Borah C.anvasses
Senate for Bitter
Disarmament Fight
Expects Solid Democratic
support; Debate Threat
ems to Tear Subject of For
eign Relations Wide Open

From The Tribune's Washington BaYeau
WASHINGTON, May 5.-~With the re-
port of the naval appropriations bill to
the Senate by Senator Poindexter, act
ing chairman of the Naval Committee,
to-day there were evidences of keen in
terest in the approaching discussion
! over the bill and over the disarmament
question in connection with it, Sem
ator Poindexter said tina. IN view of the
request of the President to be left with
"a free hand, he did nor rnink Congress
would seek to embarrass him. He
added:
There is, Of course, an oyerwhelm-
ing feeling IN the Senate that every
possible effort should be made to bring
about an agreement for a limitation Of
armament. That has been demonstrate
ed in the vote on the naval bill in the
last session.
"This feeling exists, not because it
Is expected that men will cease to con-
tend and differ and fight whether they
have battleships and pistols or bows
and arrows, but because relative and
fair reduction in expensive armaments
would be economical and sensible.
"The negotiations with foreign ma
| tions as to the terms of such an ar
rangement are vested by the Constitu-
ton in the President He undoubtedly
will take steps leading to such nego-
tiations. What will come out Of them
no one, of course, can tell, and the in
terests of the United States must be
protected, and cannot be sacrificed in
any such agreement.
Il do not think that in the face of
the request of the President that he
be left free hand in the exercise of
his constitutional authority in this
matter Congress will seek to interfere
with him or to embarrass him in any
way"
On the other hand, Senator Borah,
who is leading the fight for the dis
armament amendment, has been cam
vassing the situation in the Senate. He
expressed confidence to-day that his
amendment would be adopted. He ex-
poets the support of the entire Demo-
cratic side and of enough Republicans
to command q majority.
All indications are that the contro-
versy will be heated and, perhaps, pro-
tracted. The disarmament amendment
will lead to discussion of the coun-
try's international relations. The need
for economy will be stressed by those
who oppose the Senate committees in
creases in the bill.
When Senator Poindexter reported
the bill to-day Senator King, of Utah,
Democrat, gave notice he would file a
minority report against it.

House Passes Budget
Bill, Agreement Near
Measure Expected To Be Signed
to Govern Operations of
Next Fiscal Year
From The Tribune's Wushinoto,s 3,

FROM me Irsb1ne's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May S. With the
passage to-day by the House of the
Good budget bill completion Of the
enactment of the legislation to estab-
hsh bureau of the budget and gem
erai accounting offi"e for handling all
governmental appropriations and ex-
pendltures is but few days distant.
"A similar measure has been passed
by the Senate. 1t differs somewhat
from the bill approved by the House,
but Chairman Good, of the Committee
on Appropriations, author of the meas
ure, declared the differences would be
smoothed out without difficulty in con-
ference. 1t will then be ready for the
Presidents signature and the next
fiscal year, beginning July 1, will op-
crate under the new system.
Under the Senate bill the bureau of
the budget would be a part of the
Treasury Department, while the House
seeks to have it q separate bureau,
directly under the President. This is
the principal difference between the
two measures. Another difference is
in the clauses providing for the possi-
BILE removal of the proposed Conn
tro1ier General. The House bill would
permit his removal only by joint action
Of the two houses of Congress, white
the Senate measure would also neces-
state the assent of the President.
The Democratic side made several
attacks to-day on some of the features
Of the bill, but the strongest opposition
centered about the tenure of Office of
the Comptroller General. Several mem
bers insisted the official should be
named for term of seven years, but

Ants Threatening
 Destruction of q
 $1OO,OOO Building
Rr Ansoointed Presr

Wichita, Kans.. June s.-Hordes ot ants, driving upward, from the earth through mud and tubes, are threat ening destruction to the s1o0,000 Ex- change building at the stock yards here. Oaken lumber stored under the building has been practically con. sumed, and tho ants have driven their way up along pipe lines to the woodwork of the west end of the structure, which they have tunneled as far as the second floor.
 Washington entomologists have identified the ravaging visitors as an Australian or South American ant which drives in armies, over whelming in time any wood struc- ture in it's path. The cattle at the stock yards seem to be free of att tacks.
 An attempt to stop activities of the pests by placing flypaper in their path was frustrated when the ants built dirt bridge across the ob- struction and continued their opera ions. By insulation and shutting off the ants return to the ground, it is hoped that the army can be ex- terminated.
