BY the Associated Press.
With the House registering RAPID
progress in disposing of the regular
sheaf of departmental supply bllls,
members of the Senate today had an
opportunity to look over a legislative
program arranged by the rules com
mittee, containing a number OF meas
ures which have produced much heat
ed controversy in the past.
This program included not only the
rivers and harhors bill, which was
granted the right of way for consider
alton today. after the poison gas proto-
col was returned yesterday to the
Senate foreign relations committee.
but such measures as the GoodinS
railroad refund bill. the Capper truth
tn-fabric bill. the Swing-Johnson
Boulder Canyon Dam proposal and the
6O-vear- old French spoliation claims.

Prohibition Bills Listed.

Once these proposals are out of the
way, the rules committee decided that
two prohibition measures which un-
doubtedly will accelerate the prohibi-
ton controversy should be taken up

of the bureau of domestic and foreign
commerce.
The prohibition bills given place
on the program would elevate the
prohibition unit and the customs
service TO "A status of bureaus in the

Alien Property Up Thursday.

With it's work on the Interior De-
partment bill not quite completed
when adjournment was taken yester-
day, the House had the financial af-
fairs of two departments to consider
today, since the agriculture supply
measure was next in order in the
legislative chute. Unless unusually
speedy action permits passage of that
bill tomorrow. it will have to be put
aside Thursday for consideration, by
special arrangement, of the alien
property bill, which was reported to
the House yesterday by the ways and
means committee.
The alien property bill would pro-
vide for immediate payment of death
and injury claims of American ma
tionals awarded by the German-Ameri-
can mixed claims commission.
