FL PASO, April 2i-Information re-

Minority Leader Desires h. struction To Conferees To Allow Senate Amendment To Prevail With House
(By Review Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Apr-l 24.-Aroused by Minority Leader Mann's success on the two occasions today in keeping the army bill, as amended by the Senate. from going to conference, House leaders declared tonight that without farther delay they would force action through with the aid of special rules.
 A rule to discharge the military committee from further consideration of the army bill and to permit the speaker to appoint House conferees after debate on one motion to re-com- init will be reported by the rules committee tomorrow. Majority mem bers of the committee will suggest an hours debate on the otion.
 Following g disposal of the agree ment upon this measure, the Demo crats also decided today, the Philip pine, Porto ican and shipping bills will be brought up for passage in the order named
 This course was agreed upon. des- pite the protests of Republicans that some preparedness or appropriation measures should receive immediate consideration. Drastic rules to pro- vide for limited debate will accompa- ny all of these three administration measures with the view of having them enacted into law before the ses- sion closes. It is now planned to limit the general debate to five hours. Democrats were greatly disappointed late this afternoon when Speaker Clark sustained point of order raised by Mann on a rule designed to send the army bill to conference without an intervening motion. Immediately after the speakers ruling, Represents tive Garret of Tennessee, sought to have the rule adopted that the com mittee will report tomorrow but again Mir. Mann objected, ending de bate on the proposition for today.
 MT Mann is objecting to the bill going to conference, it is understood. in the hope that he will be able to obtain a vote to instruct the House conferees on the provisions to pro vide a regular army of 250,000 and the federal volunteer army system and nitrate plant proposals. His ob- Jections are not believed to have any thi snto do with the "flibuster" which, Democrats charge, the Republi- cans are conducting for the purpose of delaying consideration of the ad- legislative program.
 Democratic leaders declared tonight to call caucus in the Philippine bill. but set no date for it. This decision was reached after Representative Jones, chairman of the Insular Af- fairs committee. who introduced the measure. has sounded enough mem bers to convince himself that it had a good chance of passage. It still is doubtful. however, that it will be endorsed by the caucus.
