This is Democratic in_consideration of important us n. “This resolution is not as I would lice it.

Then it will stand some chance of early ratification and be a much more satisfactory resolution than the one we are called upon to vote for today.” Moore Speaks for Drys. Representative Moore, Republican, of Ohio, was the first dry speaker, telling his eouugues on the Republican side he could not conscientiously vote for such a resolution. Describing the situa- tion of distress and hunger, he said this is offering “a serpent instead of a feast—that is what the Democrats are offering even before they receive the President’s message. not only permits the return of the saloon, but practically guarantees it.” Representative Blanton, Democrat, of ‘Texas, protested the time for debate was not being evenly divided among re- | Text of Garner’s Measure for Repeal Of 18th Amendment The text of the Garner prohi- bition repeal resolution follows: “Joint resolution proposing amendment to the Constitution to repeal the eighteenth amend- ment. “Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Con- gress assembled (two-thirds of each house concurring therein), that the following article is pro- poscd as an amendment to the constituticn, which shall be valid to ail intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by conventions in three- fourths of the severc!

Representative Mapes of Michigan, a | Republican dry, called on Republicans {in the House to vote against the Garner resolution for outright repeal.

Representative Huddleson of Alabama, of voting against the resolution. Little more than half an hour after the House convened, Speaker Garner, | true to his promise to force the issue on repeal of the eighteenth amendment today, recognized Representative Rainey to offer the repeal resolution and to move the suspension of the rules. Confer on Procedure. While the first roll call was being taken Rainey and Snell conferred on procedure. Several members went to the Speak- er's dais to discuss the situation with Garner. Calling of the first roll was delayed by the noise of conversation in the chamber. rgenudly Garner was forced to rap for o Before the session was half an hour old members of the Senate began to file into the chamber. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi was one of the first to arrive. Close behind were Senators Broussard of also Democrats. G. O. P. Wets Back Repeal. A few heurs before; Republicans wet members of the House, meeting in the rooms of the Interstate Commerce Com- mittee, decided to support the Gamner resolution cal for direct repeal, ai- though many the Republicans pre- ferred {o write amendments into the resolution to protect dry States and to ban the saloon, in accordance with the Republican national platform. About 50 Republican members gathered for the meeting at 9:30 am. Representative Beck announced after the meeting that the wet bloc’s meet- ing had secured Republican votes for the Garner resolution. He said there ;vere tot.her Republicans who would vote for_ Representative Britten of Illinols, an- other wet Republican, estimated 125 Republicans would support the resolu- tion when the vote came Meanwhile the seven members of the Arkansas delegation, all Democrats, de- cided at a caucus to oppose the Garner resolution. So far this was the only xti;!enunn that has gone solid against e pr those who objected to the resolution and those in favor of it, but he was shouted down. Representative Celler, Democrat, of New York, a wet, referred to Minority Leader Snell as “the mouthpiece of the most decisively defeated wadmt in the history of the country.” He a President-elect Roosevelt as ny1ng at the Chicago convention that “from this day on, prohibition is doomed.” Representative Beck, Republican, of Pennsylvania, leader of the Republican wet bloc sald “this is a day of salva- tion from the bondage under which the American people have suffered 12 years. Thisgives the American people opportunity to say whether they want to retain this prohibition bondage.” He announced to the House that at a meet- ing of the Republican wet group today it was “unanimously and enthusiasti- cally resolved to support and vote for this resolution.” Guided by Michigan Vote. Representative Michener, Republican of Michigan, a lame duck member of the Judiciary Committee, explained his action in voting against reporting this resolution from the Judiciary Commit- tee, saying his proposed substitute would safeguard against the return of the Then he announced he would vote for this resolution guided by the emphatic referendum vote in Michigan, being assured that an opportunity will be given in the Senate to put in safe- guards against the return of the saloon. Representative Britten, Republican, of Tilinos, told his colleagues the integrity of the national platforms of each of the two great parties is at stake. “How in the name of heaven can any Republican or any Democrat refuse to vote for this resolution?” he fisked. “The people are not interested in the language of the resolution but in the vote for resubmission.” Representative Stalker of New York, dry Republican, declared the prohibi- tion law had never yet been given a thorough' chance. He said he was against taking a vote on the prohibi- tlon amendment until an opportunity had been had to try out the law further. Stalker was co-author with the late Senator Jones of Washington of the “five-and-ten” law. Representative Treadway of Massa- chusetts said he would vote for adoption of the resolution although he objected “to the steamroller.” He said he would like to vote for a resolution similar to that offered by Senator Glass of Vir- ginia in the Senate, which would ban the saloon and protect the dry States. Mrs. Norton Presents Views. Representative Glover of Arkansas, Democratic dry, said he was not wulmg to align himself with the liquor and other interests which were pressing for the adoption of this resolution. “The idea that the Democrats won the last election on the wet issue is ‘wearing away,” saild Mr. Glover. He added he did not think the Democrats should be stampeded into voting for this resolution. Mrs. Norton of New Jersey, wet Dem- ocrat, sald she spoke in the name of many millions of women, Republicans and Democrats alike, who in the last election expressed themselves in favor of repeal of the eighteenth amendment. ‘I‘dshlll vote for this resolution,” she B! néprmnuun Boylan, wet Democrat of New York, attacked the drys because keep on debating it until the Gabriel blows his horn,” sald Mr. Boylan.

