THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1931 Extra Session Threat Appears In Walsh Move Montana Democrat Revives Controversial World Court Issue by Requesting That Decision to Defer Action Until Next December Be Reconsidered Reply Is Postponed WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 -The controversial World court issue emerged today from brief period of slumber to thrust itself again into the senate picture. It was revived by a request from Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, that the decision to defer action until next December be reconsidered. Later, the senate foreign relations committee which had voted postponement, agreed next Wednesday to hear Elihu Root, who helped to draft the modified proposal for American adherence. It had previously been decided to hear the noted jurist at some future time.

Senator Walsh was absent when the committee voted ten to nine to defer consideration. He agreed, however, there was no opportunity for action at this session although he is opposed to the postponement motion. Postponement Qualified Assurances were given by committee members that if extra session of the new congress is called, the postponement until December would not be binding. The request of Senator Walsh put over until next week. was.

Walsh been recorded on the postponement motion, it would have lost on a tie vote. However, he can not force reconsideration, but in view of the situation, he was confident he be given a chance to record his opposition. Considerable interest attaches the prospective examination of Mr. Root. Chairman Borah said this hearing would be in open session.

Redrafted Rules After the other refused to accept a senate reservation to American adherence, Elihu Root with a committee of international jurists redrafted the court rules in an attempt to reconcile the senate's position with that of the other powers. Meanwhile, the senate foes of the World court were looking for a statement from President Hoover that he would not call the senate alone into special session for consideration of the court. troTher, has forces been a that strong the drive intimation to avoid an extra session of the whole congress will be hard to carry through successfully if such assurance is not forthcoming. Congress Passes Relief Measure (Continued from First Page) extra session for the bill carries funds for next year's operation of the agriculture department. Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, just before the conference report was agreed to, took the administration to task.

Hits Administration Policy "The issue, after all," he said, "is who is going to pay the bill of relief. The administration has closed the treasury doors and said they are not going to pay it. The administration is for exempting the large income tax payers and the corporations from paying a dollar, and on the backs of the small property owners will be placed increased taxes for relief." Chairman Jones of the appropriations committee in moving recession on the food lean provision, said: "The more quickly we get the 000,000 appropriation, the more quickly relief will start." The senate also receded from the amendment of Senator Black, Democrat, Alabama, to the emergency appropriation measure providing that no geographical restrictions shall be observed in the drought regions in administering the loans. Senator Jones said he understood the department of a agriculture did not intend cbserve any geographical limitations. However, Senator Heflin, Democrat, Alabama, introduced a resolution to have the senate declare itself against such limitations.

No Limitations on Fund The $25,000,000 proposal of Robinson and Black would place no limitation upon the use of the money by the Red Cross. It reads: "There is hereby appropriated the sum of $25,000,000 to be by the Red Cross for the purpose of supplying food to persons otherwise unable to procure the Senator Gillett of Massachusetts, was the lone Republican to strike back in the senate debate in defense cf the Hoover policy. He said both the president and the Red Cross had given assurance it could meet the situation. He took the proponents of additional relief to task for setting themselves up as more generous than the administration. He praised the president's record as a relief, administration.

Senator Barkley, Democrat, Kentucky, recalled that the government in 1914 made an appropriation for relief of the town of Salem, when it was swept by fire. He said Gillett was a member of the house then. Gillett insisted, however, 'that he had not supported that appropriation but in response to Barkley he agreed that he had not voted against it. During the roar of debate, Senator Robinson demanded an apology from Representatives Fish of New York, and Wood cf Indiana, Republicans, for their statements that Communists were responsible for the food riot at England, Arkansas, recently. He demanded that they elther give the public the basis for their contentions or make an apology.

He added he had investigated the England disturbance and he denied that Communists aggravated it. BREWERY OPERATOR CONVICTED BY JURY HARRISBURG, Jan. 14 -Allen J.
