-FOUR D. c. BILLS
PASSED IN HOUSE
Measures of Minor Impor.
tance Are First of 10 to
Be Presented.

Four District bills, regarded as
minor in character, were passed in
rapid succession by the House today,
as it began consideration of the Dis
trict calendar.
It Is the first District day Of the
current session and Chairman Norton
of the District Committee hopes to
dispose of all but one of the 10 bills
on the calendar. The one not to be
called up would revive the wartime
Rent Commission.
Three of the four measures passed
all without debate-would authorize
the issuance of licenses for practice
of the healing art to Drs. PAX Chue
Chan, Arthur B. Walker and Ronald
A. Cox. The other would authorize
the Health Department to open graves
without congressional approval, as
now required.
Consideration of the District calen-
dar was delayed about an hour due to
move by Representative Patman,
Democrat. Of Texas, to discharge the
Ways and Means Committee from
further consideration of his infiation-
airy bonus bill.
Rapid consideration of other District
bills also was halted later, when Chair
man Norton granted Representative
Blanton, Democrat, Of Texas, 80 min.
utes to discuss the Lindbergh case dur
ing which he criticized Gov. Hoffman
of New Jersey for treatening the arrest
of DR.. j. F. Condor.

would fight certain features in bill

LONDON, January 13.-Informed
sources affirmed tonight that the
British government is ready to go
ahead with oil and other raw material
sanctions against Italy If there Is
collective agreement at the League OF
Nations Council meeting January 20.
The disclosure followed upon long
meeting of cabinet ministers charged
with the empires defense and army,
navy and air force officials.
A meeting of the full cabinet will
be held probably Wednesday, but
responsible quarters said cabinet con-
sideration of oil sanctions will be
largely a formality, and that Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden will 60 to
Geneva ready to pledge unwavering
British support with other League
members in further sanctions.

ouirements Committee with Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin was the first

Postmaster General Farley originally
fixed everything for Philadelphia.
After the A. A. A. decision, he devel-
oped q sentimental attachment for
Chicago and fixed that. This caused
Senator Guffey to tear his hair, also
to wheedle more money from Phila-
delphia hackers. At the last minute
it was apparent that Philadelphia
extra $4,000 had overwhelmed Mr..
Farley's sentimental fixing for the
Windy City
That Is why the vote was delayed.
The leaders were called into q huddle
to change signals. After Is minutes
consultation, the third fixing Of Phila-
delphia was made to stick. Mr.. Farley
was thus able to say he had been for
Philadelphia all the time.

- Become Mud Holes.

BY the Associated Press.
Fascist invaders of Ethiopia, their
campaigns hampered by weather op-
posites on two main frontiers, were
reported today pushing aerial attacks
on Southwestern river valley settle
ments.
A neutral observer who flew back
to Adds Ababa after a visit to Ras
Desta Demtu's camp said the italian
air souadrons bomb the courses OF
the webbe Shiben and the Ganale
Doria daily between Z and am.
Troop movements in the North
have been hindered by driving early
rains, which have turned Italian-con-
structed roads into mud holes or have
washed them away. Lack of water in
the terrific heat Of the desert South
together with malarial fevers also
have complicated the invaders drives.
f. Six Lose Lives at Negele.
" The most severe of the consistent
eir raids claimed six lives at Negele,
1s0 miles northwest of Dolo, fort

Forty others were wounded in the rain

Four British ships steamed south

" The battleship Nelson, flying the
flag of Admiral Sir Roger Backhouse,

- Eden Recommendations.
London government sources anti
cipated that Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden will lay his recommenda-
tions for British action d possible
oil sanctions before the cabinet,
probably on Wednesday.
The British course appeared likely
to hinge on whether Eden and sane

wasn't enough work for her to do.
She cried on the other girls shoulder

Will Randolph Scott Give Up
Career for Heiress-Bride?

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 26.-A r e
the Randolph Scots drifting?
inquire the columnists. The
answer Is that the Virginia So
cia1ite arrived here Wednesday to
spend the Christmas holidays with
her husband.
Determined to prevent their
marriage from "going Hollywood, "
Randolph Scott and his heireSs
bride, the former Mariona Dupont
Somerville have revealed to
friends that they are reaching a
domestic compromise.
In advance of Randy'S return
from q lengthy visit in the East
to go into High, Wide and Hand
some" it was learned that the
newlyweds are trying to work out
an arrangement satisfactory to
both, but which will not interfere
with the young leading mans
career.
Scott. who has always led his
own life in the film capitol, has
no intention of introducing his
bride to Hollywood's social whirl,
friends of the couple say.
The main point of discussion,
they indicate, Is whether Mrs.
