INSURANCE BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE
War Measure Goes Through by Vote
Of $50 to So After Bitter
Debate.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Follow.
ing several hours Of heated debate.
during which Majority Leader Under.
wood and Representative Leader
Mann INDUCED in unusually acrimin-
GUS language, the house late today
passed the administration war risk
insurance bill by a vote Of 230 to IS.
The UnderwoodlMan interchange OF
| personalities was one Of several en-,
Iiyened discussions of the measure.
The bill was opposed by a coterie OF
republicans who insisted legislation
was fraught with dangers Of interna.
tional complications and possible in
yasions OF neutrality laws. The house
amended the senate bill in two par
t~iculays. Fitzgerald Offering both
amendments. One requires the bill
to remain in force only two years and
in that time the government cease
writing insurance on American yes
sells and cargoes. The president Is
given discretion to continue the Blu.
reau of war risk insurance for one
year for adjustment of claims only,
The second amendment stipulates that
a director of the bureau receive So,
600 instead of $1,000 and other en-
ployes are to be named under civil
service rules. Republicans generally
refutted U~nderwood's charge that
they were "un-American'' in Opposing
the bill. On this point Mann accused
Underwood of indulging in cheap
demagogy. Underwood accused Mann
OF filibustering, and was in turn tod
by the minority leader that he uttered
an "untruth."
Mann added that 81 will not say
'falsehood' because that is unparlta-
mentary, but I regret the gentleman
from Alabama has descended to the
lowest depth Of Stiffness and nonsense
in this debate"
Underwood retorted that MAINS
statement was Cheap clap trap
Representative Mondell, Of Wyom,
ing, asserted the bill did not contain
suficient restrictions to forbid viola
lions OF neutrality laws and that the
majority is attempting to make 2 few
miserable dirty dollars out of block
AIDE runners which may involve this
neutral nation IN a serious trouble"
The bill will be sent to q conference
by the senate and house Monday.
