VETS HAPPY
over BIG sum
INSENATEACT
Upper House Displays
Tendency to Rush
Through Its Pro-
gram of Work

WASHINGTON, Dec. IT'D
The senate went TO work today with
some Of its members. particularly
the vets. still c~huckling over an
event OF yesterday.
The treasury-postoffice appropri-
alton bill had already passed. when
Senator Bruce, democrat, Maryland,
proposed an amendment raising the
funds for liquor law enforcement
from sl3 SOC, 900 to s270,627 1884. It
was accepted. apparently few know
ing what had happened. When the
realization came the vets laughed
and the drys took comfort in the be-
lief that the Bruce addition would
be stricken out in conference. since
the added apportionment would up
set the governments fiscal program
If il went through.
The senate began this sessions
legislation in lamb-like fashion. but
it may sweep through it's program
like a lion before adjournment
comes. The treasury-postofficc bill
has been disposed Of handily and
Boulder Dam has succumbcd to
amendments and compromises until
the vote on IL was looked upon as an
assured thing.
The house also was nearing n
vote on the second Of the a~ppropria-
tion bills. that providing funds for
the interior department and the az
rjcultural department appropriation
bill has been whipped into shape un-
til IL was about ready for the floor.
Two senate committee hearings
commanded attention today. One was
on the kellogg-Briand treaty BY the
foreign relations committee. The
other, whihc began as the consider
alton Of the nomination Of Roy o.
West. secretary OF the interior. had
branched off into what rcsembled
another oil inquiry. Beginning with
questions asked West about the re-
newal OF the Salt Greek royalty oil
lease to Harry +. Sinclair. the COM
mittee later called Or. Hubert Work,
secretary OF the interior when the
c%ontactr was renewed, and today
William j. Donovan. an assistant
attorney general. had been sum
moncd to testify.
The senate foreign relations COM
mittee has had two brief hearings on
the kellogg-Briand pact and began
the third with the prospect that res
ervations might be offered.
