" A—4 %» STONE AGE VILLAGE FOUND IN PERSIAY tacomsn £ American Expedition Makes One of Most Impertant Art Discoveries. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, January 23.—A 6,000- year-old village of the Stone Age has been unearthed two miles from Per- sepolis in Persia and the buildings there discovered contain some of “the most magnificent sculptures” of a later age ever brought to light by archeologists, according to an announcement made today by Dr. James H. Breasted, direc- tor of the Oriental Institute of the Uni- versity of Chicago, based upon a re- port to him from Dr. Ernest Herzfeld, fleld director of the institute's Persia expedition. Burned by Woman's Whim. Persepolis, the Versailles of ancient Persia until its buildings were burned by Alexander the Great, who is said to | have set fire to them to please the whim of the woman of his fancy, over- looks the great plain surrounded by mountains, and the excavations have been conducted about two miles from the site of the city today. Dr. Herzfeld has uncovered a series of wall sculpture which, if set to- gether, would form a vast panel of re- Hefs five or six feet in height and al- most 1,000 feet in length. “The dis- covery is one of the greatest and most important in the history of archeolog- ical research anywhere” said Dr. Breasted. “It not only far surpasses any archeological disclosure ever made in the history of such research in Per- sia, but there has never been any dis- covery like it anywhere in Western Asia since archeological excavation be- gan there almost a century ago.” Stones Like Ebony. The walls of the splendid palaces which stood on the gigantic terrace of Persepolis, overlooking a mighty plain encircled by mountains, were of sun- dried brick, but the colonnaded halls, the windows and the great doors were ~ done in black stone, which was polished e ebony. ukThe h:-'leze and sculptured scenes were embellished with colors now all lost except in one relief just discovered by Mr. Herzield. It had been sheltered from the weather under rubbish for centuries. Now uncovered, it reveals the Persian Emperor wearing a roge bord- ered with scarlet and purple, shoes of scarlet, and other finery in royal hues. It was due to the disintegration and final fall of the great mud-brick walls that the newl discovered sculptures were preserved and protected fromd the ravages of weather and vandalism through the nearly 2,500 years since they were created. Imposing Scene. The subject matter of the reliefs is & magnificent durbar representing & great group of Peréian and Median of- ficials standing with the gorgeous uni- formed palace guards of the Persian Emperor drawn up at one side to re- ceive the ambassadors of 22 subject nations who aproach from the other side bearing their tribute to Persia. The execution of the scenes displays unparalleled beauty and refinement of detail. The palace guards, consisting of footmen, horsemen and charioteers, form a superb ensemble. In the sculp- tor's representation of each chariot wheel the bronze nail which was dropped in the end of the axle outside the hub to prevent the wheel from slipping off is depicted in every detail, and the upper half of each nail consists of a beautifully sculptured female fig- ure carved with the delicacy of a cameo in an area not as large as a postage stamp, the legs of the figure forming the stem of the nail which is inserted 4 the hole in the axle. Stone-Age Village Unearthed. “That such advanced civilization and such imperial splendor should have bur: forth almost overnight is, of course. unthinkable,” Dr. Breasted said, in commenting .upon Dr. Herzfeld's dis- covery. “Within two miles of Persepolis, Dr. Herzfeld found a small mound some 300 by 600 feet in area and only 10 or 12 feet in height which, when exca- wvated, has been found to cover a Stone Age viilage in a state of preservation surpassing any such discovery ever made heretofore. It dates from about 4,000 B. C.” A narrow street runs through the little settlement, and it is possible at places for the visitor to look over the tops of the houses into the interiors. The homes have windows, which lend particular importance to the discovery, as they are the earliest known struc- tures to make this provision for light and ventilation. Household utensils of pottery ware were found in the homes. Mural decorations of red ochre water color are still discernible on some ©of the walls. In his report to Dr. Breasted, Dr. Herzfeld heralds a new era in the his- tory of early art with the discovery of polychrome designs and motifs found on the pottery. “With the exception of some potsherds of the Stone Age in Babylcnia,” the writes, “the finds that have come by Persepolis, both in age and in beauty throw everything later into the shade.” Further Research Assured. Dr. Herzfeld's institute holds a con- cession on all the ancient sites sur- Tounding Persepolis within a racius of 13 miles so that further research may be_assured. = Much of the art in the district was destroved by the Moslems during the seventh and eighth Christian cen- tur cording to Dr. Breasted. That now earthed was buried beneath the deoris of the fallen walls. The reliefs Femaining represent a group of Persian and Median officials surrounded by uniformed palace guards receiving the ambassadors of 22 subject nations con- stituting the old Persian empire. “One traditlon has 1it,” said Dr. Breasted. In explaining the fall of Persepolis, “that Alexander the Great in 330 B. C.. sotted with wine and urged on by his lady-love of the mo- ment, set to the roof of one of these palacés, and thus sent up in flame and smoke supreme expression of Ori- ental genius, It was a disaster which marked the end of the evolution of Oriental civilization in Western Asia, and the destruction wrought by that conflagration devastated and wrecked forever most of the works of art which made the palaces of- Persepolis the great world center of culture and civiliza- tion under the Persian empire.” TRAIN DERAILED, Z_HURT Broken Switch Frog Blamed for Wreck in Oklahoma.

