Hopes to Fix Program That

BY J. BART CAMPBELL.
International News Rerricr.

Republican leaders sought today
to straighten out the Legislative
tangle which is threatening to
keep the Senate in session all sum-
mer.
The proposed application OF
cloture. or restricted debate, to all
revenue and appropriation bills was
regarded generally as a dead is
sue, II only because of the strong
opposition TO II on the Republican
side. although it is to be considered
again at another Republican caucus
Wednesday.
Hope was expressed the McCum-
ber tariff bill, without cloture,
might be passed some time in
July" although no one was willing
TO hazard a guess as to how long
II was likely to lnger in confer.
ence because OF the insistenCe of
House Republican leaders upon
American valuations instead OF the
foreign valuations basis upon which

II was planned to sidetraCk the
McCumber measure for a few days
this week to take up the army ap-
preparation bill, which must be
passed by June 30, the end of the
current fiscal year. The navy ap-
preparation bill is also Cheduled to
become operative July /, the be-
ginning OF the next fiscal year,
and the Republican leaders, anticl-
pating the controversy likely to
rage about it and the army bill
desire TO get both out of the way
as soon as possible.
As reported to the Senate the
army bill authorizes an army of
for $4,000. When the bill passed
fixed at $4,000. Senator Borah is
among those prepared to oppose
vigorously the proposed increase.
Senator McCumber, of North Da-

have the full Republican and Dem
oCratiC membership of the commit
tee pass on the various soldiers
bonus bills today in the hope the
modified House bill sponsored by
him would receive a majority vote.
The Republican members are
about evenly divided between the
McCumber bonus measure and that

rowing provisions which was writ

Cannibalism Practiced
In Russ Famine
Areas
by Universal Service.

PARIS, May 29.-In a room
in the Kremlin in Moscow, very
near Lenin's apartments. have
been collected and exhibited to
the public scores of photographs
and other evidence of the prev
slence of cannibalism in the
famine areas of Russia during
the past year under the Bolshe-
visit regime.
The notices posted on the
walls of Moscow may serve as
guidance on the eve of The
Hague conference for those who
propose to deal with the Soviet
government. The notice reads:
These people are not can
nibals who eat their dead be-
cause they are hungry. but
those cannibals who do not give
of their surplus to the hungry.
The story Of how this grue-
some exhibition came to be
made and of all that it con-
tains is told today in the Jour
nal by Paul Eris. a French
journalist and former war cor
respondent, writing from Mos

Cash Value Put Upon.
Freckles In
New York
BY Universal Service.

NEW YORK. May 29.---
Count your freckles, kids, for
if you have enough of them
you will win a prize.
New York is not going to be
outdone by Main street. Not
if Deputy County Clerk Far
ley can help it, for he has ar
ranged a freckle contest for
boys and girls at an outing to
be given by the Thomas M.
Farley Association of the
Fourteenth assembly district
in Central park on Memorial
Day.
The boy or girl who can dis
play the most freckles will find
they are worth something after
all.
This, following the marble
shooting in front of the City
Hall and the kite-flying con-
test, is another proof that the
rural communities have nothing
on this metropolis.
