in the discussion, Senator Jones stating
he would decide by tomorrow what

measures.
Borah Fears Delay.
Senator Borah said he presumed
that if one of his bills is to be refer
red to some other committee on the
ground it is a legislative measure, the
same rule could be applied to the other
bills. He said he did not want to see
the general question split up, because,
in his opinion, that would delay final
disposition.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas. Dem
oCratiC leader, expressed the belief the
question is one which should be dealt
with as a whole wherever it is consid-
cred. He mentioned the Committee on
Expenditures in Executive Departments
and the Finance Committee as groups
to which they might be referred.
Chairman Smoot of the Finance
Committee said his committee was so
busy with other work that it would be
a long time before it could take up such
