House Ways and Mean Committee ask- ing that those supporting prohibition be afforded an_ opportunity to voice their opinions when hearings open be- fore that committee next week. Edward B. Dunford, attorney for the Anti-Saloon League, sald a committee had been formed at yesterday’s meeting of leaders to present opposition’ to pro- posed prohibition changes. The letter to the two committees was sent, he said, “because of the precipitate action by House leaders seeking to force an immediate vote upon the submission to States of some form of resolution looking toward repeal or modificatin of the eighteenth amendment without any opportunity for those opposed or fa- voring the legalization of the liquor traffic to be heard and because some features of these resolutions have never been discussed before committees of Congress or elsewhere.” Favors Conventions. A “wholesome precedent” was the way Representative La Guardia, inde- pezdent New York Republican, today described the plan of submitting repeal of the eighteenth amendment to State conventions instead of Legislatures. Secretary of the House Republican wet bloc, La Guardia, who was defeat- ed for re-election, said “now with pro- hibition out of the way, my remaining legislative days will be spent in a con- tinuing fight to see that the people g:ve something to eat along with their er.” Since “great economic changes must be brought about if we are to save our Republic,” La Guardia sald the es- tablishment of a system of submitting constitutional amendments to conven- tions would be helpful. “So much has been said about pro- hibition in the last 10 or 12 years, and the people themselves never have had a chance to express themselves nation- ally on that question alone,” he said. note will renew the assertion that post- ponement of the $20,000,000 payment d“xe( Pt wc“un ot x::yrimd how- tponement is n , how- ever, mr Hehflluu!‘. it éx ?id. ltl ":g’ to pay despite the threat of serious op- po.smon in the Chamber of Deputies.

A two- thirds vote would be 286. However, Mil- ligan said, there undoubtedly will be a number of absentees. He recalled the vote rejecting the Beck-Linthicum amendment was 227 to 187, for a total of 414. Of the “nay” votes, 114 were Democrats and 113 Republicans.

The first note presented by Great Britain asking for an extension of the moratorium and a reconsideration of war debt ments was presented November 10. France made similar representations November 11. Belgium did the same on November 15 and Poland, Czechoslovakia and Latvia sent memoranda to the same effect at later dates. Answers Were Similar. The answers of the United States to all these notes were essentially the same. This Government declined to make any promises concerning the mor- atorium and explained that the ques- tion of reconsideration of war debt agreements must be taken up by Con- gress, which has authority to act The war debt payments from 10 coun- tries due on December 15 total more than $123,000,000. h The payments due from Britain then ‘are $30,000,000 principal and $65550.- 000 interest.

Crawford, property clerk of the Po- lice Department. The jewels will be surrendered to the wife of the noted author or to her attorneys, Fischer, Bendheim and Fischer, after, three days. Located in October. The property came into possession of the police when Detective Sergt. C. E. Warfield found them in possession of Jay La Rue, alias Borton, October 11. There is nothing in the papers to show whether the jewels had been lost or stolen as the jewels are de- scribed in the writ as one sapphire and diamond platinum rectangular bracelet watch, 44 diamonds and 16 sapphires, and one aquamarine diamond brooch, oblong in shape, and surrounded by 52 small diamonds. Mrs. Tarkington places a value of $2,150 on the jewels, according to the papers. Detective Warfleld sald he saw La Rue pawning the jewels in a shop just over the District line. “He didn't look good to me,” the detective said, “and I followed him. He got away in the traf- fic, but was picked up on a lookout four deys later.” A woman named Cynthia La Rue was arrested with the man. He was turned over to police of Daytona, Fla., while she was sent to the Philadelphia au- thorities. A large quantity of jewelry was taken from them. Police communicated with Mrs. Tar- kington when they discovered the name “Booth Tarkington” on the back of the watch. She told them the jewels had been stolen from her home about Sep- tember 4. Police said they could not turn the fewelry over to Mrs. Tarkington with- out a court order as La Rue had re- fused to sign a release. DEMOCRATS PLAN “SENATE PROGRAM OF WIDE RANGE (Continued From First Page.) them, they have this year received an overwhelming mandate from the people to put into practice the issues on which the campaign was so successfully con- | ducted. The country is expecting neither delay nor evasion, and the Democratic party in the Senate will do its best to see that immediate steps are taken to carry out campaign promises. “Everything that the Democrats can do to prevent obstruction or interference with the enactment of legislation de- signed to benefit the country as a whole will be done. The presentation of a definite and logical progfam is, of course, vital to such a purpose. It should, and I believe, will, contain only the essentials which are necessary to carry out the expectations of the Amer- ican people, “There is, in come%unce, no reason 1 can foresee why the short session should not lay much of the ground- work necessary to national recovery. It is certainly the intention of the Demo- crats to do all in their power to make use of every moment and every oppor- tunity that presents itself between now and March 4 to be of actual service to the Nation. “The specific form of the legislation which the Democrats in_the Senate are to offer will, I hope,” be developed speedily. Conferences in which all Democratic Senators will take part will begin at once so that the various meas- ures agreed upon may be presented to the Senate at the earliest moment.” ‘The program outlined by Senator Robinson, if it should be put into ef- fect, might make unnecessary a call of a special session immediately after March 4 by President-elect Roosevelt. Many of the Democrats are anxious to avold a special session next Spring. ‘They hope to give the new President an opportunity to be firmly established with a smooth-running administration before he calls Congress into session.

Su’s Forces. By the Associated Prees. CHANGCHUN, Manchuria, December 1.—The Japanese Army set out on the frozen, snow-covered plains of North- west Manchuria today to make good its threat to wipe out the Chinese rebel forces under Gen. Su Ping-Wen, even though the lives of 150 Japanese host- ages may be jeopardized. The objective of the Japanese com- manders will be the recapture of al- most one-fourth of Manchuria, lying against the Soviet border, and the an- nihilation of forces allled with Gen. Su, numbering probably 30,000. The Japanese vanguard of cavalry and infanury rode over the frozen ter- rain in motor trucks northward from ‘Tsitsihar, the famous outpost city that sheltered the late Chinese general, Ma Chan Shan, so long in 1931. Vanguard at Chalantun. ‘The advance contingent reached Chalantun last night, 90 miles north- west of Tsitsihar. The main body of troops was some distance behind, bivouacking for the night at Chant- zushan. The first fighting occurred just be- fore dawn yesterday mnear Fulaerchi, north of the Chinese Eastern Railway, when the Japanese guards surprised the Chinese force under Gen. Chang Tien-Chu, one of Gen. Sus lieu- tenants. The Japanese said in every brush so far they had emerged victorious, the Chinese retreating. The advance was facilitated by the frozen roads, but the sub-zero weather, common to the Manchurian Winter, worked hardships on the troops. Defied Japanese Army. Gen. Su last Fall renounced his al- legiance to the new Manchurian State of Manchukuo and defied the Japanese army to come and get him. He in- trenched himself west of the great Khingan Mountains and took over the City of Manchuli, the Chinese East- ern Railway's border city leading into Soviet Russia. ‘The Chinese general captured more than 300 Japanese. He has released all but 150 through the good offices of the Soviet government. Although the Japanese said Gen. Su had agreed to meet them and negotiate differences, they insisted his “stubborn attitude” compelled them to take steps to punish him, even though the action should en- danger the lives of his Japanese host- ages. ‘MOTHER GOOSE’ REVIVED AT P.-T.

