HOUSE TURNS DOWN
S15O,OOO FOR HELIUM
Knocks Out Amendment Fa-
voring Appropriation by
Two to One Vote.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Without a
record vote the House to-day passed
and sent to the Senate bill appropriat-
ing approximately $10S,000,000 to meet
deficiencies of Government departments
The largest item carried in the measure
is SIS, 900, 900 for the Veterans Bureau.
A provision which would limit TO
$6300,000 the amount the Navy Depart
ment would spend for fuel during the
next four months remained In the Dill.
One of the few amendments adopted
increased the total for the enforcement
Of the maternity act during the re-
mainder of the current fiscal year from
s370,O00 to 100000 The bill also
carries S5,000.00o for the first payment
to the Republic of Colombia under the
treaty settling the Panama Canal con-
troversy.
With less than 100 members on the
floor an amendment which would have
made s150,000 available for the develop
ment of helium with a view to using 1t
to fill dirigibles, was rejected by two
to one vote. The amendment was of
fered by Representative Lanham (Dem.,
Tex). The recent Roma disaster never
would have occurred, Mr.. Lanham de-
clared, If the airship had been filed
with helum instead of hydrogen
The helium plant at Wort Worth, said
to be the only one in the world capable
of producing the gas in large quantities,
has been closed since November 80, Mr..
Lanham said, because funds have not
been available to continue operations.
Mr.. Madden opposed the amendment
on the ground that the subcommittee
drafting the army appropriation bill was
making an investigation to determine
what appropriation should be made for
helium development
Chairman Anthony of the sub-commit-
tee which is studying the heliuu situa-
ticn said more than $10.000,000 had
been expended since the beginning of
the war in experiments with the gas
and in developing the plant at Fort
Worth.
Mr.. Anthony's estimate that it would
have cost S1.200.000 to have filled the
Roma with helium was challenged by
Mr.. Lanham, who declared the cost
would not have been more than $216,000.
