DAM BILL HELD
BY FIGHTS IN
HOUSE

Dissension among House leaders
today prevented consideration of the
hard.fought Boulder Canyon dam
and congressional reaportionment
measures while minor bills were
given the legislative right-of-way.
With the legislative calendar a
blank. the House Rules Committee
called up bill authorizing an APP
preparation to fight the pink boil
worm in Texas and another to pro-
mote the White House physician
from major to colonel.
The action of the COMMITTEES was
a singing blow to hackers Of the
Swing-Johnson bill for the building
of Boulder Canyon dam. They had
confidently looked forward to get
ting consideration on the measure.
designed 10 protect the Imperial
Valley of California from floods.
Advocates OF the Fem reappor-
tionment bill. who are clamorin2 for
action, also were disa pointed at the
delay in action on this measure,
fearing that the delay will bring
about its defeat.
Attitude Hostile
Speaker Longworth and Repre-
sentative Tilson Of Connecticut, Re-
publican floor leader. both have de-
manded action on the reappoftlon-
ment bill and have under sconsldefa-
ton petitions for consideration OF
the Boulder dam bill. The House
Rules Committee, headed by Rep
resentatiye Smell CR) of New york.
one Of the "big four Of the House,
has thus far indicated a hostile
attitude on both pieces of legisla-
ton.
showdown was possible today
when leaders called the Steering
Committee into session to plan the
business of the House next week:
Rackers of both of the ignored
measures were bombarding the
leaders with demands for places on
the calendar.
Swing Optimistic
Representative Swing Ro OF
California. co.author of the Swing
johnson bill, was optimistic over
the chances of the Boulder Dam
hill. while Majority Leader Tilson
declined to give an encouragement
in answer to questions from the
floor.
Although Boulder Dam legislation
has been endorsed by President
Coolidge, four-year fight has thus
far failed to get it to vote IN
the House. Pilots of the bill won
their plea for a special rule last
year in the closing hours of the
session when it was considered
futile to- seek a. vote.
Representative Fem (R) of Con-
necticut, chairman of the Census
Committee, is leading the fight for
action on the reapportionment bill,
under which the membership OF
Congress would be based upon the
1880 census. Estimates of experts
that II States would lose members
in Congress under the bill has
aroused storm Of opposition from
| the Middle West and Southern
| delega tons.
Speaker IOngworth has urged
! passage of the bill on the ground
| that the Constitution requires a
reapportionment every 10 years. The
last reapportiOnment was in 1911,
and unless the bill is passed, Fem
| declares that the Constitution will
be abrogated by the House for the
first time in $50 years.

FINAL VOTE ON
TAX GUT BILL
IS NEAR

In the face of a lack of interest.
that has nearly assumed filibuster
proportions, administration leaders
today were hoping against hope for
flnal vote in the Senate before
nightfall on the $20S,O0O,00O tax
reduction bill.
With enactment of the administra-
tons bill assured through Repub-
lican.Insurgent coalition, Senators
on both sides of the chamber
blocked action on the bill day after
day by defeating political subjects
and making speeches on topics
other than taxation. The extraneous
speeches, consuming hours of time,
prevented consideration of the cor
poration and surtag rates on four
successive days.
Coalition Insures Enactment
Final action on the corporation
and surtax rates will be followed
by passage OF the bill. as all other
undetermined rates of minor i'm
portance or not subject to partisan
controversy.
Although the Democrats have
proposed heavier reductions of both
these taxes, the coalition insured
enactment of the administration s
recommendations.
After two weeks Of debate, only
four controversial rates were fixed.
although -" new administrative fea-
lures were determined. A number
of other rate were approved be-
cause both Republicans and Demo,

tons.
