Washington, April 25-The house
and senate resumed debate today on
the war army bill. House leaders
hoped to reach a vote by Friday, but

existed. Many senators wanted to
express their views on the bill be-
fore conserving to vote and leaders
dislike to resort to the new rule UNI
der which debate may be limited.
Chairman Chamberlain Of the mill
tary committee expected to ascertain

ever, on an agreement to set a time
for voting.
