"Self-government" for the Dis
trict today was linked with an
overall plan for modernization
of the congressional machinery
in a bill introduced by Senator
La Toilette, Republican, of Wis
consin. The bill calls for creation
of a charter commission to pro-
vide a new form of municipal
government here.
The charter commission proposal
is contained in one section of an 49,
page omnibus" bill introduced by
the Wisconsin Senator, to carry out
recommendations of the House
Senate Joint Committee on Reor-
ganization of Congress, which he
headed.
The bill will be- referred to the
special Senate committee created
last Friday, with Senator La Fol-
lette as its chairman. This was set
up so that all of the recommenda
tions of the "streamline" group
could go to a single committee
instead of being scattered to many
Senate groups.
Hearings Expected Soon.
Committee spokesmen expect that
hearings will be called soon on the
big bill.

Tom Ellis Seeks to Beat BiIbo
In Primary by Ignoring Him
Popular Vote Getter

Threat to Senator

Sfur Stoff CORRESPONDENT

JACKSON, Miss, May 13.-
Tom Q. Ellis, minute dark
horse entry in the Democratic
senatorial primary, has decided
to try to beat Senator Bilbo by
the simple strategy of ignoring
him.
The rugged, friendly ex-railroad
worker, who has been elected clerk
of the State Supreme Court four
times, is making plans to visit every
corner of Mississippi between now
and primary day-July 2-without
replying to any personal references
to him that may be made by Sena-
tor Bilbo, or any other candidate.
In fact, he indicated today he does
not expect to mention Senator
Bilbo's name throughout the cam
paign.
Although it is less than two weeks
since Mr.. Ellis entered the race,
some seasoned political observers in
Mississippi already are inclined to
believe he will prove the strongest
OF Senator Bilbo's four opponents
when the ballots are counted.
Former representative Ross A.
Collins was the first to get started.

Teheran today and sources close
to the Central government said
no agreement had been reached.
He has been negotiating with
Iranian officials in secret for sew
eral days.
Central government sources said
the unfavorable flying weather
which blocked his departure Satur-
day may have prevented civil war
by prolonging the conversations.
Pishevari went to the Teheran
airport Saturday morning, but was
unable to leave because of adverse
weather reports.
Plshevari later called Premier

lranlan government and agreed to
reopen negotiations on the return
OF the self-proclaimed independent
province of Azerbaijan to the Gen.

cordlng to translator in Qavam's
Office.
The official radio station in
Iabrlz, Azerbaijan capital, asserted
earlier that negotiations had bro
ken down because of "reactionary
elements" in Teheran, and said the
Azerbaijan people were ready to
fight"
Likewise, an official who had ac-
companied Pishevari to the airport
said that breakdown of negotia-
lions might mean armed conflict" D."

moved to certain frontier stations.

Legislation Aimed at
VenereuI Disease Control
By Harold B. Rogers

To help control venereal dis
eases here the Metropolitan
health and hospital survey today
proposed enactment by Congress
of prenatal and premarital ex-
animation laws for the District
of Columbia.
Such legislation is in operation in
more than 80 States, the surveyors
reported in the fourth chapter of
their comprehensive analysis of
facilities in six political jurisdic-
tions.
Virginia has a premarital exam
inatlon, but not a prenatal exam
ingation law. Both laws, the sur
veyors recommended. also should
be available in Virginia and in
Maryland, which now has reither.
Regulations Incomplete.
These proposals were advanced in
connection with the statement that
the laws and regulations under
which the venereal disease program
is carried forward in the District
of Columbia are in many respects
faulty and incomplete"
1T is our belief" said the Board
of Outside Surveyors in their report,
that administrative detail should
be left for formulation in the form
of regulations framed by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Congress should, however, be
urged to provide certain important
background legislation, including
the requirement of premarital and
prenatal examinations for syphilis,
the requirement that sex offenders
be referred to the Health Depart
ment and a complete revision of
the laws regulating prostitution.
Meanwhile, the report said, the
District Commissioners should un-
dertake a revision of their own reg
ulations to cover points brought out
in a report by DR.. Walter Clarke,
which has been included in final
form of the survey. There were II
points in his report, the statement
made public today said, but the II
points were not disclosed in detail.
