TACNA-ARICA VOTE
PRESSED BY CHILE
Registration Now Over, and I'M
mediate Plebiscite Will
Be Demanded.
By the Associated Press.

AFRICA. Chile. May 22.--Chiie IN.
tends to demand that the Tacna africa
Plebiscitary Commission select a date
for the determination Of the plebiscite
on the disputed territory as soon as
possible.
The Chilean delegates assert that
the registration. which ended yester-
day, was carried out regularly and
that there is now nothing further TO
do but to proceed accordingly TO a
selection of the date for the plebiscite.
They maintain that the Peruyians.
who did not participate in the regis
traton. acted entirely Of their own
will.
The possibility OF reopening the
registration books is denounced by
the Chileans, who assert that II is inl-
possible to do this under the electoral
law and that in any case such a pro
cedure would be unfair TO Chile.
Peruvian and American claims that
conditions in the territory render a
free and fair vote problematical, the
chileans contend, are refuted by the
fact that no concrete suggestions for
more fair plebiscite have been
offered.
The Chileans also are opposed TO
the maintenance of the status quo in
the territory pending Washington
negotiations. They assert that the
arbitral proceedings cannot be inter-
rupted by activities Of the State De
partInent in seeking a compromise.

BOTH HOUSES FACE
FARM BILL ACTION
Vote in Senate Soon Sought,
While Tincher Measure
Is Also Backed.

The Senate will tackle farm relief
| legislation tomorrow or Iues0ay II
| Senator McNary Of Oregon, who re
| ported the bill now on the calendar,
has his way.
The supporters of farm legislation
in the Senate are prepared to DO thei
utmost to have a. showdown In the
Senate. They will demand vote be-
fore adjournment. 1t Is doubtful. how
ever. that the Senate will pass any
bill that embodies the same principles
as the IIaugen bill, which was defeat
ed in the House Friday The vote In
the Senate is expected to be closer
than 1t was III the House,
Meanwhile, 1t WAS learned Eester-
day, the administration Is pressing for
action on the Tincher bill In the
House. 1t Is understood that Secretary
Jardine believes that the Tsncher bill
embodies a sound program for dealing
with the surplus crop problem.
Two Bills Withdrawn.
In this connection Representative
Aswell. Democrat, Louisiana, today
introduced Il bill designed to carry
out essential features of the Curtis
Aswell bill and the Tincher credit
plan. Both these measures were be-
fore the House yesterday, but were
withdrawn b. their authors before
they could be voted upon.
The revised Aswell bin proposed "a
loan fund of $l40, 100000 and would
provide new machinery for the mar
keting Of basic agricultural COM
moditieS.
House administration leaders, how
ever, were OF the opinion that the de-
feat Of the LIaugen bill, Pc TO 167.
and the defeat two years ago OF the
MCNary Haugen bill. PA to 1874, placed
the House on record once and for all
as definitely diSapproving such lesisla
ton. They asserted both bills We're
similar in principle and that the House
had conciusively demonstrated it
would not pass any measure embody-
ing an equalization fee to be levied on
basic farm commodities.
It also was predicted by the ad
Ininistration group that 1t was doubt
full ii any bill proposing an equaliza-
ton fee would be permitted to again
come to the House floor for considera-
tian. -.-.,
With House administration leaders
holding this view it is problematical
what steps Western Senators will
take in the drafting of new proposal,
but q majority of the. Senate is
pledged to block adjournment until a
farm relief bill is acted upon.
Old Measures Fused.
The bill reported to the Senate by
Senator McNary and now on the
Senate calendar embodies the ad-
ministration cooperative marketing
bill which has been approved by the
House and the corn belt bill. meas
ure similar to the Haugen proposal,
attached as a rider, This bill Is ex-
pected to be used by the senatorial
farm group as the vehicle for ap-
preaching a compromise measure.
The Western senatorial group plans
to center efforts on shaping a bill to
compose wide differences of opinion in
the hope it will pass the Senate and
be approved by the House.

TANGIER, May - tP).-The
French claim that Abd.el. Krim, Rif.

captured at Targuist.

the protectorate set up by the Paris

they affected the Riff, Krim led his
warriors in revolt against Spain in
1922, and met with some success.
After the Spaniards had withdrawn

ton to the French and launched q

Oujda. in the French zone. The nego-
tiations, however, never really got un-
der way because of his refusal to ac

French and Spanish calling for dis
armament and exchange c1 prisoners.
Soon after the breakdown of the
peace negotiations the French and
Spanish began an intensive attack.

movement from the north and south.
Within the last few days the French
