THE ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1933 Congress time to canvass and cer PARDON PLEA Showdown Is Slated Today For Banking Reform Bill that his amendment would do away with such spectacles as the Senate filibuster of the last two weeks, for filibusters, justified or otherwise, thrive on lack of time, and from now on Congress will have no set adjournment day. It will meet every year on January 3. The President will take office every four years on January 20. The 17-day difference is to give serted a balanced budget was "the cornerstone" upon which easier domestic credits and better world conditions must be "We are so close to a balanced budget that It can be had by a vigorous cut in expenses and a small Increase in taxes," the Secretary of the Treasury said. One of the Democratic resolutions for which Senate approval Is predicted by its sponsors is that of Senator Pat-Harrison, Demoprat, Mississippi, directing the Finance Committee to study the whole economic situation with a view to obtaining constructive suggestions from leading economists, financiers and statesmen as to "methods and policies to restore economic stability." The other inquiry, sought by Senator Edward P.

Costlgan, Demo Advertising Tip! Washington, January IS (AP) Daily newspaper advertising, if linked with a store's window display, Is said by the Department of Commerce, in one of its business circulations, to result in quadruple the selling power of the window. The evidence of the increased aales as a result of newspaper advertising reached the department from a New York display manager. This manager observed that a window display had good "pulling power" and newspaper advertising alone brought similar result, but the combination of the two increased the public's response four times as much as either one alone. Ohio Approves New Amendment; Red Tape To Be Finished Today Perfectly Simple Washington, January S3 (AP) Here's a good one: The reason why under the new Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution the President takes office 17 days after Congress meets on January 3, Is that the President hasn't been elected by January 3. No matter what the voters did at the ballot box In November, formal election of the President takes place when Congress canvasses the vote of the states, adds them up and declares the result Under the new amendment there will be no session of Congress between election day and January so the canvassing must be done after that Seventeen days may seem long for Congress to organize Itself and confirm the presidential election, but It is short targin if difficulties come up over choosing the Speaker of the House, or if, in case no majority of the electoral vote is obtained In the presidential election, the President must be named by Congress.

Republican leader, commended Senator Carter Glass for this move and later predicted the vote could be had sometime tomorrow night, if not sooner. The bill withstood attacks from two sources today when the Senate rejected, 62 to 14, an amendment by Long to kill the provision that the Secretary of the Treasury be removed from the Federal Reserve Board. It also turned down without a roll call a change suggested by Senator Jesse H. Metcalf, Republican, Rhode Island, to require the Government to provide the entire capital stock of a proposed corporation to liquidate the assets of closed banks without the help of Federal Reserve and member bank subscriptions. Approval was voted an amendment by Grass himself to provide that the Government subscribe instead of appropriate $125,000,000 of the corporation's capital stock.

This left unchanged the rest of the section that Metcalf wished to have stricken out and requires the Federal Reserve banks to provide approximately $68,000,000 of the capital from its surplus funds and the member banks to furnish about $75,000,000 or about one-fourth of CONTINUED FEOM PAGE OJTE. He was convicted in Denver in 1917. Before coming to Denver he jumped a $2,000 bond in St Louis, where he had appealed from a conviction on a similar charge. If the pardon is granted, deputies will be sent from St Louis to return him to the Missouri city. St Louis authorities said he would be delivered to -the State Penitentiary at Jefferson City.

Under the guidance of Dicker-son, Smeeman traced his life history. Stacks of letters and telegrams from ministers, lawyers, Judges and other persons scattered throughout the United States urging Executive clemency were given to Governor Johnson by Dlckerson, who pleaded that by Smeeman's 15 years of good citizenship "the debt to society had been paid." A Torrington, music teacher, Mrs. Elizabeth Dickey, who said she had known Smeeman since childhood, made, a plea for Smeeman's liberty. John De Paul, another Torrington music instructor, testified at the hearing he owed his musical education to Smeeman and his brother, George A. Bron--son, who also had served a term in the Colorado prison for automobile theft.

T. J. Tynan, former Warden, testified Smeeman had been a model prisoner and that he had placed him on the road gang in an effort to rebuild Smeeman's declining health. Tynan declined to express a personal opinion of the case other than to say he believed "society had been paid" by Smeeman's life since his ROUTE CHANGE OPPOSED.

