Washington. May (Pl-The house ~oday temporarily untangled itself
 from the most complex parliament tary situation in years by deciding , that it's vote yesterday against the equalization fee provision of the McNary Haugrn bill had constituted only an opening wedge against the fee machinery
 Representative Mapcs. republican, Michigan. presiding. held that the Aswell amendment designed to elum- mate the fee applied only to the first section of the bill and that other sections of the measure still must be considered by the house for amendment
 The principal fee provisions are in passed upon and as d result the house faces the necessity of again passing upon the fee.
 Representative Aswell, democrat, Louisiana. made no attempt to ap- peal from he decision of the chair.
 The moment this situation was cleared up. the house again became cntaneled in a parliamentary dispute over an attempt to offer the Ketch- ;tm- -Jonrs debenture farm bill as a substitute 10 the second section of the McNary iaugen measure. De- bate on the latter move started at once
