RIVERS AND HARBORS
REPORT IS FAVORED
ST. 900, 900 Authorization Adopted
in House by 276
to 80.

BY the Associated Press
BY a vote of 2So to 80 the House
yesterday adopted the conference re-
port on the ST., 200, 900 rivers and har-
bors authorizations bill. 1t provides
for purchase of the Cape Cod Canal,
improvement of the Illinois and upper
Missouri Rivers and for work on a
number of other projects in all sec
tons of the country.
Adoption of the report precipitated
a discussion over whether House ac-
ton constituted final action by Con-
gress. One group held the report still
must be approved by the Senate be-
fore it could be sent to the President.
Representative Tilson. the Republican
leader, held this opinion, as did Lehy
Fess. the House parliamentarian.
Another group contended that mas
much as the House had approved with
out change all Senate amendments to
the measure. further action by that
body was unnecessary. Senator Jones.
Republican, Washington, chairman of
the Senate conferees, said that his
view was that Senate action was un-
necessary, and that if Speaker Long
worth would sign the. enrolled BILL he
had no doubt that Vice President
Dawes would attach his signature
without Senate action.
