BOMBAY, Dec. 7 GN.S0-A
boycott of British goods was be-
ing planned today by the Bengal
provincial congress as a protest
against the British anti-terrorism
ordinances.
A measure proposing a boycott
was approved by the working
committee of the congress, which
also discussed other steps that
would be taken in connection
with the Indian independence
movement following return to
India of Mahatma M. K. Gandhi.
Encouraged by Gandhi's efforts
in London on behalf of the "un-
touchables," this class has de-
cided to embark on a campaign
of passive resistance in order to
be permitted to bathe in certain
sacred streams from which they
are barred by high-caste Hindus.
GENEVA, Dec. Z IN.SO.-Ma-
hatma M. K. Gandhi, who will
return to India at the end of
this month to resume active COM
mand of the Indian independence
movement, rested today at the

Gamers Ride to Capitol in
Street Car-Last Time

Representative and Mrs. Jack
Garner refused to abandon their
frank "folky" manner as the
House prepared to elect the
Texan. Speaker for the Seventy
second Congress.
Both Garner and his wife-who
is his Secretary-were up early at
their office work as usual. They
came by street car.
Beside a desk banked with
flowers they received their
friends before House convened.
The Texan stuck to a brown
business suit while Mrs. Garner
donned a black office dress

DEMOCRATS
CELEBRATE
VICTORY
Stormy Session Of Congress
Opens As Hunger Marchers
CIamor Outside
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

Control of the House of Rep
resentatives formally passed to
the Democratic party this
afternoon when Representative
Jack Garner of Texas, veteran
floor leader of the party in re-
cent sessions, was elevated to
the speakership.
It is the first time in 13 years
that the Democrats have been in
the saddle in either branch of
Congress, and the election Of the
popular Texan was made the oc.
caSion for a Democratic jubilee
on the floor.
Full Vote Is Cast
To elect Garner the Democrats
mustered their full strength OF
219 members, one more than a
clear majority over all in the
House.
Coincident with the Democrats
swing into control, some degree
of harmony was restored among
the House Republicans who have
been divided lately over the rival
leadership aspirations of Repre-
sentative Tilson of Connecticut,
and Representative Smell of New
York.
Smell defeated Tilson, leader
last session. for the empty Re-
publican nomination for the
speakership, but Tilson refused
until today to acknowledge that
this meant Smell should succeed
to the floor leadership. With the
election of Garner, however, Til
son withdrew and becomes a
private in the Republican ranks.
Tilson said his withdrawal was
actuated by his desire there
should be no divided leadership
or responsibility" on the Repub-
lican side.
Hunger Marchers Outside
Falling gavelS in both Houses
on the stroke of noon sped the
new Seventy-second Congress
away on it's turbulent career,
while outside the Capitol, in the
broad plaza, a throng Of unem-
ployed jeered the police and de-
manded Federal appropriations to
provide jobs and food.
The House was called to order
by it's veteran clerk. William Tyler
Page. amid the customary con-
fusion. that always prevails in
the big chamber. In the Senate,
it was Vice President Curtis gavel
that started the session.
The Democrats were n a jovial
mood. While the roll call droned
along they engaged in much
hilarity and good-natured jibes
at their Republican colleagues
across the aisle. The atmosphere
was sober on the Republican
side, where the appreciation of
their defeat seemed to rest
heavily.
The galleries were crowded in
both chambers.
Senators Face Challenge

Senate were sworn in. notice was
served of challenges to the va
lidity of two new Democratic

Repulsed in two efforts to

The same thorough police pro"

Benjamin replied.
"The committee wants to see

China Bans Neutral Zone
In Note to League

NANKING, Dec. 7 G.N.S0. .
China today challenged the right
Of Japan to maintain troops in
the South Manchuria railway
zone.
The Nationalist government de-
manded evacuation of japanese
troops from that area in a note to
it's delegate to the League of Ma
tions Council instructing him to
reject the Leagues proposal for
creation of a neutral zone in the
Chinchow area. The message to
Paris said:
China does not recognize that
any claim on the part of Japan
to station her troops in the SO
called railway zone has been
justified by treaty agreement.
The government reserves the
right to ask evacuation of Japa-
nese troops from the ZOne."
This was the first time since
the outbreak of Manchurian hos
tilities that Nanking has called
into question the legal right of
the Japanese to maintain $4,000
troops along the Japanese-owned
railway in South Manchuria.
That right was granted in the
Sino-Japanese treaty of 1915.
China has always contended that
her signature to that treaty was
obtained under duresS and there
fore should not be binding upon
her.
Thousands of students are
swarming into Marking, demon
strating against direct negotia-
tions with Japan and demanding
war to drive the Japanese out OF
