FRANCE TO ALTER

Continuation of Doumergue
Cabinet Is Virtually AS
sured Also.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NANTES. France, October 27-Re-
form of the French constitution was
virtually assured today, and likewise
the continuation Of Premier CASTOR
Doumergue's political truce" cabinet.
Edouard Herriot, head of the power
full Radical Socialist party, averted a
possible cabinet rupture by swinging
his party over to support Doumergue,
but he did 1t with a personal pledge
that he would resist any government
changes likely to lead to a dictator
ship"
The Congress voted overwhelmingly
to continue support of Doumergue,
which it had threatened to withdraw
over the issue Of giving to the premier
power to decide constitutional re-
form.
Compromises Seen.
The opposition to dictatorship" ap-
peared likely to result in the long run
in a series Of compromises. The pre-
mier is determined to remodel the
constitution. giving wider powers to
his ofice, the Radical Socialists have
been reluctant to ccncede such powers.
The French constitution has been
patched but three times in the last
40 years.
A national assembly-the Chamber
of Deputies and the Senate sitting to-
gether at Versailles-was expected to
be called shortly to consider three pro-
poSals advanced By the premier:
/. Make it easier for the President
to dissolve the Chamber.
Greater Authority Sought.
2 Make the premier a real boss
by giving him greater authority over
the other cabinet members.
8. Strip the Chamber Of the right
to propose appropriations and reserve
that power for the government.
Calling of the national assembly to
strengthen executive powers is pre-
sented to the people as Frances answer
to the threat of dictatorial govern
ments surrounding her.

tianing information about foods likely
to yield the most benefit.
When late in June. DR.. Poulter made
ready for tractor trip to the advance
base to make meteorological observa-
tions. Admiral Byrd had already come
up great way. He felt then that he
could last out the Winter If he did
not have relapse. But again in
July, during the period Of the greatest
cold, he started downhill. The setback,
he said. was nowhere as severe as the
one in June, though the racking pains
rarely let up.
The worst thing during this period
was missing radio contact with the
base camp at intervals. Sometimes
he lacked the strength to crank the
hand generator and at other times
the set. with which he was unfamiliar,
gave him much difficulty. He dreaded
losing contact with us for fear that
his silence would reveal his distress.
Sometimes, he said, he could hear
Little America calling when he could
not reply.
Finally your correspondent became
suspicious and kept hammering at him
for report on his health. Admiral
Byrd found 1t increasingly difficult to
turn the questions aside. On his re-
turn he was asked why he did not
reveal his distress in July, when the
tractor party, already halfway to the
advance base, was obediently turning
back in compliance with his instruc-
tions. He shrugged his shoulders.
How could ~" he asked. Would
you?"
Admiral Byrd has now quietly re-
sumed control Of the expeditions
operations. He has moved into the old
quarters in the Administration Build
ing. which he occupied during his first
year in the Antarctic.
Although his strength has come up
great way since the critical period
in June. he said he still did not feel
altogether up to scratch and he will
husband his resources tor while.

PALESTINE CITIZENS
ALPHABET is UPHELD
Haverford Professor Says An

Archaeological Research.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 27.-New
light on the question whether the
dwellers in ancient Palestine could
write was shed today by DR.. Elihu
Grant. professor of Biblical literature
at Haverford College in Pennsylvania.
Asked about statements by an asso-
ciate that in 1880 he had found in
scriptions in an alphabet since dis
covered by a British expedition and
hailed as proof that the Hebrews of
Biblical times could write, DR.. Grant
said, That's all correct"
He wasn't particularly interested in
the question, however, since he re-
garded his discoveries in ancient
writings as lucky accidents in his real
task Of making complete archae-
illogical record Of Biblical times.
