SENATE WILL
DISCUSS WORLD
COURT DEC. II
4 Administration Leaders Con.
fident of Majority for
Favorable Action

Washington, Dec 4.-P) The
world court and the treaty with Tur-
key are the principal subjects within
the realm Of foreign affairs that will
await the attention of the new senate
when it convcueS next Monday.
Both face some rather determine
opposition. but admin istratlon lead
ers are confident that the required
twoth rdS ma orIty for favorable ac-
ton on each can be obtained.
Under an agree entered into
by the senate at the special session
last March. the question Of Amcri-
can adhesion to the world court will
be taken up on December II. but
there appears now to be little pros
pect that it Will be pushed to Il con-
clusion at that time.
Early Action Desired
No definite date for consideration
Of the Lausanne treaty with Turkey
has been fixed. but President Cool
ridge and Secretary Kellogg desire
early action and since Chairman
Borah, Of the foreign relations COM
mittee. is in accord with their view
this matter may be disposed Of be
fore there is vote on the world
court.
Whether the question Of American
recognition of the RussiOn Soviet
government is to come in for any eX-
tensive senate discus sion is not clear.
Senator Borah is hopeful that there
soon will be change in state depart
ment policy on this matter. but has
made no announcement of any inten-
tion to press his resolution which
would place the senate on record as
favoring recognition.
Other Treaties Pending
Besides the world court and
Lausanne treaty. one other treaty
on extradition with Turkeys pend
ing before the senate and four others
are before the foreign relations com
mittee. Making up these four are
treaties with Great Britain guar
anteeing American rights in man
date territories, The Cameroons.
East Africa and Togoland. and an
international treaty for the suppress
sion Of the circulation of obscene
publications.
Two other treaties negotiated since
the last session arc to be submitted
by the president early in the session.
One is a commercial pact with Hun
gary and the other the internation-
al convention touching the traffic
in arms negotiated recently at
Geneva.

Federal prohibition agents believe
they have smashed the most powerful
rum smuggling syndicate on the
Atlantic coast with the arrest Of I?
men, including the alleged head of
the ring, William Dwycr. widely
known sportsman and race track
owner.
The syndicate, they charge. brIbed

system of control over both whole
sale and retail liquor trade running
into millions of dollars annually.
Six members Of the coast guard
are among the prisoners gathered in
yesterday, after six months inves-
tigation. They face court martial.
The roundup, described as the
greatest in the history Of prohibi-
tion.' was still underway today with
"A federal warrants waiting to be

SMALL CHANCE
OF CHAN GlNG
SENATE RULES
Dawes Will Get Little Sup
port in Effort to Prevent
Filibustering.

Washington, Dec. 4.-(P) In his
role of crusader for reform of the
rules of the Senate. Vice President
Charles G. Dawes will occupy at the
approaching session of congress Il
position unique in the history of his
high office.
Most vice presidents Of the past
have been content to merely preside
over the senate without undert ing
to influence the affairs of that aug
ust body, but Mr.. Dawes with charac-
teristic vigor threw down the gaunt-
let in his inaugural add dress last
March 4, and since has taken his
fight to the country.
Since he has neither voice nor
vote in senate atfairs-except in the
event Of tie ballot-there Is no
small amount of speculation as to
how he will proceed further with his
campaign. His idea has been that if
the people could get the facts about
the rule permitting one man fill
buster they would bring sufficient
pressure to bear to have that rule
changed.
Little Change In Sentiment
As the Congress assemblies there is
no indication, however, that there has
been any material change in the SEN
ate sentiment on this point and lead
ers on both sides say frankly there
is little likelihood that any effort at
modification can make headway dur
ing the new session.
Opponents of any change in the
rules, Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis, have not forgotten the lecture
which the vice president read to the
Senate in the presence of the presi-
dent, the supreme court, the house
and the diplomatic corps and the
abrupt manner in which he swept
aside the time-honored custom Of
swearing in new senator's in small
groups.
Administration leaders during the
brief special session Of the senate
last March we're able to hold off any
open and ytriolic attacks on Mr..
Dawes from the floor such rs some
senators had planned, but they expect
some efforts at the "hazing" of the
vice president during the next few
months.
Gulf Is Widened
The gulf which was opened between
the vice president and some senators
on March has been widened by the
campaign he has conducted during
the summer in the states of some SEN
ators who come up for reelection
next year.
These senator's naturally have not
taken kindly to this campaign and
they can be counted upon to oppose
the vice president in his rules fight
with all Of the vigor and influence at
their command.
Mr.. Dawes has some support in the
Senate itself for d modification Of
the rule under which single senator
at the close of session can block
legislation or even at any time in
the session long delay final vote by
means Of a filibuster
Senator Curtis of Kansas, the Re-
publican floor leader. and Senator
Underwood of Alabama, a former
Democratic leader, favor change in
the rules, but they concede that there
is an overwhelming sentiment in the
senate against any change that will
put check on the right of senator's
to speak as long and as often as they
may desire on any subject.

Different Plan For DormitOries
Dorniitory buildings. for which
there is great need at some institu-
tions, will not be considered in the
general plan, but will be provided
by different method, another part
of the general plan provides.
Under this system the state would
guarantee bonds to be issued by in
dividuai institutions to raise money
to meet their dormitory needs. The
bonds would be retired at maturity
from money collected from students
| for the use Of the buildings. This
plan appears to offer a way out of
rather difficult situation, Murphy
| said He explained that he does not
| feel that the needs of various insti-
tutions for new dormitories will be
met by appropriation. Presidents of
North Dakota University, Grand
Forks, North Dakota Agricultural
College, Fargo, and Of the Normal
Schools at Valley City and Minot
have especially stressed their need
for more housing space for stu
dents in recent communications to
! the board.
Committee Appointed
Final recommendations as to the
proper method of meeting the hous-

The relation Of normal school
courses to those at the University

considered further today. Among
| proposals to be considered, as the
result of objections by the two
larger institutions to the competi-

have four year courses and give de-
grees, will be one to restore to the
two larger institutions two-year nor

were abandoned when the normal
school became able to meet the de-
mand for sulh courses of study. The
meeting will close tonight.
