to the senate for consideration, once
the arms conference mas concluded its
work.
For the first time, house and senate
will deal with the measures supply
ing money for all governmental
functions in budget form. They are

the program laid down by Chairman
Madden of the house appropriations
committee, a money bill would be
put through the house each week I'M
til all are turned over to the senate.
The senate will begin work with
three agreements respecting impor-
tant matters pending on its legisla-
tive calendar. The first of these, the
resolution declaring Truman H.
Newberry, Republican, to be the duly
elected senator from Michigan. is due
to be acted on early next week. Con-
sideration of the Newberry case must
begin Saturday under the agreement
While on Tuesday debate is limited to
one hour for each senator until a
vote is reached.

until January Il, when there must
be a vote on PROPOSALS to amend the

pointment, at the next vacancy, of a
representative of the farmers to the
federal reserve board.
While the senate is disposing OF
these three propositions its finance
committee expects to conclude hear
ings on the permanent tariff bill.
Acting Chairman McCumber an
nounced today that the tariff propos-
ais of the farm bloc of the senate
would be heard Thursday. Represen

Republican leader was not certain
tonight whether that could be done
in the face of the regular "Wednesday
