Senate Gets Florida
Canal Bill Without
Recommendation
Commerce Committee
Votes 10 to 9 to Make
Such q Report
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate Commerce Committee
voted, 10 to 9, today to report the
Florida ship canal bill to the Senate
without recommendation.
The bill, introduced by Senator
Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas
would authorize completion of the
5000 900 900 waterway which Presi-
dent Roosevelt started in 1885 with
relief allotments totaling $5,4O0 900.
The issue was revived early in this
session of Congress when the Presi-
dent wrote letters to chairmen of
House and Senate committees urging
that the canal be completed.
After long hearings, the House
Rivers and Harbors Committee ap-
proved similar canal bill. 10 to 6.
The majority report said it was a
project "of unusual merit"
Construction of the canal was
halted in 1896 when Congress re-
fused to appropriate toward its COM
pletion. At that time opponents
argued the project had not been
authorized by Congress.
The bills now pending in the Sem
ate and House would merely give
congressional authority for compile
ton of the waterway, but would
not appropriate funds.

measure. 1t was said also to be
debating the advisability of apply
ing conscription to Northern Ire

High quarters indicated to-

Consequently, there will be

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Morgenthau, fearing a
precedent for establishing in America
a "secret police system like those in
some European countries, definitely
abandoned today his plan for merg-
ing Treasury enforcement agencies.
A Treasury official said the Secre-
tary had recommended dropping the
proposal in letter to President
Roosevelt. 1t was reported that
President Roosevelt leaned to Secre-
tary Morgenthaus new viewpoint,
but emphasized they did not know
definitely what action he might
take.
The plan, favored by Mr.. Roosevelt
so recently that he told reporters
Tuesday he would transmit 1t to
Congress, would place more than
5000 Federal agents in one unit.
The Treasury forces-Secret Serv-
ice, customs patrol, narcotics agents,
income tax agents and alcohol tax
agents-already are co-ordinated
and are directed by a single head,
Elmer L. Trey.
A merger, planned under the
Presidents new reorganization pow-
ers, would give a more permanent
standing to this coordination, but
would not save any money.
Fears Further Merger.
Secretary Morgenthau, it was
learned, feared that after a merger
of the Treasury agencies, there
might be agitation at some future
time for consolidation with the &C.
men" OF the Justice Department. the
postal inspectors and other Federal
enforcement officials.
He was considering the matter
when the President told his press
conference that the plan was due
in a week or two. Mr. Morgenthau
Immediately communicated his feel
ings to Mr.. Roosevelt.
The President said Tuesday he
was preparing for immediate trans
mission to Congress two more reor-
ganization orders. one affecting va
rious changes within departments
and another making transfers be-
tween departments.
His first order created three new
agencies, which, unless disapproved
by Congress within go days. will con-
solidate the Governments works,
welfare and lending agencies.
Usually well-informed persons said
the interdepartmental order might
concentrate conservation activities
in the Interior Department and
transfer certain maritime activities
to the Coast Guard.
Plan to Put House on Record.
In the meantime, it appeared to-
day that the concurrent resolution
of disapproval of the first section OF
the plan, introduced in the House
yesterday by Representative Taber
Republican, of New York, might
serve to speed House action and re-
move the plan from the field of fur
ther controversy there.
This resolution will give the House
Reorganization Committee a chance
to submit an adverse report, and the
prospective vote in support of the
report then would automatically put
the House on record for the plan
and no other vote would be possible
during the so days in which Con-
gress has to act on it.
No resolution of disfavor has been
introduced in the Senate, and it
appears doubtful that there will be.
