REPTILES "SWIMo
IN DESERT SANDS OF CALIFORNIA
WedgeShaped Head, With a Sharp ''Keel,' Aids
Propulsion of Subterranean Snake.

Sand-swimmers can disappear from
sight in an incredibly short time.
Similar types are found in the Sahara
Desert, but they are skinks, members
of the lizard family. The lower side Of
the body of the skink is concave, form
ing sharp parallel keels. BY drawing
in the ventral scales through contrac-
ton Of its strong abdominal muscles,
the California Sand-swimmer can ac-
compliSh the same thing.
Eyes OF some sand-swimmers are pro-
tected by very thick lids with fringe
like scales. The lids close with a dou-
BILE surface.
DR.. Mosauer has also found similarities
between snakes living on the surface Of
the Sahara and Southern California
Deserts. They have Independently de-
veloped the same kind Of locomotion.
Such are the horned viper of the
Sahara and the sidewinder of the
Southwestern deserts Both travel by
"sidewinding," which in its principle
resembles the sidewise rolling Of
screw. This form Of travel eliminates
necessity Of firm points OF resistance on
the ground, essential to the normal
wriggle or undulatory method.

TOXIC, November 21-A foreign Of
flee spokesman today said publication
Of Japan's recently announced naval
limitation program had been left up
to the japanese delegation to the World
Disarmament Conference in Geneva.
Early presentation of the japanese
idea had been considered, it was said,
on the basis Of reports that the United
States and Great Britain were near a
compromise on their respective dis
armament plans.
The spokesman said it was learned
later, however, that the Anglo Ameri-
can compromise, If reached, would con-
cern only minor matters, and as a re-
suit Toxic felt no reason for haste.
The plan was pronounced ready re-
Gently, but none of its details was re-
vealed It was emphasized today the

naval limitation and Manchuria as en-

PERIL MANCHUkU0

MUKDEN, Manchuria, November 81.
The Japanese position in Northwest
Manchuria was becoming increasingly
difficult today with roughly one-fourth
of the whole of the new State OF Man
chukuo In the hands of inSurgent Chi
nese.
Gen. Su Ping-Wen, who formerly
was a member of the new Manchukuo
regime, revolted recently and with the
help of some 10000 other Chinese ir-
regulars took a vast area that lies
against the Soviet border.
Two hundred and forty-five Japanese
captives still held hostage by Gen. Su
were declared in danger OF their lives,
but nevertheless the Japanese army was
pouring reinforcements into the bleak
Northern area, preparing to attack
Gen. Su.
Meanwhile, Chinese irTegulars con-
tinued to menace other areas, resorting
of late to incendiarism. II is estimated
the Japanese have lost at least a mil
lion dollars worth Of airplaneS in Muk-
den and elsewhere through arson.
Despite the difficulties. Japanese au-
thorities In Manchuria have said they
will carry out Japan's policies regardless
of any action by the League Of Nations.

HERRIOT is SAFE
AFTER TRAIN PLOT
Blames Breton Autonomists for
Dynamiting of Tracks Ahead

PARIS, November 2l.-Premier
Edouard Herriot and a large official
party arrived in Paris safe and sound
today despite an apparent attempt to
blow up their special train in Brittany
during the night.
The railroad track was blown up at
Ingrandes, is miles from Nantes, early
yesterday just before the special train
reached the spot and in time for Sec
ton men to flag down the train
The premier for several hours was
unaware of the violence that might
have caused his death. When he
reached the capital today he said
Breton autonomists" were to blame
for the explosion.
"a Separatist movement has persisted
in Brittany ever since it was joined
with France in 1882, and has main
tanned early Celtic tradition for five
centuries. The Celtic language Is still
spoken IN lower Brittany, and the area
Is much like Wales in Gree. 0aIain.)
Unruffled by the excitement, the
premier went ahead with a scheduled
address at Nantes, celebrating the 400th
anniversary Of the union Of Brittany
and France.
When he arrived the head Of the
French government In characteristic
fashion referred to his narrow escape
IN o Whimsical vein. He referred to

REVENUE ESTIMATED
Wet Bloc to Draft Bill Protecting
Dry States and Placing
Ban on Saloon.

