$4,SS0, 100000 work relief bill to conference with the senate.
 Byrns said there were various administrative provisions in the senate bill which were absolutely unavoidable"
 He declined to indicate whether the president was opposed to re- tention of the billion dollar Thomas imitation amendment.
 Despite teh presidents evident desire to have the bill revised in conference before it is sent to the
 White House, the house silver bloc seeks to force a vote on accepting senate changes in the bill so that 1t could be disposed of immediate ly.
 Immediate house action on the bill, however, was prevented when Representative Luther Johnson, democrat, Texas. refused an unan- imous consent request to send the measure to conference with the senate.
 The request was made by Chair
 man James Buchanan of the house appropriations committee, who with Byrns had conferred earlier
 with the president over the senate changes.
 Johnson's objection. according to Buchanan will prevent house ac-
 tion until tomorrow. At that time silver bloc members plan to try to force vote on accepting all sen- ate amendments, so that final con gressionai action can be completed
 and the bill retain the Thomas sil- yer rider.
 Buchanan said there were 31 | senate amendments and unless
 some of them were revised capable administration of the relief act twill be impossible" We think the bill is all right as 1t is." interjected Representative
 John Rankin. democrat, Mississip-
 pi, silverite.
 "I don't care what you think,
 know different" retorted Buch- afian.
 Buchanan said that it might be necessary for the house to send the bill bSck to the appropriations
 committee before putting it into ' iconference.
