Climbing from the foothills to

far as plant and animal life is con-

210 Dead, 473 Wounded,
Casualties of Japanese

TOKYO, Dec. S G.N.SJ.-Since
the beginning of the Manchurian
conflict in September, 2lO Japa'
nese soldiers have been killed and
473 wounded in clashes with the
Chinese, according to an official
government statement issued to-
day.
The war office intimated this
evening that a Japanese attack
on Chinchow may be launched
soon. despite the League of Ma
tons efforts to maintain peace
in that area of South Man
churia.
The necessity of such an at
tack is fast developing, said a
war office statement, due to the
spread of Chinese bandit activi
ties south of Hsinmin.

BANKHEAD CASE
FIRST PUZZLE
FOR SENATE
Upper House More Concerned
Over AIabaman and Moses >,
Than Law Program

The seating of the Demo
| cratic Senator-elect, John II.
Bankhead of Alabama, and
the lnsurgent revolt against
reelection of Senator George
H. Moses of New Hampshire,
as President pro tenn, gave
Senate leaders greater con-
Germ today than he ponderous
legislative issues confronting
them in the new Congress.
The opening session Monday
may be devoted to a bitter contest
over the seating of Bankhead. A
Senate elections subcommittee, de-
claring Bankhead's election last
November. fraudulent, may pave
the way to a fight to keep him
from taking the oath OF Office.
He probably will be seated in
the end, although he is by no
means certain of keeping his seat.
Moses Up Next
Once this issue is settled
peacefully or after a battle-the
Senate will have to decide the
question of rejecting Moses as its
presiding officer. An insurgent
group. headed by Senator Norris
(R.) of Nebraska, has announced
that it will vote against Moses.
Their minimum strength OF
nine votes will be enough to keep
Moses from winning, although no
other candidate may receive the
majority necessary for election.
If a deadlock ensues, Moses
may withdraw to permit election
of some other Republican.
There was a possibility the
Bankhead contest and contro-
versy over Moses might last sew
eral days. This would block all
legislative action, since both
questions are of the highest
privilege.
No Rush in Senate
It would not interfere with the
administration program, however,
since the first week of each ses-
sion is devoted to messages from
the President and preparation for
the legislative battles ahead.
The legislative program, ap-
proved by administration leaders
called for prompt action on Presi-
dent Hoover's moratorium on
World War debts.
Investigation into all activities
of the Federal Farm Board may
be the first major task under
taken b. the Senate.
All the other important legiSla-
tive proposals-touching taxation,

lief by appropriations-must orig
mate in the House.

Relief for needy unemployed

are concerned.
The group, in ser-,s OF IN
formal conferences on its legis-

to fight any attempt to side-track
this issue in favor Of others.
Predicated On Survey
The Progressive decision to
press for a large appropriation
for unemployment relief is predi-
Gated on an extensive private in
ouiry made into the ability OF
state, city, and charity organlza-
tions to take care of the demand
for food, shelter. and clothing for

Senator La Toilette (RO OF

obtained by this investigation be-
fore the Senate when he calls
for action on his bill carrying a
Federal unemployment relief
appropriation. This measure,
now being drafted, is expected
to provide for a Federal contrlbu'

It also is reported the bill
would set up the wartime agency

The progresSives are certain Of
Administration opposition to
their demand, but believe they
