the housing bill the amendment by
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts. which
would have made obligatory the pay
ment Of prevailing wages" on hous-
ing projects for which the F. H. A.
granted mortgage insurance.
Senator Glass Of Virginia, chairman
Of the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee, may later in the week move to
take up the independent offices ap-
preparation bill. II this Is successful,
it will mean the laying aside of the
anti-lynching bill. Such a motion
would furnish test, at least. of the
determination of the leaders to keep
that bill before the Senate to the
exclusion of business which must be-
transacted
Senator Connally sought to lay the
blame on the Senate leadership for
delay in legislation. He contended
that if the leaders desired to dispose
of the necessary appropriation bills,
all they had to do was to call them
up and lay aside the anti-lynching bill.
But if the leadership wants to sub
ordinate all other legislation and keep
this anti-lynching bill before the Sem
ate. we intend to stay right with 1t.
There are lot Of Senators who have
not yet debated this measure, and
lot have spoken who are ready to
speak again"
Labor's Non-Partisan League has
entered the fight for the anti-lynching
bill, sending letter to all Senators
deploring the "undemocratic attempts
OF small minority to kill the bill
through the filibuster method" 1t
added: Common justice requires that
the Congress Of the United States shall
pass laws to safeguard the constitu-
tional rights of all citizens, irrespective
OF race, color or creed. Federal leg
lslation dealing with lynching seems
indispensable in providing such pro-
lection"
The league also has gone on record

Rex Bosher Coored Is Sets of 900 Plates Overcome Cost of
Process Printing, After Photographng 5000 Subjects
MAN set out almost SO years

~
n ago to recreate on canvas
~ every species OF bird in North
America just as he saw it in
its natural habitat.
The results of the task to which Rex
Brasher unsWervingly devoted his life
will be displayed at the National Geo.
graphic Society Building every day
this week beginning tomorrow, from
10 am. to 10 pm. The 900 colored
plates include 1900 major and SUBJ
species Of birds, over 700 more than
John James Audubon had in his COL
lection of bird portraitures.
When Audubon completed his folio
OF 435 hand-colored engravings Of
4S9 distinct species of birds nearly
100 years ago, his work was hailed
as the greatest of its kind the United
States had ever produced
There was one man, however, who
found AudubOn'S work unsatisfactory.
He was an amateur ornithologist and
the father of Rex Brasher. He point
ed out to his young son that Audubon
took liberties with the coloring, action,
proportion and background of the
birds. Some one, he said, should show
the birds as they really are.
Records Kept Accurate.
Young Rex Brasher was 10 years old
when he heard his fathers criticism
of Audubon. From that time until
his task was completed, Rex Brasher
spent every waking moment studying
birds and making an accurate record
OF the birds as he saw them imposed
in their native haunts.
He realized early that only at first
hand could he get true pictures Of the
birds. The bird portraits he had seen
painted from stuffed birds were un-
satisfactory. The birds lost their rich
coloring with death and their express
sions were similar and uncharacter-
istic.
The task he set for himself took
him to strange places. Once he was
shot at in the Kentucky mountains
by natives who took him for
marauder. He lived for months on an
Indian reservation while he sketched
the birds of the Southwest. He sailed
his own boat down the East Coast OF
North America. He tramped through
Florida swamps and up snow-covered
mountains.
In 1928 he thought his work was
done. He had painted. in his 900
plates, 5000 birds because he wanted
to include every coloration difference
due to age, sex, season or posture. He
showed birds at peace, birds afraid,
mischievous, angry.
New Demands on Patience.
But Mr.. Brasher found his work had
only begun. Again he needed the
patience that had never deserted him
through the long hours OF waiting
motionless in f1at-bottomed boat, of
lying fat on his face in the snow, of
crouching in briars to catch some
subtle motion of his bird subject.
He was told that it would take $780,
900 to reproduce his paintings by the
four color process, and even if he had
had the money. which he did not
have, the coloring would not be as
accurate as he wanted it.
So Mr.. Brasher settled back in his
rough farmhouse in the Connecticut

