Stricken From Measure

Provision for the refurbishing of

and the summer White House at a
cost of S4S,000 has been stricken
from the second deficiency bill on
the floor of the House by point Of
order made by Representative F. H.

The estimate covering this item
was sent to Congress by President

provision constituted new legislation

$4,000 item covering pay from March
