Umbrella Blows
Down; Grounding
Sees His Shadow

Philadelphia, Feb. 2.-R,-sorAe-
one with more neal than natural
scientific wisdom took the grounding
situation by the scruff Of the neck to-
day.
During the dead Of the night the
enthusiastic inpovator scaled the
concrete wall and wire netting which
surrounds the Zoo home Of philadel-
phia's captive and official ground
hog. He planted q head Of cabbage
ct the entrance to the groundhog's
subterranean dwelling, to lure the
little animal out,
Then, he anchored an open UNI
hrella above tbs hole to prevent the
little animal from seeing his shadow.
The intruder then stole away, con-
vinced that rain or shine his little
scheme would insure an early spring.
All went well except that the cab
bage got covered with dirt from the
stiff wind, the umbrella blew down,
and the grounding slept soundly on.

Moscow which said that although
Leon Trotzky, deposed soviet leader,

Washington, Feb. 2-(AP)-With

Thus far, no proposal to reduce the
number Of cruisers to be built has
been made and the fight has CEN
tered around the time clause requir-

has asked elimination Of the time
clause, but the group led by Chair

confident that he has the strength to
put the blu through without material
change. This would eliminate the ne
cessity for 4 conference with the
house where the measure was passed
last year, but the president might
veto It. In that case, there would be
q determined attempt to pass it over
his veto.
Most Of the opposition to the pres
ent bill has come from q group Of
western senator's, headed BY Sena-

Nebraska. They were joined yester-
day by Senator Harrison, Democrat,

stands just after the ratification of
the Kellogg treaty would have bad

Opposition to the authorization of
