CHANG TO LAUNCH
RADICAL REFORMS
Nationalist Political Pro-
gram to Be Announced
on New Year Day.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, December 20.-Chiang
Kai-Shek, head of the Nationalist gov
eminent, announced today through Kuo-
min, the official Nationalist news agency,
that he had completed "a comprehen-
sive program providing for sweeping
political reforms in the administration
of the Nationalist government"
The announcement said the program
would be made public on New Year day.
At the same time Chang issued state
ment to the press of China in which he
encouraged free and constructive criti-
cism and discussion by newspapers
throughout the country of things relat-
Ing to party and government affairs.
Statement Is Recalled.
Issuance of the announcement was in
accordance with statement made by
Chang at the height of the recent
widespread uprisings against his Nan
king regime.
Further calculating the action of the
Nationalist Government Central Polit-
ical Council in deciding to proclaim
abolition OF extraterritoriality on jan
uary /, the Kuomin agency also stated
the council had decided that detailed
practical measures for the assumption
OF jurisdiction by Chinese courts over
all legal cases involving foreigners would
be Immediately promulgated by the
state council for enforcement"
The news agency said the state coun-
shortly ct a IN
connection with this decision for trans
mission to the various foreign govern
merts concerned through the National
list government ministry OF foreign
affairs.
Seen as Incompatible.
Kuomin also said this statement
which now is being drafted, will de-
clare the present system of foreign
Jurisdiction is incompatible with the
trend of the times, becoming obsolete
even in China.
THE Chinese people" the news agency
continued, therefore are prompted by
a desire to free themselves of this
hindrance and to further develop friend
ly relations SubsiSting between China
and the various foreign nations and dc
not hesitate to declare the termination
of this system.
Beginning January 1, 1880, there
fore, all foreign Nationals In China
must observe and abide by all laws
regulations and orders duly promulgated
by either central or local authorities.
THE Nationalist government will as
sumo full responsibility for the protec-
ton of life and property and other
legitimate interests Of all foreigners In
China in accordance with Nationalist
government laws"

MITCHELL ORDERS
NOLLE PROSE- o. K.
HERE IN DRY CASES
Continued From First Page)

three men, after a short discussion,
left for conference at the Depart
ment of Justice, in which 1t is ex-
pected they will point out that much
congestion will result If the order is
strictly followed. II the Department
of Justice insists on strict adherence
to the order, however, Mr.. Rover will
confer with his assistants as to the
best means of carrying the departments
wishes into effect.
The Department of Justice has the
final word in the handling Of any Of
tense in a Federal jurisdiction.
It was not believed, however, that the
district attorneys Office would &C.
quiesce willingly to any. order compel
ling them to submit their cases for the
approval of a lawyer attached TO the
Federal prohibition unit. The assistant
district attorneys in charge Of prohibi-
ton cases are recognized as being cap
able lawyers and they have been re-
garded as men amply competent to de-
eide whether a case should be nolle
pressed or taken to trial.
Sees Extra Clerks Needed.
Assistant District Attorney Hart ex-
pressed the belief that strict adherence
to the order would require the employ
ment of at least six extra clerks at
Police Court to handle the mass of de-
tail work which would be necessary If
each case to be nolle pressed must be
sent to the Department of Justice to-
gether with letter of facts in the case
and reasons for nolle pressing 1t.
If this order is to be lived up to-"
Mr.. Hart declared, ut will require three
months to get case nolle pressed and
would be apt to result in considerable
confusion in the district attorneys
Office as well as adding to the burden
of a congested court docket"

CHRISTMAS TRADE
GRANTEES HOOVER
Receipts Equal Those of
1928-Regarded as Denial
of Depression.

President Hoover is highly pleased
with reports from the Department of
Commerce that retail business during
the Christmas shopping season, instead
Of falling OF as had been expected in
some quarters, equaled that of last year.
Preliminary reports show that there
was some difference in the volume in
various localities, with falling of in
some sections, but increased buying in
others, striking a net about equal to
1928.
In view Of the stock-market crash in
November, these reports are considered
most encouraging as rejecting stabil-
fly in the purchasing power of the con-
sumner, which some mercantile circles
feared would not be shown. 1t had been
estimated in some quarters that on &C
count of the panic" in November there
might be a marked decline in the pur-
chase OF Christmas presents which are
claSsed by experts as "luxuries." Some
estimates placed this prospective falling
of at as high as is per cent, but it did
not materialize.
The Christmas reports are taken as
fear of general economic and business
depression, such as almost inevitably
has followed crashes of the stock mar
ket in the past
Further indications of new activity in
the coming year have reached President
Hoover in the form Of reports from gov
errors of the States that proposed con-
struction Of public works in IS States
totaling 1925, 900 900, a figure expected
to be doubled for the country at large.
The total was compiled from reports
President Hoover received from gov
errors Of the States as q result of the
program of public construction he urged
after conferences with business leaders.
The reports from the governors were
made in response to requests sent by
Mr.. Hoover to have surveys made Of
public works programs which would be
undertaken during the year. Some of
the reports received were not complete
summaries of all the work to be done.
The President expects to have a COM
plete list of the public improvements to
be made in the various States tabulated
by the first of the year.