Although the newly ratified twentieth amendment to the Constitution is ex- Ppected to advance the efficiency of Con- gress by eliminating “lame duck” ses- sions, it ‘will inevitably saddle an ad- |ditional burden of worries on incoming Presidents. By it the President loses irrevocably {the peace, relative though it is, that | may now be had as he begins a term with no legal compulsion to ¢all Con- gress in session until nine months after { inauguration. Even the friendliest and most conservative of Congresses can cause a President sleepless nights and bring gray hairs. It may prove de- liberate when he wants speed, and often enough it runs away with legislation he would like to see ditched. How important to a new Chief Executive a breathing spell is at the beginning is shown by the fact that | special sessions when called usually start in June, or at the earliest in { April. Even now that such a session is | unavoldable this year, Franklin D. | Roosevelt wants a six-week period of date is around April 20. Congress to Get Early Start. Beginning with the next inaugura- | already in session two weeks, doubtless | organized and working to some extent uvon its own and his legislative ideas. It will include, usually, many new members not schooled in parliamentary tricks ‘nor broken in to acceptance of discipline at the hands of party leaders, but fresh from the campaign of the preceding Autumn. - That session will have major work to do. It must, between January and for the fiscal year beginning July ‘1. A new President and his new officials will have to propose revenues and ex- penditures and get them through Con- gress within that time. Up to now the job has been done by the retiring ad- ministratian. decided to pass the appropriations only and, let the revenue end be taken care of later. But the groundwork of budg- etary study, no matter how many conclusions may be discarded, has been {laid by the outgoing administration, plans, estimates and figures. President Must “Cram.” By taking office only two months after | election instead of four, the new Presi- dent will have to do much studying and cramming on current affairs to be i ready to go'into action the moment he takes office. have to be shared by a crew of aides ready not only to manage departments and bureaus, but to present their needs and defend their estimates before Con- gressional comn. ittees. ‘With the adoption of the amendment. American politics has shaken off the grip of the stage coach era, the old order having been founded in the days when it took months for members of Congress to move themselves .to the Capital, and it took weeks at least for the election results to become known in ‘Washington. The amendment was ratified by the necessary 36 States in less than a year, although it took Congress 10 years to agree upon proposing it. It will go into effect next Ocotber 15, controlling the terms of Congress and the President from then on. This is the first fundamental modern- ization in the Federal Government since 1913, when the seventeenth amendment took election of Senators from the Legislatures and placed it directly in the hands of the people. Unlimited Sway Feared. Had the twentieth amendment been in force” last October, Mr. Roosevelt would be in the White House today, and the new Congress would be hard at work in place of the present gather- ing, doomed to ineffectuality. The old system was clung to by ultra- conservatives who feared too unlimited sway for public opinion; by those “lame ducks,” and members anticipating defeat, who favored a long adjustment period during which they could loak around for a new job while clinging to the Federal pay roll; by executive offi- cials who found that defeated members looking for appointive berths were more responsive to their desires than when the will of constituents controlled them. It was fought also by those who ob- Jected to unlimited sessions of Congress. Among these - was the late Nicholas L&n%worrm,z 5 sp;:ker nng Republican chief o e House, who repeated] 1 killed the resolution. postely Norris Fostered Plan. Senator George Norris of Nebraska is the man who put it over. With un- shaking patience he kept on advocating his reform. First he convinced the | Senate, so that in 10 years it approved | the resolution and sent it to the House six times. In the last Republican House, when big majorities for the G. O. P. were fading, Longworth agreed to @ compromise, but Norris held fast. When the Democrats took the House control the resolution went through. i It was submitted March 2, 1932. Two ays ratified, not even waiting for a copy of the amendment to be forwarded it by the Secretary of State. year had ended, seventeen States had given their approval Legislatures all over the country met during the- first week of this month. As soon as they organized, ratifications began to pour in, until in the last weeks they came two and three a day. There was not a dissenting voice. The “lame duck” was told in chorus that he was no longer wanted. The manner in which the amendment disposes of the lame ducks is simple. It provides two things: First, that the terms of members of Congress expire at noon of January 3 of the year fol- lowing election, and that the term of President and Vice President end and begin at noon on January 20. Second, that Cohgress shall meet every year on January 3 unless another date is fixed by law. No adjournment date is fixed, ters lose the power that limited time confers, Contrasts With 0ld Plan. Contrast that with the existing sys- tem, esgablished in 1788. In December after the November electtons the old Congress, full of defeated members, comes back and legislates until March 4. when it goes out. The new President takes office on that date, but unless he calls a special session, the new Con- gress does not meet until next Decem- ber. 13 months after election. The twentieth amendment, however, goes_further to stop a gap that has ex- isted since the country's origin. It provides for the first time for succession to the presidency if the President-elect dies or fails to qualify. The Vice Presi- dent-elect takes over until Congress provides for selection of a President, which it is. given specific right to do, upon. terms it is at liberty to prescribe. Though ratified with exceptional rapidity, the twentieth amendment must was approved by the States in nine and a half months. Proposed December 12, 1803, it was ratified by September 25, 1804. That amendment defined the manner in which the President and Vice President are chosen. The thirteenth amendmtent, abolish- ing slavery, was ratified about as fast as the “lame duok” change. about ten and a half months, from February 1, 1865, to December 18 of the same year.

