SENATE POSTPONES
D. c. RELIEF ACTION
Glass Banking Measure In
terrupts Consideration of
Deficiency Bill.

Although the Senate began consid-
Grafton today of the deficiency appro-
priation bill, which contains the S625, 900
item for continuing the unemployment
relief work of the District government,
final action on the bill was postponed
until tomorrow.
Under Senate procedure, the Glass
banking bill which was unfinished
business, came up automatically at 2
pm Leaders had hoped to pass the
deficiency bill during the first two
hours OF todays session and when 2
o'clock came Chairman Hale OF the
Appropriations Committee asked unan-
imous consent to Sidetrack the bank
ing measure temporarily so as to con-
tinue with the deficiency measure.
Senator Long tDemocra) Of LotSs-
lana objected, however. saying he
thought a future understanding could
be reached to let the deficiency bill
come up. Long is an opponent OF the
banking measure.
The deficiency bill has passed the
House and if the Senate disposes Of it
tomorrow there will remain only the
step of adjusting amendments in con-
ference.
The Senate Appropriations Commit
tee made no change in the District re-
lief item. but there are other changes
in the bill that must go to conference.
One of these is the item of $4,000
added by the Senate to defray expenses
of the inaugural ceremonies at the Cap
itol March 4.
As reported to the Senate yesterday
from the Appropriations Committee, the
bill contains a total of $31 .761 .535 for
deficiency needs of the entire Govern
ment service. The bill is in charge Of
Chairman Hale of the Appropriations
Committee.

BY the Associated Press
possibility that railroad workers
might strike to force shorter working
hours to spread employment, unless
Congress orders lessened laboring
periods, was asserted before the Senate
committee today by Arthur j. Lowell of
Cleveland. vice president of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Firemen and Engi-
neers.
He Endorsed the bill of Senator Black.
Democrat, of Alabama, for a five-day
week and six-hour day.
Suppose the courts held this bill I'M
constitutional" asked Chairman Nor
ris. DO you think it would be possible
for the men and their employers to
agree on any shortening of the work
day?"
Lowell said: THE situation would be-
come desperate with hundreds of thou
sands OF railroad men out of work.
When men are losing their homes, they
become desperate.
I'm not so sure they wouldn't find
recourse, In their economic stress,
through strikes. I would BE- reluctant
to resort to strikes. Legislation should
be enacted to provide such conditions
without warfare"

Eastern Jehol by Marshal Chang Hsiao-
Liang were considered by the Japanese
in territory belonging to the Japanese
sponsored state Of Manchukuo.
The war Office, therefore. considered
Japanese or Manchukuo troops as de
tenders" of the territory and justified
in taking any action against the ele-
ments "menacing the peace of Man
chukuo.
Japanese dispatches said the Chinese
troops in Jehol have been marching
eastward steadily several days, threat
ening to cut of the Japanese at
Shanhaikwan from their base at Chin
chow, about 100 miles to the northeast.
japanese also justified the seizure
Of Chiumenkow as a precaution against
encircling OF the Japanese trocos in
Shanhaikwan.
japanese military leaders expected
occupation of Chiumenkow. as well as
Shanhaikwan, would cut the four bri-
eades already in Jehol of from Marshal
Changs main forces south Of the wall.

"MISTAKE" In REPEAL
RESOLUTION CITED
Wording of Section Makes Same
Error That Produced Saloon,
Yale Professor Says.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW HAVEN, Conn, January 10
Prof. Yandell Henderson of Yale Uni
versity, who testified before a House
committee in favor of the Collier beer
bill. said yesterday the repeal resolu-
ton favored by the Senate Judiciary
Committee makes the same mistake
that produced the saloon"
Il believe the committee is right to
include protection of the dry States
and to try to prevent the return of
the saloon" he said in statement
But the wording of the third section
of the resolution as. adopted by the
Judiciary Committee again makes the
same mistake that produced the saloon
and that produced also the failure of
prohibition. 1t does not recognize
clearly those liquors that are highly
Intoxicating, namely. distilled spirits. in
contrast to those that practically are
not intoxicating
"If II years ago Congress had in
terpreted the eighteenth amendment to
forbid distilled spirits or hard liquors,
and nothing else, that form of prohi-
bition might have been accepted and
supported by the large majority.
In my opinion the third Section of the
resolution should read: Congress shall
have the concurrent power to regulate
or prohibit the sale of distilled spirits >

PAY CUT DEBATE
SLATED THIS WEEK
Bill Carrying Economy Pro-
gram Due to Come Up To-
morrow or Thursday.

