Many Philadelphia Citizens Would

Some Philadelphians of sentimental

II is not age that gives flavor to the

struck out everything after the en-
acting clause of this bill and substi-
tuted one known as the administration
measure. That administration meas
ure dragged its way slowly through
tho house of representatives meeting
good deal of commendation. and
1nally passed by an almost unani-
nous vote. Is Il not strange that a
bill having such a preponderance OF
support in the house OF representa-
tives should occupy so much time?
The bill has now been returned 10 the
senate, but /: is far from being COM
pieted and Il will probably take weeks
and months OF conference before II
finally reaches the president
The other bill Is one of the so-callcd
emergency measures" One would
suppose that an emergency measure
should be speeded up, but not so with
the agricultural survey bill which pro-
vided for the expenditure of large
amount of money TO encourage the
growth of crops for war purposes.
That bill has been on the ways some
thing like four months. Ii had hard
time in the house, but In the senate II
was stalled for several months and
finally emerged from that body with
a nationwide prohibition amendment
attached. This is another bill that
passed the senate almost unanimous
