than that re- ported to the State. Vauclain said the $129,603 was all the expenditures he knew of up to the day he appeared before the Nye Com- mittee. He did not include unpaid bills because he was not asked for these, he said. ‘The $180,000 included the $65,700 expenditure_and over $100,000 in un- paid bills, In the $65,700 was included a $15,000 loan from Charles B. Hall, Philadelphia councilman, and several contributions from Willlam S. Vare, who was denied a seat by the Senate h‘eceame of excessive expenditures in 1926. Douglas and several other witnesses told of Davis' popularity and said the fight was concentrated on the governor- ship. lgou(lu said, “We had seven candi- dates on the ticket and if one-seventh of the expense of the ticket were charged to Davis it would do him an injustice.” STUDENT VIEWPOINTS WEIGH WITH EDUCATORS Modernization Suggestions Declare Interest of Enrolled Personal Fundamental Element.

Liberal arts colleges were warned that the important role they have layed in cultural life will be lost and they themselves cease to survive unless they learn to harmonize increasing con- flict between vocation and culture. ‘Teachers wers redefined as persons who should not be completely controlled by law and bureaucratic regulations to the destruction of their own best qual ities, but who should be “free, intelli- gent and unafraid in the adventure of civilization.” Women Demand Vote.

MARYLAND WARDEN RENEWS PLEA TO FEED GAME AND SONG BIRDS On Verge of Starvation Because of Drought and Cold, Lecompte Says. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, January 24—State Game Warden E.
