No Program Of Legislation
to Press.

The makeup Of the Senate District

announced officially today following
meetings Of both republicans and
democrats in conference. Senator
Sherman Of Illinois. who heads the
committee, said today that at present

Senator Sherman is not a member of
the Senate appropriations committee,
as was Senator John Walter Smith of
Maryland, who was chairman Of the
congresses. and therefore will not
handle the District appropriation
bills on the floor. as did Senator
Smith. While the appropriations COM
mittee has not yet completed it's or
ganization by appointing subcommit-
tees to handle the various bills, it is
likely that Senator Curtis of Kansas

that its chairman is q member Of tho
minority party. is composed of the

The drive is to be extended in other
localities also. The chairman of the
local committee this morning re-

You are doing splendid work. My
hearts congratulations. The fund is
raised only about SO per cent through

goes on until Thursday evening"
