ENJOYS TAKE
SHORT ROUTE
Work Through Senators In
stead State Department.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-For the sec
Opd time within two weeks the State
Department today was faced with tue
question of foreign diplomats, going
over its head.' In both cases the dip
lomats have gone to Senator'S without
the formality of working through the
department, which is regarded as a
breach Of diplomatic custom.
The first incident involved Guatemala
and resulted In the State Department de-
manding an explanation from Julio BIZ
aDchi, Guatemalan minister, as to his
action in discussing foreign affairs with
Senator Moses Bianchi apologized and
, the apology was accepted.
Todays difficulty involved Great Brit
ain, the result Of the British embass,
having addressed communication to
| Senator Kellogg's attention to a denial
that England was delaying American
cable messages. State Department Of
hcials were expected TO confer on the
| action Of the British embassy. What
position they would take attracted un,
usual attention In diplomatic circles, be-
cause of the prominence of the Nation
In question. Interest In the case WAS
heightened by speculation as to whether
the State Department would take this
occasion to define the relations Of for
eign diplomats with the United States
| Government.

FAIL TO SETTLE
APPORTIONMENTs
House Must Solve Problem al
This Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Repnbncan
leaders Of the House have not finally
agreed on any plan for reapportionmene
of representation in Congress based on
the last census, which justifes an in
creased membership in the House.
Leader Mondell stated that the Re-
publican caucus on reapportionment last
week did not decide this question. 1t
was the belief of many Republican mem
bers who attended that caucus that a
tentative agreement to enlarge the House
membership was reached through a gen
eral agreement that reduced representa-
ton did not seem practicable or possible
without bitter row within the party.
To hold the House membership at 435,
the present number, 1t will be necessary
under the new census to reduce the repre-
sentation from Maine, Iowa, Indiana,
Missouri; Illinois and a few other States.
In order to prevent reduction in repre-
sentatiOn for Maine and Missouri 1t will
be necessary, according to statistics
worked out by Chairman Siegel of the
House Census Committee, to increase the
House membership to 4S3.
Most Of the House leaders agree that
the problem must be settled at the pres
ent session of Congress. There are forty
three States that hold meetings of their
State Legislatures this spring, beginning
in January and they are asking that the
reappOrtionment be determined that they
may be able to pass the necessary legis-
lation redfstricting their States into the
proper number Of congressional districts.
