SENATORS RESENT
CABLE BY QUEzON
Demand for Philippine Free
ing "or No Action" Hit
by Bingham.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Resentment was expressed in Senate
circles yesterday over a request by
Manuel Quezon. president Of the Philip
pine Senate, that Congress pass q bill
providing for immediate independence
for the islands or no bill at all
The utterance was contained in a
cablegram from Manila to the Island
Mission here, and brought immediate
reaction at the Capitol that freedom
without transition period to allow
the islands gradually to become
economically as well as politically inde-
pendent was out of the question.
Chairman Bingham Of the Senate
Territories Committee, which favorably
reported the pending Hawes-C Cutting
bill granting full independence in about
18 years, said he would fight to the
last ditch in the interest Of the
viding immediate freedom.
Sees Changed Attitude.
He added that independence had
been the battle cry" of Filipino
leaders for years, and now that they
were about to get it they don't want
it because they know it means their
economic ruin"
Senator Cutting Republican, New
Mexico), who, with Senator Halves
Democrat, Missouri), wrote the bill
now before the Senate, said congress
sional sentiment for gradual inde-
pendence had progressed to point
where 1t would be useless now to try
to get through one granting immediate
freedom, regardless of what the mission
here thought about 1t.
However, Cutting said he would pre-
fer immediate independence if the Sen
ate retained amendments adopted Fri
day such as that by Senator Long
Democrat, Louisiana, cutting down
the bills limitation on free-duty sugar
imports from the islands from 850, ,000
tons to $4,000.
Reconsideration Motion.
Senator Pittman. Democrat, Nevada
will move reconsideration of the LONG
amendment when the Senate resumes
| debate on the bill Monday. But there
is strong sentiment for strict limitation
especially among the sugar State mem.
GERS ana those coming from States pro-
ducing cordage and products competing
with the islands coconut oil. It was
thought likely that all Of these Sen

Meanwhile, speculation was indulgec

some kind of independence measure will
pass the Senate next week and be sent
to conference with the House. The lat.

CASE ORIGINATED IN U. S.
Cumming Blamed Parrot Fever on Do
mestic Birds,

Surg. Gen. Hugh S. Cumming, whose
1929 campaign against pSittacoSiS re-
suited in clamping down strict parrot
import quarantine. today warned that
this method cannot be expected to
check new appearances of parrot
fever"
He said cases now arising are being
traced almost invariably to domestic
love birds. believed by physicians the
source of Mrs. William E. Borah's i'll
ness.
Last night DR.. Cumming dispatched
to Boise via airmail packet OF parrot
fever" convalescent serum for treatment
of the Idaho Senator's wife.
The serum was obtained from the
blood of DR.. Charles Armstrong, Public
Health Service physician, who recovered
from the disease after a severe attack
during the outbreak of nearly three
years ago.
"The only case arising from an i'm
ported bird since We started the quaran-
tine was customs officer at San
Diego who went out to ship and
brought a bird ashore" said DR.. Cum
ming. "All the rest arose from domestic
birds. and all thus far have been from
the West Coast"
A study of psittacosis among domestic
birds, made two months ago by DR..
H. E. Hasseltine of the Public Health
Service, resulted in recommendation
for further intensive efforts to locate
the focal point of the disease and work
out a control system.
This will be done, the Public Health
Service indicated as rapidly as limited
appropriations allow.
Extensive Investigations of the disease
by the service led to the system Of
treating it with convalescent serum,
which now has been invoked for the
treatment of Mrs. Borah. DR.. Arm
donor of the blood from which
the serum was obtained. was the author
of the Public Health Service treatise of
the disease.
Public Health Service records show
1882 psittacosis cases as follows:
California - February, two cases;
March, three; April, three; May, one;
August, two. New York City-Febru-
ary, two (both traced to West Coast
source). Oregon-January, one case.

Gandhi Appeal to People.
Gsndhi issued an appeal to the peo-
pie of India to refrain from fasting
with him and insisting that instead Of
this they set about doing all in their
power to remove the stigma of un-
touchability.
Gandhi expressed himself as opti
miStic over the outcome In a statement
to the Associated Press this morning
I'm quite optimistic regarding this
afternoons conference" he said. My
optimism may be perfectly stupid, how
ever, for il you were TO ask my reasons
for it I have none save that I have
much faith in this fast as God
ordained thing and l have an equal
faith in this cause
Although weakness must naturally
creep on from day to day, compared
with my previous fasts I'm taking this
one much more easily. l find myself
also in perfect peace. Up to the pres
ent have found no difficulty in carry
ing on prolonged sustained converse =
ton on the question Of untouchability
with the various deputations.
Although it has required tremendous
concentration. 1 have not found any
difficulty. 1 know. however, that I can
not carry on like this much longer.
Deep Spiritual Effort"
MY message to the American people
is that they must not mistake this for
a political move. 1t is a deep spiritual
effort, the result of SO years Of constant
application to an ideal. 1t is penance.
and it is seeing as an ideal nothing
less than the deliverance Of several mil
lions OF human beings from a horrible
religious serfdom Its success cannot
but have repercussion on the whole of
humanity.
1T is because believe, rightly or
wrongly. that the British decision i'm
posing separate celebrates threatens to
put huge obstacle in the way of re-
form which for the past 10 years has
been moving with geometrical progress
sion that have staked my life to re-
sist it.
After three days my conviction IS
stronger that the step I have taken is
absolutely correct. If my presentation
of the case is true, this cause demands
mobilizing world opinion to compel
right conduct by the British govern
ment."

armaments.
The State Department and the Navy
Department. he continued, have ap-
piled themselves earnestly to study OF
the methods by which this Government
could contribute" to arms reduction,
and added that officers of the two de-
partments had been devoting them
selves for the last two months to this
study.
He explained that to represent this
Government the PRESIDENT had appoint
ed Norman Davis as delegate and Rear
Admiral Arthur J. Hepburn as adviser.
Studies Not Finished.
Explaining that the first meeting is
October 3 and that it is important"
for this country to be represented then,
he added, but, unfortunately. it will
not be possible to complete the tech
nical calculations and studies necessary
for preparation Of instructions to be
given our representatives. and allow
them to sail on an American vessel to
get over on time.
Under the circumstances. Mr.. Stiin-
son said, ''it is my considered opinion
that the exigencies of the situation, the
importance OF our being represented at
that meeting and the impossibility OF
completing studies in preparation OF
this Governments policy" would justify
the expenditure of funds to allow Davis,
Admiral Hepburn, a clerk and another
adviser, who is still to be named, to
sail on the steamer Europa, which
leaves New York on the morning Of
September %.
In his response, pointing out the law

sible, and saying that this act was well

ing preparation and securing material

He added that his Office had already
been advised that accommodations were
available on the Leviathan, which sailed
September 20, and as a matter of fact

The general attitude at the corpora
ton today was that except when he
communicates direct with the corpora
ton or its officials, no reply other than

Pinchots statement today came
quickly on the heels Of an 800word
statement by the corporations chair
man, Atlee Pomerene, which blamed
Pennsylvania officials for the delay in
effecting the advance, and said:
If there has been any failure to
grant relief to the poor and distressed
of Pennsylvania, the fault lies with the
Governor and the Legislature Of that
great State and not with the Recon-

that corporation actions were inde-

The corporation directors opened their
public statement by saying that in
view of the many misstatements which
have issued from Harrisburg.
We desire the people Of Pennsylvania to
know the facts"
The corporation recited that three
days before President Hoover signed

tion. Gov Pinchot applied for s45.-

seven States, first making applications,
