FIGHT AGAINST
| LAME DUCKS
Nebraska Senator Hopeful
of Triumphing in His
Long Battle.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent
fYonvrt~nt 1922 t1v limited prpset


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Presen-
tation to the senate Of a unanimous
committee report advocating aboli-
ton of lame duck congresses and
( The attendant legislative jams and
filibusters will be the first legisla-
tive work in 1892 of Senator George
w. Norris Rep. Neb).
The project, if approved by two
thirds OF each house Of congress
and ratified by thirty-six iegisla-
lures before next Oct IS. also would
end President Hooyers present
term in Office on Jan. Is. 1888, in
stead of March Z, as now provided
by the Constitution.
Norris, chairman Of the judiciary
committee, disclosed today he has
been authorized to make a favorable
report on his constitutional amend
ment, under which the new congress
would meet two months after cleo
ton instead of thirteen months, as
at present.
Hopeful of Passage
The senator. who has campaigned
for this reform for more than a
decade, is hopeful the amendment
will be approved by congress and
submitted to the legislatures for
ratification on this year.
The thirteen month period was
written in by leaders of an ox-cart
and stage coach era, when intelli-
'gence Of national happenings and
Journeys to and from the capital
took months, instead Of minutes or
days, Norris pointed out.
The senate has passed this reso-
luton in each Of the last six con-
crosses" he said, land I expect it to
be passed again without much de-
bate or opposition. No logical OBJ
lection ever has been made to the
changes proposed"
In the house, which has prevented
submission in the last six con-
greSses, the amendments chances
are believed to be better this year
because of the Democratic majority.
House Is Interested
Intense interest in this funda-
mental change is shown by the in
PRODUCTION Of nearly a score of such
amendments by house members.
LIST session the house approved a
Lame duck" amendment, but
cnaj d tn provisions to cut short
s1or the session Of congress in
even. umbered years. Norris and
the. senate refuse to accept this
modification, and the whole plan
failed.
Norris principal aim, he explained
today, is to end the distractions
which have always marked the
short,-or three month sessions of
congress.

 He also insisted on balanced budget along with a reduction of national, state and local govern mental expenditures. He demand ed sound currency policy and favored restricted immigration.

search for the missing Lindbergh
baby.
Along the trails of Romany
last night the word was flung
by messengers in speeding cars,
by airplane, wireless and tele-
phone. The edict of the Gypsy
king, Leon Mitchell, ruler of the
four great tribes knitting to-
gether 5000 gypsies in this
country, was then taken up by
couriers until it had reached
every guttering camp fire.
Over the bubbling supper pots
from Canada to Florida the in
structions of official gypsydom
were repeated:
"Search for the Lindbergn
baby, even throughout your
own encampmentS."
The plan to aid in the baby
hunt followed a conference here
yesterday between Mitchell and

HOPEWELL, N. j., March 10
S0.-Training in hardship re-
ceived in gruelling flights with
her husband has enabled Anne
Morrow Lindbergh to bear up
since the Lindbergh baby was kid
naped, DR.. Joseph S. Vanneman,
of Princeton, said today. He
said: ... ..
"She has reached a finenesS
which permits her to keep her
head and retain her health.
"Her cold, though annoying,
is not serious. When went to
see her, I met her walking ON
the terrace. Her only concern
was for her baby'S health"
DR.. Vanneman attended the
baby until it was 10 months old.
He called on Colonel and Mrs.
Lindbergh yesterday to treat the
latter for a cold.
He believed the abducted son
of the Lindberghs will suffer no
i'll effects in health from his ex-
perience, unless he fell into the
hands of feeble-minded person.
He said: -
''The baby is healthy and
normal in every respect.
Strange surroundings or change
in food should not hurt him.
even though he is i'm the
midst of his teething period,
there is no particular danger.
It is comforting to realize that
milk is uniformly pure"
The Li0dbergh baby, the doctor
declared, has no birth marks:
