Commissioner Payne was riding
in an experimental car operated

The receiving and transmitting

and got his office by short wave.
He instructed them to get Com
missioner Payne's office in Wash

telephone line. AS soon as this
was done, his office switched the
connection. so the short wave from

mitted over the regular long

Although the car was operating

The President was asked about
a published rumor that Mrs. Har-

Mrs. Hartman, an ardent Ad-

legislative Provisions
In Supply Bill
Hit in House

A parliamentary battle was
scheduled for the House floor to-
day when the District appropria-
ton bill is read for amendment.
On the one hand, members Of
the House District Committee are
prepared to raise points Of order
against practically all Of the legis-
lative provisions which are con-
tanned in the supply measure, and
they expressed confidence that
their points of order will be upheld
and that these legislative riders
will be eliminated.
At the same time, Representa-
tive Ross A. Collins Cd, Of Misis-
sippi, chairman Of the Appropria-
tons Subcommittee that wrote the
bill, was equally confident that the
points of order-or most of them,
at least--will not be sustained, and
he said he is willing to bet a $50
suit Of clothes that the bill will
go through the House almost ex-
actly as written by his subcommit-
tee. .....

House rules we're inclin3d to agree

homa, a member of Mrs. Norton'S
committee, who will raise the
points Of order, that the points will
be sustained, but from Collins con-
fidence it would seem that he has
some rabbit he will bring out Of q
hat to save his bill.
It is expected that the bill will
be passed by the House today and
sent to the Senate.
Representative Collins efforts
to stop the points of order from
being raised against the legisla-
tive provisions, his subcommittee
wrote into the bill was climaxed
at a conference he called late yes
terday with Representatives Nor
ton and Nichols, both Of whom
charged, in addresses on the
House floor yesterday, that they
considered the action Of the ap-
preparations group in writing the
legislative provisions into the bill
as a "usurpation" OF the functions
Of the House District Committee.
In q statement issued by Rep
resentative Collins yesterday at
the conclusion of his meeting with
Mrs. Norton and Mr.. Nichols, he
said that IF there are legislative
provisions which are contrary to
the rules and which do not have
merit, in the judgment of the
members Of the legislative COM
mittee, I should rather expect
and should not feel in the last
surprised or disappointed if a
member of that committee should
make a point Of order against
such provision or provisions.

and the Lawrence women well.
He added that the two women
