was the adoption OF two amendments strik-
ing out of the bill the appropriation OF $lll,-
90 for the fast Southern mail and &lS.oo
for special mail facilities from Kansas City
TO Newton. Kansas. The appropriation for
the Southern mail had been fought aDnu-
ally for SIX or seven years. but has always
been retained. The increase in the appro-
prfesion for the pneumatic service from
sg25 900 to Sapo0o was knocked out by the
elimination OF the provision which fell
under a point OF order for IRE repeal OF the
law against the extension OF this service.
