OGISB IS II FAVORS f NSW YORK, Jan. 8. (AP) federal Judge Bondy ruled to day that Just because a foreign g-ovenment owns some stock in a company, that company is by no Mass accorded the immunity ex tended to a foreign soverign and his ambassador. . Tha ruling was made in con. 1 aectlen with the suit brought by the department of Justice to dis solve the alleged German and French potash monoply in the United States and to obtain an In junction against violations of thto country's anti-trust laws. The suit was begun in 1927, naming 16 de. feadants. "Tt has never been held," Judge Bendy ruled In denying the am bassador's motion, "that everyone actxag on behalf of a foreign stats enjoys-immunity from suit. A foreign soverign cannot author.

(ap) -Taut lines are being drawn in the house for a battle' over the Fezrn bill for reapportionment of the 435 representatives among the several states. The measure today was scheduled by the rules com mittee, author of the proposal, de clared after a conference with col. leagued that his measure "has the best chance of adoption of any re apportionment measure submitted in the past decade, and that the prospects for. passage were bright er than ever." Representative Rankin, Missis sippi, - ranking democrat on the house census committee, field a minority report against the mea sure, and issued a statement char acterizing the bill as "ridiculous and an unwarranted delegation of constitutional power .with the secretary of commerce now vested In the house."

Jan. 8. (AP) Final settlement of the irritating ques tion of reparations will, it was predicted in reparations commis sion circles today, come with the advent of spring. This forecast was based on the work to end fin anclal controversies between Ger many and the allies calculated it would require two montns to go over the ground again. The experts will assemble in Paris the first Monday in Febru ary, and their report ought to be due about April 1. One of the chief tasks of the experts will be to work out some scheme whereby German railroad and industrial bonds, issued as guarantees of the annual pay ments, may be made commercially negotiable. This, it was said, probably would have an effect on the final total which 'Germany must pay In order to relapse her self from all obligations to the allies. HEARS -YORK, Pa.. Jan. 8. (AP) -from a woman at whose house Judge Sherwood, presiding In the trial of John H. Blymyer, for murder of Nelson X. Rehmeyer, threw ' consternation into the ranks of the defense today when he ruled that belief ;in witchcraft, or similar "delusions" does not constitute legal insanity. . The ruling case , when the de fense , produced the first witness to establish the basis for a plea of insanity. ..Blymyer was - a leader In a cult, in which :r.e murdered man was also a practitioner, and which professed belief in the power of "hexing," or the casting of spells. . ObsceeaJon Cited Herbert B. Cohen, counsel for Blymyer, in the opening had an nounced he would prove his cli ent .insane. Blymyer he said was obscessed with a notion that - he was under a spell. The attorney introduced as the first witness Emanuel Blymyer, the. defen dant's thin and weak father. Shortly, after the examination of tne witness began, the state, ob jected on. the grounds that it was Immaterial. Cohen said he want ed to show the environment in which Blymyer had lived as a youth. - Judge Sherwood excused the Jury - and after hearing the de fense argument for the insanity plea said: Common law Unchanged 'The old English law holds that hallucinations of a defendant are not a proper defense unless such a belief would be a Justification cor taking lire. The supreme court has upheld that ruling. The burden is on the defense to show, however, that he was actually in sane and not Just suffering from delusions. - - , "It seems to the court that we will have to exclude this testf- mony unui sucn a . time as you can show the defendant knew the difference between right' and wrong at tne time of tne sup posed crime." uiymyers race too on a wor ried look, his head dropped and he bit nervously at his: finger nails.

Beck, former solicitor-general of the United States, was given a clear title today to his seat as re publican representative , from ihe first Pennsylvania district. j By a vote of 247 to 78 the house rejected a resolution to un seat him which has been reposing !in a committee pigeon hole for more than a year. A few minutes later, with a resounding chorus of ayes, it adopted another resolu tion to give him the seat. The vote was taken after almost three hours of debate over the constitutional question of whether Beck was an inhabitant of Penn sylvania at the time of his elec tion. The question was raised on the first day of last session by Representative Garrett, of Ten nessee, the democratic leader.
