WASHINGTON, May 13-Chairman Hull,
of the House military committee has as
sured Representative Overstreet that he
will ask that the Senate amendment TO
the army appropriation bill, providing for
the disposition of abandoned arsenals and
the purchase of more ground near the
cities where the arsenals are now located
be concurred in by the House. This will
save the amendment being sent to the con-
ference committee. 1t may happen, how
ever, that some member will make objec-
tion TO excluding a portion of the Senate
amendments from the conference commit
tee, in which case it would be necessary
for the chairman to submit to having the
entire bill sent TO the conference. Repre-
sentative Overstreet thinks, however, that
no such objections will be made He has
been at work on the matter and has so far
found no members who will offer objection
to the amendment. Chairman Hull made
a very frank statement to the effect that it
was the intention TO strike out the amend
ment, but inasmuch as Mr.. Overstreet was
so deeply interested in it he would consent
to have 1T remain in the bill.
