Committee, def1ed legislative custom
today as he pushed for passage of his
joint resolution to add $4,000, 900 to

Senator Copeland asserted it was
not mandatory under the ConStitu-

in the House.
'If any one wants to get mad about
this procedure" he added, 81 guess
they can. but I don't think there will
be any objection, since the bill con-

The late Speaker Byrns has
lost a wager he can never pay,
and strangely enough his sudden
death Is partly responsible FOR
the loss.
About a month ago. Bryns and
House Minority Leader Smell
wagered q 25-cent cigar on the
adjournment date of the present
session of Congress. The late
Speaker bet the Seventy-fourth
Congress would be at an end be-
fore the Republican National
Convention, which opens Tues
day in Cleveland.
Byrns might have won had not
he died. But his death and other
unexpected developments at the
Capitol, which virtually halted
legislative machinery, will keep
Congress in session for several
more weeks at least.

with Kwangsi makes up South China,
as saying:
The Southwest political council on
June 2 urged Nanking to launch a war
of resistance against Japan and asked

against these invaders.
"The people here want anti-Japan-
ese resistance. and the Kwangtung
army will attempt to fulfill their de-

His statement and statements Of
other South China leaders were con-

1t was believed here that Canton.
which marched troops northward, now
has completed its gesture designed to
embarrass Nanking In the face of
Japan.
1t was felt the south would not
take further measures pending some
move by Marking.
One result of today's apparent
easing of the tension in South China
Is that the Canton monetary crisis,
IN which their dollars slumped badly,
has eased and the exchange rate has
