 However, I later learned that an injunction had been secured. but not before the telegram had been sent. It isn't our intention to close the school permanently at all: only to make a complete reorganization of the faculty"
 Dr. Shields attributed upheaval in Des MOines to the utter weak ness and Nacillation of President Wayman and that there was a weakness of character manifest ln the evident fact he for some years used academic degrees to which ne had no legal title.
 His determination, when faced with the necessity of a thorough in- vestigation of his degrees. to permit the student body to be reused in a frenzy of hatred by reports whicn were destitute of an atom of truth. is characteristic of the methods o! modernists and near-modernistS al ways"

DECISION LIKELY TODAY
noaS My Yet Call Debeature Provision Unconstitutional

Washington. May 16 h = Hopes for 2 summer vacation for most members of congress were raised to- day by the progress made in nego- tiations to avert the threatened con- troversy between the senate and house over the formers right to in- itiate export debenture legislation in the farm relief bill.
 The outcome apparently rested with the republican steering commit tee Of the house. which was called upon today to decide whether the bfll should be received as passed by the senate with the disputed deben- ture section in 1t or sent back on the ground that only the house has the constitutional right to initiate such legislation.
 Speaker Longworth and other house leaders were inclined to favor the former course in view of the emergency nature of the legislation and the probability of long contro- versy if 1t were turned back. At the same time, they were convinced that the senate had invaded the right of the house to initiate revenue legisla- ton. and favored a clear expression ot that position in any rule which might be adopted permitting the sen- ate bill. to be received and submit. ted to conference with the measure passed by the house for adjustment of differences.
 The senate bill. meanwhile. was left on the speakers table. while ad- ministration leaders in both cham hers were confident that the deben- ture section. which President Hoover opposes, could be eliminated readily by means of the conference pro, cedure and . measure sent to the

White House which would be less likely to encounter g veto.
 Loagwoeth Hans Recess
 Anticipating the adoption of such g course. Speaker Longworth has disclosed plans for a recess of six weeks or two months by the house sfter it completes its work on the pending tarift bill and the farm re- lief measure. Senator Watson of ln- oiana, republican leader. looking in the same direction. said the senate probably would take . recess of 70 days or thereabouts after receiving the tariff bill and referring it to the finance committee for hearings and revision.
 Although farm relief remained the dominant topic of interest at the capitol generally, the house was still concerned today with its general de- bate on the tariff bill and the sen- ate had before it the combined measure providing for the 1880 cen- gus and reapportionment of the house membership on the basis of that enumeration. The senate also was called upon today to act on the contested nomination of former Sem ator Lenroot of Wisconsin, to the court of customs appeals.
 Republicans of the house ways and means committee continued to hold themselves open to suggestions from colleagues who are dissatisfied with various rate proposals in the tariff bill they drafted. with view to sub hitting those with which they can agree to the house al committee amendments.
 The senate interstate commerce committee was still engaged with its hearing on the proposal to ret up a federal communications commission, and the reclamamation committee was called to take action on bill to appropriate 312.000,000 to encourage agriculture in the south.
