HOUSE TO TAKE Up
BANKRUPTCY BILL
Congress Action on Relief
Legislation This Session
Is Assured.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional action on bankruptcy
relief legislation this session was as
sured yesterday when House Demo-
cratic leaders decided to take I'D to-
morrow the McKeown bill to permit
insolvent corporations to reorganize
with court sanction
The measure will be considered un-
der suspension of the rules 1t is de-
signed to enable a corporate body to
avoid bankruptcy proceedings by work
ing out with its creditors plans of re-
adjustment. Only two-thirds Of the
creditors and a majority of the stock
which the court has approved, and
under the bill minority of the cred
itors would be prevented from blocking
reorganization attempts and forcing
the corporation into bankruptcy
As the corporate bankruptcy measure
progressed, however, the chances of
action this session on legislation to ex-
tend similar ref1nancing relief to mu-
inequalities remained uncertain. The
House Judiciary Committee has ap-
proved rewritten bill, introduced by
Chairman Summers. Democrat, Of
Texas, but because of the tie vote which
he broke for 9-to-8 approval the
measure has been held back from the
House pending possible reconsideration.
A meeting of the committee called
for yesterday was postponed until to-
morrow, however, and Summers has
not announced definitely that the mu-
nicipal relief measure would be taken
up again.
Originally introduced by Representa-
tive Wilcox. Democrat, of Florida, the
measure as reshaped would permit mu-
inequalities with the consent of 80 per
cent of the bondholders to petition the
court for approval of a refinancing
plan, which must have the agreement
of two-thirds of the creditors of each
class.

TWO SUPPLY BILLS
ARE MAJOR TASKS
D. C. and Independent Offices
Measures Remain in
Final Rush.

With congressional leaders hoping to
wind up the present session in week,
or rs soon thereafter as possible, list
ing Of the major tasks awaiting COM
pletion includes two annual appropria-
tion bills, the District of Columbia sup
ply measure and the independent Offices
bill.
The District BILL which provides for
the expenses of the municipal govern
ment for the fiscal year beginning July
l.. has been tied up in conference for
several weeks.
The independent Offices bill, which
also Is Of wide local interest because of
the provisions it contains affecting per-
sonnel problems of Government en-
ployes, passed the Senate Friday and
Will go to conference early this week.
Lump Sum Proves Snag.
Conferences on the District bill were
matted more than two weeks ago, when
the Senate conferees found the House
members unwilling to agree to a COM
promise on the amount of the Federal
share. The House bill contained a lump
sum OF $5,700,000 The Senate changed
this figure to $6,250,0OO.
Even the Senate figure would be
substantial cut below the Federal con-
tribution for the current year of 81
775,0 600. When the conferees held their
last meeting, it is understood. the Sen
ate group suggested a compromise of
$4,000, 1000, but without obtaining an
agreement
The differences between the two
branches also relate to the question of
whether the District should be required
TO make another reimbursement Of ST.
O00.00 to the Federal Treasury next
year for expenditures on the park de-
velopment program.
Other Issues Minor.
The House bill required another In
stallment, while the Senate voted to
eliminate payment in 1884, on the
theory that no further advances are
being made toward the park program
Tor the time being and that the Dis
trlct is paying back what has been
spent thus far more rapidly than was
intended.
There are number of other amend
ments In conference, but the oifficulty
confronting the conferees hinges on
these two questions. Senator Thomas.
Democrat, Of Oklahoma, chairman of
the Senate group, has not announced
when the conferees will have another
meeting.

These have been contemplated for
several years, but up to now the Navy
has not had funds with which to build
them. Naval officers expect them to be
serWceable as scouting weapons.
In addition to the 80 ships on which
work can begin within three months,
the approved program also provides for
TWO new gunboats, to be used in Chi

1T IS not our intention to threaten
anybody. But we are far, far below

tions have about reached Even with
81 new ships. We will still be consid-
erably under limitations, but we viii
have balanced feet.

The decision to push this building

diately affect the officer or enlisted
strength Of the Navy. since there are
no present plans for economies in that
direction.
There has been some talk" he said.
OF using a number Of naval officers
on public works, but they would have
finished their work-or much of it
by the time the new ships were I'm
ished. It takes 18 months to build q
destroyer and about three years to
build q cruiser"
The present plan, Vinson said, Is to
pay for the naval construction out of
the $500 ,000, 900 in bonds authorized
IN the Industrial public works bill.
But there will be only s46, ,0oo, 900

n1ainder of the $3.50, ,00o, 900 program
will be spread over the last two years
and the bonds issued to raise the
