House Refuses to
Suspend Rules For
Indian Aid Measure

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The house
today refused to suspend it's rules and
PASS a bill authorizing an oppropria-
ton OF 100000 for the purchase of
food, clothing and other supplies for
destitute Indians. With a two-thirds
vote required for suspension of rules
a motion to pass the bill by this
method was lost, the vote being '154
for to 104 against the proposal.
Opposing the proposed appropria-
tion, Representative Ridiick, nepup-
iican. Montana, declared he personally
had investigated the situation at the
Blackfeet reservation in Monana
where the Indian service had reported
the situation especially bad, and
found there was no need for govern
ment relief.
President Harding, forwarding a re-
quest recently from the interior de-
partment for funds to relieve destitu-
ton on 30 Indian reservations. urged
prompt action. A sum of s155, 900 was
asked, but this was cut by the house
appropriations committee in favor
ably reporting the resolution.
Proponents Of the measure said
they planned to bring it up shortly
under rule which would require
only a majority vote for passage.
