SENATE KEEPS SECRECY RULE IN NEW FORM Action Behind Closed Doors Can Be Made Public If Majority Prefers. ffrripitn-ffoirord V r*rnpaprr AlU'wctWASHINGTON. June 19.—The United States senate will repeal its roll calls and consideration of nominations and ratification of treaties only when it pleases a majority. A belated rally by Democratic and Republican opponents of complete and automatic publicity in these matters killed two separate proposals for publication in the Congressional Record of every roll call, even debates on which it was based were carried on behind closed doors. Although the hard-boiled rules committee, led by Senator Moses of Newt Hampshire, who had inspired the movement to punish the press because of publication of the Lenroot vote, acquiesced in Senator Jones’ provision for a public record of every vote, it finally was defeated. An attempt by Senator Norris of Nebraska to force the Jones plan through on the floor v.beaten, 39 to 34. In a vote that saw party lines go to smash. By a vote of 59 to 15, and later by 68 to 5, the senate adopted the amendment sponsored by Senator Robinsor of Arkansas, Democratic leader. The opponents of sweeping secrecy got behind this measure in a move to block the Jones and Norris proposals. The Robinson amendment provides that nominations shall be considered in open session unless a majority determines otherwise. It requires only a properly seconded motion for the senate to go into an executive huddle to debate and vote on whether it shall act. in public or private. The Robinson proposal permits removal of all injunctions of secrecy on both discussion and vote if a majority so decides. It also authorizes individual senators to tell how they voted, but not to divulge the debate or the action of their colleagues. But this scheme may be spoiled as long as Senator Couzens remains in the senate. Obviously disgusted with a three-hour debate in which senators professed their desire for the fullest publicity, but expressed fear that their votes might be misunderstood unless they also could explain the reasons for their action, Couzens said: *T ;want to announce that I reserve the right to say how and why I voted on any matter, regardless of what this body decides. I do not admit that the senate has any right to commit me to secrecy regarding the transaction of public business. I will abide by the senate rules when it conducts its business in the open, but not when it acts in secret.”

VOLIVA WILL OPEN DRIVE TO SAVE EUROPE People Abroad Degenerate, Says Zion Ruler After Touring 16 Nations. BY W. F. SULLIVAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. June 19.—Back from a trip in which he almost encircled | the globe, the prophet, Wilbur Glenn Voliva, is home with plans for his “new world” and a reiteration of his ; 20-year-old challenge to those who i scoff at his belief that the universe is flat. Voliva outlined his plan to “evangelize Europe.” j “I can whip any man in the j world in a mental combat,” the overseer of Zion said. Keeps Faith in Beliefs “Are you losing heart in your beliefs?” a heckler interrupted. “I should say not,” the grayhaired Zionist leader assured. Voliva. who visited sixteen countries in his latest trip, was none too complimentary in his remarks concerning his European observations. “European people are more degenerate than even the people of the United States,” he said. “I never saw such women as in Europe. Actually their eyeballs have | turned white from so much whisky. “I am just starting my new world and will evangelize Europe. Plans to Evangelize Europe “I will send my young workers over this summer to Holland, Scotland, Syria, Palestine and Egypt. They will spread my gospel and literature throughout Europe.” Asked why he didn’t establish more colonies in the United States. Voliva said: “Only a fool spreads his butter over too much bread,” Voliva retorted. /V “Do you believe in the Bible?” “I am the only man in the world who really believes in it, this is, I literally.”

Plank Walk That's What Texas Fliers Would Give Plane Stowaway.

Arthur Schreiber, stowaway on the Yellow Bird when it crossed the Atlantic, may consider himself lucky he did not attempt to stowaway on the Ft. Worth, Ryan monoplane, in which James Kelly and R. L. Robbins recently set a new' sustained flight record. Kelly and Robbins, visiting in Indianapolis, indicated they would have wasted little sympathy on any one stowing away on their plane, when they were asked their probable reaction. “I guess we would have made him walk the plank,” Robbins laughed. “Maybe we would have had our refueling ship bring us up a parachute for his ‘walk home,’ ” Kelly said.

‘Jail’ Visitors B>i United Press CHICAGO. June 19—It may be jail for Chicago's convention visitors. The old Cook county bastile. which housed many of America's worst criminals and which many a man entered never to leave again, may become a municipal auditorium.

conference, after which the chancellories concerned would take up the problem of setting a plane and date for a new’ conference aimed at •’cleaning up” the odds and ends left in the reparations problem. Observers of international affairs foresee that today's gathering will serve to create an atmosphere of understanding between the two nations bordering the Rhine. With the Young plan successfully drawn, there remain many questions which have come down as a heritage from the war and crop up repeatedly to plague relations between the two nations. The Germans, for instance, are anxious to hasten Rhineland evacuation and to have questions affecting the Saar valley clarified now.
