The Urgent Deficiency Appropria-
ton Bill was passed by the House.
The total amount carried by it is
$23,664,450, or $4,000 less than
as reported by the committee. The
largest single reduction was that of
100000 in the clothing fund of
the Army
When the session was resumed,
today only a few pages of the bill
remained to be disposed of. Includ-
ed in these was provision for the
appointment of "a additional police
men for the new House Office build
ing. Chairman Tawney urged the
provision, because of the necessity
for protecting such costly govern
ment property and "of guarding
the reputation and honor of the
members"
Mr.. Mann (Ills.) opposed the pro-
vision, and it was stricken out on a
point of order after considerable
discussion.
