HOUSE DELAYS ACTION;
NAVY WITHOUT FUNDS
rRv Associated PresO

WASHINGTON, July beginning
of the new fiscal year today found the
senate and house still deadlocked on
the annual naval appropriation bill
and the navy technically without funds
to carry on" Senate leaders yester-
day deided to accept the house reduc-
tons in the bill, but prospects for an
immediate settlement faded when they
later experienced a change of heart
and decided to bring the whole matter
to the floor of the senate today.
With the result of this move in
doubt, leaders of both houses were
prepared to resort to an emergency
resolution continuing appropriations of
the fiscal year ending last midnight
Senate opposition to the house
changes was confined chiefly to two
items. One was the elimination of
all provisions for airplane carers and
the other an amendment broadening
the navy retirement law so as to ex-
tend regular retirement pay and
privileges to enlisted men as well as
officers of the reserve corps.

enemy countries. According to ad.
n1inistration officials. however. no
definite plans have been made as to
the means by which the relations will
be restored. President Harding. it
was added, was feeling his way in
working out the details of peace and
many steps remained TO be taken be-
fore full intercourse could be restored.

dingy old second class car which
would take him through to the Bolsh-

man, who spoke with more or less ac-
curacy IL languages and for whom
the Bolsheviki legation here asked for

The luxurious sleeping car usually
provided for Bolsheviki diplomats on
the trip from Riga to Moscow and in
which distinguished guests of the
soviet government have been taken to

which Senator France left had a ca

from the other IA cars on the trair
