Raleigh, Oct. 25. = Congressman
Frank Hancock is going to he at
tackled with two-edged sword in his
campaign against Robert r. Reynolds
for the United States Senate, by rea-
son of the fact that the fifth district
man lives east of that imaginary line
which for years has been the subject
of a political gentlemans agreement,
though there are those who contend
there are no gentlemen" in politics to
agree.
In the west, Reynolds supporters
will argue that their section is en-
titled to the Senate seat by reason of
the fact that the other senator, Josiah
w. Bailey, is an easterner.
In the east, hackers of "Our Bob
will assert. that it would be nothing
short of political suicide for the east
to break the long-standing covenant.
They will point to facts and figures
proving that the great bulk of Dem
ocratic voters live in the West, and
will draw therefrom the quite logical
conclusion that once the east-west
is tossed into the ash can the East
can never again expect to produce
the hOlOoI VI d IIldJOI OlllCc.
That these two arguments will be
advanced with fervor and frequency
has been made abundantly clear thus
early in the game.
Of course, the Hancock henchmer
will slyly point out to the western
ers that it might he fine thing tc
get rid of an agreement which works
to their Disadvantage
And down east they can, with more
than a modicum of persuaviseness
call on the rank and file to rally to
the cause of one from their owr
bailiwick.
And so the Hancock forces vii
have double-headed defense to
double-fisted attack, It will be run te

Controversial Anti-Lynch-
ing Bill Would Have To Be

LEGISLATION Would Have

Washington, Oct. 25 (AP)-Admin-
istration leaders may propose limiting
legislation in the special session OF
Congress to President Roosevelt's five
point program, informed persons said
today.
This would require adoption of a re-
solution by the House and Senate.
Whether the leaders decide to go
ahead with it may depend on senti-
ment of the rank and file of the mem
berS
The idea behind the proposal is
that enactment of the administrations
program might be completed in the
session beginning November Is if all
other subjects were held over to the
regular session in January.
The principal effect of limiting the
session to the administration program
would be displacement of the contro-
versial anti-lynching bill from second
place on the Senate calendar. 1t prob
ably also would postpone enactment
of new taxes to pay for crop control

General Aralxi, who was Japan's

He advocated stern military

There are two principal causes

"The first comes from Chinese