DEMAND FOR OPEN
HEARINGS BY LAW
COMMISSION MADE
Continued From First Pase0

Continued From First Page.)
Harris original demand. It has only
now developed, that during the entire
course Of the discussion, the commits
sion had prepared End had ready for
publication a report on its prohibition
conclusions so far as the survey has
gone.
Recommendations Included.
This takes cognizsnce of four con-
ditions believed to be at error, and
recommendations will be made for legis-
lation to relieve congestion in the Fed
eral Courts centralize control of the
border traffic, now shared by the coast
guard, customs, narcotics and immi-
grations services; unity enforcement
and administration of the dry" laws
In the Justice Department by trans
ferring to 1t the agencies now in the
Treasury; and codify the Federal laws
dealing with prohibition
Three of these recommendations have
already been made by President Hoover,
and the fourth, that of centralizing
responsibility on the border, was ad-
vanced several days ago by Undersec-
rotary Mills Of the Treasury Depart
ment in replying to criticisms of en-
forcement from members of the Senate.
There is some uncertainty as to just
how soon the details of the commits
sion's report will be made public. II
may be given out in the near future, or
1t may be held up and submitted to a
joint congressional committee on pro-
hibition when Congress takes action
to establish such a body. A resolution
to bring this about has been adopted
by the Senate and Is now pending in
the House rules committee.
Discussed With Hoover.
In the wake of Harris criticism of
the commission, in which he was Joined
by Senator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia,
and tacitly by several other dry" SEN
tors, came an arraignment of the entire
enforcement personnel by Senators Borah
OF Idaho and Norris of Nebraska. The
latter demanded the resignation of Sec
rotary Mellon. Mills replied for the
Tor the Justice Department. Borah took
the question to the White House and
discussed 1t with President Hoover, for
whom he was prominent campaigner
on the prohibition issue.
Other dry" Senators took part in
the controversy, including some who de-
Tended prohibition enforcement as a
success. Among these were Sheppard,
Democrat, Of Texas, who wrote the
eighteenth amendment and Is the au-
thor Of a measure, now pending, under
which the buyer of liquor would be
made equally guilty and liable to pun
ishment with the seller.

NEEDLE IN THROAT
TAKEN FROM BABY

The surgical skill of Casualty Hos
pital physicians saved the life of
22-month-old Joy Thompson, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Thompson, 1905
E street southeast, this afternoon when
they extracted a threaded needle from
the childs throat within a period of
five minutes. Baby Joy is none the
worse for her experience and is prov
ing that to the Thompson household,
where she was taken following treat
ment, by kicking and singing with
unusual vigor
Mrs. Thompson said she was max
ing dress for the baby when she
noticed the child climb onto a small
stool, take the needle from a sewing
basket and swallow it before she could
stop her. Mrs. Thompson then called
the police and the baby was taken to
the hospital.
Physicians felt for the location Of
the needle with their hands and then
extracted it with surgical probe. Doc
tors said that Baby Joy proved a good
patient, and other than q bit of kick
ing, they experienced no trouble.
Mrs. Thompson said she was in
debted to the physicians and Baby
Joy will find no pins or needles to play
with In the future"

it would be used for a set of bronze
doors to be placed at the entrance Of
the 100000 building being construct
ed for the League. The corner stone OF
the building was laid last Summer. II
is to be finished in the Spring.
Formal presentation of the award will

Peruvian delegate to the League, who is
expected to be elected president in jan
uary, will be invited.

by the foundation, which was organized
in 1921. The award Is made from a
fund raised by public subscription. In
each case the amount has been SIS, 900

of the tenth anniversary of the forma-
ton of the League On January 10, 1920,
in which President Wilson played an
important part.

D. C. RAIL MERGER
HEARING TO BE SET
Senate District Committee Will
Name Date Soon After
January 6.

The Senate District committee will
be called to meet within a week after
Congress reconvenes, January 6, and at
that time is expected to fix a date for
holding the night public hearings on
the new plan Of street railway merger.
Chairman Capper has written to DR..
Milo r. Maltbie, asking for his opinion
Of the plan of consolidation as recently
submitted to Congress by the Public
Utilities Commission, and it is hoped
that reply will be received soon. after
the session Is resumed. DR.. Maltbie was
the expert who studied the merger
question for the Senate committee last
year. The plan now under considera-
ton contains number of changes
made by the utilities commission.
In view Of the study devoted to the
merger problem in the last Congress,
members Of the committee have indi-
Gated a belief that one public hearing
held at night early in January would
be sufficient to obtain the views of the
public on the revised plan before the
committee acts on it.