By contrast, the income tax amendment and one protecting the United States Gevernment against civil suits took be- tween three and four years to become part of the Constitution after Congress proposed them. The twentieth amendment will cut 43 days off the Presidential term of Mr, Roosevelt. This even though he may be re-elected for a second term four years hence. He loses time because, although he goes into office March 4 iike his prede- cessors, he steps out January 20, and every President after him will do like- wise. Representatives and Senators lose two months, as their terms will expire Jan- uary 3 instead of March 4. Both they anc the President and Vice President, incidentally, will lose money as well as time. Annual salaries are paid by the United States for full years, Part time is scaled down accordingly. Vice President “On Spot” One man is going to be “on the spot” under_the amendment, and that is the Vice President of the United States. He'll be on the spot whenever he and his party have been defeated for re- election. His duties will involve pre- siding over the first two weeks of the next administration’s Senate. In presiding, the Vice President has to keep order, rule on difficult parlia- | mentary questions, and cast his vote in! case of a tle. One more amendment is contemplated by the Constitution modernizers: Abo- lition of the electoral college, so that the people may vote directly upon the President, and the election shall depend upon a straight national majority. is possible now for the man with less than half the popular vote to win. But that may take as long to accom- plish as the job completed today. History of Amendment. Here is a thumb-nail history of the twentieth amendment : Pirst approved by the Senate Febru- ary, 1923.

RELATIONS (Continued From First Page.) subject them to any .influence of any character. ‘This means that Japan's participation in the League's 16-month-long search for a solution to the Manchurian prob- lem has virtually ceased. Government officials here, however, are confident that the League will not attempt to apply article 16, despife China's expected demand that this be done. The foreign office spokesman assert- ed that a test of the League's attitude will come when the Japanese proceeds into Jehol. “China_undoubtedly will claim that this will be an act of war and will de- mand the invoking of article 16, but the League's acquiescence is most doubt- ful,” he said. Japan believes that application of paragraph four “will liquidate the whole question,” since nothing the Assembly | may recommend under it can deter Japan's fixed purpose to maintain the state of Manchukuo, set up in Man- churia under Japanese sponsorship, and the inclusion of Jehol with Manchuria. LEAGUE REPORT ORDERED. Subcommittee of Nine Named to Pre- sent Findings. GENEVA. January 23 (#).— The League of Nations Committee of Nine- teen appointed a subcommittee of nine members today to draft a report on facts and recommendations for settle- ment of the Sino-Japanese dispute over Manchuria. The Drafting Committee consists of German, British, French, Italian, Bel- | glan, Czechoslovakian, Swiss, Swedish and Spanish delegates with the Ger- man chairman. The nature of the report was fully discussed, showing a sharp divergence of views. The British wished merely to adopt the Lytton report. (This re- port concluded last October 2 that Japan had not acted in legitimate self- defense in Manchuria and that Man- chukuo was not accorded popular sup- port in Manchuria) Smaller States, however, wanted a more comprehensive | treatment of the subject with the facts brought to the present date. It was expected the drafting of a re- port would require some time and then that consideration of the draft by the whole committee of 19 would certainly develop fundamental differences of opinion about how definitely, if at all, the League was to express condemna- tlfi:fl of the Japanese policy in Man- Cl a. CHINESE EAGER FOR FIGHT. 150,000 to 250,000 Troops Massed in Jehol. SHANGHAI, January 23 (#).—Chi- nese armies massed in Jehol and on the borders of that province were re- liably estimated today at between'15 000 and 250,000 troops. With indica- tions a major Japanese movement into the Chinese-administered province will begin soon, the Chinese commanders seemed eager for a fight. Chang Yu-Lin, governor of Jehol, was reported commanding 36,000 in Eastern Jehol. Another 50,000 from Kalgan were reported in Central and Western Jehol. About 10,000 have faced Shanhai- kwan since that Chinese city was occu- pied by the Japanese -on January 3. Further south on the Shanhaikwan- Peiping Railway were 20,000 between Chinwangtao and Changhi, 50,000 be- tween Changli, where an American mis- sion is located,. and Lwanchow, and 30,000 between Tientsin and the Lwan River. An additional 30,000 are report- ed in the vicinity of Peiping, about 25 l:fls south of the: Southwestern Jehol rder. ———— AUTOPSY IS ORDERED An autopsy was to be performed to- dnylyto ut:;urmlne Lhe’n cause of the dalt.h ear! morning in'Emergency Hos- %ltl(l‘r::tnemud K.