President Hoover Will not veto bill
authorizing 275 per cent beer and
which affords the proper protection to
those States desiring to remain dry, if
such legislation does not bring back to
life the saloon, according to Represent
ative Britten, Republican, of Illinois.
The Illinois Representative, leader of
the so-called wet bloc in the House, re-
vealed this attitude Of the President re-
garding beer legislation following
long conference with the President in
his Office today.
Representative Britten not only felt
confident as to the attitude Of the
Executive, but he predicted that New
Year eve will be celebrated with real
beer rather than poor wine and syn
thetic beverages. He said he expects
House, and he is confident the revenue
to be produced from this source alone
will amount to s35, 100000 month. He
said this would allow the retailing of
peer at III cents DOttle.
Aside from the mandate of the peo-
pie expressed in the elections of No
vember last" Mr.. Britten said, "the
economic features of modifying the Vol
stead law so as to permit 2.75 beer is
sufficient to warrant its immediate en-
actment into law"
Wet Bloc Will Meet.
Representative Britten said the mem
bers of the wet bloc of the House will
hold a meeting in advance of the OPEN
ing of Congress in December to agree
on a plan of action. At this meeting
also will be perfected the 2.75 beer bill
to be introduced, which will insure pro-
lection to the States desiring to remain
dry and which will prevent the re-
establishment Of the saloon. He stated
the latter protection could easily be
afforded by prohibiting the drinking of
beer on premises where sold and by
permitting 1t to be drunk outside of
private hcmes only in hotels, restaurants
and clubs.
His confidence Of receiving speedy
action in the House on such bill was
based, he said, upon obtaining a spe-
ial rule suspending the rules of the
House and limiting debate. BY this
procedure he felt confident the bill
would pass within two or three days
after its introduction. He added that
both parties are bound by their plat
forms and promises made by their cam
paign orators during the campaign and
by the mandate Of the people in the
election.
Special Rule Declared Possible.
The Illinois Representative said. I'VE
will soon find out whether or not the
Democrats really want a modification
of the Volstead law and If they really
want to live up to their platform.
Speaker Garner has both the power
and authority to make a special rule
possible and I feel confident he viii
be consistent"
Following his talk with the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Britten said the beer question
was discussed and that he felt conf
dent Mr.. Hoover would not veto such
a beer bill as he has in mind, but he

GENEVA, Switzerland, November I'll
Japan and China, meeting again at the
bar of the League Of Nations, resumed
their contest over Manchuria today
where they left off at the last session
Of the League Council.
Yosuke Matsuoka defended Japans
course and rejected the findings of the
Lytton Commission, which investigated
the Manchurian situation for the
League and recommended creation of
a special international regime in Man
churta until the issue between Japan
and China Is settled.
DR.. Wellington Koo, replying for
China, asserted that If Japan,s inter-
probation Of the Kellogg pact is cor
rect the peoples of the world might
wen wonder what is the use Of up
holding it.
"If the Japanese version is to be
believed" he said, their country is a
meek lamb in the teeth of a ferocious
China"
Matsuoka's address was similar In all
respects to the official observations
published yesterday as Japan's answer
to the Lytton Commissions report, but
finished with conciliatory appeal
which is not to be found in previous
japanese utterances upon the conflict
with China.
Cites Mexican Expedition.
He cited the American punitive ex-
pedition Of 1916 in Mexico as a fair
precedent for Japan'S attack 'in legiti-
mate self-defense" upon Mukden In
September, 1881.
I'VE have violated neither the cove
nant OF the League, nor the nine-poWer
treaty, nor the pact Of Paris" he said.

