NORRIS LAMEUCK
BILL IS APPROVED
By HOUSE,..SENATE
First Constitutional Amendment
to Be Put Before States
Since 1924
SENATE CONCURS,. 73-3
Measure Has Passed Senate Six
Times Previously; Blocked*
by Representatives.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-()-
A new constitutional amendment
was put before the states today for
ratification, the first since 1924.
The Norris proposal to abolish
the "lame-duck" session of Con
gress received the Senate's final ap-
proval by 73 to 3 and was dispatch-
ed to the state department for sub-
mission to the states.
To become effective, it must be
ratified by the required 36 states
within seven years.
Beaming his satisfaction, Sena-
t6'r George W. Norris of Nebraska
saw congressional action on his
plan completed, theaHouse having
approved it yesterday.
Action today on the amendment
marked fulfillment of a nine-year
struggle during which it passed the
Senate six times previously. It was
blocked regularly, however, by the
rigid insistence of the House, then
under Republican control, upon a
definite adjournment date for Con-
gress.
Outstanding among the meas-
ures' provision is elimination of the
"short session" of Congress ex-
tending from the first Monday in
December until March 4, and the
establishment of sessions of inde-
terminate length to begin each
January 3.
At present, "lame-ducks"-mem-
bers of Congress defeated for re-
election in November-may con-
tinue to legislate throughout the
short session.
Under the amendment, members
would take up their duties on Jan.
"3-two months after their election
-instead of waiting 13 months
until the following December.

The known facts were limited to knowledge that a kid

Two New York newspapers (Sun and Daily News) p

The strict secrecy with which the ransom note was

Both the colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh, who is understoi

Chinese Army Entrenches Self
West of Shanghai; To
Make Stand.
(By the Associated Press)
Japanese forces advanced in the
wake of the Chinese army, retreat-
ing westward from Shanghai today
and said they captured the forts of
Woosung, which had been defend-
ed against their attacks for the
past month.
Beaten back by the Japanese on
the entire battlefront, the Chinese
army took up positions this morn-
ing 10 miles west of Shanghai and
prepared to make a stand.
The Chinese garrison at the Woo-
sung forts was left isolated by the
retreat.
Chinese military officials said
the mass withdrawal had been a
tactical measure made necessary
by pressure exerted from the north
by fresh reinforcements from Japan
who launched a vicious attack as
soon as they were landed on the
southern bank of the Yangtze.,
In Tokyo the cabinet encountered
opposition in its effort to obtain
authorization for a bond issue of
$7,040,000 to finance the Shanghai
campaign. The privy council, with-
holding approval of the expendif-
ture, suggested that it be cut to
$5,120,000 and it was possible that
a special session of the Diet would
prove necessary. Cabinet members
hoped to avert the special session
in order to avoid unwelcome dis-
cussions.
