WASHINGTON, Jan. 27zThe provision of Senator Wesley L. Jones in the Shipping Bill re- quiring unanimous consent of the Shipping Board for the sale of any government vessels hereafter has been upheld by the Senate b. a vote of 51 to 25 against the as- sault of the Administration lea l. CTS who declared it meant per manent Federal operation of the Merchant Marine.
 Heeding the advice of Presi- dent Coolidge for an early dis posal of the government fleet il- to private hands, the Republican leaders had waged a determined fight against the Jones provision. The measure drew almost the solid Democratic vote along with the lineup of western Republicans and Independents.

QUIET OF PENN'S
GRAVEYARD MENACED
Macdonald Joins Those Who Pro-
test Against Invasion
by Autos.

LONDON LA).-The old meeting house
at Jordans, Buckinghamshire, where
William Penn and his fellow Quakerg
worshiped and in whose quiet little
graveyard he and several Of his family
are buried. Is in danger Of falling a
victim to the constant advance Of
noisy utilitarianism.
Countless Americans who have VS.
tied the meeting house will remember
the secluded and beautifully wooded
dell in which 1t stands, far from the
noise Of traffic and the rush of every.
day life-a perfect setting for the little
old house of worship and the peaceful
Gods Acre Just outside its door.
An unsentimental district council
which controls the quiet lanes by which
the meeting house is approached now
proposes to widen some of these and
also to build close by a wide road to
accommodate the roaring traffic which
has already ingulfed most of the rural
byroads within many miles of London.
Those who venerate the old place
and cherish its associations have found
champions to protest against the con-
templated action, among them the
former prime minister, James Ramsey
Macdonald. In a letter to the press
they plead for support in their oppo-
sition to the vandalism" and "spoiia-
ton" with which the historic site Is
threatened.
