BANS
MRS. CARAWAY

The declaration of Governor
Parnell, of Arkansas, that the
Senatorial prerogatives of the
late Senator Thaddeus H. Cara
way belonged" to his widow. will
be ignored by the Democratic
party in the Senate. just as it
was disregarded by the Republi-
cans.
The Republicans first ousted
Mrs. Caraway, who was appointed
to the vacancy caused by her late
husbands death, from the sump-
tuous three-room suite the late
Senator occupied in the Senate
Office Building. She was given
two rooms in "store-room corri-
dor" on the first floor, at the
end furthest from the Capitol.
Now the Democrats will oust
her from her husbands seat on
the floor of the Senate, assigning
her a chair and desk at the out
side corner where other Sena-
torial noviceS sit.
On top of that, the Democrats
will deny her the choice commit
tee assignments held by her hus-
band. This is all in accordance
with strict Senate tradition.

at 4:15 p. m. today to con-

cessation of hostilities in Man

Evacuation of Japanese troops

the Council is exerting all possible
pressure on Japan and China to
accept a resolution providing for

The Japanese were ready to
agree to the league plan. so long

military measures against Chinese

promises from Tokyo that the
Japanese army in South Man

action except in self lfdefense.

Some of the smaller powers, in

mand that the league resolution
should provide for immediate
cessation of hostilities."
But Japan will not accept such
definite statement as that, and
it was expected unanimous agree

Jouett ShouSe, executive secretary

but that no Congressional leader
would support the attack.
Sees Democrat Split
Snoot declared:
Notwithstanding the fury of

men have heaped upon the
SmOOt.HawIey act, only one
representative party leader has
ever publicly named rates in
the act which he considers too
high. That Democrat is JOuett
ShOuSe, and the items named
were sugar and wool. The pres
ent rates on these two COM
mOdities were written with the
active cooperation of Demo
cratic Senators and they will
be lowered, If at all, only over
the most strenuous objection Of
Democrats in both Senate and
House.

ber Of Congress has backed up

sion to revise the rates down
ward on either sugar or wool.
On the contrary, the chief Demo
cratic appeals to the commits
sion have been for increased
rates on commodities produced
In their respective localities"
Ignore Party Lines
Smoot's reference to Democratic
votes helping to enact sugar and
wool rates hit the Democrats in
o sore spot. In the last tariff
battle the Democratic Senators
and Representatives from Florida
and Louisiana supported the sugar
rates and even asked higher rates
than those in the bill.
On the woolen schedule. the
Democratic Senators from the
cattle country Wyoming, New
Mexico, and Texas-voted for the
duties proposed by the Repub-
lcans. Their party leaders could
not whip them into line against
the rates which were demanded
by their home industries.
