Representative Joachim Fernandez
of Louisiana after signing the petit
tion took Mrs. Norton's hand and with
courtly bow kissed it as the 2l8th
name was affixed.
Representative Robert Crosser of
Ohio was on his way to the chamber
to sign the petition, having left a sick
not necessary.
Before the ink on the last signature
had time to dry, Mrs. Virginia f..
Jenckes Of Indiana, who had flown
from her State to help put over the
petition, rushed into the chamber with
fountain pen poised ready to affx
her signature. But she was five
minutes too late.
AS she left the House, Mrs. Nor
ton planted kiss squarely on the
cheek of Representative Arthur ID.
Healey Of Massachusetts, an ardent

Green Praises Petition Success
The American Federation Of Labor,

it, was jubilant. William Green, Presi-
dent of the Federation, said: 81 COM

The Wagncr-Steagall amendment
increases by 500 million dollars the
lending authority of the u. S. II. A.,

on this score secrecy is rigidly exercised.
Japan has been shaken to her roots by her
a-ambitious exploits in China. Her stock Of
gold has been freely spent to obtain supplies
from foreign countries. Her loss in manpower
has been staggering. Her people have given
signs that they are inclined to become rebelEouS
against the military regime. Nor is the end
yet in sight, Certainly, Japan's experiences are
not calculated to incite any other nation to un'

Russia has enough internecine strife to keep

IS u m Clearance
Plan Reported

Senate action before adjourn
ment on 16 District bills, which
would release more than $30,000,-
900 for slum clearance and muni-
cipal construction in Washington,
was being sought today by Sena-
tor William H. King d. of Utah,
chairman Of the District Commit
tee.
The District Committee late yes
terday, after a session Of more
than three hours, approved the l6
measures in an effort to dispose
of all pending District legislation
before Congress adjournS, prob
ably early next month.
LOAN PARITY FAVORED

ported by the committee would
place the District on a parity with
the States in the borrowing of
Federal funds for slum clearance
and low-cost housing construc-
tion. Funds up to SIS, ,0O0, 900
would be available under this leg
iSlation.
The other, also designed to give
the District equal rights with the
States, would release approx
mately $18,000,00O for municipal
PWA construction. Under terms
of this bill the District would be
permitted to borrow SIS per cent
from the Federal Government, to
be repaid over IS years.
Buildings proposed in the bill

recorder Of deeds.
REMAINING APPROVED
The committee approved bills

In addition, the committee

tatorial" powers.
