 The improvement In the health of the baby through feeding cone trol has been, on the whole quite appreciated by most of all people especially the modern mother. The prevention of other diseases is rap- idly becoming almost as widespreadI To-day there is no excuse for c case of smallpox and fortunately these cases have been extremely rare in the past twenty years or SO in those centers where vaccination is carried out rouintely. There are still some states where vaccination is not carried out extensively and In those states the health records will show a considerable number of cases of smallpox.

The two nations felt the European
Neutrality Committee should continue
to deal unhampered with the civil
war crisis. League circles declared.
The Spanish Socialist government
asked the League Council yesterday
to consider what it termed a menace
to world peace created by Italo-
German recognition Of the insurgent
Fascists now besieging Madrid.
The League Council would meet in
Geneva early in December to con-
slider a course of action unless Franco.
British pressure succeeded in allow
ing the European Committee to handle

At best, League sources said, the
Council would pass resolution de-

then turn back to the Neutrality Com

Whether Germany should be invited

a result there are few delays in getting

Shift to Be Made.
In an attempt to get early con-
sideration of the joint resolution to
give the District national representa-
ton, Mrs. Norton plans to ask Speaker
Bankhead to refer the measure to
her committee, rather than the
Judiciary Committee where it failed
to receive hearing at the last session
Of Congress.
IT am confident If we can get the
bill in our committee" she declared,
hearings will be held and a favor
able report will be made to the
House And I am equally confident
the House will adopt the resolution
when it is called up"
Mrs Norton indicated the bill to
kill the effect of the red rider"
would be framed differently from the
one which Representative Sisson,
Democrat, of New York, sponsored at
the last session. 1t will not call for
outright repeal, as did the Sisson
measure, she intimated but will ac-
complish the same purpose

the issues raised in the campaign
against Sisson was that he wanted to

Il am afraid" she declared, "that
because of SiSSon'S defeat, many men,
bers of the House will not vote for
the bill in the form it was originally
introduced. The purpose that his bill
would have accomplished, can be
gained in another way without COM
munism being made an issue. That is
what will be done when Congress
convenes, and I am certain the red
rider will lose its potency"
Mrs. Norton said no decision has
been reached yet as to the sponsors of
the bill to destroy the effect of the
red rider" or the bill to legalize
horse racing. Both Of these questions.
she declared, would be considered at
the first meeting of her committee.

The captain characterized Sir
Thomas Inskip's plan to protect Lon

from balloons as "unworkable.
You couldn't get the nets high

land keeping balloons filled with gas

to break any nation that tried it.
In planning the defense of city
there is one important point to be
considered and I don't see, yet, what
all the consideration in the world can
develop against it. This is the devel-
opment in blind flying.
In the old days fog was the de-
tenders friend. Today it is his dead

prevent a bomber from flying to an
indicated spot on the map and drop
ping shells on it. But not all the blind
flying instruments in the world will
enable defending planes to find an in

however, it would appear to be almost
both Houses of Congress to which the
President is opposed.
The Democratic leadership in the
Senate probably will be unchanged
with Senator Robinson of Arkansas
as the majority leader. In the House
it is expected that Representative
Bankhead will be reelected Speaker.
The fight there is for the floor lead
ership, with O'Connor of New York.
Rankin of Mississippi and Rayburn
of Texas the principal contenders.
Mead, also of New York, has been put
forward, possibly as compromise
candidate. O'Connor, who has been
chairman of the Rules Committee,
seems to be in line for the post. He
was acting floor leader in the House
in the last session, following the death
of Speaker Byrns.
Senator Harrison, chairman of the
Finance Committee, stands fast in
his declaration that new taxes will
not be imposed in the coming session
of Congress. There may be minor
amendments to the corporate surplus
tax law, and an effort made at tax
law revisions, if his committee finds
such revision necessary. He expects
to get his Joint Committee on Tax
Revision together III Washington in
December. He is also quoted as say
ing that there may be some amend
ments to the social security act. He
has set himself against an amend
ment which would relieve wage earn
ers of the payroll tax for old-age
pensions, however.
The subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee will begin
work early in December on some of the
major appropria ton bills which are
to come before Congress. They will
have before them the budget figures,
which later will be submitted to Con-
gress by the President. Buchanan of
Texas, chairman of the Appropria-
tons Committee, has declared there
must be pairing down of appropria-
tions. His committee will have the
first whack at this work.
Among the most interesting of all
the matters which are to come up in
Congress is the question of relief. The
President has indicated that the ad-
ministration will need an early appro-
priation of S5,000,O0O or $4,000 900 to
carry on relief work for the present
fiscal year. What is to be done for
Works Progress Administration and
Public Works Administration and in
what proportions still is to be deter
mined.
Congress is to meet on Tuesday, jan
uary 5, under a special resolution
adopted at the last session Under
the lame duck" Constitutional
amendment, Congress is directed to
meet on January each year. How
ever the Sd this year falls on Sum-
day. Since it was not advisable to
meet on Sunday, the old Congress
picked Tuesday, instead of Monday,

ASTURIAN MINERS ADVANCE.

Towns Captured.
GIJON, Spain, November 28 (R.-
The government announced today in
an official communique that q strong
offensive, in which dynamating OF
Asturian mines played a major role,
had been launched on the northern
city of Oviedo, in Asturias province.
The general attack on the insurgent
stronghold, the government said. met
with immediate success and resulted
in the capture Of three towns in the
outlying Oviedo district, with heavy
losses to the Fascist defenders.
"Our forces have started a strong
offensive" the communique stated.
I'm the Trubia sector they occupied
Valdupo and Monte de la PARA. In
Grullos they took Monte Cinero, which
was later abandoned because Of heavy
insurgent concentrations. In Collot,
government forces arrived as far as
Ventanielles. The enemy losses were
high"
1t was understood that Col Arranda,
insurgent commander in the Oviedo
sector, had made an urgent appeal for
reinforcements.
tFrench reports said that the Astu-
rian miners had dynamited the i'm
portant bridgehead at Valdupo, break
ing communication between Oviedo
and Col. Arranda's headquarters at
Grado to the west.
(These reports said that the Oviedo
garrison was not strong enough to re-
sist a determined government assault)
The official war bulletin claimed that
the insurgent attack on Madrid was
being demoralized.

the administration plenty to think
about. New neutrality legislation

tor Nye of North Dakota as a prime

ly does he wish to make cuts in So
called emergency agencies of the
Government which We're, set up to
meet the unemployment situation. 1t
Is one thing, however, to build up
Government agencies and Govern
ment spending and quite another to
cut them down. Members of Con-

friends on the pay roll are likely
the job. Nevertheless. there is like
lihood of a determined effort to re-

The President, in the light of his
overwhelming victory at the polls,
should have a comparatively easy
time in getting favorable action on
his recommendations to Congress. He
may, however, have difficulty in check
ing moves of some groups in Con-
gress. The Democratic majority in
