And over all _ • • tiangs the 'prospect that President K' ~r~ Hoover will veto certain of the most p; i. Important measures If they reach the 'White House. * As for balancing the budget, that probably will have to wait for the tpecia) session of the new congress. " President Hoover apparently has abanbope that lt_ can be accom- ?; f |>lished at this- session^ and the Democrats, including President-Elect Roosevelt, give no Indication that they have iflecided how It should be done. They ,»ow deny that they plan to raise the Income tax, the leaders who conferred %-ith Mr. Roosevelt repudiating their . " frst statements that such was theli Intention. Repreeentative Henry T. ' Itainey of Illinois, majority leader, fieclares congress can balance the federal budget without the Imposition of additional taxes, except a tax on beer, ftnd his statement is greeted with general expressions of approval from the ^taxpayers and many members of congress. He says the budget should bebalanced by cutting down the cost of government--a proceeding that has the iiominal approval of both p/vties--and that the imposition ot a heavier tax burden on the people would be to "in- *1 L,i " \lte revolution." All of which sounds ;"flne, but so far congress has failed to * rednee%ovei nmental costs In any ap fipreclable degree The amount it will ' ^ave Id this session may not be as 1. * much as $100,000.<»00. &V % Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, irv' one of the most astute of the Democrats, agreed with the Rainey program. "We.H he said, "are going to " try to retrench sufficiently to avoid levying of new taxes. It Is too early now to tell just how close we can come to balancing the budget through economies. Our plan Is to hold off on > revenue legislation for several weekB while we try to secure enactment of the beer bill, re-enactment of the gaso line tax and all possible economies. ; When we know how much we can raise and Save it will be time enough to talk of new taxes." I: • L - - V* DEMOCRATIC logrolling and Republican tactics of hampering marked the debate on the domestic allotment farm relief bill In the house. Even If It were passed by houses and senate it probably would be subjected to veto by the President. The measure was loaded down with amendments by representatives who refused to be controlled by their party leaders. Proposals to include rice within the benefits of the act were adopted 99 to 24; peanuts were added by the close teller vote of ill to 110 and the butter fat products of the dairy industry included 102 to 75 on a rising vote. When It was finally assured of passage by the house, the Roosevelt farm relief program was rounded out with the introduction In the senate of companion bills designed to lighten the burdens of agricultural mortgages through the use of further federal aid and federal money. vyf?v •k'-~ sr * SENATOR BORAH'S assertion in the senate that France^ was Justified In her stand on the war debt because President Hoover In bis con ference with M. 1-aval had given the European debtor nations reason to believe their obligations to the United States would be scaled down If* reparations were reduced brought on a sharp debate between the Idaffo gentleman and Senator Hiram Johnson of California. The row started with the reading in the senate of letters from Secretary of State Stimson and Secretary of the Treasury Mills denying that Mr. Hoover had given Laval any such assurance. These denials, Borah •aid, were Inconclusive, though it is hard to see how they could be more specific. Johnson thereupon soundly berated Borah for his stand, and satirically scolded him for not Kiving the senate Senator Johnson the "facts" known to Mm w"hen the moratorium was before that body in 1931. The exchange of personalities between the two erstwhile close friends was acrimonious. Though Mr. Roosevelt declined to co-operate with President Hoover on the war debt question, be is getting " ready to tackle this and other Inters national matters Immediately after his Inauguration. In pursuance of this plan he held long conferences in Net* Yorfc with Secretary Stimson, Col. Edward M. House, who Is an authority On foreign affairs; James W. Gerard, American ambassador to Germany at the time the United States entered the war; Sumner Welles, who was assistant secretary of state in the YVllson administration, and Senator Swan •son of Virginia, tone of our delegates to the disarmament conference." Over In France there is a growl ru' belief that Mr. Roosevelt secretly en gaged himself to a drastic revision of the war debts, and the public alsp re fuses to accept Laval's denial that President Hoover promised him a re duction. «___ • y A S LAID before the senate, the reso ** lution for repeal of the Eight, eenth amendment was a compromise between the drys and wets on the Judiciary committee and satisfied no one. It is designed to bar the saloon, retains for the federal government a certain amount of control ov£t the liquor traffic, aims to protect dry States from Importations of liquor from wet neighbors, and provides for submission of the amendment trt state legislatures rather tHan to special state conventions. Speaker Garner and Representative Rainey said the resolution In that form would not even be Introduced In the house If It were passed by the senate, because It does not conform to the Democratic platform. PRESIDENT HOOVER In special message asked coogress to ratify the long-pending international arms convention or to enact legislation at this session, giving the Chief Execu -tive wider powers In placing embargoes on shipments of arms to belliger ents. Neither request is likely to be granted. Chairman Borah of the sen ate foreign relations committee has op posed the arms convention for years and Is still against it, he and' others holding that it would not Interfere with the enterprises of the greater powers, but would discriminate against small nations. Senator Shlpstead of Minnesota said he could approve neither plan, and some of the Republicans, notably Representative Hamilton Fis'.i of New York, declared themselves against them. u 1/ INGFISH" LONG'S filibuster against the Glass banking bill amj$ed a handful of senators and a lot of visitors In the galleries, but kept the senate from accomplishing anything, lluey made a number of sarcastic allusions t o S e n a t o r G l a s s , which rather annoyed the Virginian. He asserted that when recently he said he k n e w m o r e a b o u t branch banking than Glass, ho really "waB n o t g i v i n g h i m s e l f much credit." Then he produced a big Bible and read from Isaiah: "Woe unto them that Join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, th£t they may be placed alone In the midst of the earth." "Just change that to branch banks," he shouted, "and you've £ot what'll happen to the independent bankers." "If you don't take the house of Morgan into cc asideration,'" was another contribution, "you ain't going to regulate many banks with any bill you pass here. The house of Morgan is the undisputed kingftsb of the banking business." • ' ' I-ong's plan to end the depression was characteristic. He would survey the country, order production to cease of any product of which there Is now plenty, Issue ten billion dollars of fed eral bonds for food, clothing, and public works, and "Just a little capital levy" on the rich would* pay fflif all of this program. Sen. Glass IN RESPONSE to • special from the President urging "emergency action" to stave off wholesale forced foreclosures, congressional lead trs promised s partial revision of the bankruptcy laws at this session- The bouse Judiciary committee began con slderatlon of a bill embodying the prln clples suggested by Mr. Hoover to ease the debt situation during the present period of depression. fALVI^ COOLIDOSTS found among his personal papers snd filed for probate.

