First Controversy-
(Continued from Page 1)
Kersey of Bridgeport, a new mem-
ber, said the governor-elect had dis-
played "a high regard for the consti-
tution” and thereby had differed
from many governors of the past.
It noted O'Daniel said he would
merely make recommendations for
or against measures and would have
no spokesman In house or senate.

“In the past, much confusion,
quarrels and disagreement arose be-
tween the governor's office and the
legislature," the resolution said,
“due to the conflict of interests and
failure to observe the constitutional
prerogative of the legislature."
Many members were paying lit-
tle attention and the resolution was
shouted through without delay, but
later Representative G. C. Morris
of Greenville explained he wanted to
reconsider the action for the pur-
pose pi sending the matter to com-
mittee for study.
The session began at noon when
Secretary of State Edward Clark
rapped for order in the house and
Lieutenant Governor Walter F
Woodul of Houston banged a gavel
in the senate.
The business of organization, ex-
pected to occupy the legislature the
rest of this week, moved swiftly.
Members were administered the
oath of office by a former chief
clerk, Mrs. Louise Snow Phtnney of
Dallas.
Morse's name then was placed in
nomination by Representative G. H.

acclamation.
Senator Moore was nominated for

Diplomats theorized that whenj
Chamberlain is informed of the |
Italian terms he would be expected
to transmit them to France and ad-
vise tlie French to negotiate with
the Italians, among whom an un-
, official campaign has been conduct-
I ed for territorial concessions. French
Corsica, Tunisia. Nice. Savoy and
Djibouti have been mentioned in
ihe agitation.
French sources said Paris would
be willing to negotiate, but not un-
der threats.
Most diplomats saw little chance
of Chamberlain selling the idea of
European appeasement to Mussolini
on any other basis than the French
acceptance of Italian demands for
some temporary concession in Spain.
They explained that Mussolini
must carry through to some con-
clusion the cry for Italy's “natural
aspirations.”

ous prisoner in the 1916 San Franci sco Preparedness Day bomb case.
Culbert L. Olson, in his campaign promised a pardon. And. following his

sibility for the attack and'punish-
ment of the individuals responsible.
These Hungarian conditions for
normalizing relations along the bor-
der on which thousands of Hun-
garian troops have been assembled
and made ready for action were pre-
sented by a foreign office official to
the Czechoslovak legation in Buda-
pest, the news service said.
The Hungarian foreign office ne-
gotiator was quoted as saying, “In
view of the repeated attacks and the
fact that regular Czech troops par-
ticipated it must be assumed that
the incidents were a deliberate fea-
ture of Czech policy. Should there
be another armed assault on Hun-
garian territory from this quarter,
the invasion will not only be re-
pulsed by Hungarian troops but the
Hungarian troops will pursue across
the demarcation line into Czecho-
slovak territory.”
The Hungarian foreign office
made no comment on Informacio’s
report, but there were no contra-
dictions, officials or otherwise.
