CONGRESS SPEEDS
WORK FOR RELIEF
No Year-End Holiday
Threatened; Action on
World Court Delayed.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. ICON
gress speeded work on emergency
relief measures today following
warnings by leaders of both parties
that adjournment for the Christmas
holidays would not be permitted
until these bills are passed.
The way was opened for action by
the house on drought relief-on
which the administration and the
senate have been at odds-when the
agriculture committee voted to re-
port a bill calling for a $30,O0O,OoO
appropriation.
The senate, against the wishes of
President Hoover, has insisted $780,
100000 be appropriated.
The senate took up the confer
ence report on the $4,000, 900
emergency employment bill, with
the prospect that legislative action
ON this measure might be completed
before night.
The house had eliminated a senate
dIllenOment denying President
Hoover power to distribute the
money wherever he deemed it would
provide the most jobs.
The senate also prepared to in
veStigate whether still further
measures are needed to relieve suf-
fering due to unemployment Or the
drought. 1t adopted without debate
a resolution of Senator La Toilette
(Rep., Wis., to summon before
senate committees Colonel Arthur
Woods, chairman of the Presidents
emergency employment committee;
John Barton Payne, director of the
Red Cross, and j. G. Rop, director
of the federal budget.
Possibility that an extra session
of congress might have to be called
in the spring, was believed largely
to have been removed when the
senate foreign relations commit
tee voted not report the disputed
world court protocols until the reg
ular session a year hence.

The Clark decision, which eventu-
ally will go to the United States SUI
prerhe court, is based on Article 5
of the Constitution-the amend
ing article-which provides, in the
opinion of Judge Clark, that any
transfer of power from the indi-
vidual states to the federal govern
ment must be ratified by consti-
tutional convention rather than the
state legislatures.
Judge Clark held the question COW
cred by his decision is entirely a new
one. and not the same as the point
involved in the so-called national
prohibition cases of 1920, when the
eighteenth amendment was upheld
by the supreme court.
The case on which Judge Clark
ruled was that of William Sprague,