Gen. Tsal Ting-Kai DESPERATE fighting for possession of the rich Jehol province was going on between the Japanese and the Chinese armies toward the close of the week. The scene of the battle was Chiumenkow pass In the Great Wall, the 'Pass of the Nine Gates." ThaaJapanese, employing infantry, cavalry, artillery and bombing planes, at tacked fiercely and oc cupied the northern end of the pass, but the Chinese concentrated at the southern end and put up a stiff resistance, being aided by the mountainous qature of the country. Japanese plants flew far across the border of the province and bombarded the city of Jehol and other towns, the war office justifying this action by. charging that the presence of Chinese troops there constituted a menace" to the Japanese forces. Of course the Chinese were on their own soil, but a /little thing like that does not deter japan. The Tokio war office claimed victory at Chiumenkow. Gen./Tsai Tlng-kai, who commanded the Chinese Nineteenth route army in its gallant defense of Shanghai a year ago, has come to the front and asked that he be permitted to lead his army from Its encampment In Ftikien province against the Japanese invaders. He has little confidence In the stamina of Marshal Chang and seeks to replace him as commander In the Shanhaikwan region. The Chinese Natlonalift^government handed to all the foreigrT^Tegations In Peiplng a sharply worded note stating that Japan, a signatory of the protocol of 1901, had taken an unfair advantage of the terms of the protocol when its troops attacked and occupied Siianhaikwan. For this reason, the protest said, the Chinese government could riot be held responsible for whatever may be the result of Chinese resistance against Japanese aggression.

For instance, the Geological Survey has conducted the study of volcanoes over a period of years. The purpose of these extensive studies is to predict and thus alleviate the ills Resulting from volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Thousands of lives and much property have been saved as a result of their findings. Even Congressmen felt the effect of the hard times. Although a cam paign year, approximately 1,000,00® fewer copies of speeches were ordered than during the preceding year. Apparently the legislators realized the futility of scattering printed speeches in their districts for the franked envelope business fell off by merely 12,• 000,000 envelopes. However, the printing of more than 10,000,000 bills, resolution and amendments in the fiscal year of 1932 cost $544,678 an increase of $238,918 ever this legislative expenditure in the previous fiscal year. The number of copies were doubled. The insistence of- public officials to correct their speeches or reports provides a costly item to the government. During the last 10 years office corrections have added more than $2,000,000 to the taxpayers burdens. Mrs. Vanrasdale is spending a few days with her son Lso Vanrasdale ot Parte Ridge.

La Paz, a colorful Indian city, highest capital in the world, is one of the favorite haunts of travelers taking the cruises down the West Coast of South America which •ail from New York and California •very two weeks. The Calle Mercado which climbs-steeply from the Plaza Ban Francisco, is lined with dark little stalls hung with llama skins, Indian blankets and rugs, and overflowing with colorful pottery, blankets, carved bone replicas of Inca relics, dolls, and jugs for chicha, the native drink of the West Coast. This street is full of action. Gamblers crowd around wheels of fortune. Orange-colored monkeys dance to the strains of a guitar. Llamas laden with rice, or coffee, step haughtily over the cobbles. Indian vendors bake maize in wide corn husks on the street. And Cholos sit on the sidewalk and spin brigM-hued. yarn. The Indians, topped with stiff hats and wrapped in blue or red ponchos, have regular "character" faces bulging with cocoa leaves which they all chew. The Cholos swirl along in a dozen garishly colored, billowing skirts--looking for all the world like beach umbrellas.

AUTO ACCIDENTS LAST YEAR COST 29,000 LIVRS Statistics from a prominent insurance company at Hartford, Connecticut, indicate that the company's survey had set a total of dead in the United States from automobile accidents in 1932 at about 29,000 persons The preliminary report of the deaths was based upon complete statistics received from forty-two states and the District of Columbia. Although the fatalities this year *re around 14 per cent less than last year other statistics from states having more than 35 per cent of the country's total population show an increase r-t 6 per cent in the nurrjber of persons injured non-fatally per accident, and a combined increase of 5-8 per cent in the number of persons killed and in jured non-fatally per accident. In the east north central group of states, comprising Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohiq, with figures reported from all on a comparable bask, the decrease in deaths were shown to be 16.52 per cent by the company's survey. The New England, middle Atlantic, south Atlantic, and Pacific coast states failed to show as large a percentage decrease in deaths as is indicated for the entire country.
