Note the flames and dense black smoke. Roosevelt Bodyguard Dies Suddenly at Buenos Aires Once on Insurance Seeks Benefits of U. S. Program for State BULLETIN COLUMBUS Ohio's "lame duck" legislature will be called into emergency session next Monday or Tuesday to pass an unemployment insurance bill. After a formal request by Governor Davey today for a session, house and senate leaders agreed to call their mem- bers back early next week.

The legislature will also consider revision and passage of tax laws. COLUMBUS, O. The Ohio general assembly was asked today by Governor Martin L. Davey to reconvene to take immedate action on unemployment insurance. In a formal statement, the governor pointed out that because the legislature is technically in session he does not have authority to call a special session and he therefore urged leaders of the senate and house to call their respective chambers into session.

"It is my judgment that immediate action should be taken on the subject of unemployment insurance," the governor said. "I authorized the consideration of this matter many months ago. The house passed a bill satisfactory to its membership. A sharp difference of opinion developed in the senate as to the plan that should be followed for the operation of unemployment insurance in Ohio. "I respect the opposing opinions but a situation has developed which makes this matter critical from the standpoint of Ohio.

Under the federal law any state which has not enacted its own program prior to Jan. 1, 1937, cannot receive any benefits from Continued on Page Eight Drivers' Exams Are Taken by 100 State Highway Patrolmen Hold Second Test in City Today State highway patrolmen today were examining applicants for drivers' licenses in the council chamber of city hall for the second time since the new law went into effect. Patrolman W. B. Spence, in charge of the detail of four assigned to Coshocton county, today said it was expected that more than 100 would have been examined when work ends late this afternoon.

The patrolman said 110 were examined here one month ago, when the first examination was held. "Failure to study motor vehicle laws before coming up for examination causes the largest proportion of fnilures to pass the examinations," Patrolman Spence declared, urging all applicants to study the law carefully before taking examinations. Those who fail to pass can take the examination again, he pointed out, and this complicates the work considerably, with much red tape to be gone thru in making the applicant eligible for license after passing the test. The state highway patrolmen will return to Coshocton Jan. 5 to examine another group of applicants, Patrolman Spence announced.

Patrolmen assisting in the examination here today were George Conn, J. A. Georges and A. E. Cook.

iiasis ior aiscussion 01 a possible revision of the French debt, it was said, was a total of 000,000 francs ($560,000,000) divided into 20 annual payments of 600,000,000 francs ($28,000,000) as against the annual payments of $90,000,000 under the old agreement. Such an agreement would be a consequence to the American-French-British monetary agreement which accompanied the devaluation of the French currency recently. It would be an agreement, sig nificantly, among the three great world democracies and there is no suggestion that Italy should join. But French hope was high today that if the debt agreement proved workable it would coincide with other political and economic agree- ments destined to consolidate peace and restore world commerce economic disarmament, by wnicn it might be possible to re duce tariffs and lower trade bar riers generally. The American-French agree ment was reached last night, it was said on high authority, after a long day of most secret negotia-tions by William C.

sewer project would be discontinued Dec. 6, was given city officials by George V. Long, engineer in charge of WPA in the county.
