and Relief Bills

Washington, Feb. S.-(R-The way
was open in the senate Wednesday
for rapid action on the remaining
appropriation bills, thus renewing
hopes Of many for votes this session
on prohibition repeal and relief leg
islation.

troversies and drove ahead to COM
plete consideration Of the other eight
vital supply measures to be passed

The treasury-postoff bill. passed
Tuesday night after two weeks OF
argument. contained the broadest
powers ever invested In q president
to reorganize the government and

The measure was sent to confer
ence with the house and II that
branch agrees, President-elect Roo
sevelt will have authority not only
to merge but to abolish government
bureaus as . means Of balancing the
national budget.
As finally passed the treasury-post-
office bill carries . little more than
$3.50, 900 900 a. compared with $96l,-
100000 approved by committee. The
big saving will come from IN amend
ment offered by Senator Brattou
Dem., N. NJ which directs all gov
ernment departments to cut their ex-
penses five per cent below amounts

timated this would lop off . total Of
3l43j0 900. 900.

ployes, including the army and navy
through payless furlouehs. The COM
