Leaders of the w. c. T. U. are now
talking about forming a third polit-
ical party-or that is, something apart
from the national Republican and
Democratic parties. Finding that the
Republicans are about as wet as the
Democrats they have likely become
disguised with the Grand Old Party
to which it appears they have been
much attached in the past. The Re-
publicans have played up to the drys
a little better than the Democrats
and in so doing have gotten their
votes to good advantage, but the
awakening seems to be coming to
the front now.

the farm relief bill after failing to
obtain unanimous consent for a ballot
Their original plans upset by objec-
tions by Representative Smell Of New
York, the Republican leader, they turned

They had expected to instruct the
committee Of Senators and Represents
tives that will be named to harmonic
differences between the measures passed
by the two houses, to approve the cur
rency expansion measure and leave
only the other amendments to be agreed
upon in conference.
Smell demanded that two days Of de-
bate be granted on the bill and that
the House consider it under the five
minute rule, which would permit amend
ments.

House for the Rules Committee to have

Gratis plan to compel the imitation vote

After several minutes Of debate over

The parliamentary situation was q
delicate one. The Senate approved the
entire farm relief-inflation program
Friday. The House acted several weeks

is necessary to agree on changes.

EMERGENCY RELIEF
PASSED BY SENATE
District Would Share With
States in $50O,000,0 900
Fund if Bill Little Changed.

The Nationwide emergency relief bill,
under which the Federal Government
would aid the States and the District
of Columbia in meeting distress due to
present economic conditions, passed the
Senate this afternoon with only a few
minor changes from the form In which
it was approved by the House.
The measure makes available $780,
00O, 900 to be distributed to the States,
Territories and the District Of Colum-
bia by a Federal relief administrator.
OF the total fund, $250,000,00 would
be allocated in proportion to the amount
spent locally by each jurisdiction. The
remaining $3.50 100000 would be dis
tributed where the need Is greatest upon
a showing by State authorities that
funds from all other sources are still
inadequate.
Under the first portion of the bill,
each Jurisdiction would be entitled to
receive Immediately following enact
ment Of the measure a grant equal to
one-third of the public money spent
locally during the last three months.
In the case of Washington this imme-
diate grant from the Federal Govern
ment would amount to between $125 900
and $15O,000 and would come at a
time when it is urgently needed to take
care Of the large number of families in
need of emergency aid at this time.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New
York, steered the bill through the Sen
ate without a roll call vote. There was
only brief debate which related only
to the amount Of salary that should
be paid the Federal relief administrator
and whether the employees to administer
the act should be employed from Civil
Service.
The bill now goes back to the House,
which may either accept the Senate
amendments or ask for q conference.

POWER
LIMITED BY GROUP
Appropriations Subcommittee
Retains Only Transporta-
ton in Contract List.

President Roosevelt's request for au-
thority to cancel or reduce all Govern
ment contracts has been curtailed
sharply by a House Appropriations
Subcommittee to apply only to trans
portation contracts.
The full committee meets tomorrow
to consider the authority, which wos
one OF the legislative provisions con-
tanned in budget estimates ;o- the IN
dependent Offices appropriation bill
The text giving the President author
ity over contracts is understood to be
limited to air, ocean and railroad mail
contracts.
This action excluded public building
contracts already made.
Furthermore, it eliminated any sug-
geStion that the power over contracts
would be used to modify the promise
to pay In gold which Is contained in
all Government bonds.
Administration Agrees.
One member of the committee ex-
planned that the change was made in
agreement with the administration,
which had intended to use the authority
only on transportation contracts.
Other changes included selective, in
Government employees with 80 years OF
service at the discretion of the Presi-
dent and provision for e-employment
Of such retired employees when in the
interests of economy and efficiency in
the Government service.
The committee has followed the rec
ommendation Of the Budget Bureau re-
garding furloughing of 5000 to 1000
Army officers at half pay.
The budget proposal authorizing the
President to reduce the flying pay Of
the Army, Navy and Marine Corps i
followed. with a limitation of $1.440.
Under the present law flying officers
draw so per cent Of their pay while
on actual flying duty, in addition tc
their regular pay. Under the new
proposal they would draw flying pay
equivalent to so per cent Of their base
pay, but only up to the limit Of $1,44C
a year. The proposal thus would mean
loss of flight pay to all but junior
officers, the amount of loss increasing
heavily in the higher ranks.
Plans Minority Report
Representative Bacon, Republican, OF
New York, has intimated that he will
file a minority report.
If unanimous consent Is given in the
House, general debate on this bill will
start in the House tomorrow afternoon
Chairman Buchanan and other men,
bers of the Appropriation Committee
are to appear before the Rules Com
mittee seeking a special rule to make
consideration Of the legislative riders
in order on this appropriation bill.
Under that rule the House will take

BRITAIN TO DEFEND
RIGHTSIN MANCHUKU0
Open Door Principle Will Be Pre-

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May Acting Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin told the House
Of Commons today that Britain would
take any step open to it to defend the
principle of the open door in Man
churia If it became necessary to defend
that principle.
His statement arose from query
about whether the governments atten-
ton had been called to "a declaration
recently made by Tetsuzko Komai,
japanese member of the Manchukuo
Privy Council, that the new Manchukuo
tariff would be based on reciprocity with
Japan and that Manchukuo's trade door
would not remain open to states which
have withheld recognition Of her status" !"
Mr.. Baldwin said that he had seen
the press report to that effect.
1.-The statement reported" he con-
tinued, "is obviously in complete con-
tradiction with the repeated declara-
ton Of the Japanese government and
of the present administration author
tiles in Manchuria.
Preservation of the open door is pro-
vided for by treaty. If it should appear
that they repudiate their intention, the
government will take any step open to
them to defend the principle in ques-
ton.
But have no information to show
that this Is the case and find 1t
difficult to credit any such thing in
view of the assurances to which have
referred"

May day, traditionally the occasion
for radical demonstrations, was most
widely celebrated today in two great
dissimilar nations-in Russia, where
the Communists are all-powerful. and
in Germany, where the Communists are
most hated.
For the most part, the United States
was quiet. Bombings in the heart OF
Chicagos business district caused heavy
damage-one estimate was s50,ooo-but
there were no casualties.

$4,000 and $4,000 troops, paradeo
through Moscow's Red Square, Whsre
they were reviewed by the highest ON

the heaviest military tanks they ever
had seen in Russia. After the troops
came hundreds of thousands of prole-

German May day from radical festl-
val to a great celebration honorlng tne
German working man and the part
he is playing in building up the strong
" nationalist state.
The Berlin celebration centered IN
the Lustgarten, traditionally the prop
erty of Communists on this day, where
in the past there have been many
bloody clashes between demonstrators
and the police.
In Madrid, police fired into the air
several times to break up demonstra-
tion by 1000 Communists before the
ministry Of war. A few persons were
injured.
Vienna Under Guard.
Vienna saw a great military SHOW OF
strength by the new dictatorial DollfuSs
regime. Streets were strung with
barbed wire and machine guns were
mounted at strategic points. Some z00
persons were arrested.
In Paris, extremists for the first time
since the war were allowed to hold an
open-air May day assembly. Ihey
pledged they would confine themselves
to oral violence.

resulted in a double celebration, WIN
