SENATE BARS CLOTURE BUT ENDS FILIBUSTER BLOCKADEREMOVED BY VOTE T0 LIMIT GLASS BILL DEBATE; SHARP TILT ENSUES Extended Jam Broken by Adoption of Unanimous Consent Agreement to Hold Speeches to an Hour. ROBINSON DENOUNCES LONG, WATSON, MOSES Democrats, 20 Republicans and Shipstead Join in Casting Ballots Against Cloture—Borah Opposes It, but Offers Consent Proposal. | BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. The legislative jam in the Sen- ate over the Glass banking bill was broken today despite defeat of the motion to invoke the dras- tic cloture rule. The cloture motion failed by a vote of 58 to 30. A switch of one vote would have adopted the motion. Immediately thereafter, how- ever, the Senate entered into a unanimous consent agreement to limit debate on the Glass bill so no Senator could speak more than an hour on the bill, or more than 30 minutes on any amendmert offered thereto. This limitation on debate, it is believed, will as- sure a final vote on the Glass bill. The propesal for the unanimous con- sent agreement was offered by Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, one of those who had voted against the adcp- tion of clcture. Bitter denunciation of Senator Huey Long, who has led the week-old fili- buster against the banking bill, and of Senators Watson of Indiana and Moses_of New Hampshire, wko joined with Long against cloture today, came | K from Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader of the Senate, almost immediately after the vote, showing the cloture had failed by a narrow margin, was announced. Democrats Who Bolted. Thirty-four Democrats and 24 Re- publicans voted to apply the infre- quently used cloture. Among those who bolted the Democratic leadership in op- posing the motion were Mrs. Caraway of Arkansas, Costigan “of Colorado, George of Georgia, Long of Louisiana, Reynolds of North Carolina, Russell, the new Senator from Georgia; Thomas of Oklahoma, Trammell of Florida and Wheeler of Montana. Senator Gore, Oklahoma colleague of Senator Thomas, one of the filibusterers, voted present. Senator Dill, Democrat of Washing- ton, was paired against the cloture pe- tition. Those voting against cloture included 9 Democrats, 20 Republicans and 1 Farmer-Laborite. Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla- homa, an opponent of the Glass bill, roused the wrath of Senator Robinson when he attacked the Democrats who had voted for cloture, contending the rule of unlimited debate in the Senate had always been the protection of the people of the South. ‘The adoption of the unanimous con- sent agreement to limit debate was in- terpreted as a defeat for Senator Long, who had threatened at the beginning of the filibustcr to permit no vote on the Glass bill during the present session of Congress. It is possible, however, that Long may have learned that he can muster enough votes to amend the Vote on Cloture Lines Broken Senate Ballots.

AND SWISSASK INQURY INTO RIOT Japanése Labor Chief Held in Wrecking of Ameri- can Property. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, January 19.—Switzerland Jjoined with the United States today in calling upon the Japanese government for an immediate investigation of the rioting which yesterday wrecked the Singer Sewing Machine Co. branch at ‘Yokohama. A Swiss citizen owned the building in which all movable objects and valu- able documents were destroyed by about 200 rioters as a climax to labor dis- putes. Police reported 164 persons ar- rested today in connection with the raid. It may be many days, or even weeks, before the American company’s branch there can reopen. Damage amounting to thousands of dollars could not be accurately estimated at present. Labor Chief Arrested. Police detained and questioned lomekichi Matsuoka, president of the All-Japan Labor Federation, in connec- tion with the riot, but he was released later today. A strikers’ statement published in newspapers today said Wednesday's raid was the culmination of their long efforts to settle the labor dispute peace- fully, but that the company’s obduracy reduced them to penury and hunger. Elated by Geneva News. Japanese officials expressed satisfac- tion on recelving reports that the League of Nations Committee of Nine- teen agreed to drop its plan to invite the United States and Soviet Russia to join in conciltation of the Manchurian controversy. ‘They asserted, however, Japan was unable to accept the remainder of a League resolution drafted December 20 without modifications. These were declarations that Japanese military ac- tion in Manchuria was not legitimate self-defense and that the state of Man- chukuo lacked popular support of the inhabitants of Manchuria ISSUE PUT UP TO JAPAN. Must Say Definitely Whether Concilia- tion Proposal Is Acceptable. By Cable to The Star. GENEVA, Switzerland, January 19.