Doubtless his proposals will differ considerably from those now advanced by Democratic leaders, who | are demanding immediate repeal of the eighteenth amendment, legalization of | beer and farm relief legislation. The Democrats find their only chance of avoiding a special session of the new Congress next Spring in the passage of their program. The shorg session, which opened to- day and which will close March 4, prob- ably is the last “lame duck” eession of Congress. The constitutional amend- | ment doing away with such sessions is | expected to be ratified before next year closes. Admission to the House today was by special card. Long before the House assembled, the galleries were filled. On the Senate side, too, a large crowd as- | sembled to witness the opening session | of the Upper House. Senate for Committee Action. ‘The Senate leaders have decreed that | the question of prohibition repeal is to be referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. If the House adopts the Garner resolution for repeal, it is ex- pected that it will be promptly referred to the Senate Committee. That com- mittee is likely, it is predicted, to modify the resolution before it is reported out to the Senate. ‘The lame duck Congress is confront- ed with a long list of important sub- jects demanding attention, including besides prohibition repeal and legaliza- tion of beer, the balancing of the budget through new taxation and great- er economy, farm relief, the debts owed | this country by foreign nations, and the passage of the annual supply bills for the Government. The lisi s s0 ex- tensive and the control of Congress so divided that there is little probability such a program can be put through. Although President Hoover is expect- ed to recommend to Congress some course dealing with the foreign debts, the leaders of the Semate and House have declared themslves against taking any action at this time looking to post- | ponement of debt payments or cancel- lation. \WOMEN TO ‘MOURN’ IF LIQUOR RETURNS Repeal More Dangerous Than War, Mrs. Henry W. Peabody Declares. Characterizing the return of legalized liquor or beer or wines while the eighteenth amendment still stands, as more dangerous than war, Mrs, Henry W. Peabody of the Woman'’s National Committee for Law Enforcement yes- terday called upon women to “go into deep mourming when and if liquor returns.” She was speaking before a group at the Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church. At the same time, she an- nounced that her committee today is opening headquarters in Washington to “protest against corruption and perjury leading to the failure of this Govern- ment to protect and defend the people through maintenance and enforcement of the supreme law.” “This Congress opens with the decla- ration for repeal of the sl*reme law.” she said, “while certain memhbers, sworn to support and defend the Constitution, declare for its nullification and repudia- tion at the demand of dangerous ele- ments of the upper and under WML, ¢ & = “Women Nave suffered most through this traffic, and they demand protection from the werst enemy of the children and home.” Mrs. Peabody read a resolution of the committee, asking that State Legisla- tures, instead of conventions, deal with a repeal resolution; approving the Vol- stead act, and requesting the President to veto any modification measure, and opposing Government distribution of liquor and increasing the alcoholic content of beverages over the Volstead act limit, KIDNAPER FAILS TO KEEP CEMETERY APPOINTMENT Officers Wait in Vain for Delivery of Missing Girl Following Note. By the Associated Press. RENSSELAER, . Ind,, December 5.— Sheriff Tone Kanne revealed last night that officers waited in a cemetery near Coldwater, Mich., Saturday night in« hopes of recovering 4-year-old Patricia Tripp, but that the writer of a note directing the vigil failed to appear. The Tripp girl has been missing since last Monday, when her grandmother, Mrs. Hamlin Smith, reported a swarthy stranger kidnaped her from the Smith home here. Sheriff Kanne said a letter received by Leon R. Green, sheriff of Branch County, Mich,, instructed him to go to the cemetery and promised the girl would be turned over to him on pay- ment of $100 for “expenses that she cost us.” A posse of officers lay in wait while Green kept the tryst, but no one appeared.

