Agreement Is Sought Today
on PerpIexing Tariff Bill

With consideration of the Lon
don Naval pact postponed until
a special session following the
present regular session admins
tration leaders in the Senate
hoped to iron out the perplexing
tariff controversy today as a big
step toward adjournment of
Congress.
The tariff threatened to prove
stumbling block to early ad-
journment. It's Senate foes were
ready to make points of order
against four items in the con-
ference report, charging house
and Senate conferees with ex-
ceeding their authority in fixing
compromise rates.
Senate Vote Sought
Administration leaders wanted
Vice President Curtis to submit
these technical questions to deci-
Sions by a vote of the Senate.
since the Administration could
then win. He showed no dispo-
Sition to follow this procedure
and rurnors persisted, he would
uphold the points of order and
send the tariff bill back for an
other conference for elimination
Of the exorbitant rates.
This procedure would occasion
little delay, since the Senate has
a heavy calendar of legislation
awaiting enactment. Among the
bills to be enacted before Con-
gresS goes home-aside from the
tariff-are the $3O0,000,00O Riv-
ers and Harbors bill, the Ransdell
dill eliminating competitive bid.

sion to ratify the London Treaty.
President Hoover has approved
this program. So. too. have SEN
