gress to open Monday members of

On the house side, the committee
on appropriations and naval affairs
committees spent a busy day getting
flying start on the supply measures
for the session. Evidences Of activity
were apparent everywhere through
out the capital and Democratic men,
bers generally sounded as the key
note of the session, the hope that all
necessary business would be closed
by March 4 so that an extra session
to usher in the newly elected Sixty
fourth congress before December
would be unnecessary. Appropria-
ton for the bureau of navigation was
considered by the naval affairs COM
mittee, members of the committee
expressing the opinion that 1t would
be some; time before the fight over
increasing the naval program would
be reached. Estimates from the de-
