GENEVA American adherence to the World Court under terms of the Root protocol may be barred by one or more Latin-American mem bers of the League of Nations. This possibility is giving serious concern to world statesmen assembled here, with the latest developments in the deliberations.
 A single nations disagreement to the terms of the protocol will be sufficient to defeat the move to bring the United States into the tribunal.

Hawley Says Measure Should Be Disposed of in Record Time-Prob- ably Will Reach Sen ate Before Christmas Vacation.
Practically No Debate Ex- pected, or if Protracted Discussion Starts Both Parties Are Ready to Choke It Off as Soon as Possible.

Washington, Nov. 29 R)-Chair- man Hawlcy of the house ways and means committee predicted today the house would adopt a resolution to authorize the slG0,0OO,O0O tax reduction on 1929 incomes before the end of the first week of the reg ular session.
 The resolution, Hauley said, would be introduced Monday and he would call meeting Tuesday of the ways and means committee. Hear- mEs, he added, probably would be short in view of the approval of the reduction by the administration and leaders of both parties in both houses.
 Sees speedy Ballot
 In the event the house would agree to consider the resolution Wednesday,, under unanimous con- sent without waiting for the com- nuttce report. it probably would be approved that day. he said. Other- "'''N u NOhIl Dc bIOuSUl up lnuTS- day for action.
 Senate leaders have announced that an effort would be made to ex- pcdite passage n that chamber.
 HaWley's statement today was even mcae optimistic for early ac- ton than it's utterance at the time the tax cut proposal was announced 1 by Secretary Mellon. The ways and means chairman then predicted the house would dispose of it shortly before taking the Christmas recess. If his latest prediction materializes the senate will be given an oppor- tUnity 10 act before going home to hang mp stockings Christmas eve.
 Little Difficulty Forseen
 House leaders expect but little diff liculty in putting the resolution through.
 Since it proposes only one form of reduction-a one per cent cut in the rate on corporation and individual incomes the leaders believe there will be slight disposition on the part of members to indulge in pro- traCted debate.
 The house leadership indicated that if this should develop they would enforce the drastic rules of that chamber which shut off discus- sion and provide parliamentary short cut for an early vote.
 The ways and means committee, which must handle all revenue legislation. will be ready to function as soon as the bang of Speaker LongWorths gavel calls the house 10 order Monday. It was organized at the outset of the special session last April and thus will not be held up, as will many other committees, by tho filling of vacancies.
 Smoot Statement Favorable
 The announcement today by Sena- tor Smooth of Utah that he pre- fcrred to retain the chairmanshiu of the senate finance committee rather than take over the chairman- ship of the senate appropriations committee, also was regarded as a favorable sign for action on the tax resolution.
 Smoot long has been head of the 1 finance group, which handles a,l revenue legislation in the senate. (Continued on Page Two)
