CONTINUING BILL
SEEN BY ROBINSON
Expresses Belief Senate viii
Back Conferees in Lump
Sum Deadlock.

Expressing belief that the Senate
will support its conferees in the dead
lock on the District appropriation
bill Majority Leader Robinson said
today it seems likely a continuing
resolution will have to be passed to
provide for expenses of the District.
On the main issue in dispute over
how much the Federal share should
be, the Senate conferees are seeking
to adhere to the budget recommen-
dation for continuation of the pres
ent lump-sum figure Of 100 900,
and Senator Robinson indicated he
regarded that as a fair amount.
knows of the situation. lit looks like
the continuing resolution would have
to be passed"
Robinson made this reference to
the District supply bill while dis
cusSing the general outlook for ad-
journment sometime between the Re-
publican and Democratic National
Conventions.
Meanwhile Chairman Thomas of the
Senate conferees believes it is neces-
sary to create the proposed commission
for future study of the fiscal relations
problem, to pave the way for an
agreement on how much the Federal
share should be. While waiting for
an opportunity to get the commission
plan up for action IN the Senate. he
also is trying to arrange for another
meeting of the conferees.
The Oklahoma Senator is seeking in
every way possible to avoid substituting
continuing resolution for the bill,
as this would eliminate all new i'm
provements for the coming year. If
no agreement has been reached as the
day of adjournment approaches. such
a resolution would have to be passed.
or the National Capital would be
without any funds.
The death of Speaker Byrns has
had the effect of deferring adjourn
ment, probably until after the Repub-
lican convention, which leaves more
time for negotiations on the District
bill.
