BOSTON, Oct. is G.N.S0-"The
Congress of lost opportunities"
was the satirical appellation ap-
piled today to the recently con-
cluded session of the national
legislature by Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge (RO of Massachusetts.
Speaking before the Traffic
Club of New England, Senator
Lodge drew this picture of the
sessions accomplishments:
No relief for the small business

ture.
No remedy in the laws concern

CINCINNATI, Oct. IS GN.S0.
Vesting the presiding bishop with
greater powers, the Protestant
Episcopal Church, in general con-
vention here, today prepared to
elect the high official. It ap-
peared likely that Rt. Rev. De
Wolf Perry, bishop of Rhode
Island, would be reelected presid-
ing bishop, although there were
several others under consideration.
Concurrence by the House of
Deputies with actions of the
House of Bishops means the con-
vention will name the presiding
bishop president of the National
Council. He now is chairman, an
other bishop being president.
MAY NAME COADJUTOR
The change will make the pre-
siding bishop responsible for" ad-
ministration of missionary, educa-
tional and social welfare work of
the church as we'll as it's spiritual
leader.
To allow the presiding bishop
to carry on his new duties eff
ficiently, the convention may
name bishop coadjutor, this
freeing the bishop of diocesan
duties.
Only differences remaining be-
tween the two houses were the age
limit and tenure of office.
The bishops voted that the pre-
siding bishops term should run
from his election to the January /
following the general convention
which follows his attainment of
the age of 10. The deputies re-
duced the age to SO.
KANSAS CITY CHOSEN
If the bishops concur and the
Rt. Rev. Perry is reelected, it will
mean he will serve three years
instead of six. The convention
following his attainment will be in
1943, The one following his at
taiument of SO would be in 1910.
Meanwhile the convention
selected Kansas City as the 1910
convention city. Baltimore,
Memphis and Houston also had
sought the convention.
In another surprise move. the
House of Deputies voted there
should be two vice presidents of
the National Council to assist the
presiding bishop in executive
duties.

Mcclellan, ranking member OF

President Roosevelt's government

way for a balanced budget. He
added:

BID OF A. F. l..
Cautious Wire Sent
By Lewis Group

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct.
IS U.N.SO.-The Committee for
Industrial Organization by unani-
nous vote today replied to the
American Federation of Labor's
executive committee with a new
peace offer.
The C. I. o. offered to send a
committee of 10 to meet with a
committee of 10 from the A. F. of
L. the week of October Is in
Washington for a preliminary
conference which would work out
details of a further full meeting,
and the number that would attend
that meeting.
STUDY FARLEY CALL
But, meanwhile, apparently not
convinced of the sincerity OF the
A, F. of LIS executive committee,
the C. I. o. began considering
resolution to call a national con-
vention to consolidate its nearly
100000 members.
During discussion of this reso-
luton, John L. Lewis, head OF the
c. I. O., called upon Phillip Muir
ray, vice chairman Of the c. I. O.
and chairman of the steel workers
organizing committee, to comment
on the A. F. of LIS telegram.
CThe C. I. o. originally sug-
rested a committee of 100 to draft
peace terms. The A. F. OF LIS
counter-p1cposal agreed to enlarge
the federation's three-man stand
ing committee to a reasonable"
size, but held a 100-man commit
tee was "impracticable.")

Nevertheless, Chamberlain
warned, i've are striving night and

Referring to the question Of con.
Scription in Britain, he stated:
I'VE do not require an army
of continental size. What we
want is comparatively small,
highly efficient and highly mo-
BILE force. To get it, we look to
the voluntary system"
SPANISH CRISIS WATCHED
The Prime Minister'S speech
was delivered while the French
and British governments looked
to the non-intervention commit
tee for action to end foreign in
tervention in the Spanish war.
Withdrawal of foreign troops from
the conflict-especially those Of
Italy-it is felt in London and
Paris, will appease the situation
in the Mediterranean.
If the non-intervention commit
tee fails, drastic action is expected
from Britain and France to guard
against threatened menaces to
their trade routes in the Mediter-
ranean Sea. Patrol of warshipS to
prevent seizure of the Balearic
island of Minorca by Spanish in
surgent or Italian forces is the
most striking Of the projects I'm
der consideration.
MORE ITALIANS TO SPAIN
Aggravating the situation are
reports that still more Italian
troops are being sent to Spain to
join the insurgents.
Hopes that Premier Mussolini
might come to terms received
another blow today when Rome
issued an official denial Of state
ments that II Duce had ordered
withdrawal of 5000 Italian volun-
teers from the Spanish conflict.
A grim indication that Britain
means business, though she hopes
to reach a friendly settlement with
Italy, was seen in adviceS from
Egypt thai heavy Egyptian re-
endorsements are being rushed to
the desert border near Liba, ready
to meet any threats offered by
Fascist crops concentrated in the
Italian colony.

NINE POWERS
SilentOn Neutrality
Law Changes
By GEORGE E. DURNO


G.N.SO.-President Roosevelt de-
clared today an attempt would be
made to mediate Sino-Japanese
differences and end the unde.
clared war in the Orient.
This effort will be made through
conference of signatories Of the
nine.power treaty-to which, the
President pointed out, the United
States as yet has not received an
official invitation.
SILENT ON NEUTRALITY
The Executive made these state
ments at a press conference in
the study of his Hudson river
home. He was reluctant to dis
cuss the international situation.
Asked whether he would propose
modification of existing neutrality
legislation to the coming special
session of Congress, the President
declined to discuss the matter.
The President said he had been
in constant touch with Washing
ton but warned that any stories on
Americas future foreign policy
would be pure guesswork.
KENNEDY is GUEST
The President declined to COM
ment on the marked slump in the
stock market but indicated he
might have something to say on
the. subject in his messages to
Congress in November and Jan
uary.
Reports of dissenSion among the
membership of the National Btu
minous Coal Commission have not
reached the President, he said. If
there is such trouble, he recon-
mended that they lock themselves
in a room and iron it out.
Joseph P. Kennedy, head of the
Maritime Commission, was a
luncheon guest at Hyde Park to-
day. He discussed problems Incl
dent to rebuilding of the American
merchant marine with the Presi-
dent.
INTERPRETERS WITH PLANS

Reply to Peace Bid
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT

DENVER, Oct. is Q.N.S).-The
American Federation Of Labor,
preparing to end its annual con-
vention, today awaited a reply
from John L. Lewis to its latest
proposal for a conference to end
the split in the ranks of American
labor.
The federation, by a roaring
vote, reelected William Green as
president and offered to meet the
representatives of the rival c. I. o.
unions at a conference designed
to settle the quarrel between the
A. F. of L. and the John L. Lewis
organization.
The Washington times., 1937-10-15
FARLEY SOUGHT

Although the A. F. Of L. indi-
rectly rejected the C. I. o. sug-
gestion for a conference Of 100
representatives from each faction,
the executive council offered to
meet with the rebel group to dis
cuss reuniting of the labor move,
ment under the A. F. Of L. ban
ner."
The federation suggested that
the C. I. o. name a committee to
negotiate with the A. F. Of L.
standing committee Of three,
headed by George Harrison, or
that committees of a reasonable"
number be appointed by each
group to meet around the con-
ference table for peace talks.
HOPES FOR REUNION

labor movement may be re-
united" William Green told the
convention after his reelection.
IT am sure that calm reason will
prevail around the conference
