Bills Pressed BY

While House leaders were exult-
ing over cleaning up of big Ad-
miniStration measures for the ses-
sion, progreSSives today opened
drive to block adjournment until
other legislation is acted upon.
Nearly 100 House members had
signed round--obin petitions to OPP
pose adjournment until the Fra
zier-Lemke, soldiers bonus. rail-
road retirement, 30.hour week, and
other bills are considered.
Having at two previous ses-
sions forced through bills at the
last minute which were frowned
upon by the Administration, the
'irregulars" were hopeful of SINH
lar achievements in this session.
Started BY Monaghan
Representative Monaghan CD
of Montana, youthful liberal, in
augurated the new petition seek
ing to block early adjournment.
Mr.. Monaghan said:
1--WE have just started the
petition, but we are getting sup
port rapidly"
He asserted that more than IS
members signed in the first few
hours after circulation was be-
gun, and that the movement is
now backed by at least 100 mem
bers.
The Frazier-Lemke three-thou-
sand million dollar farm mort
gage refinancing bill, on which
Senator Borah (RO of Idaho
demands action in the Senate,
is opposed by Democratic leaders
of the House.
With 216 signatures to a petit
ton necessary to force vote,
the petition had been reduced to
203 names by opposition of the
leadership. While 221 members
have signed the petition, with
drawalS have offset signatures
each time victory appeared near
for hackers.
Sign Bonus Plea
The Patman soldiers bonus
bill. passed by the House once
this session, is the subject OF
another petition on the speakers
desk. A total of 1853 members
have signed it.
Representative Lundeen F.-L)
of Minnesota said the progress
sive bloc" would fight adjourn
ment until the soldiers bonus,
Frazier-Lemke, social security and
other bills have been disposed OF.
He declared:
There is substantial support
for the movement to halt ad-
jOurnment. The weather soon
will be getting cooler, and we
have an air-cOOled chamber in
which to do business"
Democratic House leaders may
invoke three-day receSSes, after
the fate of the Guffey-Snyder coal
bill has been decided and a few
other measures have been passed,
in order to block demands for
action on bills not favored by the
Administration.
Leaders Claim Control
The leaders believed they could
control the situation. They hold
the House is overwhelmingly in
favor of adjournment at the earli-
est date.
Their success in preventing
completion of the petition on the
Frazier-Lemke bill. which has
wide backing. has encouraged
them in the belief they can pre-
vent passage Of anti-Administra-
ton bills.
While agitation for the 30-hour
work week bill of Representative
Connery CD of Massachusetts,
has not been rabid. many hackers
of the measure also demand a
vote before adjournment.

careers of beautiful Jayne Man.
nerS, blonde New York actress,

The Mexican court, it was
learned, gave Miss Manners a de

but then quickly gave Mr.. KuSell
a decree on grounds of mental
cruelty.
Last June Mr.. Kusell obtained
an interlocutory decree here on a
charge that his actress wife had
stabbed him during quarrel. This
was later set aside and in Septem.
ber Miss Manners obtained an
interlocutory decree.
Although both denied romantic
affairs are in the offing, they
agreed the Mexican divorce was
sought because they did not wish
to wait a year for a final decree,
as required by, California law.

NEW QUAKE

Minor Shocks Are Felt
In Canada Today;
Others Likely

with no temblors reported In
the Eastern area during the night,
Washington in all probability win
escapa further earth shocks, al
though another disturbance prob
ably will be felt in Canada within
I As hours.
This was the report early today
by Capt. H. N. Heck, chief Of
Terrestrial Magnetism and Seis-
moiogy, United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey.
The chances are 100 to / against
further disturbances IN the Wash.
ington area. Captain Heck said
after q study of charts and graphs
made during the night.
Damage Unlikely
He based his prediction on the
general trend Of past earthquakes,
Captain Heck said. The prob
ability is, he said, that Washing
ton today is outside the circle
encompaSsed in the shock area.
There is always some slight
adjustment in the earth after a
major shock" Captain Heck ex-
planned, "and we look for a minor
shakeup in the Canadian area
within 48 hours. Even this, how
ever, is not certain.
Circumference Cut.
It Is rare that terrestrial dis
turbanceS reach out in the same
distance as encircled in the first
shock, Captain Heck explained.
According to this theory, he said,
the Canadian disturbance today
will be greatly leSsened in cir
cumference, thus not reaching as
far as Washington.
There Is a good example of
how quakes taper off in the cur.

Captain Heck said. There we
had the first shock October 18
and since that time the circle OF
disturbance has been greatly re

Active discussions between the

designed to improve economic re
lations between the two countries
have been dropped by this Gov
ernment as q direct result Of
Premier MuSsolini's action in re

Furthermore, the discussions
are not likely to be resumed as
