FARM |SSUESPUT
UP TO CONGRESS
Coolidge Will Not Call Extra
Session if Action Lays
After March 4. T

Although disappointed that his
farm relief program has not been
given priority by leaders in Con-
gress. President Coolidge Is in
olined to accept their Judgment and
has no intention Of calling an extra
session of Congress to consider farm
legislation after March 4.
With members of Congress from
the agricultural States taking the
position that there is no need for
mmediate action, the President
would regard their decision as ma
tured judgment.
These members of Congress, the
President holds, should have better
information than the Executive, as to
the need for immediate action. and he
Is disposed to leave the question square
ly up to Congress- He has laid before
the legislative body recommendations for
relief worked out by a commission of
experts, has notified leaders that he
desires legislation based on these rec
concentrations put ahead and feels
that the responsibility lies with Con-
gress.

ceed.

SOVIET SEES i. S.
RECOGNITION SOON
Friendly Relations Expected d
This Year, Following
Other Nations Lead.
By the Associated Press.

MOSCOW. February 3.-Soviet Rus
sia Is daily becoming more sanguine
OF American recognition, and Bolshe-
Vik officials seldom lose an opportun-
ity to tell the people that the United
States Will be forced to re-establish
relations with Russia before the end
OF the present year.
Addressing a large gathertng q
of Kharkov Communists yesterday,
Christian Rakovsky, Soviet charge
d'affaires in London, who is on a spe-
cial speech-making tour, said
II am audacious enough to prophesy
that the United States will recognize
US this year, not because I have re-
ceived information from private
sources, but because the prevailing
international situation, brought about
by the recognition OF Soviet Russia by
France, Japan, Italy and other coun-
tries, Will compel America to recognize
u.s. too.
acceptance by Europe of the
Dawes plan means that the United
States will play an increasingly large
part in international affairs. 1t means
indirectly that the United States will
be obliged finally to recognize Soviet
Russia.

4PO[@c[ JUDGES
URGED IN HOUSE
Amendment to D. C. Bill to
Ask Doubling of
Present Court.

When the item for the District
Police Court is reached in the House.
which today takes up consideration of
the District appropriation bill for the
coming fiscal year, an amendment Will
be offered increasing the number of
Judges from two to four, and author
izing whatever enlargement of the
court building as may be necessary to
provide adequate accommodations, ana
also changing the requirements regard
Ing jury trial with view to expediting
the transaction of business.
This new legislation, which is sepa-
rate and distinct from the proposal
embodied in the model traffic bill in
troduced in the Senate today, will be
proposed under an agreement between
the House legislative committee on
District affairs and the appropria-
tions committee. Either Acting Chair
man Zihlman of the House District
committee or Representative William
Ayres, Democrat, of Kansas, a member
OF the subcommittee on District appro-
priations, will offer the amendment.
Representative Thomas L. Blanton of
Texas has agreed that he will not
raise point of order against the
proposal.
Would Limit Jury Trials.
Representative Zilhman will prob
ably offer as an amendment Dill
which he has just introduced which
proposes that section AZ of the Code
of Law for the District Of Columbia be
changed to as to provide that the Po-
lice Court in the District shall con-
sist of four judges and that this
court, sitting in banc, shall have pow
er to make rules affecting the busi-
ness of the court not inconsistent
with law, including the selection OF
a presiding judge.
The Zihlman bill further provides
that the second paragraph of section
A of the District Code be amended to
read as follows:
I'm all cases where the accused
would not by force of the Constitu-
tion of the United States be entitled
to a trial by jury, the trial shall be
by the court without a jury, unless
in such of said last named cases,
wherein fine or penalty may be more
than $500 or Imprisonment as pun
ishment for the offense may be more
than 80 days, the accused shall de-
mand a trial by jury, in which case
the trial shall be by jury.
I'm all cases where the said court
shall impose a fine, 1t may in default
of the payment of the fine imposed,
commit the ueIenQanL Tor Sucn d
term as the court thinks right and
proper, not to exceed one year"
Seek to Cut Delays.
The purpose OF this change is to
make it less easy to demand jury
trial, which has heretofore been done
in an effort to delay justice by throw
ing into the court more jury trials
than it could handle.
Representative Frank H, Funk of
Illinois and Representative Frank
Murphy of Ohio, both members of the
subcommittee on District appropria-
tions, are understood to SUPPORT Rep
resentative Ayres in the effort to get
this Improvement in the Police Court
machinery.
The hearings show that Represent
ative Ayres has taken a keen inter
est in the subject and devoted much
study to this effort to relieve the
situation.
