knotty problem OF trying to reach an
agreement on the Borah and the other
Senate amendments which carry In
creases aggregating 500. 100000 over
the naval appropriations provided by
the House.
There was no indication of what the
upshot of the conference Is likely TO
be. although the prediction was freely
made by Senators and Congressm en-
alike that the House conferees may
return to the House for further In
structions. This might give the
House Republicans supporting the
Borah proposal the opportunity 10
bring II before the House for concur
