tones CLEARED
IN DOPE RAID

There is no possibility of a
tong war arising out of the re-
cent raid on. the Newark, N. j.,
Chinatown, in which nearly a
score of Chinese we're held on
narcotic charges and $50 held
for immigration authorities, &C
cording to an announcement to-
day by Mortimer Lonyay, general
counsel for the Merchants of
Canton Province.
Mr.. Lonyay pointed out on his
return from New York that the
raid conducted by the narcotic
authorities did not involve the
tong situation. He admitted that
one of the tongs in Newark had
barred five of it's members be-
cause of their affiliation with
the authorities and 200 other
members had resigned out of
sympathy!
Eighty of those held for the
immigration authorities have been
released, Mr.. Lonyay said, and
the other 70 are being held in
custody until they furnish evi.
dence that they are legally in
this country.

MEASURE.
COMPROMISE
1SSOUGHT
Senate and House Conferees
Unable to Agree; 4 Million
Fund Ties Up Legislation

An appropriation of about S4,-
100000 to pay Government sal
aries already fixed by law is
blocking final action on every
departmental supply bill in the
present Congress.
ShortneSs of the session and
the pressure of emergency legis-
lation have failed to affect the
deadlock which has come about
between the Senate and House
and today there was no indica.
ton that differences between the
two bodies would be settled in
the near future.
Agreement Is Sought
With only about a score of
legislative days left in the pres
ent Congress-, leaders are vainly
seeking to bring about some sort
of agreement which will remove
the key log in the legislative jam.
The Senate had an opportunity
to break the deadlock yesterday,
but it refused to yield. The
House had the same opportunity
two weeks ago and by an over
Whelming vote decided to remain
adamant.
Five departmental supply bills
have received the approval of
both houses. but the differences
over Federal employees salary in
creases have held everyone of
them in conference. AS a result
with the session nearing its end,
only the first deficiency bill and
the emergency construction bill
are among the appropriation bills
which have been enacted.
Phipps Would Yield
All of the wit of both houses
has proved unable to remove this
obstacle to the enactment of
measures involving hundreds of
millions of dollars.
Senator Lawrence Phipps (R)
of Colorado, head of the Senate
conferees on the TreaSury-Post-
office appropriation bill is ready
to yield and drop the increase
item, but his colleagues refuse.
Representative. Will R. Wood
head of the House conferees, with
his body solidly behind him, has
shown no sign of changing his
position.

Grounds Are Closed
At Soldiers Tomb

Construction work in connec-
tion with the approach to the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

terry reached a point today, ac-
cording to Secretary of War

will not be promulgated by the
Prohibition Enforcement Unit be-
fore March l. it became known
today.
Among members of the District
of Columbia Medical Association
there are reports that the new
rules will be much more liberal
than has been indicated so far.
In their preliminary form, they
were ready for publication by the
office of Prohibition Director
Woodcock two weeks ago, but have
been withheld, it is reported, while
further conferences with ply
Sicians are under way.
Back Dry Proposals
While these conferences are be-
ing held local physicians are plan.
ming action support the recon-
mendation of the Wickersham Law
E n OF ment Commission that
prescriptions of liquor for medi.
cial purposes be made free of any
restriction.
DR.. A. B. Bennett, chairman OF
| the executive committee of the
District of Columbia Medical AS
Sociation, today said:
"Our committee will meet in
the near future and probably
will adopt a resolution which
will show without equivOcatiOn
our views on liquor preScrip-
tiOns, especially with regard
to the specific recommends
tiOns of the Wickersham re-
port. We are glad the ques-
ton has been reOpened." r>
Physicians Ask Action
Many other physicians were
emphatic in their views that
vigorous action" ought to be
taken locally, so as to give ma
tional leadership to the medica,
profession on the issue. They
are outSpoken in the belief that
the prohibition enforcement unit
will ultimately soften all the Ii
quor restrictions which now irk
the medical profession. The
present limitation of medical al
cohol for office use by a phySi
can is two gallons annually.

BUDGET WILL OMIT
ARMY PAY RAISES
Will Not Go Beyond Hoover
Program-Reed Confident
of Legion Patriotism.

The Army will feel the retrenchment
policy necessitated in the move to cut
Government expenses, according to
present plans.
The War Department announced yes
terday that its Forthcoming budget will
eliminate all requests for increased pay
for officers and that "the Army will not
press claims which are not included in
the program of its commander chief,
the President"
The announcement was made con-
currently with the Presidents ecall to
the American Legion to oppose new
money demands on the Government
an appeal that drew the immediate in
dorsement of Chairman Reed of the
Senate Military Committee, who has
been an outstanding opponent of re-
ducing the military establishment, and
by Chairman Wood of the House Ap-
preparations Committee, who had pre-
viously marked Army and Navy for
SlaSheS.
Confident of Patriotism.
Reed said 1.-The men who fought for
the country's welfare are not going to
fight against it now"
IT am confident that the patriotism
of the American Legion will show itself
now as it cid in 1917-1918," he said.
Wood said the Legion NOW has an
opportunity to help the country solve its
problems by setting an example,
"I have faith in the Legion to do
that thing" he said.
The War Department said it had adj
vised Col Charles B. Robbins, chairman
of the Legion's National Defense Com
mittee, that the Secretary of War
stands ready to cooperate fully with
the President in his efforts to balance
the budget"
1.-THE War Department is, therefore"
it concluded, now prepared to forward
to the director of the Bureau of the
Budget normal estimates in support of
its military program closely following
the estimates of last year and the cur
rent year.
Wood Suggests Pay Cuts.
The department said that after in
vestigation of pay increases in civil
branches of the Government, ANY plans
looking to a request for increased pay
for officers of the Army have been set
aside for the time being and will be
held in allegiance until our whole eco
nomic structure is again on a normal
footing at some future date"

China RECEIVES
LIVING BUDDHA
IN LONG EXILE.
Millions Hail PauChen Lama
as Spiritual Head of
Ancient Sect.
BY ID. c. BESS
United Press STAFF Correspondent

PEIPING, China, May 1S.-The
living Buddha of Tibet, the Panchen
Lama, has returned to China after
several years as guest of Buddhists
in Mongolia.
He will spend several months. &C.
cording to present plans. visiting
Mukden, Peiping and Marking.
Despite the anti-rehglous tone of
many political leaders in China, the
living Buddha was given a hearty
reception.
For more than six years the
Panchen Lama has been an exile
from his native country, Tibet. He
was compelled to leave Tibet by his
secular rival, the Dalai Lama, who is
the temporal head in Tibet.
The Panchen Lama is still recog-
nized, however, as the spiritual head
of the Buddhist church in Tibet,
and is respected greatly by Chinese
Buddhists, who number millions.
The living Buddha has spent his
entire life, from the age of s, in
monasteries, and knows little of the
outside world.
When he visited Shanghai in
1924, he told this correspondent that
the wonders of western civilization,
which he was viewing for the flrSs
time, had "dumbfounded" him, ana
that he believed it was the most
wonderful civilization the world has
ever seen.
Although he is not politician,
Chinese political leaders believe the
Panchen Lama may become polite
ally important.
Many Chinese feel that the Brit
ish government in India exercises a
dominating influence over the
Dalai Lama in Tibet, and declare
that the British persuaded him to
