Major Importance

Washington. June 4-(AP)-The

bors bill was passed today by the
mouse and sent To the senate.

~ came through the deciding roll call

the fighting items. including the ILL.,
nois river project, the all-American
canal survey for New York state, pur.
chase Of the Cape Cod canal, and an
authorization for survey Of the upper
