The magazines are now carried re-

Mr.. Hitchcock that the reading matter
should continue to be carried for one

IN some magazines Is twice the weight
"f reading matter, should pay four
cents a pound.
Senator Carter. it is understood. tonk
the position that such an amendment,
ii incorporated in the bill BY the com

or order that 1t was new legislation.

at this point that Vice President Sher-