— Japan must now say definitely whether it accepts the League of Nations pro- posal for conciliation of the Far Eastern dispute based on the Lytton report, which calls for a change in the status of Manchukuo. That is the League's ansier to the Japanese conditions attached to concili- ation as given yesterday in these dis- branch banking feature of the bill so |patche: it will be satisfactory to him, and for that reason was willing to enter into unanimous consent. The vote in the Senate on the branch banking section will tell the tale. Assails Thomas. Speaking in impassicned tones Sena- tor Robinson chided the Senator from Oklahoma, declaring the United States Senate ought to demonstrate that it can act in the present emergency, or else it would have to accept the ridicule which has been heaped upon it. Turning to the Republican side of the chamber, the Democratic leader charged that “the leadership on that side of the chamber had helped to make the Senate ridiculous.” Senator Watson of Indiana, the Re- publican leader, and Senator Moses of New Hampshire, Republican president pro tem of the Senate, both voted against the adoption of cloture. Last night Senator Couzens charged on the floor of the Senate that the “lame duck Jeadership” on the Republican side had | conspired with Long and others in the conduct of the filibuster against the banking bill Senator Robinson sald that the only question involved was whether the Senate could do business; whether at a time when the country is in grave need the Senate could reach a vote on legislation. He charged that the Re- publican leadership had, in an effort to embarrass the Democrats, helped to demonstrate the incapacity of the Senate.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS SEEK TOELIMINATE |ENDS NEGOTIATIONS| DOUBLE TAXATION Leaders Plan Action to Un,i‘fy U. S. and State Levies in Extra Session,’ 300 DUPLICATED {MPOSTS CITED BY BUSINESS MEN Representatives of Tobacco and Gasoline Interests Suggest Reme- dies for Inequalities. By the Assopfated Press. Having definitely discarded plans for new tdxation legislation this session, Democratic House leaders today began considering plans to eliminate double taxation during a special assembly of the new Congress in April. By unifying taxes to permit the States to participate in revenue collected by the Federal Government, thereby elimi- nating various levies on the same products, the Democrats hope to raise additional revenue on the basis of in- creased consumption of tobacco, gasoline and other products. No Hope for Action Now. Representatives of tobacco and gaso- line interests already have propcsed to Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee that before additional tax legislation is undertaken these pro- posals be given consideration. ‘They were told, however, that there was no hope for enactment of such legislation at this cession, due to the congested situation in Congress. ‘The suggestions coincide with the pre- liminary report of the Ways and Means Ccmmittee on double taxati-n. It found more than 300 overlapping Federal and State taxes. 8. Clay Williams of Winston-Salem, N. C, president of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. conferred with Speaker Garner, Chairman Collier of the Ways and Means Ccmmittee, Majority Leader Rainey and Representative Doughton, Democrat, North Carolina, on a pro- posal to levy a tax of $3 a thousand on cigarettes, one-sixth of the proceeds to be returned to the States. Representatives of the American Pe- troleum Institute conferred also with Rainey, Illinois Democrat, on a similar proposal relating to gasoline. ‘Wants Cigarefte THX" Chairman Collier said after the con- ference that Mr. Williams suggested ac- tion on the cigarette tax at this session, since more than 40 State Legislatures were meeting this Winter. “In view of the congested legislative situation in the Senate,” Collier said, “we told Mr. Wiliilams it was seriously doubtful whether any tax legislation could possibly be enacted at this session. “Undoubtedly this will be given serious consideration in the special ses- sion. I think it has great merit and should be given careful consideration.” ‘Williams told the conference that due to high State cigarette taxes in addi- tion to the Federal levies, consumption of cigarettes was on a rapid decline. “He said that if a uniform tax was levied, revenue would be doubled through increased consumption,” the Mississippi Democrat added. The proposal on cigarettes has bcen sponsored in a bill by Representative Doughton and is pending before the committee. It would provide that the Federal Government refund a sixth of the revenue from cigarettes to the States twice a year. It would require the States to repeal their varied cig- arette taxes. Doughton said the present Federal tax on cigarettes was $3 a thousand, | but that the proposed rate in his billl was tentative. Budget Program Deferred.

