An administration bill to put into
effect President Roosevelt's re-
quest for a ban on further gold
clause suits, was introduced in the
house today by Chairman Henry
Steagall of the house banking and
currency committee.
The bill gives persons holding

viso.
The measure denies the right to
sue for alleged damages due to
dollar devaluation to holders Of
bonds, notes, certificates of indebt-
edness, treasury bills or any other
form of government securities.
1t would put congress on record
as declaring that mo holder of any

United States has suffered any
damage because of measures here
tofore taken" in connection with
the administrations monetary pro-
gram.

gram this session.
Administration leaders were dis
turbed. The situation was most
acute in the house, where resent
ment against an extended session
worried leaders. The hold of leaders
over the house appeared none too
secure.
Speaker Joseph w. Byrns and
Patrick Boland, party whip, stood
firm however. in their determine
ton to hold the Presidents wishes
for enactment of the tax legislation
this session.
ByrnS said a special session this
fall, as proposed by some, was def
initely out Some congressman,
growing weary of Washington heat,
proposed a two weeks adjournment
when the remainder of the must"
slate is cleared, probably about July
Is.
The house ways ana means COM
mittee is not expected to have the
tax legislation ready much before
August l. Extended debate may de-
lay disposition of the program at
least until September /.
