SESSION
APPEARS PROBABLE
Regular Leaders Are 0p-
posed, but DisSenters Exact
Stiff Price.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

The outstanding question in all minds
as Congress met was whether there will
be a special session Of the new Con-
gress after the existing one expires on
March 4. A close observer would say.
with some reservations, that the answer
is yes. !
The regular Republican leaders do
not want a special session Of new
Congress in which their power is re-
duced to nothing, or nearly So. The
regular Democratic leaders want to
postpone the responsibilities and dam
gers Of a Congress in which they may
have a majority. The regular leaders
of both parties are taking account OF
business condition which fears the
contentiousness and excitement in
evitable in q Congress in which 1t is not
quite certain which party has a ma
jority.
Answer Lies in LOyalties.
With the regular leaders Of both par
ties cooperating toward averting spe-
cial session, the answer lies in the
amount Of loyalty the leaders can conf
mand.
On the Republican side of the Senate,
perhaps, 25 or 80 Senators accept
leduSlSiIAp anu lCsoAO P@A ~ 80
binding. On the Democratic side, the
number is smaller. The country Is
familiar with the insurgency on the
Republican side of the Senate because
that party has been responsible. AS
socn as and if the Democrats have
responsibility for the Senate, the coun-
try will learn about an even more con-
spicuous cleavage in that party.
The dissenters in both parties fevor
a considerable program Of legislation,
much of which has been long pest
poned or prevented by the conserva-
tives. This legislation includes such
measures as Government operation OF
Muscle Shoals, prevention of judicial
injunctions in labor disputes, con-
stitutional amendment calling for earlier
sessions of newly elected Congresses.
Progressives Exact Their Price.
The progressives, recognizing the
anxiety of the conservatives to avert
a special session, will now press this
legislation as the price they exact. If
the conservatives in both parties resist
this legislation, the progressives in both
will then say that the resistance makes
passage Of the appropriation bills i'm
possible and, therefore, entails q spe-
cial session.
This is the fundamental attitude of
more than half the Senate. At the
same time one can recognize among
them some hesitation about running
counter to business sentiment at a time
when business needs fostering. The
question is still one in which the psy-
Geological atmosphere Of the country
counts heavily.

How woman smokers are acquiring

was told by DR.. j. M. Martin of Dali

particularly the lower lip, once a rarity
among women, no longer is so.
Observations on the digestive tract,

White Rat Studies Described.
White rats were the subject Of a re-
port by Nine. Debrovolski zavadskaia
of Russia. They have enabled her to
visualize a thousand years of human
life, she said, since their generations
pass so quickly. Through them she has
watched the course of cancer in what
would be 80 human generations.
Better understanding of X-rays has
banished early fears, said Drs. E. A.
Pohle, G. Ritchie and G. S. Wright
of Madison, Wis. They revealed the
continually expanding use Of the X-ray
as a therapeutic agent and proof Of its
efficiency in preoperative treatment OF

PRESIDENT SILENT
ON HOWELL'S BILL
Local Prohibition Measure Carries
Feature Which Mitchell
DisapproVed.

In referring to law enforcement for
the District Of Columbia In his message
to Congress today. the President did
not mention any bills specifically. There
are two bills pending In the Senate
that relates to this general subject.
namely the Howell local prohibition bill
and 9 bill to tighten the laws against
gambling here.
When the Howell bill was being
drafted last year, Attorney General
Mitchell wrote to the Senate District
Committee approving most of its pro-
visions, but taking exception to the
search warrant section as being too
drastic in its application to private
dwellings.
Senator Howell did not eliminate the
search warrant feature Of the bill, but
Just before 1t was reported from the
District Committee, he modified its
terms somewhat. As the bill stands on
the Senate calendar, it would authorize
search warrants II dwelling was be-
ing used for the sale Of liquor, If still
or distilling apparatus is set UP there.
or II liquor Is unlawfully delivered
thereto or removed therefrom.

LOS ANGELES, December 2.-Local
LESSONS and a general drop in nutrition
as whole were described here today
before the Pathological Society of
North America as the apparent causes
of spontaneous cancer.
The statement was made in an ad-
dress before the assembled scientists
by DR.. Montrose T. Burrows, Pasadena
specialist, who said, too, that dead and
abscessed teeth frequently had been
associated with the state Of deteriora-
ton necessary for the development of
cancer. His studies indicated teeth
were the cause Of cancer Of the lips
and skin.
"Other tissues showing similar de-
generative changes may also produce
the same effect as dead teeth" said
DR.. Burrows.
Discusses Breast Tumors.
"Tumors of the breast have been
associated in each instance with utter
in lesion. Such breast LESSONS may
exist and progress for years without
any material harm to the individual.
Cancer will develop in these LESSONS
only when the normal cells of the body
without have suffered from sufh-
cient lowering of their resistance to
allow the breast cells to grow"