ELECTRIC FIRM TO FIGHT CASE TO END IN COURT; Commission Will Make New Effort ot Obtain Reduction Effec- tive During 1933. The Public Utilities Commission today broke off negotiations with the Potomac Electric Power Co. looking toward set- tling of legal differences over electric rate reductions and decided to fight the litigation now in the Court of Appeals to the end. At the same time the commission will make a second effort to secure some rate reductions for 1933 regardless of the progress of the litiga- tion. In a statement issued by Chairman Mason M. Patrick of the commission, People’s Counsel Richmond B. Keech was indirectly blamed for the break-off in the negotiations. This, Keech de- nies. Text of Statement. ‘The statement reads: “For some days the commission has been trying to negotiate with the Po- tomac Electric Power Co. and to arrive at a method by which the pending litigation could be ended and imme- diate reduction in rates could be made. “Yesterday counsel for the commis- sicn, the people’s counsel and counsel for the company had agreed upon a document which would accomplish the above purpose, and by which Justice Luhring's decision upholding order No. 919 would be maintained, but with cer- tain changes in the terms of the slid- hng scale contained in his original ecree. “The commission is now informed by the people’s counsel that he is not satisfled with the wording of this docu- ment agreed upon yesterday afternoon. “The commission has informed the power company that it must terminate the negotiations undertaken with the hope of effecting a conclusion of the pending litigation. “The commission will take up again e m%q arrangement by which there can be made some re- duction of rates during the next 12 months beginning February 1, 1933." Keech Comments on Case. Mr. Keech, commenting on the above statement, said that the document re- ferred to was a proposition that Jus- tice Luhring’s decree be amended so as to include all of the terms of the disputed order No. 919. He said that when he wrs asked yesterday if he agreed to i., he replied that he was agreeable i. the language clearly re- tained to ‘he commission the power to fix rates rt any time regardless of any consent cccree and subject only to an appeal by the company affected on the question of the reasonableness of the rates. He said that he stated to those present that he was not satisfied that the language clearly accomplished this purpose, but that he would study the matter and would report back. Last night, he said, he consulted legal textbooks and came to the conclusion that the language did not reserve the power to the commission in unqualified terms and therefore he could not ac- cept it. Order No. 919 was the one issued by the commission, in which it set aside the consent decree which had regulated rates in the District for seven years and set up a new sliding scale. This order was sustained in an opinion by Justice Luhring of District Supreme Court rendered July 29, 1932. The power company appealed from his de- cision and the appeal is now pending in the District Court of Appeals. The company has filed its brief in support of its case, and the next step is the filing of a brief by the commis- sion. It will probably take until the end of the year before the case gets out of the Court of Appeals, and is regarded as fairly certain that the los- ing side will endeavor to secure a hear- ing in the United States Supreme Court, which would consume at least another year. The conferences which broke off to- day began Monday morning and have lastea for many hours each day since. _ “VEST-POCKET” CRUISER ON FIRST TRIAL RUN Deutschland Will Be Turned Over to German Naval Commission Next Month.

