LEAGUE COURT
PLAN To CLOG
CONGRESS
Action of President Expected
To Make Special Session
imperative; Borah Acts

Gathering for it's lame duck 5"
session, the Seventy-first Congress
faced a complicated, uncertain
legislative future today as re-
suit of President Hoover's decision
to send the amended League
Court protocol to the Senate next
week.
The President announced he
would inject the League Court
issue into the short session, Whlcn
lasts but three months, even
though all his Capitol Hill lead
ers advised against 1t. His
action will complicate the Admin
istration's lengthy program for
relief of agriculture and unem-
ployment and may lead to the
calling of an extra session OF the
new Congress.
Will Rush Hearings
Senator William E. Borah CRO
of Idaho, chairman Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, i'm
mediately announced he would
rush hearings on the protocol
and report it to the Senate "as
soon as possible"
Action on the Court treaty is
q highly privileged question. Once
it is reported to the Senate, 1t
can be called up at any time,
taking precedence over all other
legislation.
Democratic leaders who favor
the new protocol, indicated they
opposed immediate action.
POstpOnement Urged
Senator Swanson CD Of Vir-
ginia, ranking minority member
of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, said he hoped action would
be postponed until next December.
aOnly Senator Arthur Capper
CRD of Kansas, demanded imme-
date action. He said he felt
there was time enough to pass
all the necessary legislation and
to ratify the court as well at
the short session.

TWO SHIPS SAFE
IN LAKE GALES

lashing the Great Lakes were safe
in port today.
The Lake Simcoe, bound out Of

Line Navigation Company grain
carrier, missing in Lake Superior
for two days, appeared at SaulJ
Ste. Marie. Her master, Capt. Rich
ard Graham, said the freignter
had taken shelter in the lee of
KeWeenaW Point.
Coast guards had ocen search
ing for both vessels. FailingN to
find any trace of the ships The
rescue parties reported it prob
able both had gone down with ell
hands.
Belief that another ship had
been mistaken for the Simcoe was
expressed by an official of the
Cleveland office of the Canadian
Steamship Company. who said the
Simcoe was not in the vicinity Of
Fairport, Ohio. where the distress
signals of a ship we're seen. The
Simcoe had not rocketed any dis
treSs signals, it was stated.
