The fight for possession of the sector, kiioari to the Paraguayans as Nanawa and to the Bolivians as Ayaj la, was one of the most important in months of warfare in the Gran Chaco.

! JEFFERSON CITY, Mo,, Jin 23. I (IJI’I Missouii today ratified th 1 * j lame duck amendment to the federal
1 constitution.
The house of representative , meet- ; ing several hours ahead of scheduled ! time, approved a point resolution pre- ! viously passed by the senate ratifying
the amendment.
Missouri thereby won from Mas ; achusetts the honor of being the thirty-sixth state to ratify the amendI ment and make it a part of the federal constitution. Action of the Missouti house was by unanimous vote of the representa-
tives present.
H. Meredith, speaker of the
house, learned early today the Mass-
house was scheduled to
meet at 2 p. m. eastern standard time
i to ratify the amendment.
That would have given the hoimr of putting the amendment aero s to Massachusetts, since the Missouri house was not scheduled to meet un i til 2 p. m. central standard time. Meredith immediately communicated with all members of the hou-e who weie in Jefferson City and informed them that the session w uld open at
10 a. m.
Long distance calls were made to a number of representatives in near by rities, and they were told to come to Jefferson City immediately At 10 a. m. the house was called to order, and the roll call showed a quorum present. Edgar Keating, of Kan-as (Tty, Democratic floor leader, then moved j for unanimous consent to have the , session begin immediately in (■ ad of I at the time scheduled when week end 1 adjournment was taken Finlay The resolution tin n was offer d and was passed unanimously at ton| | a. m. without a record vote. Speaker Meredith instructed thd i roll call of the members present then be taken for the record and the ratifi cation shown as having been made unanimously by the vote of these
members.