Although there were indications early
today the Senate might begin consider
alton of the Treasury-Post Office ap-
preparation bill, which carries the gen.
eral economy program. late this after
noon it later developed that this meas
ure probably would not come up before
tomorrow or Thursday 1t is expected
the greater part of today will be taken
up by renewal of debate on the Glass
banking bill.
Within the past few days, a number
Of Senators. including Oddie of Nevada,
Borah of Idaho Davis of Pennsylvania,
Costigan of Colorado and Frazier of
North Dakota, have indicated opposi-
ton to an additional pay cut for Gov
eminent workers and lively debate is
anticipated before the question is
settled.
Second Issue Faces Fight.
The recommendations of the economy
group to give the incoming President
broader authority than now exists to
reorganize Government agencies also is
expected to lead to considerable dis
cussion on the floor
The existing law limits the President
to issuing executive orders only for the
consolidation or transfer of bureaus,
.
ing. alone. the right to stop a transfer
by passing simple resolution. Under
the bill to be considered today the
President could iSeue orders to abolish
bureaus as well as to transfer them,
and both branches of Congress would
have to adopt concurrent resolution
within 60 days to prevent such orders
from taking effect.
Senator Bingham said today that
latest computations indicate the econ
omy program as reported to the Senate
represents new net savings of approx
mately $4,000 900 over the House bill
In addition to the new pay cut, the
Senate committee recommended several
other additional economies.
The pay cut of 123 per cent. 1t is
estimated, would take $4,000, 900 from
Federal employees in addition to what
they are losing now through the fur
Tough plan.
Budget Balancing Factor.
Democratic congressional leaders ex-
pect the broad reorganization authority
given the President In the Treasury
Post Ofice bill to be major factor
toward Bringing the budget into bal
ance. A provision permitting appro-
priations for agencies abolished or con-
solidated to be impounded and returned
to the Treasury, is included in the
economy proposals.
The section. about which there has
been virtually no discussion, provides:
THE appropriations or portions of
appropriations unexpended by reason of
the operation of the title shall not be
used for any purpose. but shall be i'm
and returned to the Treasury"

a family lost their lives here early today.

Maude Hewitt. As, his wife; Cecil, jr.,
20, his son; Evelyn, Is, his daughter,
and Corinda Bowen, 25, Mrs. Hewitt S
sister
Cecil Hewitt, jr., senior pharmacy
student at the University of Maryland.
lost his life in an effort to rescue other
members of his family. The youth,
crippled most of his life from infantile
paralysis, was the first to awaken dur
ing the fire.
Barely able to walk without aid,
young Hewitt could have escaped with
his life, but elected to go back into the
flames and try to save the lives of his
father, mother and sister He was
suffocated by the flames
Miss Bowen was the sister of Willard
G. Bowen, an employe of the Washing
ton Railway & Electric Co. Washing
ton. Notified Of the death of his sister,
he came here from his home, at 1916 G
street northeast, Washington, this
morning ana look charge OF the body.
Boarder Injured.
A boarder at the Hewitt home, Miss
Nettie Young, so, saved herself by
jumping from second-story window.
She was taken to hospital suffering
from broken leg and minor burns.
The fire broke out on the first floor
and crept up the stairway, apparently
shutting off escape from the sleeping
inmates of the house.
All apparently had awakened, but
had failed to reach safety. Mr. and
Mrs. Hewitt, Cecil and Miss Bowen
were discovered by firemen huddled
together on the floor of the front, third
floor bed room. They appeared to have
tried to get to the window before they
were Suffocated.
Evelyn's body was found on the floor
on the second-story bed room. She was
the only one of the five whose body
was badly burned.
All Were Suffocated.
Firemen expressed the opinion that
all died of suffocation. Neighbors said
they had smelled smoke as early as
IL O'Clock last night, indicating that
the fire had smouldered some time be-
fore breaking out.
One of the women was reported by
dow and screamed, only to turn back
in what appeared an effort to save the
others.

JAPANESE SEIZE PASS,
Capture Of Chiumenkow Blocks Chi
nese Entry Into Jehol Province.


TOXIC, January 10 CP.-Japanese
cavalry and infantry units occupied
Chiumenkow Pass in the Great Wall
of China today, blocking a further pour
ing of Chinese troops through that
famous gate into Jehol
1t was the second stragetic position
taken by the japanese in a week to
block off China from the rich Mon
golian province and Illustrate Chinese
attempts to defend 1t against impending
invasion announced by japanese mill
tary commanders.
Occupation of the Chinese city of
Shanhaikwan just week ago by Jap
anese shut off the Eastern gate, only a
short distance from where the wall
comes down to the sea. Chiumenkow
is IL miles north of Shanhaikwan and
near where the 2,000year-old barrier
turns Westward.
Report No Resistance.
A communique from the Chinchow,
Manchuria, headquarters of the Nishl
division said a Japanese column. mostly
cavalry left Shanhaikwan early in the
morning and occupied Chiumenkow at
9:15 am. This confirmed a Rengo
(Japanese) news agency dispatch,
which said cavalry and infantry had
taken over the fertilization.
The communique said the Rising Sun
banner was hoisted over the walled
town after brief skirmish. The Rengo
dispatch said there was no resistance
although one Of the Chinese regiments
expelled from Shanhaikwan were re-
ported intrenched there.
The army communicate said "the
majority of the enemy retreated to
Shimenchai, 10 miles westward from
Chiumenkow, whereupon Japanese air
planes from Chinchow bombed Shim-
enchai
1t said heavy damage was believed
inflicted and that great confusion"
resulted from the raid.
Ten thousand Chinese troops were
reported already in Jehol province,
reaching there through Chiumenkow.
The war Office announced today that it
still lacked confirmation of reports that
japanese planes had passed over the
Jehol-Manchurian border and bombed
these troops, but admitted the reports
were probably true. Bombing of these
Chinese troops, last located about so
miles north of Shanhaikwan, was re-
ported to have occurred both last Fri
day and yesterday
Chinese In Jehol.
The war office said the matter was
within the Jurisdiction of Gen. Nobu-
yoshi Muto, Japan'S supreme represent
fative in Manchuria. and that he had
no reason to- report specially" to
