TILL new FARM
BILL DRAFTED
Roosevelt Cancels All En-
gagements; Confined

IS STILL URGING
FARM INCOME PARITY

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. (UP)
Senate filibusters today frightened
their ranks against the anti-lynch-
ing bill in a drive to delay the
vote until the new farm bill is
ready for debate.
Chairman f. ID. Smith of the
agriculture committee kept that
committees members at their task
in the hope Of reporting a crop
control measure early next week.
Meantime, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace told the committee
he favored the Pope-McGill farm
bill in principle.
The house agriculture commit
tee adopted a voluntary cotton
control plan on a titled acreage
basis.
Senate farm leaders agreed last
night to speed consideration OF
the Administrations new crop CON
troll legislation after fresh revolts
in the house threatened an indefi-
mite deadlock.
Chairman Smith, in the face Of
house indecision, agreed to hasten
action by using the Pope-McGill
bill, which is favored by Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace,
as a workbench" model.

SENATE ENDS DAY
IN BITTER MOOD

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. CUP
The senate recessed in bitter mood
late yesterday after five hours OF
acrimonious debate over the con-
troversial Wagner-Van Mugs anti
lynching bill which drew prospects
of a filibuster from southern SEN
ators and threatened to side-track
action on farm. wage-hour and
other legislation.
Scarcely "a hours after Presi-
dent Roosevelt pleaded with the
special session for quick enact
ment of his program to halt the
economic recession, senate leaders
were forced to drop plans TO de-
bate governmental reorganization
and take up the anti-lynching bill.
Southern senator's led by Sen.
Tom Connally, D., Texas, prompt
~ interviewed and after Connally
had vigorously criticized Majority
Leader Alben w. Barley, D.. KY.
for acceding to demands OF the
powerful lynch bill bloc, launched
into heated debate.
Connally shouted that he knew
that Associate Justice Hugo l..
Black would declare the measure
unconstitutional when and if It
reaches the supreme court, on the
basis of Blacks record as south
ern senator. He was still on the
floor vehemently denouncing the
bill when the senate recessed.
Leading opponents Of the legis-
lation, which passed the house last
session, doubted that they could
maintain a "big time" filibuster
long enough to prevent its enact
ment but they felt that they might
continue until farm bill is ready.
The fs~m bill, under resolution
adopted last session, would then
be showed ahead.
Connally, at one stage Of his at
tack, forced the clerk to read a
speech made by Black against
similar legislation in 1885. The
Justice was criticized recently for
having been q member Of the Ku
Klux Khan.

JAPS DEFIANT
TO BRUSSELS
PEACE EFFORT
Spokesman lntimates Any
Mediation Will Be En-
trusted to Berlin, Rome

BRUSSELS, Nov. II. up
Japan'S spokesman last night de-
scribed the far eastern peace con-
ference's condemnation of Japan
as "laughable" and intimated that
any mediation to end the war. in
China would be entrusted to Ger
many and Italy.
The spokesman said that the
United States, Great Britain and
the other l3 powers which joined
in branding Japan as an outlaw
have "disqualified" themselves as
future mediatOrS in the far east.
The defiant statement was an
other blow to the conferences i'll
fatcd efforts and came at a mo-
ment when delegates convinced
that the United States congress
will reject any proposal to
force" Japan to give up her war,
prepared to admit complete fail
Wc and go home.
The Japanese spokesman Sar-
castically referred to the portion
of Mondays conference declara-
ton bcrating Japan as a treaty
breaker.
Only Fascist Italy, which has
consistently fought Japan's case
within the conference, voted
against the declaration while three
Scandinavian countries abstained.
among the powers voting for
this declaration are there not
some nations who rcpudiate pay
mcnt of their debts to the United
States. despite solemn promises"
he asked. THE ironical attitude
of powers who vote for things
which they do not observe them
selves is laughable.
I'm any event it is highly re-
grettable for these powers that
they have not taken advantage of
the passages in Japan's reply in
which Japan carefully opened the
way for good offices. As a result
of the conference declaration this
way is now closed forever"
The japanese spokesman crltl-
cized the conference for enlisting
Soviet RusSia's aid in the declara-
ton which opposed interference
in the affairs of another nation.
as it not Soviet Russia who is
always interfering in the internal
affairs of other nations through
the Third Internationale?" asked
the spokesman. Has not Soviet
Russia in reality annexed outer
Mongolia and Chinese Turkes-
tan?"
While the japanese spokesman
was attacking Russia the chief U.
S. delegate, Norman H. Davis,
was comforting with Vladimir Po-

KAI-SHEK RESIGNS
TO COMMAND ARMY

NANKING, Nov. II. (UP)-
The United States river gunboat,
Oahu, was ordered today to pro-
coed under full steam to Marking
from lchang, $50 miles up the
YangtZe as evacuation reached a
near panic stage.
Wealthy Chinese and govern
ment officials crowded the water
front, awaiting steamships to go
up the river.
The poorer people crowded the
railroad station. awaiting freight
trains, though most Of the city's
population elected to remain.
The Russian embassy announced
plans to follow the Chinese gov
eminent to safer quarters up the
river within the next few days.
Reliable sources said that the
United States, British, French and
German embassies would follow.
Meanwhile, Shanghai heard re-
ports that Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek had resigned the prcsi-
dency of the governments execu-
tive council in order to lead the
army in its final stand against the
japanese. The report said Chang
would be succeeded by II. H.
Kung, finance minister, and vice
president of the executive COM
mittee.
1t is evident that Chinese lead
ers thought the war has reached
a crisis.

Two Amendments Offered Call For
