PART FIVE.
Route Boys Job|ess Bill
Before House Tomorrow

Before beginning action on a priv
ileged resolution to pave the way
for action on the Finnish loan bill,
the House tomorrow plans to con-
slider a bill to exempt from provi-
sions of the District Unemployment
Compensation Act newspaper route
carriers under 18 years of age.
The measure was favorably re-
ported last week by the House Dis
trict Committee.
Tomorrow is scheduled to be the
second regular District day" of the
month in the House-a day which is
devoted to consideration of District
legislation-but because OF the desire
of House leaders to dispose of the
Finnish loan bill and the contro-
versial nature Of two other District
bills on the calendar, Chairman
Randolph of the District Committee
said he would call up only the bill
affecting newspaper route boys.
The controversial bills on the cal
endar, bills that have been pending
since the last regular session Of
Congress, would authorize the Pub
lie Utilities Commission to reduce
the number of taxicabs in WASH
ington and open the local market
to milk and cream produced in any
section Of the United States.
