by Representative La Guardia, Republi-
can, o. New York, who contended that

argued that 1t should be changed to

cations. 1t was estimated that the task
will take four weeks unless the men are
reinforced by warm sun.
Famine Is abroad in the Rumanian
province of Bessarabia, from which the
SHOWS block the generous aid offered
by the government and foreign agen-
cies. Starvation Is being STAYED of
