Washington. D. C.--Two minority

could not be learned. Three items
were added TO the bill for the Missis-

at the behest of Senator Nelson, who
has been presiding over the commit.
tee sessions. Senator Burton is de.
cidedly averse to the Mississippi val
ley items, and it is not difficult to
guess where opposition will come from.
Senator Burton may not sign the
minority report, but in any event he
probably will attack the action of
the majority of the committee on the
| floor. The history of bills of this ma.
ture in the senate, however, is that
an appropriation once placed in a sen.

cause for great alarm among the
friends of the three big middle west.
