RUSSIANS EYES
 TURNED ID ]. S.
Soviet Official Says Moscow Has Failed to Move Food
 to Starvation Area

MOSCOW, Dec. 2S-(By the Asso- ciated Press)- The bread problem overshadowed everything else in the all-Russian Soviet congress, which closed tonight. How to feed 20,0O0,- 900 hungry persons in the Volga, how to get seeds, horses and cattle, and how to persuade peasants to re- establish agriculture and prevent a general collapse were subjects of questions by workmen.
 M. Ossinsky, commisar for agricul- ture, was the man to whom everyone turned for answers. He directed his eyes to the west and said that help must come from abroad, particularly America. Of the 30,000,000 poods of grain expected from America. he de- clared, 20.000000 were necessary to feed families until the harvest and the remainder was needed for seed. Half of this amount would be maize. He pointed out that 45.000.000 poods would really be needed to prevent disaster.
 Thus far. the government has as signed only 25,000.000 poods, of which the commisar declared, not a single pood had been moved to the famine area. Ukraine and southeast Russia required much help to prevent an agriculture catastrophe he said.
 M. Ossinsky's statements moved the congress to increase the agricul- tural budget from 27,000,000 to 36,- 000000 gold rubles. It also instruct ed the finance commfsar to levy a special tax of 6,000,000 rubles for fam inc relief.

Leadership in Tax and Tariff Legislation Fights Proves
 Too Much For Veteran

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.- Senator Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania. died here late tonight after a brief illness.
 Senator Penrose, who was 61 years of age, had been complaining for some days, but it was stated repeated ly by his friends that his condition was improving and that he would be able to resume his duties in. the sem ate next week. His recent work as chairman of the finance committee ln handling tax and tariff legislation was greater physical hardship, his friends say, than he himself had real iZed.
 Dies at 11:3o O'clock
 Reports from Senator Penrose's apartment at the Wardman Park hotel tonight indicated that his condi- tion was not so good and physicians were constantly with him. The first notice of his death, which occurred at 11:3O o'clock, was telephoned by a physician from his apartment to the hotel desk.
 Senator Penrose died of pulmonary thromobosis as a result of heart fail ure, Dr. Roy D. Adams, his physician. announced. Dr. Admas and two nurses were the only persons in the room when the end came.

 Also Swings Into Line
RECRUITING IS HALTED

DUBLIN, Dec. 31.-(By the Associ- ated Press) )-One of the narrowest majorities in favor of ratification of the Irish treaty was recorded today by the Cork county councl:. wnIcn voted Is to IA, at meeting sum moned by the lord mayor.
 A resolution was moved proposing to leave the decision to the Dali Eireann, but after long discussion, an amendment was carried that ''as there is no alternative 60 acceptance, the treaty should be ratified"
 After a ratification resolution was carried by the Donegal county councI, one member, Duffy, presented his res igration, saying he was unable to ac- cept the treaty but realized that a great majority of his constituents de- sired ratification.
 Others Follow suit
 The Cavan council, the Leitrim county council, and the Tipperary ur- ban council were among many other bodies adopting resolutions in favor of ratification.
 Owing to the uncertainty uI sre- lands future. recruiting has been sus- pended temporarily to all Irish in fantry regimentst, except the Irish Guards.
 In Ulster, the feeling in favor of the treaty is reported as even stronger than in south Ireland.
 The treaty is also being debated in the county committees of the Sim Fein organization, and all those who have already met have declared in it's  reached a division of opinion similar to that in the Dali, showing an active minority disappearing.
 It is evident that the Sim Fein organization is seriously ulvfded, and whatever the decision of the Dail, the country will be ranged in two hostile camps, unless a compromise is speed fly effected, Of which there is yet not a sign.
 Ratification is regarded as certain, but that will not terminate the con- troversy.
 No Official O. K. Yet
 Technically, no oyTTc,al step for ratification has been taken. It will be the duty of the British government, acting in Ireland, to summon the rati- flying body, which will consist of the members elected to the house of ocm- mons for southern Ireland. I'm house of commons itselr, as such does not exist, and could not come into being unless the members took the oath of allegiance to the king {; hence the phrase in the treaty def ing the ratifying body merely as members elected to serve it.
 The meeting will be only for rati'r
