Senator Il. W. Kenny Los An

sens floor leader, presented the
amendments, declaring they were

grounds a full hearing was held IN

amendments should be studied and
that adoption of Rosenthals re-
commendations was q slap at the

ed argument.
A more moderate bill by SEN
ator Roy Nielsen, R, Sacramento,
was passed 26 TO 10 by the upper
house and is on the assembly file.
1t gives local boards of education
power to enforce compulsory flag
saluteS.
Both bills resulted from the re-
fusal Of certain members of Jeho-
vah's witnesses, a religious sect,
to salute the flag. The case Of Char
lotte Gabrieli, years old when
expelled from a Sacramento school,
was taken to the United States
supreme court, where the expulsion
was upheld.
Cannon and Millington support
their bill on patriotic grounds while
opponents declare it infringes On
personal and religious freedom.
Some assemblymn expressed them
selves as believing flag salutes
should be voluntary and not en-
broiled in religious argument, but
hesitated to vote no" and leave
a negative attitude of being op-
posed to patriotism.

Russia in a military alliance with
Great Britain and France, which
Litvnoy had been trying to do,

or speed the negotiations with
France and Great Britain for a

1890. He succeeded AleXi Rykoy

the way for the rise of Lenin and
Trotsky. Later. he was credited
with causing Trotskys exile.