Virginia ratified even waiting to obtain a copy of the proposal. Seventeen states had ratified be fore the campaigns were begun last summer.

The remaining ratifica tions all have come since legisla tive sessions began again the first week of this month. ing the ceiling was low and conditions unfavorable for flying over the mountains. There was another plan to put the resolution on the Eastern airmail plane, but this fell down, too. Both branches of the General Assembly wearied of delay In wait ing for reception of the printed copy for enrollment and signature of presiding officers. These steps are to be taken tomorrow.

Governor White was in his office to help speed the resolution and George S. Myers, Secretary of State, was in his office to attest the passage as required by law and to for ward it to the Secretary of State of the United States. At 9:30 the delay was considered too great and the proposal to get it on its way tonight was aban doned. In the House the resolution was adopted by a vote of 127 to 2. E.

R. King, Vinton, and M. R. Thompson, Lorain, cast negative votes. Speaker Frank Cave did not vote and there were five absentees.

Earlier the House Federal Rela tions Committee had recommended the resolution for adoption. H. C. Keifer, Clark, was the author. Rules were suspended to expedite adoption.

The resolution was rushed to the Senate where it was taken up under suspension of the rules and adopted unanimously, every one of the 32 Senators voting for It. There was' a round of partisan exchanges. SPEED RECORD IS HELD By Twelfth Amendment To Con stitution, Records Show. Washington, January 23 -(AP) Although ratified with exceptional rapidity, the Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution must cede speed honors to the Twelfth, which was approved by the states in nine and a half months. Proposed December 12, 1803, It was ratified by September 25, 1804.

That amendment defined the man ner in which the President and Vice President are chosen. The Thirteenth Amendment, abol ishing slavery, was ratified approxi mately as fast as the "lame duck change. It took approximately -en and a half months, from February 1, 1865, to December 18, of the same year. The Twentieth, ratified to day, was proposed to the states on March 3k1932. The Eighteenth Amendment and the Nineteenth, granting to women the vote, both required approximately 13 months to get through, while the Fifteenth and Seven teenth, the first carrying equal rights for all races, the second providing direct election of Senators, each went through in Just more than a year.

By contrast, the income tax amendment and one protecting the United States Government against civil suits took be tween three and four years to become part of the Constitution after Congress proposed them. PAY CUT IS HANDED To Roosevelt And Congressmen By Lame Duck Amendment. Washington, January 23 (AP) Franklin D. Roosevelt will lose al most $9,000 as a result of the lame duck amendment to the Constitution, ratified today. His term of office will be cut 43 days because, though he will be in augurated March 4, he will end this term on January 20, 1937.

Federal salaries are paid for time actually in office so the presiden tial $75,000 will have to be reduced proportionately. He is expected also to take a voluntary pay cut, like President Hoover's. Each member of the next Con gress will have two months cut off the end of his term likewise, and 1 per cent of their total deposits. "This will be no burden whatever on the Federal Reserve System," Glass contended. Metcalf had argued that the weaker member banks might not be in a position to subscribe to the corporation's stock.

Assumption by sections of the British press that the United States made it a condition of the invitation to Great Britain to discuss debts and economic problems that Great Britain shall return to a gold staandard Is unwarranted, according to officials familiar with the conference. IDENTITY IS SOUGHT Of Woman Found Lying On Sidewalk Victim 60 Years- Old. efforts are being made by police to identify a woman, 60 years old, found injured, probably fatally, at Hopkins and Baymiller Streets, last night She was found lying on the sidewalk. Police and physicians were unable to determine whether the woman was a.

victim of a hit-and-run motorist or an attack. She is about 5 feet 3 inches in height. She wore a gray coat, blue sweater, black and white gingham dress, black shoes and tan stockings. Tim When you see us don'i ihinlc of Life Insurance I Laurence C. Union Trust Bldg, Massachusetts Mutual MAin 0215 Washington, January 23 (AP) Currency inflation through re-monetization of silver arose as the last big obstacle in the path of the Glass banking reform bill tonight as factional leaders reached an informal understanding to hold the Senate in session tomorrow night to reach a final vote.

