BILL EXPECTED
 TO AID WARRIOR
Waterways Supporters Give Tes- timony In Behalf Of Repre-
 sentative DenisOn's Measure
(wAsHINGTON BUREAU)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The Denison bill, creating a corporation. financed by the. government, for the perpetuation of the barge line projects on the Warrior and Mississippi rivers, is necessary until the interstate com merce commission can establish an equitable scheme of water and rail rates, according to testimony presented today to the House committee on com merce by residents of the Mississippi and Warrior territories.
 The idea seemed to be that the rail- roads were strangling the enterprises and the interstate commerce commits sion, despite the fact that the enter prises are enterprises of the govern ment, will take no action for their re- lief.
 The corporation provided for will be government corporation, and will be so we'll financed that the Warrior will be equipped with the barges and tow boats regarded as absolutely essential. It was argued before the committee by Alabama members of Congress and others that the bill would save the Warrior until the Warrior was able to win the case before the commission.
 John w. Weeks, secretary of war, was expected to testify today, but was prevented by business pressure, it was said. He will appear Thursday and support the bill.
 The Alabama delegation, in a great majority, supports it. Representatives Oliver and McDuffie spoke in its be- half today.