and with the press, nothing has been
disclosed, and nothing concrete has
been offered for legislation. The Pres
ident's recent attack on holding COM
panies brought fear to a great many
gentlemen. But the modification of
his declaration against all holding
companies, which followed last week,
has lessened the tension.
Tax Plans Proceeding.
The administrations plans for tax
revision are proceeding, but not too
rapidly. Hearings before the House
Ways and Means Committee will be
continued tomorrow and may be con-
cluded by tomorrow night. The COM
mittee's job then will be to write a
bill. The measure will conform in
large to the report and recommends
tions of the Vinson Subcommittee, it
Is believed. However additions to the
bill may be expected. When the meas
ure reaches the floor Of House and
Senate. attempts will be made to elm
mate the undistributed profits tax,
which the subcommittee proposed to
modify, but retain in principle.
The Senate will begin long day and
night sessions tomorrow in an effort
to break down the filibuster against
the anti-lynching bill, filibuster that
has been in operation for IA days,
although the speakers have insisted
they are not engaged in filibuster
Meeting at II am. the Senate will
continue in session each day until 10
or II pm. without a dinner recess,
according to the plans Of Senator
Barkley of Kentucky, Democratic
leader.
Undaunted by these proposed long
hours. the Southern Senators are lay
ing their plans for keeping the de-
bate under way, and also for compeh-
ing the supporters of the bill to be
on hand. Senator Connally of Texas,
spokesman for the group, said last
night that Senator McKellar of Ten
nessee would speak tomorrow on the
T. V. A. in reply to Senator Bridges
OF New Hampshire. When that ad-
dress is completed, Senators George Of
Georgia, Pepper of Florida and Hill of
Alabama will speak on the anti-lynch-
ing bill.
Housing Bill Report.
There is also probability that the
conference report on the administra-
tion's new housing bill may be laid
before the Senate tomorrow, certainly
by Tuesday. 1t is privileged matter
and can be taken up without formally
displacing the anti-lynching bill as
the unfinished business. This confer
ence report Is likely to lead to con-
siderable debate, giving the opponents
OF the anti-lynching bill a breathing

as opposing the seating Of John Mil
ton. newly appointed Senator from
New Jersey. Mr. Milton. an adviser
of Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City,
is expected to appear in the Senate
tomorrow with his credentials to take
the oath of office. Mr.. Hague's war
fare with the c. I. o. has caused him
to be denounced as dictator. Labor
Nom Partisan League also has at
tackled Mr.. Hague as a corrupt politi-
cal boss"
Not Taken Seriously.
The Senate. apparently, has not yet
taken the attack on Mr.. Milton seri-
ously. No Senator has come forward
with a declaration he would ask Mr..
Milton to stand aside" until an in
vestigation is made. In fact, a great
many Senators have declined to enter
the controversy a. all. Gov Harry A.
Moore Of New Jersey, until recently a
Senator, will be on hand to introduce
his new appointee to his former COL
leagues. Mr.. Moore is extremely popu-

believed.
Senator George of Georgia, chair
man Of the Committee on Privileges
and Elections. said he had received q
number of letters and kilograms from
those opposing the seating Of Mr.. Mil
ton. but that none contained specific
charges which would warrant their
being submitted to the Senate.
An attempt to bar Mr.. Milton would
result In real battle in the Senate
Before the week is out, and perhaps
tomorrow, the nomination of Stanley
Reed to be an associate justice of the
Supreme Court, succeeding Justice
Sutherland, retired. will be confirmed
by the Senate. The nomination will
be reported favorably to the Senate
Judiciary Committee by subcommit-
tee tomorrow, and is expected to 60
to the Senate Immediately for action.

Fog Turns Hawaii Plane
Back Home After False
Start to Honolulu,

SAN PEDRO, Calf. Jan. 22-The
Pan-American Airways' trouble-beset
China Clipper returned to Cabrillo
Beach late today, after a false start
for Alameda. Calf. home base from
which it departed late yesterday for
Honolulu
Capt. j. H. Tilton. commander, said
he had flown as far north as Santa
Monica when he received a radio mes
sage from the home port ordering him
back here for the night because Of
fog at Alameda.
The giant seaplane, with is passen-
gers and crew members, made Los
Angeles its unexpected port Of call
at dawn after a clogged fuel line from
one OF the wing tanks forced 1t to
turn back from the Honolulu flight
last night. The trouble arose more
than 600 miles out over the Pacific.
Immediate plans were made to &C.
commodate the seven passengers.
1t was the same fog bank which
forced the sister ship Hawaii Clipper
to circle the Alameda port for an hour
today before landing on its incoming
journey from Hawaii that brought the
China Clipper back this evening.
Plans now call for Capt Tilton to
take the plane north in the morning
in the hope 1t can depart for Honolulu
again tomorrow afternoon.
Capt. Tilton pointed the Clipper
north after it had been refueled from
barges. Seven of the eight passengers
aboard when 1t landed this morning
were aboard when the craft headed
north.
The other went back to his ofices
to handle some business. He will
board the plane again tomorrow.
Capt. Tilton belittled the trouble
encountered when he arrived this
morning. He said the. clogged fuel
line had been repaired en- route back
and that the return was a precautions
ary measure.
I'VE were two hours this side OF
halfway to Honolulu" he said, when
the fuel line from the right wing be-
came clogged. We had drawn 300
gallons OF the $50 capacity when the
cloggage occurred.
Because We were two hours this
side OF halfway there was nothing to
do but turn back"
The planes four motors were run
ming nicely when the craft circled the
harbor at sunrise and then settled
down.
The passengers said they were sur
prised when awakened this morning
and told they were landing at San
Pedro.

800 miles northwest of Shanghai, as
both Chinese and Japanese were re-
ported preparing feverishly for a de-
cisive battle.

20 miles beyond that city in the battle
for the southern section of the rail
line.
Japanese columns, moving from the
south, pressed on Suchow, vital juno
tion Of the Tientsin railway. with
the lifeline Lunghai railway, that
cuts into China's interior.
