once the senate votes to take 1t up.
 This legislation Is not pressing. The House has not passed 1t. These birds have been flying back and forth across the continent for centuries, and a few more months will not hurt anything, when there IS legislation that ought to be enarted in the very near future.
 MT. Norbeck. Mr. President, the House passed a similar bill at the last session of Congress, but we got caught in just such a jam as this, and therefore the House will have to pass it again. The House is naturally waiting to see what the Senate will do. The Senate passed a similar bill three years ago, It is not a new matter. 1t has been before Congress and the country for four or five years. It has been before the committees, and amendments have been offered and suggested, and some features changed, but no material changes have been made.
 Mr. Dill. It needs some important amendments.
 MT. Norbeck. That is a matter of opinion.
 MT. Dill. That Is the very strong opinion l have about it. The fact re- mains that the House has not taken up this bill and has not passed it.
 The Senator from Oregon (Mr. Stanfeld) has ready for consideration the civil service retirement bill, in which hundreds and thousands of Government workers are interested. They have been demanding action, and l think the whole Congress are ready to pass legislation along that line I understand an agreement has been reached on the matter, and 1 think that bill ought to he taken up and acted on
 As l said yesterday, the radio bill is here and is pressing. Today, under the decision of Chicago court, there is nothing to prevent anybody from using any wave he wants to and de stroying all the efficiency and rela- bility of radio
 Mr. Norbeck. And we are wasting a lot of time talking.
 MT. Dill. We will waste lot more if we take up this bill. It will not be wasted if we can kill this, because it will be good service to the sports men and the game lovers of this coun- try if we can keep the Federal Gov ernment from setting up machinery under which a lot Of Federal ap- pointees will go out as game wardens
 MT. Kendrick. Mir President
 The President pro tenpore. Does the Senator from Washington yield to the Senator from Wyoming?
 MT. Dill yield
 Mir. Kendrick. Does the Senator believe it would be in the interest of economy to delay action on the bill
 MT. Dill. l do not know just what might be included in that word economy" Under this administra- tion the word ''economy' has taken on meaning that I never knew it to have before. We save at the spigot and waste at the bunghole. l am more concerned about the interests of the people who like t0 do hunting in this country, and the mere question of economy is a very small one com pared with the other questions.
 Mr. Kendrick. Does not the Sen ator believe that to delay action for a sufficient length of time will be in the interest of economy, as there will then be no birds to protect
 MT. Dill. That argument was made two or three years ago, but I notice that the birds are not being de- stroyed; 1 notice we have migratory birds and we have good hunting with out this legislation.
 MT. Kendrick. Docs not the Sen ator know that for many years the birds were gradually being destroyed and eliminated I? Even though a young man, the Senator must recall that period in which there was an annual marked decrease in the number of our migratory birds; and we have all noted the increased number of such birds as result of the protection af- forded by the migratory bird law.
