Bill Has Marks
of Filibuster
Conference Report on Army
Bill Used as Vehicle to Dc.
lay Action on Measure
in House.

Washington. Feb. 21.-A movement
having all the ear marks OF fill
buster directed against the bill pro-
posing government purchase of the
Cape Cod canal developed late today
in the house. The vehicle used by the
obstructionists was the conference re-
port on the army Appropriation bill.
which was under consideration.
The offer of Henry Ford for fhe
Muscle Shoals. tAla.) plant. was also
understood TO figure in the back
ground OF the movement which was
in full swing on both the democratic
side and in some republican delega-
tions from western states.
Roll calls and quorum calls followed
in rapid succession, TO the concern
OF republican leaders, who said the
time being given TO the army bill
report was endangering the legislative
program for the rest of the session.
The Cape Cod canal bill is due TO be
taken up soon after the army bill is
disposed Of, while the Ford Muscle
Shoals offer is still held IN commit
tee.
Program Threatened.
Consideration OF the conference re-
port was concluded before adjourn
ment, but not until there had been
eight ouorums and roll calls. which
took UP about half OF the session OF
nearly six hours.
Majority leaders said the time spent
by tho house in disposing OF this mat
ter had threatened their legislative
program for the remainder Of this
session OF congress.
1t was their plan 10 bring up the
Cape Cod bill Thursday with n special
rule. which they believed would stop
the movement begun today after
there had been several sharp conflicts
ovar disputed sections Of the army
measure.
Strong opposition 10 the Cape Cod
bill from both the democratic and re.
publican sides was forecast, but under
tho rule II would be disposed OF in a
single day. 1t then would 60 TO the
senate and some Of its opponents be-
Aeved that there had been sufficient
delay in It's consideration by the
house to make very improbable sen
ate action before March 4.
Rules Voted Out.
Aside from the Cape Cod measure.
the rules committe has voted out rules
for 10 other bills including the farm
credits legislation. In addition the
British debt settlement agreement re-
mains TO be acted upon. The man
ayers hope 10 carry out their pro
gram despite the two days spent on
the army bill. but some night ses-
slons are regarded as necessary. II
this is TO be done.
Some of the more important meas
ures which they hope to put through
are the navy omnibus bill. the post.
office omnibus bill. the Mississippi
river flood control bill. an Amendment
to the China trade act urged by secre-
tary Hoover. the measure for return TO
part OF the property OF enemy aliens
/ seized during the war and n number

he will scale them down to four

The policy recently announced
by Charles M. Babcock, state

tains that highway improvements
