The trend was mixed at the

touched off in the steels as oper.
ations at Pittsburgh were sched-
uled for a further decline Of S

recession, which carried through
until the second hour, when sup
port was met and a rally from the

CHRYSLER STRONG
Chrysler was an independent
strong spot, reflecting the divi-
dend Of So a share voted on the

 PEIPING, Aug. 3l-The Japan csc army claimed smashing vic tories in it's campaign to open a highway into China's northwest ern provinces. Army spokesmen said the Japanese had completed their occupation of Nankow Pass strategic twelve mile gateway through the mountains northwest of Peiping to Chahar Province and other territories the Japanese strategists believe Japan must dominate. The battle for the Pass had ragged sixteen days. Nippon's militarists long have maintained they must hold Chahar and the rest of Inner Mongolia as vital fanking base in any war with the Soviet Union. Persisting in their claims of the capture of kalgan capital of Chahar about 125 miles northwest of Peiping, Japanese spokesmen admitted Chinese arm ies held about forty miles of the railway between Nankow and Kalgan.

prove it within the required time after

PENDANTS also charged that the SUBJ

MAN FOUND HELD
AMNESIA VICTIM
District Resident, Wearing Pa.
jamas Under Street Clothing,
Located in Baltimore.

Apparently suffering from amnesia,
Warren Thompson. 81, Of 1245 Neal
street NE, was taken to 4 police
station In Baltimore last night, wear
ing paiamas under his street clothes.
The man identified himself and told
police Of a. sister here, Mrs. T. w.

recalled the man as an acquaintance,
but said they had not seen him for
many years.

SESSION MILEAGE
UP TO CONGRESS
Specific Action Needed to
Reimburse Members for
Special Trip.

Will members Of Congress draw
mileage both for the special session
and the regular session starting n
January II they take . To-day ad-
journment over the Christmas holi-
days?
The answer rests with Congress
itself, since specific legislative action
will be necessary to authorize the
travel bill for the extra session.
1t was definitely established BY
ruling Of q controller of the Treasury
many years ago that regular mileage
appropriations are not available for
extra sessions. In the past it has
been customary when special sessions
were called to take specific action,
usually in the form of q resolution
making the mileage appropriation
for the next regular session imme-
diately available for the special ses-
sion.
Not Yet Presented.
Thus far the present session has
not taken up q mileage authorization,
although it has passed a resolution
to cover the pay Of the page boys,
whose compensation otherwise would
not have started until January 3.
1t may be that the economy drive
to balance the budget has set in. On
the other hand, if the lawmakers
should decide to remain in special
session right up to the convenine of
the regular session on January 3-re-
cessing only for Christmas Day-the
occasion for special mileage would not
arise. The odds, however, are de-
cidedly in favor of an adjournment
over the holiday period.
Might Postpone Action.
OF course, If the special session
should adjourn about December ~
there would be nothing to prevent Con-
gress from settling the mileage ques-
ton for the extra session in 4 de.
ficiency supply bill during the regular
session.
incidentally, the mileage bill for
session amounts to $51 900 for the
Senate, and $175,000 for the House.
The ruling that the regular annual
mileage appropriation is not avilable
for special sessions was made in 1893
by Acting Controller of the Treasury
j. R. Garrison in response to = re-
quest for an opinion from oficials Of
the House. He based the ruling on
the fact the mileage law Of 1866 re-
ferred to going to and returning from
each regular session"
Senator Donahey, Democrat of
Ohio. is one member who does not
believe Congress should quit work
during the Christmas holidays. II
Congress does what it should, he said
today, it will remain in session until
the regular meeting time in January
and try to complete its work for the
year early in the spring.
