Ce able to extend the amount Of
public works by the paving Of
streets and the construction of
sewers. It perhaps can be done
without any increase in taxes.
II want all the people to know
that / propose going in there to

Brazil Breaks
Off Relations
4as
With Sovicts
my The Associated press,

I'd! the hSSOci0teO FreSSb
RIO DE JANERIO, Oct. 21.-
The Brazilian government an
nounced, today that it had broken
off diplomatic relations with So
Wet Russia. The Brazilian am
bassador in Moscow asked for
his passport, and a passport was
given to the Soviet ambassador
in this city.
Reason for the diplomatic
break, Brazil explained in a note
to Russia, was an attack on Bra
ziPs president and army by a
military Soviet magazine, which,
Brazil maintained, is conducted
under the direction of the Soviet
government, which refused to
have retraction published.
The magazine characterized the
Brazilian president as a fascist,
and belittled the ability of the
Brazilian army. g
The United States has con-
sented to take over any diplo-
matte duties that may arise in
Russia, affecting Brazil, and the
Yugoslav ambassador in Brazil
will act in a similar capacity for
the Russians.

Commons Will
Impose Further
Checks On Lords
an, rhe Associated press)

LONDON, Oct. 2l.-Legisla-
ton to curb further the House
of Lords will be taken in the
House of Commons by the Labor
party, Prime Minister Clement
Attlee announced today.
Chief among the further re-
strictions on the House of Lords
will be to set time limit for
them to act on bills sent there
by the House of Commons. The
Labor party declares that, on
several occasions, the Lords
have been slow in approving
bills, and assert that the delays
have been deliberate.
The House of Lords, powerful
when it was founded by Will
liam the Conqueror shortly af-
ter he won the crown in Eng
land in 1866, and for many years
thereafter, has been gradually
losing its authority in the last
two centuries.
In 1911, Commons passed an
act that deprived the Lords of
the rights to send back to Com
mons for further consideration
any bill they disapproved. Since
then they have been only con-
filming body, regardless of
whether or not they like the
provisions in a bill that Com
mons has passed.
