Sinclair pending his ap- pearance Monday under Senate subpoena with books of the Hyva corporation prevented today fur ther clash between the oil man and Chairman LaFollette and tonight it appeared that the whole matter might be passed over.
 MT. Sinclair had been expected to testify today as to operations of his various other companies and the converting of the committee found him on hand.
 Immediately after the commit tee was called to order, however, Chairman LaFollette read a state ment he had prepared reviewing the circumstances of the clash with Mr. Sinclair and concluding with the announcement that the com mittee had found it advisable in the interest of orderly and proper procedure that Mir Sinclair's testi- mony shouldsin the future be taken under the compulsion of legal pro cess and Mir.

Rx sssncintan Press

Harding, recently appointed gover nor of the federal reserve bank here, said today in an address to Boston investment brokers on the Cuban current loan of 5o,0o0000, Contin uance of the present financial policy of the Cuban government, with the success of the new loan. will place the country on permanent sound financial basis and enable it to be- come a creditor nation, he declared.

REPUBLIC FURNACES ARE PRODUCING WELL

Splendid producing records are be- ing made by the blast furnaces of the Republic Iron and Steel company. On January if, No. 1 furnace, rated 8 3O0-ton stack, produced 414 tons and there were only three grades in the production. these grades being high ones.
 The Pioneer furnaces, as they are known in. the trade, have always had a fine reputation for production and seem to be more than maintain ing it.
 The Republic company has two active stacks and a third one ready for the torch in case the company sees fit to increase it's production.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-01-20

Chairman LaFollette then invited any volunteer witnesses" other than Mir. Sinclair to take the stand and J. w. Carnes, sales manager of the Sinclair Refining company, testified briefly on technical mat ters. During MT. Carnes' testi- mony. MT. Sinclair, without a word left the committee room and soon after departed for New York. His representatives said he would be back Monday and examination later of the subpoena issued by direc- tion of Senator LaFollette led to the belief that the information sought hereunder by the commit tee would in the light of the state ment made last night by MT. Sin clair be given without protest.
 Comparison of the demands made in the subpoena with the in formation which MT. Sinclair said in his statement he would furnish, show little difference between what the committee wants and what Mir. Sinclair is willing to give.
 Because of the sight difference, if any, it was generally believed that the TOW between Chairman La Toilette and MT. Sinclair would not develop further.

OPPOSITION ROUTED
 BY WATERWAYS BLOC
By .AssQeIated Press

WAsHINGTON. Jan. ig..Routing all opposition, including the House leadership. the rivers and harbors bloc today oVerrode both the budget estimate and the appropriations com mittee and increased the waterways item in the army bill from SS7,000,000 10 S56,5S5.000 ssae-
 The vote was taken after one of the stormiest sessions of the present House. Unable to agree on time for debating the item, the House be- came impatient for a vote and the speakers, including Representative Mondeli republican Leaderrs and Chairman Madden of the appropria- stion committee were interrupted by demands for a vote from all over the House.
 The motion for the increase made by Chairman Dempsey of the rivers and harbors committee, was adopted, l52 to A, after the bloc had forced the House to shut off debate,
 Harding Ignored
 In putting over the increase the House swept aside the view of Pres dent Harding. who, according to Chairran Madden, believed s27.000, 900 or S10,000,000 less than the commit tee provided was sufficient for river projects during the next year.
 Attack on army engineers was made by MT. Mondell. who declared they had been preaching to members that sufficient funds had not been provided.
 Representative Newton. republican, Missouri, and Representative Newton, republican, Minnesota, denied the statement of Chairman Madden that Brigadier General Taylor of the army engineers had violated the law when he urged an appropriation of $56 900"
 With votes to put it through, the bloc ran rampant, shutting off de- bate. The motion by Representative Dennison, republican, Illinois, to close debate was adopted, 175 to 15. A moment later there was a siren-like scream as members, whose districts are skirted or cut by waters of some kind, let loose a volley of ayes. against which the voice of those in opposition sounded faint, and far away.
