Pension Bill May
 Prevent Provision For HarbOr Demands
Especial to The Farmer)

Washington. D.. C.. Jan. S-oscar Underwood, floor leader of the House committee, is not at all sure that river and harbor legislation will be undertaken at this session. He pre- dicates his doubt on the fact that there is now an estimated deficit in the treasury for this fiscal year of SIS, 000, ,000-and on the recent Iegis1a- tion affecting pensions. He frankly says that if the Sherwood Bill, as passed by the House. if permitted to stand, it would so cripple the treasury that no new projects or expenditures buildings and rivers and harbers to another session, except for projects already under continuing contracts.
