SENATE GOES FAR
ON MUSCLE SHOALS
BUT GETS NOWHERE

Washington, Jan. 13-Out Of a well
ter of votes, arguments and parlia-
mentary tangles. the senate emerged
tonight to find itself in exactly the
same position with respect to Muscle
Shoals that it was when the subject
first was taken up six weeks ago.
Completing the three point circuit
of measures on the subject, the sem
ate wound up with the once-rejected
Norris plan of government opera ton
before it and the once approved I'm
derwood private leasing bill again
pending as a substitute.
Chronologically the events of the
day were:
Tho Jones bill to refer the subject
to a commission for a report as to
final disposition was approved, IS to
80, over the Underwood bill. which
had been accepted last week over the
Norris plan, 4S to 81.
The original Norris bill, in slight
ly amended form. then was accepted
rs substitute for the Jones bill, 40
to 80.
Senator Underwood then offered
his bill in amended form as a substi-
tute for the Norris measure and fail
ing to have it ruled out on a point of
order, supporters of the Norris plan
renewed their assault upon it.
Finally, the senate threw the whole
subject aside until tomorrow and
proceeded to consideration of the
first deficiency appropriation bill
Whether the Underwood bill IS
accepted or rejected. Senator Jones,
Republican, Washington, says he will
offer his substitute anew after
amending it so as to provide for a
commission of five to Investigate in
stead of a commission Of.three.

ITALIAN CHAMBER
TAKES NO ACTION
ELECTORAL BILL

Rome, Jan. 13,-(By A. P.)-Another
session of the chamber of deputies
passed off serenely today after it had
been formally organized by the cleo
ton of Antonio Casertano as the pre-
siding officer. Signor Casertano was
chosen by vote of 239 out of a total
Of 2S5 votes cast. Forty-one ballots
were blank and five others defective.
Spectators who crowded the CALLER
les with the expectation of a display
of political fireworks were disappoint-
ed. Except for the election of Signor
Casertano. who will replace Signor
Rocco the newly appointed minister of
justice. the session was devoted to
clearing up various problems which
had to be gotten out of the way be-
fore consideration of the new electoral
bill could be taken.
This bill is expected to come up be-
fore the chamber tomorrow. Even
then it is a question whether any real
forensic battles will take place. par
ticularly if the Aventine opposition
members do not return to their seats.
report tonight. however. that the Com
munists at secret meeting had decid-
ed to resume their seats when the cleo
toral bill is discussed. This report is
considered credible, since the Commun-
lists are known to oppose the measure.
The principal objection to it is that it
virtually DISTINGUISHES the Italian
peasants by the provision granting
plural votes to various groups of cit
liens.
The only notable event Of today's po-
litical developments was the publica-
ton of the report presented by Pre-
mier Mussolini in support of the bill
he introduced Monday against Freema-
sonry. The report was a sort Of philo-
sophical dissertation in which the pre-
mier declared that the bill was intend
ed to grant the greatest liberty of as
ISOLATION to the greatest number of
citizens, instead of curtailing the right
of assembly as critics Of the bill al
legged.
