think that other places have reasona BILE

''our subcommittee he said this evening,

ommend se5.c0 for the building. the people

The report Of the subcommittee, how
ever, does not decide the matter in any
case. The full committee then will get
down TO the business of sitting out the least
deserving. allotting the total number to be
allowed each State and fixing the amount
of appropriation. Even after this the bill
must be acted upon in the House. and, after
