Senators seek broadened anti lynching bill to cover gang violence
Washington reporters say Southern and other senators urged expanding the anti lynching measure to include gangsters and racketeering. Senator Russell of Georgia and Senator McKellar of Tennessee prepared amendments to bring organized crime within the bill’s reach. They argue crime cannot be effectively tackled by addressing only lynching. The Senate debates continued with no votes on amendments as a broader crime scope and related budget veto authority discussed.

The Indiana Supreme Court upheld a 1852 law requiring marriage licenses to be issued only by the county clerk where the female resides, closing the Gretna Greens and striking a death blow to northern and eastern Indiana marriage mills. The ruling urges strict enforcement and places marriage regulation on a higher plane, while noting past nonresident marriages are not adjudicated.

Negotiations on Pact Halt Between Italy and United States
Washington reports negotiations for a wads treaty between Italy and the United States have been suspended amid Italian objections to Secretary Hull acknowledging Victor Emmanuel as emperor of Ethiopia. Mussolini rejected wording to avoid implying U S recognition of Italy’s Ethiopian empire, with a stalemate likely lasting months. Trade relations would ride on an extension of the prior Italo American treaty. Hull also announced hearings for a reciprocal trade pact with Turkey to start February 23, with briefs due February 9. U S aims to expand machinery sales and reduce Turkey’s reliance on Germany, which last year accounted for 45 percent of Turkey’s imports while the United States had about 10 percent.
