EXTRA HOLIDAY
ACT MAY
PASS
Capper-McLeod Taxi Bill
and Bathing Beach Control
Measure Slated for Action

With dozens Of House mem
bers clamoring for recognition
in the closing days Of the session
It became fairly apparent today
that only three or four District
Of Columbia bills have a chance
Of passage before adjournment.
The House calendars are clogged
with private and public bills and
resolutions, and members who re-
spectively are their authors, about
to return home for the summer
campaigns, are anxious to get
action.
Bills Will Die
That scores Of bills will be left
on the calendars when the ses-
sion ends appeared inevitable to-
day. In order to expedite action
in the short time remaining the
House has broadened its rules so
that anyone recognized by the
chair may move to suspend the
rules and pass the BILL" This,
however, takes a two-thirds vote.
District bills believed to have
the best chance Of passage are
three that have already gone
through the Senate. One. the
BleaSe bill, provides al extra full
day holiday for all Government
employees in Washington on Sat
urday, July S, the day after In
dependence Day.
Taxi Bill May Pass
Another is the Capper-McLeod
measure giving the Public Utili-
ties Commission authority to re-
quire taxicab companies operat-
ing here to show their financial
responsibility by posting salts
factory bond or insurance policies.
The third Senate measure
would authorize the Office Of
Public Buildings and Grounds to
supervise and control the bath
: ing beaches Of the city during the
summer.
