Central aesasaw E TEMPERS SHORT Bitter Personal Disagree ments Revealed Frayed Nerves As Session End Near-Carter Glass Feared WASHINGTON. Perhaps there is no better evidence of the wear and tear to which senatorial services were subjected during the past months than the heated and at times bitter personal clashes on the floor In the closing hours of the session Just passed. Violent disagreements between sen ators are nothing new1. Scarcely a day passes while they are In seaslon but that someone, somehow gets Into a tangle with a colleague. But it Is a rare occurrence for them to engage In personalities. No mat ter .how worked up thoy may become or how loud they shout at each other. there la always that feeling they have respect for one another and a courte ous demeanor. But there were times In the last few hours of this past session when those watching from the galleries had Vielr doubts. There were flareupa and clashes that made one wonder at times Just how they would end. Frayed Nerves There was a time, for example, when Joe Robinson of Arkansas turn ed on the portly bespectacled Hat field of West Virginia, shouting to him to quit Interrupting that his interruptions were "childish" and based either on Ignorance or Incom petence. Hatfield became so Incensed that he left the chamber, berating Robin- son In no uncertain terms. The West Virginia senator was trying to get an amendment to the conference re port of the relief bill, which the Democratic leader Insisted was too late. The diminutive but scrappv Carter Glass of Virginia bawled at P". fi-.ler Jim" Davis of Pennsylvania during the same afternoon in truly terrify ing fashion. Glass, feared by all when he arises In his wrath, pounced on Davis with "everything he had" for Insisting that he was prepared to stay in Washington all summer to see that congress did the right thing for the- working man. "Then why hasn't the senator got ten up here and asserted his right before?" shouted Glass. A Classic I) r bate But the classic was Jim Cozens' tle-ln with Jim Watson when he thought the Hoosler senator was try ing to pull a "parliamentary trick" on the senate. Couzens Is about as vitriolic In his speech and as merciless as any sena tor when he becomes angry. He fears no one, cares not where his shots fall. He learned the art of dressing down people In his celebrat ed controversy with "Un(-le Andy" Mellon over the matter of a fortune In tax refunds. t Watson and Vice-President Cprtls, too, felt the lash of Couzens' tongue. It found Its mark like the crack of a whip. Ragged nerves, fatigue, exaspera tion those were the reasons for the outbursts. If those senators had been forced to stay much longer wrangling as they had been doing - r months, there's no telling what might have happened. ADDIS ABABA MP) In line With his plans to "westernize" his primi tive country, Empror Untie Selassie Is trying to Introduce the modern calendar in Abyssinia. But the clergy, who are a power ful factor, are fiercely oppowd to it. Thry Insist on the retention of the present Ethiopian rnlendnr which dates from pre-Bibllcnl times. The Abyssinian yenr begins on September 10 In the Oregorlan cal endar. The months hnve thirty days esch and are named MnRknrram. Tnkemt. Hndar. Mlnlah, Geubot, Sanul, Hamle and Nns'ht. The extra five day of the year are classed as holidnvs. The Abys sinian reckoning of time Is About seven yean and eight months be hind the Gregorian calendar. The emperor also would like to Introduce the lectin alphabet Into Abyssinia replacing Amharlc charac ters. But here again the priesthood objects, because the only literature Abyssinia possesses Is a series of theological treatises written In this ancient langunR or in Oeez, which Is the ecclesiastical tongue of the country.

Borzage built his success from the first as a director of simple human Interest stories, In which a boy and a girl passed through the ordinary vicissitudes of romance, usually Into happiness. "And I regard 'A Farewell to Arms' as a great love story," he aays, "and It will be filmed aa such." The novel Is set against ft back, ground of the world war In Italy, The picture will retain that setting, but Vie camera's main intorest will be in the romance between the nurse Kath erlne and the soldier Frederick, por trayed by Helen Hayes and Gary Cooper. When Borsage, then the youngest director In the business, made "Hu moresque" a prize-winner with 1U simple mother love story, he Bet a precedent for himself. In none of his plctxires has he deviated from the "human Interest first" Idea. "Seventh Heaven," "Street Angel", and other Oaynor-Farrell films, and more recently, "Bad Olrl," all were built on the single thread of young romance. The ending of "A Farewell to Arms" of course. Is the problem. Borzag and Barney Glaze r, who wrote the script, want to keep the fade-out as It wan In the book, with tie death of Katherlne. There la son; a doubt at the studio, however, that such an ending would be popular. and the screen's fondness for happy endings is well known The final decision probably will favor two endlngs the book's version for the big cities, where for some reason picture people believe a hero Inr'a death will not be regarded aa too depressing, and a "happy ending" for the smaller towns. This has been done In many films in the Pwt, notable recently being "Hell Divers." wherein Wsllsce Beery died or lived according to the city or the theater where the picture was shown. Borrage's next Job will be to direct Mnry Plrkford In an original story by Frances Marlon. The Job has rather a historical background. When Mary's mother was alive she wanted Borzage to direct her daughter, but various con tracts of Borzage prevented. Now Mary, the desire realized, wants to shoot the first scene on her mother's birthday In September. SOVIET DESIGNS SPEED GERMAN RAIL ZEPPELIN LENINGRAD (AP)-De-Mgn of "land Zeppelin' to operate on ft special railroad between Moscow and Leningrad at more than 176 miles an hour 1ms been completed by the soviet engineer. Ciiofchovsky. Track and car together will coat about 3 000.000. The car resembles a similar ve hicle recently tested In Germany, but Is planned for greater speed. The Russian dealgn calls for motors ; fore and aft and the car would be balanced on a huge gyroscope.