Senators Huey Long, of Louisiana, and Burton K. Wheeler, of Montana, Democratic liberals who have fought the measure but now are willing for it to face the final test after considerable revision, each proposed silver riders at the last minute today. Wheeler offered as an amendment his bill providing for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 with gold, and said he would speak on it the first thing tomorrow. The Montanan proposed it 'as a substitute for the Long amendment, which is similar to the Cross bill in the House. This would pro vide for remonetization at a ratio of about 14 or 15 to 1 by calling for Federal purchase of silver bullion and issuance of silver certificates whenever 371.25 grains of fine silver is less in value than 25.8 trains of cold, nine-tenths fine.

With these amendments voted party leaders tonight predicted the Glass bill virtually would be ready for a final showdown. While no formal agreement was entered into, Senator Charles L. McNary, of Oregon, the assistant LONDON KEEN CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. lean public would have confidence in the decisions of a conference in Washington, and that situations probably would be avoided such as the reservations which were disclosed after the recent Lausanne Reparations Agreement. It is not likely that Britain, or particularly Mr.

MacDonald, would agree to the transfer of the. world conference outright to Washington. But informed quarters say that the two probably outstanding problems at Washington, namely settlement of the war debts and return of depreciated currency nations to the gold standard, would be two of the outstanding problem at any world economic conference. If these problems can be solved at Washington, the back of the world depression might be broken quickly. Of if broad principles lor solution could be agreed upon at Washington the details might be settled at an adjourned world economic conference at London.

Many minor European problems concerning trade barriers and restrictions would find logical solution on European ground. Optimistic Over Trade. Britain has started the year with an optimistic outlook for foreign trade, not on the solid basis of pre- depression years, but with the firm belief that there is a tendency everywhere in the country toward trade improvement. The Stock Exchange began the year with a refreshing flurry of activity, unemployment fell 75,000 in the last returns and heavy Industries show signs of Improvement. While world-wide contraction of trade during the first six months of 1932 averaged 54 per cent, Britain's all-over shrinkage was less than 15 per.

cent and her exports declined only 7 per cent. The visible adverse balance was cut from $1,293,100,000 in 1930 to $961,450,000 in 1932 and still is falling. This is considered essential to the country's recovery as difficulties in the way of restoring the former favorable balance of in visible items to their former magni tude appear insurmountable, at least for the present. One of Britain's main objectives is to cut imports of manufacturers and these have fallen two-thirds in the last year, due to new British tariffs and to depreciation of sterling in terms of gold. American Exports Cut Many primary American exports have been hard hit in the British market, as shown by the following contrasts of imports from the United States for 1930 and 1932: Wheat imports were cut from $30,150,000 to barley, $5,025,000 to bacon, $6,700,000 to $606,000, and hams, $13,410,000 to $5,360,000.

Washington, January 23 (AP) New moves in the war debt prob lem tonight brought Italy and Belgium informally into the rapidly developing discussions that have followed the reopening of debt negotiations with Great Britain. Acting without instructions from his government, Ambassador Rosso of Italy made inquiries of the State Department over the prospect of talking debts with the United States. When it paid its debt due last December 15, the Fascist Grand Council in a declaration said it would be necessary to nego tiate a new agreement before the next payment is due, June 15.

VETO IS PREDICTED For First Deficiency Appropri ation Bill Passed By Congress. Washington, January 23 (AP)r- A presidential veto of the first deficiency appropriation bill, only one of the annual supply measures passed by Congress, was predicted today by Administration leaders in Congress.

Close advisers of President Hoo ver forecast he would veto the bill because of its provision forbidding tax refunds in excess of $20,000 except with the approval of the Joint Congressional Committee on Internal Revenue. Attorney-General William Mitchell was reported to have prepared an opinion to the President holding this provision unconstitutional. It was attached to the bill in the Senate on motion of Senator Ken neth McKellar, Democrat, Tennes see, and modified in the House. The bill carries approximately $30,000,000 to supply urgent deficiencies in the Government departments. At the White House aides to th! President declined to comment upon his possible action, saying he was still awaiting reports from the departments to which he submitted it for report.

THRIFT POLICY Is Snubbed By House In Voting To Continue Citizens' Military Training Camps $2,500,000 Is Involved. Washington, January 23 (AP) The House disregarded economies supported by the Democratic lead ers today and in the name of na tional defense voted to continue the Citizens' Military Training Camps next year. It added $2,500,000 to the War Department appropriation bill for that purpose. It likewise followed the lead of Republicans and agreed to spend $572,000 more on organized reserves than the Appropriations Committee had recommended. But Representative Ross A.

