SENATE AGREES TO PUSH
TREATY INTO CAMPAIGN
Republicans Heed Ultimatum ls'ued
by lrreconcilables and Refuse to
Modify Reservations..

washington, March n;t.-Sonv,neeo
that for the present their: labors to :
break the peace treaty deadlock are
q waste Of time, Senate leaders NOV
ed today to get the treaty out Of the
way of pressing legislation and to let
the issue raised by the ratification
fight go into the political campaign
for decision.
Under the plan agreed to and ap-
parently acquiesced in by all elements
of both parties, compromise negotia-
tions on the crucial reservation to
article 10 are to be dropped, read
option of the Republican reservation
program of last session is TO be COM
pleted as formality and then final
ratification vote is to be taken to put
the treaty out of the Senate and into
the campaign.
Final Vote Soon.
Some senators predict tonight that
the final vote, which it is conceded
on both sides will record another fail
ure to ratify, would come within the
next three days. Among most OF: the
leaders, however, the prediction was
that the smouldering debate would
take at least the. remainder Of the
week to burn itself out in spite OF
general cooperation to keep it sharp
ly under control. -
The. decision to hasten action was
reached when the Republican leaders
convinced the Democrats would block
ratification unless the article 10 reser-
|vation was modified, determined to
stand by their guns and insist that the
|;reseyvation gos into the ratification
resolution without any change Of sub
stance or Language. In this reafhrm-
atidn they saceeded to a'den,and by
the Republican irreconcilables op-
posed to ratification, Who HAD intsmat-.
| ed that they might adopt methods Of
their own to! wreck the Republican,

The coup, Of the irreconeilables m
thus bringing the treaty fight to a
truce was q virsual repetition Of the
move By, which, several weeks ago.
hey ended the bipartisan compromise
r;eeotiations by bringing pressure to
bear on the Republican leaders when
an agreement seemed imminent. Hold;
ing the balance Of power, their votes
have to be counted on by the Repub-
licans to adopt any Of the proposed
reservations, and in addition they arc
understood to have pointed out that
if their counsels were disregarded
they could easily talk the treaty over
into the campaign under the senate's
rule Of unlimited debate.
Z In fact program of extensive de-
bate had been inaugurated by the ir-
reconcilables members Of the group
having the floor several hours each
day during last weeks session: Tn
der today's agreement they are ex-
pected to not only discontinue that
program but to vote with Republicans
as they did last session in adopting
reservations.
The Senate took no action on the
treaty during today's session, which
was cut short by adjournment on ac-
count of the death of Senator Bank

vote to have been taken today on the

Washington, Dec. 20.-Restrictions on exportation of coin, bullion and currency to Soviet Russia. on dealings or ex- change transactions in Russian roubles, and on credit or exchange transactions with Soviet Russia, were removed today by the treasury and federal reserve board, acting with the approval of the state department
 The treasury and federal reserve board in announcing removal of the re-
 strictions said the action was taken "to give force and effect" to the decision of the state department, as announced sev-
 eral months ago, to remove barriers in the way of trade and communicable with Soviet Russia.
 Removal of the final restrictions on trade with soviet Russia, Urea suly officials explained, in no way means government sanction of commer cial relations with that country, but merely gives full effect to 1 the state departments announcement of July ' that trade would be permitted at the traders risk.
 l Little is expected to be accomplished in the way of onening ur trade with Russia 1 through the removal of the financia, re- | strictions, treasury officials added, le-
 cause in the absence of official relations between the two governments a1l bu+iness transacted would be at the risk of the

BOAT BOTTOM SIDE UP;
 TWO HUNTERS MISSING

Rowland and Ernest Schwabe on their ducking trip last week, from which they did not return, was found bottom-side up and with four oars in it, in Gardiners bay, Long Island, yes terday It had drifted across the Sound Men have gone over to bring the boat back. They probably can tell whether or not the hunters were in it when it capsized but the belief here is that the boat broke away, leaving the men on Duck Island hreakwater and that they were washed off
 A sharpie was washed into Saybrook Junction yesterday and Norman Rand went fro mhere to see it under the i'm pression that it might have been the Rowland skill. l was of different type and the message from Gardiner Bay iden- tifed the real one. The Rowland boat was lapstrake one.
 Men searched about the breakwatel all yesterday for the bodies. As each iSrnan had on hip rubber boots and prob ably carrying ammunition in their pock- | ct it is hardly thought likely the bodies will come to the surface.
