New Issues I'm Prospect.
Meanwhile there is a possibility of
new issues being developed for debate
in Congress, and 1t Is confidently ex-
pected that the Wickersham report will
afford plenty of opportunity for the
taking of more time that might be de-
voted to consideration of appropriation
measures.
There is always the possibility that
Congress will speed up legislation In the
last minute or that a resolution con-
tinuing the present appropriations will
be passed to carry over into the next
fiscal year. There are so many impor-
tant and vital problems pressing for
consideration that many members of
Congress who are not particularly anx-
ious for an extra session are wondering
If it can be avoided at all. AS a rule
the minority group decides whether
there Is to be an extra session when
the Congress expires by limitation on
the 4th of March. And there are nu-
merouS influences which are trying TO
force the new Congress into action
sooner than December, 1881.

SENATE ACTION DUE
ON INTERIOR BILL
viii Be Second Approval of
Salary Increase in Un-
deraverage Grades.

The Senate probably will pass the
Interior appropriation bill tomorrow or
Tuesday. and in doing so will approve
for the second time the budget recon-
mendation for funds to make a start
this year toward increasing salaries Of
Government employees in underaverage
grades Of the classification law
The real test as to whether these
promotions will be started this year
will come, however when the con-
fereeS make a final report on the
Treasury-Post ONCE supply bill. which
was the first measure to which the
Senate added these salary increases.
There were no developments on this
bill during the past week. Senate con-
ferees have been appointed, but further
conferences have been awaiting the ap-
pointment Of the managers to repre-
sent the House. The first conference
on the TreaSury-PoSt ONCE bill, before
Christmas, resulted in striking out the
Senate salary increases, but this report
was rejected by the Senate, and the bill
wa sent back to conference
The amounts approved by the Senate
represent 80 per cent of the total re-
quired for all underaverage salaries,
the purpose being to spread the grant,
ing of all the promotions over a three
year period

VICTIM OF AMNESIA
MAY BE IDENTIFIED
Press Photo Brings Letters From
Flint, Mich, for Hypnotic
Patient.
By the Associated Press.

by Lne Associated PRESS.
BATON ROUGE, La, January TO-
Through the medium of an Associated
Press feature photo distributed through
out the country an amnesia victim
who has been under hypnotic treat
ments here for restoration for several
months has been tentatively identified
as John Herbert Lawrence, experiment
tai engineer of Flint, Mich, recently
Of Los Angeles, Calf, and one-time
member of the British Flying Corps.
The man is known here as George
Mason a name he says is not his, but
one he adopted when he woke up in
New Orleans hotel in May, 1929, and
reported to authorities he had no recol-
lection Of the past. Well supplied with
money he was carrying when he be-
came a victim of amnesia, Mason
said he Travelled all over the country
in an effort to find himself" finally
returning here unsuccessful.
AS last resort to link up the past
he submitted to hypnotic treatments
at the suggestion of DR.. Paul C. Young,
psychologist at Louisiana State Uni
versity here.
The story of the treatments and
Mason's dilemma appeared with his
photograph in Associated Press men,
Der papers last month, and hundreds
of letters were written in to DR.. Young
suggesting possible identiflcations.

SENATORS URGED
TO VOTE FOR FARE
John ]. Noonan Writes All
Members to Support Re-
duced Care Rates.

With indications that the bill pro-
viding reduced car fare for Washing
ton school children will come up for
consideration in the Senate in the near
future, John j. Noonan yesterday mailed
written plea to all members of the
Senate to support the measure.
Mr.. Noonan pointed out that there
are 1882 children, dependent on
charity, who are too poor to pay any
car face, and urged that the Board of
Education be authorized to furnish free
car fare to them. Should this be too
great burden for the car companies
he declared the taxpayers would be glad
to pay their transportation to and from
school.
AT the present 10 cent fare" Mr..
Noonan said, 1T would cost family Of
three children attending school $108
year A scent fare means $54 year
A 2-cent fare, $21.62. How can the
$1,000 to $1,400 income afford either
of the above eXpenses-to say nothing
of the children of the unemployed, the
sick the laborer and the washwoman?
A half fare may be all right for the
children of parents who can afford it,
but free tokens should be supplied for
the poor children.

TANGLE MAY FORCE
AN EXTRA SESSION
Congress Must Take Positive
Action to Avoid One, Situa-
ton Implies.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Congress has gotten itself into many
tangles. The Power Commission fight.
the attempt to pass food loan and the
injection of number of collateral
issues, such as the proposal to unseat
Senator James j. Davis of Pennsylvania
because of large expenditures made in
the campaign, all have served to make
1t doubtful what the next six weeks
will bring in the way of necessary ap-
preparation bills.
Unless funds are appropriated in ac-
cordance with the estimates an extra
session of Congress will be forced,
While nobody is willing to take re-
sponsibility for a filibuster that would
compel an extra session, the situation
is drifting along in such fashion that
Congress will find itself the last part of
February with so much unfinished bust
ness that any two or three Senators
can bring about the extra session.
AntagOniSm Is Noted.
The atmosphere at present in Wash
ington is so filled with antagonisms that
the prompt passage of the needed ap-
preparation bills has been retarded. 1t
had been believed that the drought loan
bills would be passed long before this,

 Upon theic arrival in the Capital the boys and girls will be given an examination upon certain subjects. Then for two days they will be shown educational talking pictures, prepared jointly by well qualified educators and Fox Film Corporation, on these same subjects. Finally they will be given a second examination to ascertain how much they have learned from the pictures they have seen.
 The visit of the boys and girls to Washington will not be all work and no play. The program for their entertainment includes visits to the White House, the Capitol and other points of interest in the city in ad- dition to a dance, a theater party, a bus ride to Arlington and Mount Vernon and a boat trip to Annapolis.
