"Million-Dollar Legs" despite

Chiefly because of it's uneven

u. S. CONSULS REMAIN
ACTIVE IN MANCHURIA
Offices Kept Open, Though Not Ac-
credited to Pu-Yi's New Inde.

BY the Associated Press.
Although American consular officers
in Manchuria are accredited to China
and not to Henry Pu-Yis new indie
pendent government. they continue 10
function and will probably remain there
Indefinitely despite the United States
Withholding recognition of the new
set-ip
This Government has no consulate at
Changchun, the capital of the new
government. At Mukden and Harbin
the United States maintains large con-
sulates which handle the business for
all Manehuria
George G. Hanson, the consul general
at Harbin, has a consul and two vice
consuls assisting him, and Consul Gen.
eral Myrl S. Myers, at Mukden, has a
staff of eight.
The work on consuls Is largely con-
fined to contacts with local officials
rather than with officials of the central
government to which they are accred-
1ted. Consequently, under conditions
such as prevail in Manchuria, foreign
consuls generally carry their work on
much the same basis as personal affairs
are handled. New governments ordi-
rlarily are so anxious to get recognition
and to keep business going as usual
that they do not raise the question Of
consular credentials.

In Russia remained for nearly a year
under the Soviet regime In spite OF the
fact that the United States withheld

HOWARD i. FUNDS
Senator Costigan viii Fight
to Restore Money Cut by
Appropriations Body.

When the Senate takes up the items
for Howard University in the Interior
Department appropriation bill late to-
day or tomorrow, Senator Costigan,
Democrat, of Colorado, will fight to
restore some Of the funds cut out in
the House as we'll as part OF the reduc-
tion the Senate Appropriations Com
nittee ordered.
The Colorado Senator will ask the
Senate to raise the item for salaries
from the House figure of $45o,000 to
the House estimate of s475,000. He will
also move that the allowance for gen.
eral expenses be put up to the budget
figure of s275.o0e instead of the House
allowance of s225,00e. He will offer
another amendment to restore the
budget recommendation OF $460000 TO
construct heat, light and power plant
at the university. The House had
allowed $500, 900 for this, but the Senate
Committee cut it out entirely.
The Senate committee also struck
out the House item of 100000 toward
a library building at the university
Senator Costigan Is not offering an
amendment on this item. AS it came
from the Senate committee the total
for Howard University was reduced
from $l,075,000. allowed by the House
to S675,000 The Costigan amendments
would give the university a total for
the ccming fiscal year of S1.2lO,00O
which would still be under the total
recommended by the budget.
The Senate also may act this after
noon on the recommendation of the
Appropriations Committee in striking
fro.n the Interior bill the House linn
itations to prevent salary promotions
and to curtail the filling of vacancies
throughout the department. The Sem
ate already has eliminated these limita-
tions from the Agricultural appropria-
tion bill. which is ready to 60 to con-
ference with the House. The decision
finally reached by the conferees on the
Agricultural bill will be followed In the