The married per- sons section provides that when a re- duction in force is to be made in an office married persons must be dismissed first if the husband or wife also is in Government, service. McKellar Outlines Views. Senator McKellar, in outlining his views, said: “Of course, until we see what re- ductions Mr. Hoover recommends in his annual message next week, it is difficult to talk about amounts. There are some services that'we all ought to agree should be cut down. We should strike out the air mail and ocean sub- sidies amounting to some $75,000,000; Shipping Board building construction fund, $35,000,000; magazines, some $25,- 000,000; Army and Navy items together of $150,000,000; building operations, $75,000,000; useless bureaus, $25,000,- 000. These are just some of the re- ductions that we might well make dur- ing this period of depression. I be- lieve, of course, we ought to have a good Navy, but we could postpone Naval activities to the extent mentioned for a little while.” Against Furlough Plan.

Mills. By the Assoclated Press. CINCINNATI, Ohio, December 1.— Opposition to “prison labor in every State” was expressed in a resolution adopted unanimously by the American Federation of Labor Convention today. ‘The resolution protested particularly against “the policy of the Norton, Va., Reformatory employing prisoners on skilled labor.” Clyde M. Mills of Washington, repre- senting the Typographical Union, said: “I want the vote on this resolution to be an expression of opposition to prison labor in every State.” He said the Maryland prison, in Baltimore, “is more a manufacturing plant than a prison.” Asking “the moral and financial sup- port” of the Federation, James D. Graham of Montana, said “a fight against lower, wages has been started in Butte, Mont., representing organized labor's first stand for a showdown.” Graham was cheered as he said stores had been closed within the last two days at Butte and that a general strike, led by clerks opposing a 20 per cent wage cut, was on. Radio Advertising Hit. Radio advertising was hit in a reso- lution referred to the executive council. Introduced by Paul Scharenberg of the California State Federation of Labor, the resolution urged that the “council, if feasible and practical, attempt to se- cure national legislation that will have for its purpose the prohibition of long advertising lectures and speeches over the radios of the country, limiting ad- vertising by radio to an announcement of the name of the sponsor of the pro- gram and the produce or merchandise such sponsor may be selling.” The federation, too, went on record for legislation to “protect” the petro- leum industry. In resolutions presented by Grafton J. Fox of the Tulsa Central Labor Union, and adopted unanimously, the convention declared: “In the interest of hundreds of thou- sands of laborers in the United States dependent directly or indirectly upon the petroleum industry, we favor legis- lation having for its purpose the pro- tection of the petroleum ind of the United States against the flood of cheaply produced foreign ofl coming into our markets.” The delegates still have to choose & convention city for next year and elect officers. Invitations have been received from Washington, St. Louis, Savannah and Chattanooga, but sentiment ap- peared to favor Washiugton because of plans to unveil a memorial there to Samuel Gompers. Convention officials said there was a possikility of adjournment tonight. Strikes will be only “a last resort” in efforts to establish unemployment in- surance and the 30-hour week for the American working man, leaders of the Federation said. ‘The insurance plan, which would be paid for by employers and administered by the States, was adopted almost unanimously yesterday. The six-hour day and five-day week was ratified Tuesday under similar circumstances. Green Threatens “Force.” President Willlam Green and numer- ous other Federation leaders were among those who advocated peaceful attempts to gain the objectives, but Green himself said, “We will use force, if necessary, to obtain our demands” for the shorter work week. By “force,” Green explained he meant “strikes, boycotts and picketing.” W. J. McDonough, delegate of the Building Trades Union, said this or- ganization, like other unions, is opposed to striking except as a last resort, “but we are willing to strike for unemploy- ment insurance, shorter hours or any- ihmz else that will better the workers" lot.” The Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stable- men and Helpers’ Union, its president, Daniel J.

Senator Long of Louisiana discussed legislative matters with Mr. Roosevelt yesterday. He said he expected to press legislation at the coming session to fix limits of $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, re- 5] vely, upon the amount of money that a person might either earn an- nually or inherit. H:l‘e‘r to every “I shall offer it as a bill in the Senate,” Long said. The farm mortgage problem formed one of the points of Mr. Roosevelt's farm relief program as cutlined by him in the campaign. He proposed that farm credits be so liberalized as to help question yesterday with Representative Steagall of Ala- bama, chairman of the House Agricul- ture Committee. Steagall agreed to meet the President-elect later in New York to discuss the matter again. There are about $900,000,000 of farm mort- gages outstanding.

