Failure by Upper Body to Give
Ground Would Junk Supply
MeaSure-HouSe Adamant|

Whether the District budget Of
$44,000,000 is to be thrown into
the discard, or still has a chance
Of passage through extraordinary
procedure in the Senate, probably
will be known sometime today.
Senator Hira; Bingham. chair
man of the deadlocked Senate
and House conference committee,
which has held five fruitless ses-
sions, will formally report to the
Senate that it has been impoS-
Sible to reach an agreement on
the District supply bill. This re-
port was signed by all five Sena-
tor conferees late Friday, but as
there was no Saturday session Of
the upper body it's presentation
went over until today.
Unless the Senate inStructS its

unusual procedure should the Sen

Congress may establish prece-

in the passage of three pension

tins of dry law enforcement.
After two years of intermittent
warfare between vets and dryS
over the payment of damages to
victims and their survivors, the
issue approached a climax with
three measures on the House pri-
vate calendar ready for action.
With House leaders assuring
members the entire private calen-
dar will be called before adjourn
ment, hackers of the relief bills
confidently looked forward to
favorable action.
The three bills are:

Walthers, a young man. who was
shot near Underwood, Wash, and

BOTH BUTLER,

Coolidge Proteges to Be Call
ed in Campaign Fund Quiz;
Mass. Complains in Primary

Two political prcteges Of former
President Coolidge, who won fame
in Republican politics after win
ming millions in commerce, are
to be scrutinized by the Senate
Campaign Fund Committee, it
appeared today.
In the Bay State, William M.
Butler, former Republican ma
tional chairman, is seeking a
senatorial nomination. In New
Jersey. Dwight w. Morrow, Am
bassador to Mexico, has won the
Republican nomination and is
seeking the senatorial toga. The
campaign fund committee con-
templates initiating investigations
in both States.
Complaints From Mass.
Senator Nye (R.) of North
Dakota, chairman of the investi-
eating committee, announced he
had received numerous COM
plants about the extravagant use
of money in Massachusetts,, where
the primary will be held in Sep
tember. Nye said he felt the
complaints would justif- i.1vesti-
CATION, although he We inclined
to wait until after the primary
unless it we're shown that failure
to investigate might permit fraud.
Nye also reported Morrow and
the other New Jersey candidates
had failed to record all their
primary expenditures in the re-
turn required by law. He said,
however, there were no COM
plants of either lavish or cor
rupt use Of money by Morrow,
but that he believed an investi-
CATION was justified.
Coolidge Started Both
Both Butler and Morrow were
drawn into the political limelight
by former President Coolidge.
Butler, close personal friend of
many years standing. was named
Republican national chairman by
Mr.. Coolidge. Later, the former
President prevailed upon his
friend to accept an appointment
to the Senate when vacancy
occurred. Subsequently, Butler
was defeated when he sought to
extend his Senatorial career. Re
Gently he re-entered the lists.
Morrow. a monarch in the
banking world. was drawn into
public service by the former
President. First, Coolidge named
the banker chairman of an air.
craft investigating committee.
Later the then President ap-
pointed Morrow as ambassador to
Mexico and President Hoover re-
tanned him.
