COMMITTEE BARS
PACKER CHANGES
Attempts to Amend Bill Fails.
Slow Progress Is Be

opponents OF the GrOnna bill for
regulation OF the packing industry
were put to rout in the House Agri-
cultural Committee yesterday.
Supporters of the legislation first
defeated the expected effort to have
the committee hold hearings for five
days. This delay. they Contended
would kill the measure for this
Congress and cause the entire fight
to be made over again. They also
successfully resisted every move ia
amend the bill as it passed the
Senate.
Feeling ran high in the committee
and slow progress was made in
reading the bill. At adjournment
only four of the twenty-six pages
had been passed over
Representative John W Rainey,
Democrat, Of Illinois. sought to
make livestock growers ineligible
for membership on the proposed
commission. This amendment was
pending when the committee ad-
Journed until tomorrow.
Democratic members of the COM
mittee held the balance of power in
preventing hearings. The vote was
to :, with the Republicans split
six for hearings and four against.
This vote was regarded as a test
OF sentiment on the question of

Penrose would not allow it TO get
in ahead of the tariff measure. and
his sole objection thrust it aside.
He said he would not object IL he

RETURN OF ENEMY
GOODS DENOUNCED

The proposal to return German
property seized during the war was
denounced on the floor OF the Sem
ate yesterday by Senator Under
wood. of Alabama, minority leader.
we have $1,000, 900, 900 worth Of
claims by American citizens filed
with the State Department for prop
erty confiscated by the German gov
ernment and the only manner we
have for payment is out of property
held by the Alien Property Gus
tOdian," he said.
While the return, of German
owned property in this country is
being advocated nothing has been
said about reparation for the Amer
lean property ruthlessly destroyed
and confscated by Germany" the
Senator charged.
Il think it would be a tAnk piece
OF discrimination against our own
people to surrender this property"

for increasing the District water

begin the entire program at once.
Maj. Tyler would build a dam at
nam Bridge similar to the Lang
NIT project, at cost Of S25, 900 900
A second dam at Great Falls would
increase the cost to S44.42l. 900 and
both dams would be capable OF pro-
ducing 675.OO0.O0O kilowatt hours
The single dam at Chain Bridge
would produce electric power at a
cose of 7.09 mills per kilowatt hour
but with a second dam at Great
Falls, the cost would decrease to
6I5 mills per k. W. The single dam
feature would produce power about

Tyler declared that new conduit

REVOLT GROWING
ON BUDGET PLAN
Dispute May Come to Head
This Week on Army Re-
organization.

Open revolt against the new sys-
TEN in the House of concentrating
all appropriating power in one big
appropriations committee developed
yesterday.
Reublicans and Democrats alike
took the floor and denounced the
change and made it plain an effort
to restore the decentralized method
is imminent.
The controversy is expected to be
brought nearer to a head when the
army bill comes up this week.
Chairman Kahn, OF the Military Az
fairs Committee, will attack the
Appropriations Committee on a
charge of usurping his committees
authority.
Yesterdays attacks on the APP
prOpriations Committee were pro-
yoked by Republican Floor Leader
MOndell's criticism of certain mem
bers for attacks on appropriation
bills already reported out. The
diplomatic and consular bill then
was under fire and a number of
items were stricken out on points
Of order that they were not au-
thOriZed. The same thing was done
with the Indian and Agriculture
bills
Declaring bills coming from the
Appropriations Committee are re-
plete with unauthorized items, Rep
resentative Begg, Republican. of
Ohio, said he was tired of being
publicly: spanked. for making
points of order. Representative
Garner. Democrat, OF Texas. re-
called that the agreement reached
at the time the central appropria-
tiOns committee was determined
upon that no legislation would be
included in supply. measures.
The crux Of the dispute is that
under the new system, according to
its critics, the bulk Of the power
in the House is Concentrated in a
few men, resulting in legislation by
small subcommittees, rather than.
competent committees OF. sufficient
members, and that the House has
little opeortunity to exercise its own
Judgment.
