plant against the appointment Of
Charles T. Jesse, as treasurer of Ar
lington County, filed with him by the
county organization of the Women's S

that he had nothing to do with the ap-
pointment or choosing of the treasurer,
who recently was named to fill the va
cency created by resignation.
He added, however, that so far as
he knew Mr.. Jesse was fully qualified
for the position. The nature of the

MMITTEE VOTES
SPARKS ALIEN BAN
Would Exclude Foreigners in Ap.
portionment of State
Representatives.

The Sparks resolution, proposing a
constitutional amendment to exclude
aliens in the apportionment Of Repre-
sentatives among the States, was ap-
proved today by the House judiciary
Committee by 12-to-7 vote.
The resolution is identical to one
reported to the last House, which failed
of action. The committee added an
amendment requiring ratification in
seven years in language identical to
that attached by the House recently to
the lame duck constitutional amend
ment.
The proposed amendment would read !:
Aliens shall be excluded from the
count of the whole number of persons
in each State in apportioning Repre-
sentatives among the several States ac-
cordfng to their respective numbers"

LAME DUCK REPORT
ADOPTED BY HOUSE
Conferees' Agreement on
Proposed Constitutional
Amendment Approved.
NJ fhA A.rnnintna prn.r

By the Associated Press.
The House today adopted the confer.
enoe report reconciling differences with
the Senate on the proposed constitu-
tional amendment to abolish the lame
duck" sessions of Congress.
Only Senate acceptance Of the re-
port is needed to complete congress
sional action. This is virtually certain,
the Senate having adopted the lame
duck amendment seven times in nine
years.
To Await Ratification.
President Hoover does not sign the
resolution. 1t goes to the State De-
partment to await ratification by SO
States within seven years.
The resolution provides for two in
determinate sessions of Congress to be-
gin on January each year. 1t was
over the second unlimited session that
the Senate and House disputed for
nearly a decade.
When the House was in Republican
control, it insisted upon a four month
term for the second session Senator
Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, refused
to accept this on the ground it would
permit the killing of legislation by fill
clustering.
Differences Composed.
Under Democratic leadership, the
House approved two indeterminate ses-
sions. Other minor differences were
composed by Senate and House con-
ferees Saturday.
As finally approved the measure per-
nlits new Congress to take over re-
sponsibility for legislating two months
after the biennial November elections
instead Of 13 months. Terms of Con-
eresmen begin on January 3 and of the
President and Vice President on Janu-
ary 20, instead of March 4, as at
present.

| Units of the local National Guard
have been selected to make certain
tests Of tentative Infantry drill regula-

headquarters says that in view OF the
limited number of armory drills before
| the expiration of the test period, and
| the necessity of carrying on the exist
| ing armory drill schedule during the
period, 1t is necessary to allot specific
chapters to specific units for test and
report. It was added that there will
be no objection to any unit commander

specially assigned to him. All officers
| receiving special assignments must IA
miliarize themselves with the basic
| changes, especially as to squad, section,
platoon and company formations, con-
| tanned in the proposed regulations, be-
| fore attempting actual tests with the
enlisted personnel in the ranks and
before reporting their comments and
recommendations covering their assign
ment to brigade headquarters.
The order further states that 1t is
realized, due to the limited test period,
! numbers of enlisted men in the ranks
will not always be practicable. It is
desired that these be conducted when
ever possible and when 1t will not in
