committee which is at work on the bill
expects to have it ready to report to
the full committee on Tuesday, and

Appropriation bills probably will
occupy the time of the house to the
exclusion of everything else if the

and diplomatic and Indian bills are on
the calendar. The bill to grant Alaska
representation in the house through a
delegate is continuing order. begin

consideration provides that it shall NOT

can be used as a stop-gap whenever
appropriation bills or other fr1,rartant