ARMS PACT IN 1832 SOUGHT AT PARLEY Americans Say Reich Equal- ity Is Secondary Issue in Conversations. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, December 5-—The four big powers of Europe and the United States set out today to gain definite | progress toward world disarmament be- fore Christmas, with an American warning before them to the effect that mere “window dressing” will not be satisfactory. The American delegation also made | it plain it understood all five natlons were entering the discussions with the understanding that the bas!s of the pro- ceedings was “disarmament, pure and | simple.” The Americans said the question of | equality, raised by Germany last Sum- | mer, when she withdrew from the con- | ference, and security, a paramount | issue with France, were not to | fundamentals of the conversations. Japan Interested Spectator. Originally the meeting was called for | the announced purpose of getting Ger= many back into the conference, but the American statement would indicate that | the talks were going beyond the an- nounced intention. The rcm:lmng nation of the world’s “big six"—Japan—also was an inter- ested spectator. During the week end her representative, Tsuneo Matsudaira, and Norman Davis, the American dele- gate, arranged a conference for today, presumably to discuss the Japanese naval disarmament plan which was| launched recently. It differs in many respects from the British and Ameri- can ideas. Get Preliminary Ideas. Fully accredited diplomats from all five of the nations participating in the conversations, which were formally called for today, were on hand or en route this morning. ‘They included Ml’ Davis, Prime Min- ister Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britain, -Premier Edouard Herriot of | Prance, Foreign Minister Baron Kon- | stantin von Neurath of Germany and Augusto Rosso, Italy's arms expert. First conversations began Saturday, but were held to preliminary business | because of the absence of Baron von Neurath, held in Berlin during the cabinet crisis there. He left the Ger- man capital yesterday. The American delegation spent yes- terday getting preliminary ideas for an arms convention down on paper, and it was understood others of the “big five” were doing fhe same _thing. BUYING OF U.

Senator-designate Walter Walker end- ed an auto-air dash from Grand Junc- tion, Colo., to Washington at 10:52 am. today to take the oath and give the Democrats of the Senate a temporary plurality of one. ‘Walker made the trip of 2,100 miles in 36 hours. The first leg of 390 miles | over the Continental Divide was made over snow-covered roads by automobile from his home to Denver. The rest of the trip was made by plane via Kansas City, Columbus and Pittsburgh. A tail wind enabled him to reach Washingtor 25 minutes ahead of schedule. ‘While some Senators hoped Walker's presence here would give the Democrats an opportunity to organize the Senate, it appeared doubtful that this would be attempted.- Even if they did, it per- haps would be only for a few days, because Karl C.

IFEDERATION SEEKS FARM RELEF LANS Delegates From 43 States Attend Annual Session in Chicago. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO December 5.—Agriculture raised its voice today to ask again for economic aid through legislation. From 43 States came delegates to the annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation, largest of the three main groups of organized farmers. At almost the same hour Congress conveged for its short session, Edward A. O'Neal of Alabama was scheduled to give his presidential address before the Farm Bureau, | Before the three-day convention will | come the weighty problems of over- whelming crop surpluses and falling prices, of foreign consumption and re- stricfed markets, increasing taxes and mortgage foreclosures. Report Faces Delay. Demands upon Congress for farm re- lief are expected to be renewed. The | form they will take is being determined |by a Resolutions Committee, whose re- go]n is understood to be facing possible elay. The equalization fee relief theory, twice vetoed President Cowlldle since its 1926 convention, has been the Farm Bureau's dominant proposal for controlling surpluses and increasing the | cash return to the farmer for his crops and live stock. O'Neal became Farm Bureau president when his predecessor, Sam H. Thomp- son of Illinols, resigned to become a member of the Federal Farm Board. A year ago he was elected to his first full two-year term. Support Amendments. Soon afterward the Farm Bureau, Farmers' Union and National Grange agreed to support, as amendments to the agricultural marketing act, the equalization fee, export debenture or any other plan for making effective the tariff on farm commodities consumed within the United States. With the domestic allotment plan, newest addition to the series of pro- | posed farm relief laws, the equalization | fee and the export debenture received Farm Bureau support as part of the | Rainey-Norbeck bill. Otherwise, O'Neal's organization haes never gone on record in support of other plans, RADIO BOARD RULING REVERSED BY COURT | Justices Groner and Hitz Dissent From Opinion in Mid- west Case.

