AWARD WOMAN SEAT
IN UPPER HOUSE OF
BRITISH PARLIAMENT
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 2.-The petition Of
Lady Rhondda to sit in the house OF
lords was granted by the committee
on privileges of the house Of lords to-
day. If she takes the seat awarded
her by this ruling she will be the first
woman to sit in the upper house of the
British parliament, as Lady Astor was
in the low chamber.
Lady Rhondda is the widow of Wis
count Rhondda, Great Britain's war
time controller, who died in 1918 from
an illness brought on by owerwork. His
only child was daughter.
Lord Donoughmore presided over
the committee, composed of Lords De-
sart, Haldane, Chelmsford, Hylton,
Wrenbury, Phyllimore and Askwith.
After Lady Rhondda's right to the
present title was established her coun-
sci argued that the disqualification of
sex act had clearly applied to case
like the present, and that the disabil.
ity existing in the past now being re-
moved, Lady Rhondda was entitled to
sit in the house of lords.

OF SITE
AT PENDLET0N SEEMS
VIRTUAL CERTAINTY
(By Associated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, March 2. = Selec-
tion Of the Pendleton site for the new
state reformatory seemed a virtual
certainty today when members of the
relocation commission met this after
noon with Gov. McCray
Five other cities, however, were still
under consideration with at least two,
Carmel and Mooresville, being ranked
high along with Pendleton. Other pro-
posed sites were Clayton, Acton and
Roachdale.
While final decision remained to be
made at the meeting of the commits
sion with the governor, all members
were understood practically to be in
agreement on the Pendleton site. This
site, including slightly more than 1000
acres. is about miles south of Pen
dleton and owned by several persons.
Both steam and electric railroad lines
reach the property.
