UPPER HOUSE
|. DROPS It IN
FINAL JAM
Legislative Rush Concerned
With Fund Measures When
Senate Hurries to Action

With the soldiers bonus loan
bill disposed of for the time be-
ing, the Senate today buckled
down to clearing up its legisla-
tive slate by March 4.
But two appropriation bills re-
mained to be voted on, the naval
and second deficiency. COnsid.
Grafton of the former was to Oc-
cupy most of tOday's session.
In addition. there is the naval
construction bill, authorizing, in
part, the so-caiied treaty navy;
the oil embargo bill, and another
placing an embargo on Russian
timber exports.
In order to enact these meas.
ures, the Howell Capital "hOme
raid" bill, heading the steering
committees list of preferred legis-
latiOn, must be shunted.
Merger to Get o. K.
The nomination of Eugene
Meyer, jr., as member of the
Federal Reserve Board, on the
calendar since February 13, 1Aust
be decided before March 4 il he
hs is to continue in office. le-
spite the opposition of Serator
Brookhart (R0 of Iowa there are
sufficient votes to confirm if it
reaches a vote.
The Senate will get the Muscle
Shoals conference agreement to-
oay 1t is privileged report, so
action may be taken Immediately
unless there is a disposition to
talk against time, and Senate
leaders do not anticipate this
The Howell bill probably will
be not only sidetracked, but
buried, thus necesSitating a new
fight at the next session.
Navy Fight Planned
Senator Hale (R) of Maine,
will make strenuous efforts to
get his naval construction bill
through in the face of determined
opposition of the little navy
group, headed by Senator La
Toilette (R0 of Wisconsin.
Determined opposition also
faces the oil embargo bill, and
it's fate remained uncertain, but
whatever legislation fails, once
the appropriation bills are out
of the way, there will be no extra
session, leaders of both parties
agree.

Park Board Studies Plan
For Masonic Memorial

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission at its meet
ing today devoted the morning
session to discussion of detailed
plans for the Masonic Memorial
to be erected on the Dean estate,
which were explained by Harvey
Wiley Corbett, of New York, the
architect. He submitted a model
of proposed building and land
scaping.
The commission yesterd a y
studied two plans for further
beautifying Washington Monu-
ment grounds.
One of them, submitted by
Frederic Law OlmSted, does away
with the proposed Italian sunken
garden and consists largely of
shrubbery and flower garden de-
signs surrounding the base of the
shaft and the slopes.
Alternate Plan Given
The other, which is the design
of William A. Delano, New York
architect, calls for a formal de
sign, including the erection of a
balustrade on the west slope and
number of fills" east of the
Monument.
These designs are substitutes
for that embodied in the Nc

2-NONTH TIME
. FOR ANALYSIS
PROPOSED
Request Is Made by Utilities
Board; Pressure Condition
Corrected in Seven Districts

High pressure gas conditions,
which may have been responsible
for increased bills to consumers of
gas in the neighborhood of
Seventh and S Streets Northwest,
have been corrected.
Peoples Counsel Richmond B.
Keech today received a report
from an engineer of the Public
Utilities Commission that the
high-pressure condition was To-
Gated and corrected.
The report also asked Mr.. Keech
to watch for complaints from con-
sumers in this locality to deter
mine whether or not the pressure
condition does not return gas bills
to normalcy..
The peoples counsel was also
notified that another high-pres.
sure condition had been located
on Twenty-First Street Northwest
and has been corrected.
The Public Utilities Commission
and peoples counsel have received
more than $50 written complaints
concerning gas bills during the
past two weeks and twice that
many telephone complaints.
Gas Pressure Corrected
Announcement that gas pres
sure conditions have been cor.
rected in seven localities through
out the city, was made today by
Harry Peck, engineer Of the
Public Utilities Commission. He
listed the districts as:
Seventh and S Streets North
west, Twenty-first and N Streets
Northwest, the Wesley Heights
section, the Conduit Road section,
Nineteenth Street and Columbia
Road, Sixteenth Street extended
and the Takona section.
In a recent report to the COM
mission Mr.. Peck stated that
over-excess of the regulation gas
pressure led to a possibility of
increased gas bills.

At the same time, HarIeigh H.
Hartman, vice chairman of the
commission, stated that com.
plants made by patrons of the
gas company are not as serious
rs reports have pictured them.

OF these were written, while the
others were made orally by tele-
phone or to Peoples Counsel Rich
