Washington, Sept 6.-The great war
credits BILL authorizing S11.s3s, 945 $50
in bonds and certificates, passed the
House unanimously tonight. Action
by the Senate as soon as the pending
war tax bill is disposed of is planned
by administration leaders. No ma
terial amendment was added to the
bill by tie House. Representative
Moore of Pennsylvania led group Of
Republicans in a futile fight for con-
sideration of his proposal for a war
expenditures committee, which was
thrown out on point of order.
Fail to Limit Control
Every effort of Republicans to limit
the control the bill would give Sec
rotary McAdoo over the bonds and
certificates resulted in failure. The
last fight, made by Representative
Johnson of Washington, to direct the
secretary to spend at least s2.50oo00
for newspaper advertising in disposing
of the bonds was defeated overwhelm-
ingly. If the secretary desires, under
the measure, he may use some of the
S11,600,0oo appropriated for disposing
of all the bonds and certificates in
newspaper publicity.
Representative Cannon of Illinois
managed to obtain the adoption of a
committee compromise amendment to
