SOUTHERNERS RETAIN GRIP
 AS COM. HEADS
Likely to Be Few Changes in Dominate Role
 of Democrats

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The grip held by the South for four years on important House and Senate Committee chairmanships seems likely to continue undiminished in the next Congress.
 To begin with, Vice President Garner of Texas presides over the Senate and Representative Bank head of Alabama, Speaker last ses- sion, seems likely to succeed.
 The habit of the South to go Democratic election after election has given tremendous seniority to the lawmakers it sends to Wash ington. Seniority, within the ma- jority party, of course, largely gov- erns in selection of committee chair men. At present 6outherners hold II of the 20-odd chairmanships in the Senate and IT of a slightly larger number in the House.
 Each new Congress selects it's own committees and chairmen, but the old heads retain their places

Supreme Court Bans Petition
To Halt Execution for ReuielU

The Supreme Court refused today
to save Bruno Richard Hauptmann
from the electric chair tomorrow
night.
Apparently the only hope Of the
convicted kidnap-murderer of the
Lindbergh Baby lies in possible re-
prieve by Gov. Harold G. Hoffman Of
New Jersey.
Hauptmann's petition for a writ of
habeas corpus and stay of execution
had been filed shortly after noon by
his attorneys. The decision to deny
it was agreed upon while the justices
ate their lunch, from 2 to 2:30 pm.
Chief Justice Hughes announced the
verdict to a hushed audience as soon
as the court convened, at 2:33 pm
three minutes late. Apparently the
discussion had extended overtime.
Execution Stay Denied, Too.
Court observers said the action, in
effect, included the petition for stay
of execution. The delay had been re-
quested in order to permit the court
to review the petition.
Only a moderate crowd was in the
court room when the black-robed JUS
tices filed in. An attorney arguing a
case before the court started to arise
to continue his speech, but was stopped
by Hughes.

"Just a moment"

refused a new trial to Maj. Robert C..
Kent, jr.. who was convicted of the
KIDNAPPING of Mrs Mary Jane Hast

The decision came after more than
a year of effort by counsel to upset
the jury conviction which followed a
sensational trial at Fincastle in 1884.
Kent was arrested in July of that
year after the discovery of the body Of
Mrs. Hastings near Stroudsburg, Pa.
Jurisdiction in the case was uncertain,
but he finally was brought to Bote-
tourt County for trial, not on mur-
der charge. but on an indictment
charging kidnapping. and was con-
victed.
Over his indignant protests Kent
was taken to the Southwestern State
Hospital last September.
Hospital doctors reported him sane

Official quarters in Washington are
not perturbed over Japan's bolting the
London Naval Conference. This
course Of action of the Japanese gov
ernment had been discounted for
several months and the American dele
CATION went to London with but little
hope that Japan would accept the
maintenance of the ratios established
in the agreement Of 1921.
The withdrawal of the japanese
from the London conference puts an
end to the existing limitation agree
ments beginning January /. 1887.
The natural implication of this fact
is that Great Britain, the United
States and Japan will be free, after
that date, to build new ships of al
types. 1t also means. technically. that
the United States will be free to fortify
its present naval bases in the Western
Pacific.
No Immediate Action Seen.
Official quarters believe, however
that this will not occur Immediately
after the termination of the Washing
ton and London naval agreements o.
1921 and 1880.
The Japanese, 1t is believed here
are not anxious to start building UP
to parity with the United States
They have the right to do so, and this
will enhance the prestige of the
japanese militarists with their own
people, but it is doubtful that they
will exercise this newly acquired right
On the other hand, high officials
here cannot see any good reason Il
begin the fortiflcation of the naval
bases in the Western Pacific. A SUBJ
stantial improvement in the defenses
of Manila and Guam might have
been a desirable thing at the time
when the Washington conference was
called, but with the Philippine Island:
becoming independent it is considered
here that any expenditure in the
Western Pacific is superfCouS. A
