EXTRA SESS|ON|F|RES|DE XMAS
SEEN CERTAIN FOR GEORGEV

Surveying the work done by the
lame-duck Congress during the
first one-third of its brief span,
leaders in both houses were rec
onciled today to the prospect of
an arduous extra session next
spring.
The belief was universal that
President Frankling D. Roosevelt
will have to convene the Seventy
third Congress soon after assuln,
ing the Nations helm March A
and that something like three
months would be required to dis
pose of major problems requiring
immediate attention.
Aside from appropriation bills,
the House has approved only one
piece, of major legislation-the
Collier beer bill. The Senate will
not take up the first of 3the ap-
preparation bills until next month.
It has only one major enactment
out of the way, the Philippine
independence bill.
Three measures of prime i'm
portance are on the Senate cal
endar for the two months which
will remain after the Christmas
holiday. One is the beer bill, an
other the repeal resolution drafted
by a Senate Judiciary subcom-
mittee, and the third is the Glass
banking reform bill.

SHELBY BROKER
/ To TELL ALL

LOS ANGELES, Dec. "a GIN.
SO.-Sensational revelations to-
day were promised by Leslie B.
Henry, Pasadena broker and club
man, accused of embezzling $780,
900 in bonds from the account of
Mrs. Charlotte Shelby. mother of
Mary Miles Minter, former film
star.
Preparing a foundation to his
defense, Henry indicated he
would Justify" his confessed en-
bezzlement.
The broker said the origin of
his manipulations occurred when
Mrs. Shelby and Miss Minter en-
gagged in a legal dispute at the
height of Miss Minter's film
career.
Henry's attorney said "no stone
will be left unturned to bring out
all the facts. Henry acted only
as Mrs. Shelby's agent and he
does not intend to take the blame.
We intend to bare everything, to
spare no one"
Mrs. Shelby countered with the
statement
II am not worried. All I can
say is that this situation has
left me stranded. My life saw
ingS are gone. But / will make
every effort possible to get back
my money"

YEAR Of PRAYER
PROCLAIMED
BY POPE
Pronunciamento Also Deplores
Prosecutions and Enmity
Between Nations

VATICAN CITY, Dec. "a
ON.SO.-To encourage prayer and
atonement in a world beset with
materialistic troubles, Pope Plus
XII today proclaimed celebration
of a holy year from April, 1888, to
April, 1884, commemorating the
nineteenth centenary of the death
of Christ.
The Holy Year will begin on
April q.
The proclamation was delivered
by His Holiness in a Christmas
message to the Sacred College Of
Cardinals, gathered in the great
consistory hall of the Vatican.
His Holiness said:
''It will be of great benefit to
the world not to hear talk Of
conflicts and miStruSt, arms and
disarmament, debts and repara-
tiOnS and the solving of miseries,
both industrial and social.
$50 we move that this COM
memOratiOn of the nineteenth
century of ChriSt's death should
extend during full year, which
we proclaim a holy year, SO as
to permit the faithful to have
maximum value for prayer and
atOnement."
Refers to Controversy
In proclaiming next year a holy
year, the Pope referred to the
scientific controversy over the
actual time of the death of Christ.
He said:
"Science is not so sure as be-
levers that 1888 can be identi-
fled with the real year Of the
death of the Savior.
"We have made enquiries.
We have found that the years
1880 to 1888 are favored for
the nineteenth centenary.
1--WE must accomplish our
duty. This celebration will be
dutiful and faithful"
TabulateS joys, Sorrows
Following the traditional ritual
Of pontifical Christmas greetings,
the Pope then tabulated his "joys
and sorrows" of the past year.
He said:
1--WE cannot help mention
ing among our sorrows those
which are painful to our heart
on account of the unjust perSe-
cutiOn against the church and
clergy in Spain, Mexico and
Russia.
"NO less painful is the pro-
lOnged duration of distrust and
enmity between nations"

KILLING CLUE

NEW YORK, Dec. "a G.N.SJ.
Detectives grouped today for q
solution to the newest "sack
murder mystery" uncovered in a
sewer catch basin yesterday, with
a Boy Scout belt as their only
clue.

victim, police said, indicated he
was between IA and Is years old.
The body was clad in a blue suit
and blue shirt. About it was a
Boy Scout belt.
The youth, according to detec-
tives, had apparently been slain
and his body, wrapped in two
burlap bags and trussed up with
rope, thrust into the sewer about
eight weeks ago.

Mrs. Snipes today addressed
a prayer to mothers of the
world to save her unborn child

She said:
"The greatest Christmas gift
that could come to me would
be for other mothers to pray
that, through some means, my
little baby will not be forced

immigration officers hummed

trudged about town, hunting their
old playmate, Harry F. Gerguson,
who likes to call himself Prince
Michael Romanoff. He has been
called that in Newport and Holly
wood (and a lot of other names
by citizens who caShed checks
for him in New York; and he's
back in town. And, unofficially,
the immigration agents would like
to see him.
For if Prince Mike is back,
they said, it's odds on that he
came without benefit of passport,
permission, or payment of steamer
fare.
The Prince has done it before.
And there's no reason to think
he has changed his habits.
