PRICE 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.

A demand for ransom coupled with a thteat of injury blonde, rosy-cheeked baby of 20 months was met with a wil to pay by the famous flier. The known facts were limited to knowledge that a kid left behind on the window sill of the baby's nursery had ca a substantial sum. Reports that the figure was $50,000 v denied. Two New York newspapers (Sun and Daily News) p reports that Arthur Springer, secretary to the infant's gran the late Sen. Dwight Morrow, and Douglas G.

The strict secrecy with which the ransom note was gave rise to a belief that harm also was threatened the a child, who had been ill with a cold, should the details of the demand be divulged. Both the colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh, who is understoi expecting a second child this spring, took leading parts in th that affected them most. Col. Lindbergh requested Gov. A Moore to withhold postinig of a reward which first was su for $10,000 and later $25,000. In Philadelphia, officers were trying to trace a teleph made to the city desk of a newspaper by a man who said: "You may say that the Lindbergh child is being carec a trained nurse. That's all," and hung up. The most dramatic moment of the day came when Mr bergh, pale, slim daughter of the late Senator Dwight W. made an appeal to the abductors to give proper care to the li Through the press she outlined the baby's diet in detail.

FOR TS OFWOO9SUNG 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.
