Loans to states and subdivisions
would be permitted mot only on self
liquidating projects" but on all pro-
jects where the r. F. c. finds there is
reasonable assurance of repayment.
Supporters of the administrations
reorganization bill battled through
vigorous opposition delay tactics to
force the House to resume considera-
ton of the controversial measure.
Speaker Bankhead announced the
vote was 206 to 139 on motion to
proceed with debate. Opposition men,