One hundred officers will be detailed to augment the regular Capitol police force, and another squad of the same size will be stationed around the White House. Under present arrangements, the Capitol force will patrol the in- terior of the building and the metro- politan officers will be stationed in the Capitol grounds. Expect to “Call” Benjamin and Reynolds informed the Speaker that despite his refusal they expected to “call” upon Congress. The two previously had made an effort to see Vice President Curtis, but were informed by telephone the Vice President would not receive them. The Vice President and the Speaker are the only authorities who may grant permits for parades or demonstrations on the Capitol grounds. Benjamin and Reynolds left with Garner a formal statement outlining three demands. The first was that the essional program should be organ- ized “in such a manner that the prob- lem of bread shall be placed before the question of beer.” They also asked that the marchers be provided with food, lodging, a place of assemblage and that “the necessary provisions be made” to permit them to present on Capitol Hill their “program and demands.” Drawing Slowly Nearer. Meanwhile, the ever-increasing army of hunger marchers is slowly nearing the Capital. The delegations coming from the West, North and South, are traveling in battered trucks and auto- mobiles, bumming their food, shelter and gasoline along the route. The two main columns from the North and West were in New York and Youngstown, Ohio, respectively, this morning, ready to make the next jumps on their way. About 800 were reported in the Greater New York area, and 500 more in the vicinity of Youngstown. Other straggling groups, numbering al- together between 600 and 700, were stretched over the East and Midwest, pressing on toward the points outside ‘Washington where they will converge and advance into the city by divisions. In Ohio the marchers received frigid receptions by the public and by offi- clals, who declined to furnish food or gasoline. Last night at Youngstown the marchers faced the prospect of goinz hungry, but at the last minute a small band of their Communist sympathizers took pity on them and brought them food. Likewise at Steubenville, where 160 are scheduled to arrive today, the “no welcome” signs have been hung out by city authorities. Mayor J. C. McMaster, 250-pound giant, refused the request yesterday of an “advance guard” for food for the main body and, when the march leaders insisted on service, the mayor threw them out of his office bodily. Today he assigned 50 extra policemen to keep the marchers moving through the city. Protest Use of Troops. At Trenton, N.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, December 1—Earl Browder, a member of the secretariat of the American Communist party, said at national headquarters today that ever since William Z. Foster first sug- gested a march on Washington the party had been active in organizing and supporting such a movement, both among Communists and non-Com- munists. Speaking for Foster, the party head, who s 1ll, Browder said the present march was decided on by the National Committee of Unemployment Councils on October 10, but that Foster first guggested the action in a speech last e s e ety s move e » ning,” Browder said. Become Sympathetic. A vast majority of the marchers are not Communists, he added, “but most of them become sympathetic in the course of the march.” The party spokesman said the recent Communist national political campaign was aligned with plans for the march. As to the question what relation the international headquarters of the party has with the movement, Browder said that while no sanction was asked of the international party, “we send them our ?gpenj_, and we receive papers from em. “The Communist party,” Browder de= clared, “has been the main political leader of the fight for unempioyment insurance, and this march fits right in with our whole conception of the strug- gle for such relief, as well as for demand for immediate Winter relief. The move was initiated by local unemployment councils and final plans Wwere made at a meeting of their nae tional committee in Chicago on Octo= ber 10 and 11, but even before that Comrade Foster suggested such action in a public speech during the campaign Lr:rt{:; Chicago Coliseum on Septem- Expect 2,500. “We expect that 2,500 will reac!

The two things go together, Voting is one means of org: masses for unemployment _insurance and marching is another. We do not prefer one over the other. We prefer the use of both.
