ID. {. RACE BILL
F0ESPLAN NEW
OPPOSITION
Bloc Will Attempt to
Prevent Vote BY
Legal angles

An attempt to prevent House
consideration of the bill to legalize
horse racing in the District will
be made on the grounds that the
rules were violated by the House
District Committee in giving favor
able committee vote on it yester-
day, it was learned today.
Aroused ~ what they claim we're
"railroading" tactics employed by
the sponsors Of the bill when it
was before the committee yester-
day, members of the committee
opposed 20 the measure are pre-
pared to bring into play every
parliamentary weapon possible to
defeat the bill.
Shaefer Has Plan
It was Representative Paul w.
Shafer CD, of Michigan, who to-
day revealed that he has hit upon
points of order which he believes
will be sustained in order to stop
its consideration in the House.
One of these, he says, is based
on the fact that the bill was not
read for amendment in commit
tee before the vote was taken. He
says he has found precedentS
showing that a point of order
against legislation based on that
fact have been upheld, and, he
added, he feels that his point of
order on that basis against the
race track bill will be upheld.
He also contends that majority
of the members present did not
vote to order the bill favorably
reported.
Sixteen Voted
When the vote on the bill was
taken in committee yesterday
there was but 16 members who
actually were present to cast their
ballots. Eight of them voted in
favor of reporting the bill, and
the other eight voted in opposi-
tion to such a motion.
However, Representative Mary
T. Norton CD, of New Jersey,
chairman of the committee, and
author of the bill, announced that
she had the proxies of two other
members, and that both favored
reporting the bill. She then an
nounced approval to the motion to
report the measure, 10 to 8.
Proxies Hit
Mr.. Arnold today contended
that the chairman did not act in
accordance with the rules in vot-
ing the proxies, and that therefore
the vote should have been eight
to eight, which, under the rules,
amounts to a vote against report
ing the bill.
Several of the committee mem.
berS against the measure pointed
out that their opposition would
not be so bitter if it had not been
that there was an obvious attempt
on the part of the advocates of
the bill on the committee to rail
road" it through.
They pointed out that. although
hearings have been held on the
bill, they were held last session
when several of the new commit
tee members we're not in Congress.
They also suggest that at the
committee meeting held on Wed
nesday it was urged by proponents
of the bill that the committee
meet again yesterday to take
action on the race track legisla-
tion, indicating that there was a
hurry to get action on it. Then,
they add, at the conclusion of
yesterdays meeting, Mrs. Norton
said that the bill will not be called
up on the House floor until a
week from Monday.

 DETROIT Feb. 16, - Six points omitted in the settlement of the General Motors strike provided the base today for negotiations between representatives of the corporation and the United Auto mobile Workers of America.
 The agreement last Thursday which terminated the strike was settled only on two collective bar gaining issues.

been Aunt Abby's housekeeper for years. is another screamingly funny part. She has been reared with Aunt Abby's ideas against men, but she, too, suddenly turns when Aunt Abby does and to watch the two of them suddenly come under the spell of love is a sure cure for the greatest grouch in the world. The part of Lu- cindy has been entrusted to Miss Vesta Poison and advance re- ports have it that she will con- vulse the audience with laughter.
 The price of admission to the play Aunt Abby Answers An Ad" is a gild-edged laugh invest ment that will soar in value with each succeeding act. In one town where this funny play was pre- sented, a man was heard to eX- claim, i've laughed enough to last me a month" What better endorsement can we give? See this grand play, played by an ex- cellent cast and directed with extreme care by Miss Mildred Scott. You won't regret it.
