NEW RESOLUTION ASKSWENED QU Higgins Urges House to Re- quest Senate Action on Religious Policy. Representative Higgins, Democrat, of Massachusetts, today introduced in the House a resolution asking the Senate to launch an investigation into alleged religious persecutions in Mexico. Higgins cited a precedent which he said was set by the Sixty-eighth Con- gress, when a House resolution re- quested the Senate to join the World Court. ‘The new resolution reached the floor of the House one day before Republi- can members of the Foreign Affairs Committee had planned to demand action on pending resolutions which recommend severance of diplomatig relations with both Mexico and Russia. ‘Would “Condemn Cruelties.” ‘While Higgins declined-to say so, it was reported on Capitol Hill that his new resolution was drawn with the knowledge of influential House leaders. It provides that the Senate: “Adopt the resolution protesting the anti-religious practices of the present | rulers of Mexico, condemning the cruelties and brutalities that have ac- | companied the campaign of the pres- | ent Mexican government against the profession and practice of religious | beliefs in Mexico and providing for | the conduct of hearings by the Com- mittee on Foreign Relations of the United States Senate and receiving | of such evidendh by the committee as may be presented relating te religious persecution and anti-religious com- pulsion and agitation in Mexico to | determine the policy of the United States with reference to this vital problem and in what it may best serve the cause of tolerance and free- dom.” Protested Before. Before taking the oath as a member of Congress, Higgins asked the Presi- dent to withdraw diplomatic relations with Mexico and to recall Ambassador Josephus Daniels. Later, he intro- duced a resolution to the same end in the House. The resolution presented today was drawn in an effort to bring the matter to the House floor. —_— FACES ASSAULT 'I:RIAL Woman Charged With Bribing Men to Kill Husband. ‘HACKENSACK, N.
