 The average Senator and Represen- tatlve does not relish the idea that there will be no general provision made for the rivers and harbors this session. It may happen that pressure will be brought to bear on the House Committee to at least prepare meas ure and have It's contents go to the public so that the people may know what may be expected at the next ses- sion.
 There has been some talk of a com bination to force matters. but this is not likely to be done if the Republican leaders stick to the idea of preventing the preparation of bill,
