LONDON, April Is, P-The final and vital phase of Great Britains elections begins with conservatives in much better position than they were earlier in the year when the elections showed a, material drift of voters to other parties. Still conservatives majority in the next Conservatives majority in the next Parliament will be greatly reduced.
 The labor party claims it will be victorious and the conservatives themselves fear their majority will be whittled down so fine that the Baldwin government will not have strength to continue in office.

 RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

JUNEAU, April Is, Special to the Gateway = The house was flood cd with telegramS from Christian science societies and individual scientists protesting against the passage of the Winn measure re- requiring compulsory physical ex- animation and medical attention of all public school pupils at least once annually.

 It would require merical atten- tion, where school boards hold it necessary, and provides for $5 to $50 fines for parents and guard ianS refusing to have children, Suf- fering from certain diseases, treat ed by competent physicians.

SHORT SESSION CONGRESS MEETS
 NJ WORK TODAY
SIXTY-EIGHT NEW MEMBERS TAKE OATH OF OFFICE;
 LONGWORTH SPEAKER

WASHINGTON, April Is, P)-In
 fullfillment of one of his pre- cleo tion promises, President Hoover and congress met in an extraor- dinary session to find the long sought road solution of the vexing farm question.
 1 The Chief Executives brief re- spite from the added yresponsibil- itieS of having the national legisla- ture with which to deal, was over the millions who helped to place him in office.
 1 The new congress, in charge of national affairs, is interesting it. self to start the latest political drama. Although the program has been tentatively set to include farm relief as related to the subject of the house and the measure setting date for the beginning of the en- tariff revision; reapportionment of umeration of the national popula- tion, will be taken up.
 None will venture a prediction as to the life of the present session. The President has been represented as favoring limited legislative pro gram but he made it plain he will not attempt to tell congress what to do. It is up to the republican leaders to guide the destinies of the session. They also favor lmi- tation of activity but the democra- tic leaders threatened to oppose such efforts.
 Only process of organization faced the house during the day while the senate was ready for busi- ness immediately. Other than meeting, then adjourning, there was nothing to do as the Presidents is to be delivered tomorrow.
 Tn the house 68 new members were called upon to take oath of office. Longworth is starting his third term as speaker.

Firemen on Jump

BY a staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY, Va,
March l2.-Breaking all previous
records, there we're 10 fire alarms
sounded in the county yesterday. all
resulting from grass fires in various
sections. The first alarm was sound
ed about noon and from that time
on the volunteer apparatus rushed
madly about the various highways.
With the exception of the destruc-
ton OF Summer cottage near Chain
Bridge the fires did no great amount
of damage, although at times they
threatened the Woodrow Wilson aud
Fort Myer Heights Schools. A greater
number of the blazes are thought
to have been started by residents
who wished to take advantage of the
dry weather to clean off their places.
It is expected that yesterdays runs
will be used by the various depart
ments to strengthen their arguments
that the county should pay their
gasoline and oil bills.

Town Council Favors Substitution
of Program for Mayors Street
Improvement Proposal.
BY staff Correspondent of The Star.

CAPITOL HEIGHTS. Md, March H.
Substitution of program of sidewalk
construction along Central avenue and
other important thoroughfares here in
place of proposed street improvement
plan advanced by their mayor was de-
cided upon by the Town Council Of Cap
itol Heights last night.
Mayor Thomas J. Luckett submitted
a plan calling for the borrowing of
So 500 to be used in building macadam
roads.
The council felt, however. that side
walks were even more needed than roads
and voted to hold a special meeting
Friday night when 1t would be decided
whether or not the loan would be OBJ
tanned
Among the sidewalks which the coun-
Gil felt were urgently needed at this time
were ones to run along the south side
of Central avenue from SiXty-first street
to the District me and along the north
side of the same thoroughfare from Gen.
trail Avenue Bridge to the District line.
Property owners along the north side
would be asked to donate 10 feet of
ground for the pavements, 1t developed
at the meeting, while those on the south
side where the property is owned by
the State would be assessed one-half the
cost of construction.
The council went on record In favor
of the reappointment of John E. Weast
as Justice of peace and will request such
a reappointment in letter to Gov.
Richie.
Weast has been justice of peace here
for % years Last week oscar Poore
was appointed to that Office by Gov.
Richie, but his appointment has not
yet been confirmed by the State Senate.
Saturday a delegation of citizens called
on State Senator Lansdale G. Sasscer
requesting the appointment OF an addi-
tional justice here.

mission that their request for traffic

School would be denied. on the ground
