C.y THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1938 BUSXXZSS FHOHZ 4JJ4 NUMBER 85 Wor Id News e By Jim McAden SOUTHERN SENATORS BLOCK LYNCH BILL Washington, Jan. 19. With southern senators continuing their twelfth day of filibuster ing, senate leaders gave up hope fnr immediate action on the anti-lynching bill. As the southerners showed no signs of stopping the filibuster, administration spokesmen ad mitted that the present legisla tive program featuring the gov ernment reorganization bill and other Roosevelt proposals would be indefinitely delayed. Although administration lead ers threatened to wear down the speakers by calling night ses sions, Democratic leader Bark ley stated that none would be held this week. In order to prevent dilly-dallying by the southern statesmen, Senator Clark (D-Mo.) said that he would demand a more strict enforcement of debate rules, which prevent any senator from speaking more than twice a day on the same bill. In answer to these threats, Senator Ellender (D-La.), who has held the floor since last Fri day, said, "I could keep going for a week if I wanted to."

Japanese are unable to consolidate their con quered areas of North China and Shanghai because of the stubborn defense put up by Chi nese. Severe cold, however, did not prevent the invaders from land ing 10,000 men, a supply of mu nitions and artillery, and horses and tanks at Tsingtao.
