In Disputed Area

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-Rp-The
placidity with which the Pan-Amer-
Ican conference has been awaiting
replies from Bolivia and Paraguay
on a protocol for Cancellation has
been disturbed. Disquieting news
has come with Paraguayan charges
that Bolivian troops have again oc-
cupied Fort Vanguardia and have adj
vanced II miles farther into the ter
ritory over which the dispute arose.
Paraguay in its communication to
its legation here said that "a very
grave situation has again been cre-
ated. because Paraguay alone cannot
avoid new fighting"
In making public the dispatch from
his government, DR.. Juan V. Ramirez.

been held, that Bolivia never re-
spects territory rights as agreed up
on in pacts."

NO FACTION ON

Continued from sage one.l
question will depend upon Presi-
dent-eleet Hoover's position in the
premises"
II is believed that considerable
pressure will be brought by the Mis-
sissippi Waterways Association and
others interested in waterways and
port development to secure action
during the special session on the bill
upon which a favorable report was
rendered by the river and harbor
committee of the house at the close
of the last session. The special ses-
sion will he devoted principally to
farm relief. and proponents Of wa
terways and harbor development as
sert that water transportation is n
necessary adjunct to farm relief and
that an effort will be made to have
the measure presented upon that
basis during the special session.
Reports from Washington indicate
that proponents Of the majority OF
projects included in the pending bill
are opposed TO action during the
present short session. as they be-
lieve that a veto by President Cool
idge would have considerable effect
in determining the policies Of the
incoming administration.

Culture is given careful consideration
