SEEK TO FORCE EXTRA SESSION OF JCONGRESS Campaign Gains Ground for Summer Meeting on 'Farm Relief. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—A campaign to force an extra session of congress this summer is dominating the legislative situation as senators and representatives assemble today for the opening of the short Session of Crongxess Monday. The campaign was started by Senator Borah, leading campaigner for the Hoover - Curtis presidential ticket, and has' spread to blocs in the senate and house in the face of objections from the normal leaders. It has grown so steadily that the leaders now fear their legislative program may be interrupted so ar extra campaign will have to be called. Session May Be Forced. If they choose, the blocs can delay one or two appropriation bills and other necessary legislation vital to conduct of government business, compelling the calling of an extra session to obtain action on these left overs. Borah said he would not be a party to such a move. He informed the United Press today he would confine his activities to public speeches advocating the extra session to obtain action on farm relief. But at the same time he expressed doubts as to whether he can get a final vote on the Kellogg anti-war treaty which he believes may have to be handled in an extra session. Others following Borah may not be reluctant to take the step which would maxe the extra session necessary*. Argue Time Insufficient The rumpus started when Presi-dent-Elect Hoover announced during the campaign he would provide farm relief before the next harvest and to do this he would call an extra session if this session failed to offer the necessary relief. Now Hoover is cruising in South America, while his leaders are arguing what he meant by “adequate relief.” One side takes the view that the newly revised McNary-Haugen bill to promote co-operative marketing will meet Hoover’s demand. They are preparing to thrust this bill through in the short session, believing no extra session will be necessary. The other side led by Borah believes there can be no farm relief without stariff revision and predicts there will not be time to revise the tariff before this congress expires March. 4. THIEF AND VICTIM GET AID ON THANKSG.VING Robber Gets Money, But Stories Bring Man’s Trip Coin Back. B,y United. Press BOSTON, Nov. 30.—Louis E. Henry, 62, of Hartland, Me., found cause for Thanksgiving yesterday, despite the fact a pickpocket relieved him of $l5O, all his savings, on the eve of the holiday. Newspapers told yesterday of his plight— how he had been robbed while en route from his home town to the bedside of. his dying wife in Los Angeles. A few hours later Henry began receiving contributions. One man gave him $125. Others provided more modest sums. Last night, with a broad smile on his face and $230 in his pocket, Henry boarded a train bound for California.

SNATCHES PURSE; RUNS INTO SHERIFF’S ARMS Woman Chases Thief, Beating Man With Umbrella. Evading blows from an umbrella In the hands of the woman whose purse he is alleged to have snatched, Raymond Turner, 25, of Dayton. Ohio, ran smack into the arms of Deputy Sheriff Sam Parker near the Murat theater on Massachusetts avenue Thursday night. Turner was arrested on charges of petit larceny and vagrancy, was ordered held in default of $5,000 bond and was to be questioned today concerning the robbery of an Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company store at 124 East St. Clair street Saturday night. • Mrs. Charlotte Owings, 509 North East street, was walking on Michigan street, near Massachusetts avenue when the man seized her purse. MAN INJURED IN HOLDUP Suffering From Head Wound He Can’t Tell Where He Was Robbed. Herman Hurd, apartment 5, of 428 1 /2 East Washington street, was found in his home by the police at 10 p. m. Thursday night suffering from a wound on the side of the head. Hurd said he had been held up two hours earlier. He was unable to tell where. Hurd was sent to city hospital and is held on a vagrancy charge, while detectives investigate the manner in which he was injured. A comparison of the percentage of foreign born and native born prisoners at Sing Sing shows that foreigners are not, on the whole, more criminal than natives.

Tone Quality Wonderful and Selectivity of High Order. BY TIMES RADIO EDITOR Since starting this series of articles, we have had many requests from radio listeners regarding the new Majestic all-electric receiver, manufactured by the GrigsbyGrunow Company of Chicago, but due to the tremendous popularity of this set we had been unable to obtain a demonstrator from the local distributor. Last week W. W. Mathews of the Capitol Electric Company, local distributor of the Majestic, was able to supply one for a few days, so that we might tell you something about this new radio sensation. Contrary to many rumors that have been going the rounds regarding this set, we have been informed reliably that the six large Majestic factories are working overtime, turning out more than thirty-five hundred sets a day, and that the production will be increased shortly to about four thousand, to meet the ever-in-creasing demand. Sold in Two Models Majestic sets are offered in two models only, both of which may be termed consoles. The cabinets are of walnut finish and are designed to match the furnishings of almost any home. Both models employ the same seven-tube chassis. Popularity of this set is due greatly to the wonderful tone qualities of the Majestic dynamic power speaker and the popular price, made possible by quantity production. Tuning of the Majestic !• by a single illuminated dial with vernier and a rheostat for volume control. The set has great volume and may be adjusted from a whisper to enough volume to fill a large hall without any distortion. We found this set selective. Both local stations are tuned out within