HOUSE IS DEBATING BANONREGROUPING Democrats Predict Hoover Plan Will Be Blocked After Limited Debate. Definite predictions by Democrats that the resolution to block President Hoover’s regrouping plan would be ap- | proved came today as the House started ’ debating the measure. Chairman Cochran of the Expendi- tures Committee, author of the resolu- tion, was one of those who made the prediction. “Our majority may not be too com- , but” well pass the resolution he said. By an announced vote of 198 to 171 the House adopted a rule to bring up | the Cochran resolution. The test vote also indicated the resolution would be | adopted. Two hours’ debate on the res- olution was then begun. The Democrats have bound them- selves in caucus to support the resolu- tion. Republican leaders said the vote would be along party lines. One hour’s debate was provided for as the House took under consideration | the special rule which would make in order Chairman Cochran’s resolution which “disapproves” of President Hoo- ver's reorganization program. After the House has acted favorably upon the special rule there will be two hours of | debate u the resolution itself. | Purnell, Indiana Republican, the first | speaker, urged that no politics participate in its | ceonsideration. He argued that no man | was better equipped to say what Gov- ernment activities could be consolidated to save governmental funds than Presi- dent Hoover. “It seems to me the President-elect would want to consider these recom- mendations, bearing in mind that he- has the authority to accept or reject them,” he said.

By the Associated Press. BOSTON, January 19—Police an- nounced today that George Crawford, colored. had made a complete confes- sion of the murder of Mrs. Agnes Boeing Ilsley, Virginia society woman, and her maid, Mrs. Mina Buckner. The confes- sion was announced after Crawford had been questioned three hours. Crawford, who had been arrested in Boston for a store burglary and identi- fied through his fingerprints as the Vir- ginia murder suspect, was questioned by John Galleher, commonwealth attorney for London County, Va. Co-operating with Galleher, who arrived here today, were Sergt. John McArdle of the Bos- ton police and Benjamin Gunner, a private detective. Arrangements were being made for the return of Crawford to Virginia. The larceny charge upon which Craw- ford was being held was to be nol prossed later today. Police said that Crawford confessed that the slaying of the women, which took place on the Ilsley estate a little more than & year ago, was committed by him after he entered the society ‘woman’s cottage for purposes of rob- bery. He said, according to police, that the two women were asleep, but that Mrs. Ilsey awoke and screamed. Then, according to the alleged confession, Crawford seized an iron bootjack and beat the women to death. With the awakening of Mrs. Ilsley, Crawford’s confession set forth, he seized the bootjack and struck both women on their heads. The cottage was situated in an isolated spot in the midst of the 200-acre estate, which lies in the heart of the Virginia fox-hunting district near Middleburg. After the alleged confession was made public, Galleher sent for officers. whc are expected to arrive here Saturday to take Crawford back to Virginia. BLACK BEER BILL SCORED IN HEARING Attorney for D.

Church Federation Sees Lack of Ban on Saloons. ‘The Black beer bill for the District was assailed as “a measure which might well have been drafted by Al Capone” as hearings on the proposed legislation were resumed today before a Houce Judiciary Subcommittee.

In asserting that 3.2 per cent beer, as provided fcr in -the bill, violates the eighteenth amendment, Mr. La Roe pointed out that Rufus Lusk, represent- ing the Washington branch of the Cru- saders, could not state positively at the last hearing that the beverage would not be in fact intoxicating. “If Mr. Lusk and other proponents of this measure are not prepared to defend the constitutionality of the beverage they propose to legalize.” Mr. La Roe asked, “may we not fairly atsume that it is intoxicating in fact?” Palmisano Interrupts. Représentative Palmisano, Democrat of Maryland, who presided as chairman of the subcommittee, interrupted the witness to observe that “the people of the Nation on November 8 held that this beer was not intoxicating.” Mr. La Roe contended the bill will not prohibit the sale in Washington of intoxicating liquor to minors, the Crusaders having eliminated from the earlier draft a paragraph relating to sale to minors. He also pointed out that under this bill liquor can be sold next door to a church or school. As long ago as 1914, he declared, there was a law in the District prohibiting a saloon within 400 feet of a school or place of worship. “There is nothing in the bill to pro- hibit the bootlegger from obtaining a li- cense,” the witness continued. “Ob- viously there should be no beer selling (Continued on Page 3, Column 5.