K. to Amendment. (Continued Prom First Page) {as to overcome the time-zone advan- ltua held by Massachusetts. The ma-| | neuver succeeded. Honor of being first to ratify goes to Virginia, which acted last March 4, be- { fore even a copy of the resolution pro- | posing the amendment had been laid | before it. One result of the amendment, Senator Norris said today, is an end to “the disgraceful epectacle of the Senate of the United States winding up in a ridiculous helplessness to function.” | He believes fillbusters will be done away with, for they thrive on lack cf ' time. In the past two weeks the tre- | mendous filibustering operation of Sena- tor Long of Louisiana and Senator Themas of Oklahcma has squeezed the Senate into helplessness just because this short secsion of Congress must ad- Journ six weeks from today. Under the new amendment there will be no short sessions and no set adjournment dates. “Should Effect People’s Wishes.” “Under a democratic form of Govern- ment,” said Norris, “the wishes of the people :hould be crystallized into law i as scon as possible after thelr wishes become known. Under the old system not only are these Representatives just elected by the people prohibited from entering upon their duties, but they must al-o stand iciy by while the old | Congress, many of whose members have | been repudiated at the poclls, proceeds to legislate for the people.” It will no longer be possible, he said, for a repudiated Congress to put on the statute books laws that were actually condemned in the preceding elections. This, he recalled, has been done. “Durimg my service in Congress,” he recalled, “I have seen many instances where some members of thee Senate, who have been defeated for re-election, were absolutely subservient to the will of the executive. And I have seen these same men rewarded for their conduct by appointment to offices bet- ter than the ones the people had taken away from them in the preceding elec- on.» | There will be no more of that either, he was confident. Can “Show by Works.” Another point he made was that un- der the old system a member of the House did not get started until it was necessary for him to engage in a con- | test for renomination and re-election, while now it will be possible for a mem- ber “to show by his works” whether he is worthy of re-election or not. Besides Massachusetts and Nevada, States in which ratification appeared | imminemt, were Utah, Wisconsin and | Georgia. The 36 States which ratified the amendment are Virginia, New York, Mississippi.

Al By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, January 23 —Nearly 50 persons were recovering from injuries today after clashes between National Socialists and political opponents. Thirty-five were injured when in- furiated crowds sought to break up a National Socialist parade to Buelow Platz, where Communist headquarters are located, and later to a cemetery. Four more were injured in minor clashes during the night in Berlin suburbs. Nearly 100 were arrested. Other disorders occurred in Cologne district and at Leipzig. Demonstrations Called. Communists announced they would hold a mass meeting Wednesday in Buelow Platz under the siogan “Berlin stays red.” Socialists announced = demonstration for next Sunday in the Lustgarten. Previously Communists announced an “anti-Fascist (Nazi) week” beginning with a demonstration Tuesday before the imperial palace in the Lustgarten. Government and political circles be- lieved the Communists fully realized yesterday that suppression of the Com-~ munist movement would ensue, if they resorted to organized force. This realization, coupled Wwith the menacing superiority of the police had a cooling effect on the “hotspurs.” Such attempts at counter demon- stratons and clashes with the Nazis as occurred, however, were evidently au- thorized by the Communist party, Trades Unions Aloof. The trades unions had warned their memberships not to be drawn into the controversy. Communists claimed one of their number was killed in the main fight here, but this could not be confirmed. Communists had protested vigorously against the Nazi demonstration and sought ineffectually to hold one of their own. Adolf Hitler, the Nazi leader, rode safely in a high powered automobile to and from the day demonstrations and last night spoke at the Sportspalast with a strong police force on guard. The demonstration in Buelow Platz preceded the unveiling of a tombstone in Nikolai Cemetery for Horst Wessel, who was killed by the Communists several years ago.
