RADIO IN NEW ROLE
Wireless Phones and Airplanes To
Be Used in Missionary Work
IAssoclated Press DlspaIchJ

-t ASSOCIATED Press DlSpalcnJ
Chicago, November S.-Radio
phones and airplanes as aids in car
rying on missionary work in virtual :
ly inaccessible parts of China will be
used by missionaries of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, announces
the committee on conservation and
advance of that church.
n This was decided upon at meet
ing of missionaries in TZechow,
West Chin Plans were announced
by the Rev. James Maxon Yard,
now executive secretary of the Cen
tenary in China and relayed the
committee in America by the Rev.
Paul Hutchinson, editor of the
Chinese Advocate.
The delegates at the missionary
meeting could see the mountains of
Tibet. 1t is several weeks journey
from Shanghai and there are no
railroads in that region. The TIE
chow territory lies in the heart of
China's wealthiest province SZech-
uen, with 60,000,0B0 inhabitants.
Because of the lack of transporta-
ton facilities and in accessibility Of
some sections missionaries have
been unable previously to reach
many of these localities. Mountain
Gus sections and river wastes have
hindered progress in many direct
ions.
The missionaries, planning work
for the next ten years voted for four
sets of wireless telephones with
which to link up the widely separat
ed main stations, and four two
passenger appliances with which to
reach hitherto inaccessible sections.

LODGE ELECTED

CASTOR MAY RECOUNT
Democrats Replace Republicans
In High Body In Several
of the States
Associated Press Dispatch

New York, November S.1Swept
before a rising tide of democratic
victories in. many states. the ire
mendous republican majorities piled
up in the Harding landslide of two
years ago were knocked right and
left in yesterdays elections.
The republican majorities in the
United States senate and in the house
Of representatives were sharply re-
duced, but republican managers de.
clared they would not be wiped out.
Until belated returns from the
and west began trickling
in today, the democrats actually were
leading in the polls of votes for the
house. The eleventh Michigan dis
trict for the republicans tied the two
parties at 178 each in the race to-
ward the necessary 21S majority and
it became plain that the deciding
votes were yet to come from the west
and middlewest. ...
CASTOR May Recount.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, re-
publican administration leader in the
senate. squeezed through in Massa-
chusetts with plurality of 1,945
fOJSS III nSdTly nlIIlOQ VOJeS cast,
and friends of Colonel CASTOR, his
democratic opponent, were talking
of asking for a recount.
In Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey,
New York, Michigan and West Vir-
ginia democratic senators replacing
republicans had either been conced-
ed or were indicated on the face of
the returns. The Republicans had an
senatorial victory to their
credit however, in Nebraska, where
R. B. Howell displaced Senator Gil
bert M. Hitchcock, a democratic
leader, and prospects of another in
Ohio, although today's returns show
ed Senator Pomerene, democrat, cut
ting down the lead of his republican
opponent, Representative Fess.
Not single republican gain in
the house of representatives had an
peared today to count against the
inroads the democrats made in ey-
cry state. Various causes. ranging
from prohibition to tariffl were being
brought forward as responsible for
the results.

TlDi7 Cities To Ask
For PartofA uto Tax
Demand to Be Made BY Business
Men of ST. Paul, Minneapolis
And Duluth

Demand by Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Duluth to the next legislature
for refunds of part of the motor ve-
hicle tax money for use on arterial
streets in those cities is forecast in
recent newspaper reports. Under the
Babcock plan the funds are used eX
clusiYeiy Oh the trunk highways
Outide tnoSe cities. 4" ~-'.
Postponement OF Nicollet avenue
paving in Minneapolis followed the
proposal OF legislative night and
the agitation for change of laws in
st. PAUL at political rally.
Twin city businessmen stated that
car owners in Minneapolis st. Paul
and Duluth pay approximately ST.
truck taxes which goes on highways
outside those cities-all stopping at
the city limits. They declared that
provision should be made for state
improvement of trunk highways
running through the large as well as
the small cities and villages and the
rural, districts. 1t was stated further
that under the state aid law for f.
nancing local road improvements
Hennepin, Ramsey and st. Louis
counties pay nearly four times as
much as they received in return
while other counties gain according
ly.
The state highway bulletin states
that there is little prospect. of any
change at this >time to extend trunk
highway Improvement inside the
three large cities. The advantage to
the smaller cities, villages and rural
sections, however, will continue only
so long as present provisions stand
and will be affected to some extent
by action of the Legislature OF 1923
In providing funds for the state
highway program during the next
two years.

URGE RULES CHANGED
League of Nation Finds Handicap
In the Unanimity idea

League OF Nation Finds Handbag
In the Unanimity idea
h Geneva, Switzerland, October 13
-tCorrespondence of The Associa
ted Press1-Several influential dele
gates to the third assembly of the
League of Nations are going home
with the conviction that the rules
of the next assembly ought to be
changed so as to make the proceed
ings more parliamentary, more like
the debates in the American con :
gress, for instance. They, hold that
the unanimity rule, which thus faI
has applied to deliberations of com
mittees as well as those of the full
assembly, is choking out interest
and that, unless this rule is abolish
ed, the proceedings will become
duller and duller as the work OF the
Assembly becomes more and more
confined to routine questions. The
regulation can be abolished for
itself, but an amendment to the
covenant is necessary to do away
with unanimity in decisions of the
full assembly.
The committees, under the unan-
unity rule" said one delegate, ''are
made to look like machines for the
production of compromises while
the Assembly proceedings run into
an anti climax in the closing week
of the session, because all important
questions have been decided -unan
imously in committee. There is
nothing for the full session toidc but
approve. 1t can debate over and over
again the points that were contested
in committee, but under the unan :
unity rule it can change nothing The
Assembly rules ought to encourage
minority reports on questions that
are contested in committee, giving
opportunity for final decisive debate
in the assembly"
The unanimity rule has thus far
resulted in compromise on nearly
every important question before the
Assembly. Sometimes there are
double compromises, first in COM
mittee and then in the Assembly.
What some delegates criticize most
in the rule is that it sometimes Civ
es an air of insincerity to the decis-
ions. For instance in the debate on
the resolution in favor of mutual
guarantees of security, several ora
tors spoke against the proposition
while others said their countries
could not accept 1t, nevertheless the
vote for the resolution was unani-
nous, ..-