The majority opinion was. rendered by Justice Charles H. Robb, while Jus- tices D. Lawrence Groner and Willlam Hitz dissented. The point by the majority opinion was = cision of the ission ‘bitrary and capricious. It was pointed out that Station WIBO had been broa for more than two years and Station WPCC more than three years when Station WJKS entered the field. “The only apparent reason,” said Jus- tice Robb, “for granting the application of Station WJKS and destroying the other two stations is that Indiana is underquota, which in the circumstances furnishes no substantial 1|utmcnion for the decision of the co two stations have been and are mtng public interest, convenlence and neces- sity, certainly to as great extent as the applicant station.” PROPOSE TO ELECT AL SMITH AS MAYOR “Non-Partisan Citizens” Hope to Name Him Reorganization Candidate. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 5.—A move- ment to “draft” former Gov. Alfred E. Smith for mayor in the November, 1933, election was launched yesterday by a “committee of young business men who are not actively engaged in politics.” Close associates of the former Governor said he was not aware of the movement. The group, which calls itself the “Non-Partisan Citizens' Committee to Draft Al Smith as Reorganization Mayor,” in a statement prepared for publication said that lasting reform can be accomplished only by “radical changes in the system,” and Mr. Smith is the logical man to head the move- ment for recasting the city govern- ment. The statement is signed by Hamilton Long, lawyer; Lewis G. Adams, archi- tect; Earle H. Balch, business man; Borden Helmer, lawyer; Edward G. Sperry, manufacturer, and Charles G. Wray, banker. A committee of Republicans was named by State Chairman W. Kings- land Macy to select a larger committee, organize it, and take charge of the Republican campaign for mayor. ¥The City of New York faces a crisis that places a distinct duty on every citizen or agency having influence or responsibility within its borders,” Macy sud. “After all, it is on the Repub- lican party that the success of a fusion or reform movement must rest.” ——— YALE PETITION URGES DEBT STAY ON CONGRESS President Angell and Faculty Members Ask Postponement of Dec. 15 Payments.

Elimination of a “special dole” of $450,000,000 annually to “over 500,000 :vcternm who never got hurt in the | war,” was set forth yesterday as the | immediate objective of a program to be urged by the National Economy League | on the joint Congressional Confmittee | on Veterans’ Legislation. Henry H. Curran, general manager of the organization, said in a formal | statement that this program “interferes | in no way with liberal and just com- | pensations for those whose disability is | traceable to the war.” He announced that William Marshall Bullitt of Louisville, a former solicitor general of the United States, would appear for the league before the com- mittee at its coming hearings. The Joint Committee, however, has not yet had its first mee . Members have not agreed as to when it shall organize. Observing “it- is real economy to cut every dollar of expenditure which is not fair and just to all pzople,” Curran listed as “one of these wrongful ex- penditures” the proposed cash payment of the bonus, which he sald “will get nowhere at all in the present Congress. “Our people should be, and always will be, generous to a fault in taking care of the veteran who is hurt in the | service or because of his service, but | not a dollar should go to any other | veteran cutside of the regular establishe ment. “This is a special dole to special veterans who take sick or get a little old in the piping times of peace, long after the war is over. If we are to | have a dole, then everybody ought to get it.” | . The cost of “this special dole" Curran slld ‘was about 3450.000,000 | and was “increasing day by day.” | “The sooner the Congress repeals | every statute that perpetuates this wrong upon all the people,” he said, | “the sooner we shall get out of hard | times and beccme a country of equal ADVERTISENENTS f ReceiveD HERE Rikci off The losers and finders of articles of value can be quickly brought together through a HE first place those which has been lost T Star. is in the “Lost and Foun Through this medium you can put yourself who have found wmefiing look fot a clue to the owner * Columns of The in touch with the one who has found what you have lost. covers Washington and thoroughly.
