tfcn on Currency Bill.

erally to-day as to what would occur
when the Senate committee resumed

Tho freedom with which Democratic

a plan might yet be adopted by the
administration supporters in order to
prevent radical changes In tho bill by
the committee.
Chairman Owen said after n confer
ence Mt the White House that a re-
port would be forthcoming In few
days. Senator's Thomas and Overman

he VIII feel stimulated to urge with
renewed vlgor early action on tho
House bill. In these States, currency
and other national issues have figured
prominently.
The President mado it plain to-day
that he would stand by the bill as 1t
passed the House, and would not con-
sent TO any changes in fundamentals
