Administration Wins First House
Test on Neutrality Bill, 237 to 177

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. OUP)--
The administration today won the
opening engagement of the house
neutrality fight when the chamber
approved a rule to send the mea-
sure to conference with the senate.
The house ordered the bill sent
to conference by voice vote after
an initial test of strength on a mo-
ton by Rep. Hamilton Fish, r., N.
Y, to close debate on the rule under
which the measure was sent to con-
ference.
The administration won the vote
to close debate, 237 to 1T.
The failure of the house to take
a record vote on the approval of
the rule sending the bill to confer
ence came as a surprise.
Immediately after the initial test
on closing debate on the rule the
question of passage of the rule was
placed before the house. Fish then
asked for rollcall but was unable
to win sufficient support among
house members to force the call.

Drive for Clean
Migratory

Squatters camps were OUT
lawed Tuesday by DR.. War
rem F. Fox, county health
officer.
Camping will not be per-
mitted in sites having no sanitary
and health facilities, he declared.
This rule was made for the protec-
ton of the campers themselves as
well as for other residents of I'm
perial Valley. The same rules will
apply this year as were in effect
last year.
Migratory workers may live at
the federal labor camps at BraWley
or Calipatria, in the camps main
tanned by the growers, or in other
camps provided with sanitary facil-
tiles, Fox said.
Commercial auto courts and trail
er camps in unincorporated areas
must comply with state health laws.
Fox recommended that builders of
camps and courts in inland and
other unincorporated areas contact
, his office Immediately to ascertain
if they meet requirements. The
concentration of All American can
al workmen at inland and surround
ing areas will create health prob
lem unless we'll handled, he said.
1--WE started issuing orders about
camping site requirements this year
before the migratory laborers were
settled" Fox said. I'VE did this
so they would not be forced to
move after they once we're settled
for the winter harvest season."
Sites where camping will be tabu
will be posted with signs so the mi
gratory group will be informed
while they are searching for q
place to camp.
Cities have their own health laws
he explained, while the county han
dies the unincorporated zones.

Calls on District

was evidently courtesy call.

Warns Nations to
Spare Flint Crew
American Freighter on
Voyage to Germany in
Mine-Filled Waters

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
(UP) - The U. S. govern
ment, it was learned at the
state department today, is
expressing to Great Britain
and Germany its expectation that all
belligerents will guard against ex-
City of Flint to unnecessary dan
gers.
The government is also express
ing to Britain and Germany its
concern for the safety of the Flints
American crew. Instructions have
been forwarded to the London and
Berlin embassies to make repreSen-
tationS to that effect.
The U. S. representations en-
phasized the grave concern that
officials feel for the safety of the
Americans.
There was no official explana
tion of the term expectation that
danger to the Americans will be
avoided but it carried the implied
feeling that the U. S. would look
seriously On any action endanger-
ing the Americans.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
said yesterday that every step was
being taken that could be calcu-
lated to contribute most to the
safety of the Americans, and show
ed concern for their welfare.
There was no further official
news from the Flint, although Eu-

DR.. Harrington hopes, life will be-

who joined him eight days ago ir
the first life-or-death experiment
with refrigeration therapy.
He will lift from her emaciated
body the freezing blanket of his
own design under which she has
lived in a strange coma since last
Friday. Immediately her tempera-
ture, driven down to 85 degrees
will begin rising toward normal
and her heart and lung functions,
toned to inaudible whispers, re-
surge.
1t may be days then before DR..
Harrington can make a positive
pronouncement on the experiment,
one that will give new hope to or
return to despair thousands upon
thousands of cancer victims. But
today, a few hours before its con-
clusion, he said it had already
worked wonders for its subject.
He displayed X-ray photographs
which showed her abdominal tumor
a week ago and again yesterday 1t
had decreased in size by more than
one half. The big question to be
answered by the experiment, he
said was whether the refrigeration
therapy had actually killed the can
Ger cells or merely arrested their
growth for the period of the treat
ment. He was certain, he said, that
the therapy had greatly extended
her life expectancy which, until
the experiment began, had been
set by him and other physicians at
not beyond Nov. 12.
The moment Mrs. Stout awakens
out of the cold-induced coma to-
night, DR.. Harrington said, she will
have given the most positive evi-
dence so far that life attacked by
cancer and doomed can be prolong-
ed by the new therapy. He had no
doubt that she would awaken.

which she said she had been hid
ing, and demanded that he help her
escape from Phoenix.
The minister, whose name the
sheriff said he had promised to
keep secret, tried to leave his living
room, while his wife entertained
their caller but Winnie forced him
to stay with her.
Refusing to eat and even to talk,
the mad murderess sat in his easy
chair, with her knife in her lap
and stared at him, for what seemed
like ages to the terrified preacher.
She finally demanded that he take
her away from Phoenix in his auto
mobile.
He thought he might be able to
take her back TO the state insane
asylum, but when she noticed he
was driving in that direction, she
jumped from his moving car and
ran into the darkness.
While Mrs. Judd slept in the grip
of sedatives at the asylum, where
she surrendered last night after
nearly week of chaotic freedom,
authorities tried in vain to discover
exactly how she had spent her
time.
They were unable to obtain a
coherent account of her wander
ings from the mad murderess, who
banged on the hospital door last
night, shoeless, carrying satchel
of food scraps, and flying into
series of RACES when they attempted
to question her.
The trunk killer grabbed a box
of pencils and started throwing
them around DR.. Saxe's office when
he attempted 10 reconcile her story
of spending her six days at large
in a cornfield and an orange grove
near the institution with the facts
dug up by the two gun sheriff,

She refused to say where she had

Footprints resembling hers were
in the dust in Lenter's back yard.