Col lins, Democrat, Mississippi, Chair man of the Appropriations Com mittee that made the recommenda tion for elimination of the Citizens' Military Training Camps in the 1934 fiscal year, promised a roll call vote on each of these amendments before the bill Is passed. We 11 get them on record any how," Collins told newspapermen. "And when the folks back home find out who voted for these additional expenditures, they'll have something to say." The two amendments both by Representative Henry E. Barbour, Republican, California were adopted after lengthy debate that consumed most of the day's meeting, although Joseph W. Byrns Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, pleaded for speed so when the special session begins it will not have to devote its time 'on supply, bills.

Barbour's C. M. T. C. amendment, approved by a vote of 117 to 46, would allow the $2,500,000 for that activity as compared with the budget recommendation of $1,000,000 and the Appropriations Committee, nothing.

His other amendment would permit the expenditure of $6,354,348 on the organized reserves, training 20,000 instead of 17,300. Approximately 35 Democrats voted with Barbour.on the C. M. T. C.

addition, although it was opposed by Speaker John N. Garner and Byrns. TERMS AGREE UPON For Lease Of Parts Of Park Fund Set-TJp Eliminated. Terms of a new ordinance granting the Recreation Commission a lease of unused portions of the waterworks property at California were agreed upon yesterday at a conference of Council Public Utilities Committee and Tam Deering, Director of Recreation. Provisions originally proposed, which would require the water works to set up a fund of $500 a month, the arAount the department will save by the Recreation Commission maintaining the Waterworks Park, were eliminated.

The purpose of this fund was to provide money to pay for any improvements made by the Recreation Commission in case the waterworks should determine to repossess the tract before the lease terminates. Councilman Charles O. Rose pointed out that this, over a period of 10 years, would tie up $60,000 of waterworks funds and that the money probably never would be used. TAXI HEARING FRIDAY.

Wet -members of the Judiciary Committee staved off an effort to reduce the alcoholic content permitted in the bill to two per cent. The measure now goes to the Senate Finance Committee, which is to consider the revenue provisions of the bill.

The House bill provides for levying a tax of $5 a barrel. As soon as the report was filed, Senator Borah introduced an amendment to levy an excess profits tax, ranging from 10 to 30 per cent, on brewers of beer. The amendment was gent to the Finance Committee with the bill.

It was offered by Senator Tom Bratton, of New Mexico, a Democrat. The vote on reporting the bill favorably was: For The Bill Senators John J. Blaine. Wisconsin; Felix Hebert. Rhode Island; Karl Schuyler, Colorado, and George W.

Norris, Nebraska. Republicans and Henrv 5V Ashurst, Arizona; Thomas J.Walsh, Montana; William H. King, Utah, and Clarence C. Dill, Washington, Democrats. Against The Bill Senators William E.

Neely, West Virginia, Democrats. Three members of the committee were absent Senators Thomas D. Schall, Minnesota, Republican, and Hubert Stephens, Mississippi, and Hugo Black, Alabama, Democrats. The Borah amendment not only prohibits the sale of 3.05 per cent heveragfis to minors, but also prohibits giving it to minors. It is extremely doubtful whether the senate will vote on the measure In this session, and even more dov.btful that the two branches of Congress will be able to iron out the essential differences between the two bills.

If, however, they should enact a beer bill in this session along the linesplther of the Senate or the House Bill, or a compromise of both, it is believed cer tain that President Hoover would veto it. And it is not likely that enough votes would be mustered In the Senate to pass the bill over the President's veto. Indications now are that both repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and modification of the Volstead Act will be carried over for the Incoming administration and incoming Congress to deal with.

Washington, January 23 (AP) One man is going to be "on the spot" under the Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution, and that is the Vice President of the United States.

His duties will involve presiding over the first two weeks of the next administration's Senate, since his term will not ex pire until the 20th of January and the Senate's begins on January 3.

Warm Springs, January 23 (AP) News that the constitutional amendment abolishing "lame duck" sessions of Congress had been rati fied by the required 36 states brought an expression of satisfaction today from President-Elect Roosevelt. "That makes me very happy," he told newspapermen, "because the State of New York was the first legally to ratify the amendment. Virginia stole the march on us and ratified it before receiving the official resolution from the Secretary of State. We waited for receipt of that resolution."