If the Western World will bestow upon
us fraction Of the tolerance 1t has so
generously bestowed upon China it will
be gratefully received
"The policy, the hope, the deterrni-
nation of my country is the mainte-
nance Of peace. We want no war, we
want no more territory, we are not ag-
gressors. Deeply and earnestly we de-
sire the welfare Of our great neighbor. -

president.
-"One great reform" he said, needed
to put men and women back to work is
to establish in q universal way the five
day week and the Six-hour day. This
reform, which must ultimately be effect
ed, would if applied Immediately,
electrify economic conditions.
While 322 delegates and hundreds
of visitors heard Green outline labor's
detectives, the federation's Executive
Committee presented its own plan for
a system CT unemployment insurance in
every State, administered by State COM
missions and supported financially
wholly by the employers OF labor.
Executive Council Reports.
The convention, Green announced,
must and will grapple with unemploy-
ment, relief and all factors Of the de-
pressicn.'
The benefits under the insurance plan
would not be denied to those out OF
work because of trade dispute, or If
non-membership in labor union was a
condition Of employment.
1t was contained in the report OF the
Executive Council to the convention. The
report, covering a wide range of subjects,
also expressed opposition to a sales tax;
urged a seven-point economic program
by the Government to secure more
equitable distribution of income; advo-
Gated a fight for restoration of former
wage scales of Government employees;
asked modification of the Volstead act,
and advocated action against extended
use of convict labor and strong stand

LOS ANGELES, November 2l.-
Snakes that swim" in the desert sands
are being studied by DR.. Walter Mo-
sauer, Zoologist, at the University Of
California.
These California snakes live beneath
the surface of the desert, but in their
subterranean wanderings stay rather
close to the surface. For swimming pur-
poses the loose texture of the sand Is
mechanically comparable to the wa
ters Of the ocean. s
1.-The snakes are streamlined head
and body" DR.. Mosauer explained
THE head is wedge-shaped. with a
sharp keel or edge and countersunk
lower jaw"
These peculiar animals, known to
science as the Sonora Occipitalis, ac-
tually live in the sand, differing mark
edly from burrowing creatures which
live or travel through holes they dig
in the sand. DR.. Mosauer calls the
sand-swimming reptiles "Subarena-
ceous" types to differentiate them from
tunnelling animals.

Quick action by his colored helper
probably saved the life of Peter Pronxl,
42, when the scaffold On which he was
working 85 feet from the ground at the
Westchester Apartments slipped shortly
after neon today.
Police were told that Pronxl, a mason,
was pointing up brickwork on the north
side of the main building in the West
chester group when the rope holding
his scaffold slipped and he and the
scaffold came hurting to the ground
His helper. James Mack, colored, of
35l0 Garfield street, caught hold of the
rope and broke the mans fall before he
reached the ground according to off,
GERS. Nearly all the skin was burned
from Mack's hand by friction from the
slipping rope.
At Georgetown Hospital, to which
Pronxl was taken following his fall. it
was believed his only injury was a scalp
wound. No bones were believed to have
been broken. X-rays were being maze
to determine this positively.

GOVERNMENT WINS
R. c. A. TRUST FIGHT
Consent Decree Signed by
General Electric and
Westinghouse Co.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON, Del, November al
Complete enforcement of the General
Electric Co. and the Westinghouse
Electric g. Manufacturing Co. from
Radio Corporation Of America was or
dered today by the Federal Court OF
Delaware in a consent decree filed by
the Government in its antitrust suit
against the radio equipment companies.
At the same time the court ended
the long drawn out suit by enjoining
the defendants from attempting to re-
strain trade by means of patent licenses
or similar devices in violation of the
antitrust law.
The Government suit, filed in the
Spring of 1880, was to have gone to
trial last week, but was postponed when
it was announced to Judge John r.
Nields that peace proposals had been
presented by the defendants on No
Vember IL.
General Electric and Westinghouse,
which own a controlling interest in Re-
dio Corporation of America, are ordered
to dlvest themselves of their stock hold
ings, and while this is being brought
about the defendants are forbidden to
exercise the voting rights Of their stock.
The defendants also are enjoned
from further exercising or enforcing the
exclusive provision of their patent
cross licensing agreements, which the
government complained eliminated COM
petition and hampered the rights Of
other concerns in the radio business.
The defendant corporations are given
80 months to secure notifications of
their contracts with foreign govern
ments or corporations to conform with
the courts decree.
A statement issued by the Depart
ment of Justice, giving the details of
the settlement, stated the defendants
