department supply bill died yes
terday in the u. S. senate.
Senator Duncan U. Fletcher

voted Sc to 35 to refuse to re-
consider its killing of a $12,OOO,-
900 canal appropriation. -,
The project now either VIII
have to be continued through al
location of additional relief funds
or by separate appropriation
The latter course appeared the
next step of Fletcher and the
Floridians fighting for the canal
Shortly after the motion to re-
consider was rejected, the senate
approved the SOIL, 360,G04 mea-
sure-record peacetime supply
bill for the war department. The
bill now goes back to the house
for acceptance of senate amend
ments and perhaps may go to con-
ference.

ROME, Mar. "a. (UP)-Italy
today had become virtual guaran-

Agreement to this effect was
reached in a conference among
Premier Benito Mussolini, Aust
rian Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg
and Hungarian Premier julius de
Geomboes, aimed at strengthen
the politicaiaand economic struc-
ture of the three dahubian states.
The agreement signed today pro-
vided that neither shall undertake
important political negotiations
without consulting the others.
1t was understood that Musso-
lini also agreed to permit Hungary
to rearm, presumably to meet the
threat of German arms, by scrap
ping the restrictive armament pro-
bisions Of the Trianon treaty.
Mussolini, Schuschnigg an d
Goemboes signed the tri-power
agreement at Venice palace after
three days of discussion.
The new protocol was under
stood to establish system Of mu-
tual assistance, tantamount to a
military; alliance, between Italy
and Austria and Italy and Hum
gary. :,
Authoritative sources said Hun
gary declined to sign an agree
ment to cometo Austria's assist
ance in event Austria were at,
tackled, and that as result Ii
Duce virtually guaranteed Aus
trials independence in order to as
sure success of the conference.
This step was seen as defiant
moveto block alleged German am
billions to join Austria with Germ
