worry.
As Smith win face . thorough-
" hostile Senate. ready and even
eager TO return him to privat

their efforts would be directed
toward forcing an early decision
on the Illinois appointee.

ate by Q majority vote.
Lastly, the Smith foes declar
that. whether the oath is given o.
not. he can be denied q seat In The

ground that his campaign conduoe
disqualified him.

Famous Simplon Terminus Is Ex-

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
ANGORA. Turkey.-Turkey's isolat-
ed Anatolian capital has drawn nearer
10 Europe with the Inauguration of
the first direct rail connections be-
tween London and Angora, established
by the continuation of the famous
Simplon Express from its former ter
minus at Constantinople to Angora.
Passengers from London and other
European centers bound for Angora
are transported across the Bosporus
by Turkish ferries, pending fruition
OF ambitious plans for the construc-
tion Of tunnel or a suspension bridge
to link the Asiatic and European
shores.
This new linking Of Angora with
the Occident is considered here to be
another feather in the new Turkeys
EuropeaniZed cap. The fact that the
Simplon Express will shorten the An
ra-Constantinople run by four hours
IS heralded as a means Of tightening
the bonds between the nations former
and present capitals.
