MONGOLIA new
ASIAIIC PRIZE.
Soviet Aspirations May
Bring New Overtures on
Debt to u. S.
BY JOHN r. NORRIS
United Press Staff Correspondent


NANKING, March 25.-(UP).
Deep in a tabled land of jade and
gold, once the heart of the worlds
greatest empire, a three-cornered
battle for control today promised
to bring a new Russian policy of
friendly overtures to the United
States.
Russia, according to semi-offi-
cial sources, is considering re-
opening the question of settlement
of debts owed the United States.
Further, she may breach negotia-
tions of trade agreement with
America, it was said.
Collapse of the debt discussions
stalemated all trade discussions
between the countries recently.
While United States purchases by
the Russian Trade Corporation
Amtorg continue, the total outlay
falls short of the tremendous sums
anticipated when official recogni.
ton was given the U. S. S. r. by
the United States.
Gradually. however, events in
Mongolia are shaping a destiny
that seems certain to influence
both this situation and European
affairs to a tremendous degree.
Russia repeatedly is preparing
to seek friendly aid of the United
States to enable her to carry or
her battle for Mongolia. In event
of European war, it was said
Russia feels she will have ample
worries in retaining her western
territories and desires the implied
support of the United States as q
deterrent to japanese encroach.

Outer Mongolia, with its ancient
trade routes and vast territory,

NEW NRA PLANS
| MARK LEFT SWING

WASHINGTON, Mar. %. (UP)
A new leftward swing was evident
today in President Roosevelt's APP
proach to the remaining congress
sional problems with the revela-
ton that the NRA's extension
plans will be a jar to big industry.
Four additional NRA bills have
been planned as follows:
1. To abolish electric power
holding companies;
2. A central bank" bill;
3. A federal authority supervis-
ing food and drugs;
4. Federal examination of rec
ords in the processing industries.
WASHINGTON, Mar. %. (UP)
The administration today had the
choice of accepting the billion dol
lar imitation "rider" to the work
relief bill or facing "unending de-
bate" on the New Deal project
when it comes back to the senate
for final approval.
This ultimatum came from Sen.
Elmer Thomas. D., Okla, leader
of currency expansiOnist forces
on Capitol Hill. He is the author
of the silver or initiation amend
ment to the $3.50, 5000 jobs
for-all measure approved by the
senate Saturday. by a vote of GO
to l6.
With Sen. Huey p. Long, d.,
La, poised at Columbia, S. c.,
preparing to dash to the capital
by airplane to continue his opposi-
ton toward the bill, party leaders
accepted the Thomas amendment
and other proposals and hastily
passed the measure.
They Immediately made plans to
eliminate the revisions objection
able to the administration when
the bill goes to conference with
the house. Fully aware of this
strategy the inflationists last night
were developing a counter-attack
on two lines:
They are: >,
/ A move to place the infla-
tionary amendment directly be-
fore the house for an independent
vote.
2. A determination to continue
limitless debate on the conference
report in the senate if the sllve"
proposal is rejected.
Thomas last night scoffed at the
strategy of the Democratic lead
ers and warned that he and his
colleagues would not be side
tracked so easily.

1t was dreadful thinking about
living to be hundred. All those
years without Scott. Dana looked
so crushed, such a woebegone lit
tie figure that Aunt Ellen could
scarcely bear too look at her.
Tears stung her eyelids. She Won
dered if the poor child knew what
she wa sabout. 1t was a serious
thing, leaving husband. Giving
up a sweetheart. Aunt Ellen knew.
SCOTS grandfather had been
proud and had never asked her to
reconsider, though he had loved
her deeply.
Nancy had decided: "Dana's
weak. She couldn't stand being
poor, so she pulled out"
Mrs. Cameron was first to break
the circle. She got up, pulling
her robe about her. "We'll all
take cold sitting her." she said
firmly. "Dana looks dead on her
feet. She mist get some sleep"
Secretly she was girding her
resources for battle, she SAID to
herself, "The silly child is still in
love with him. It's written all over
her face. If he tries he might be
able to persuade her to go back to
him. But she'll stay here if | can
keep her"
After breakfast Dana sat in the
vicinity of the telephone, fully
expecting it to ring. But the
morning hours wore away and
there was no call from Scott.
He was showing more Judgment,
Mrs. Cameron thought, than she
had expected. Maybe he, too, had
decided it was impossible for them
to make a success of their mar
