promised severe headaches for legis-
lators before its final enactment.
The House meanwhile found itself
confronted with a legislative jam
growing worse by the day.
Before its approval In a rare Sat-
urday session the war powers bill
had blocked consideration of legis-

iary Army corps, set up program
of war-damage insurance and con-
tinue the life of the Dies Com
mittee on Un-American Activities.
There was little prospect that any
of these except the war insurance
proposal would be disposed of this
week. Leaders set aside today for
its consideration and tentatively put
down the rest of the week for de-
bate on the Agricultural supply bill.
War Insurance Bill.
Already approved by the Senate,
the war insurance bill has been
drastically changed by the House
Banking Committee.
The Senate version set a top of
$4,000 for free insurance for each
case Of property loss resulting from
enemy war actions in this country,
with coverage beyond that amount
to be paid for at premium rates
to be determined by the insurance
agency operating under the Recon-
struction Finance Corp.
AS approved by the House Com
mittee. the bill now allows unlimited
free coverage until such time as
suitable premium payment program
can be worked out. After that,
under the House plan, there will be
no free insurance and any one de-
String coverage through the Gov
ernment agency will have to pay
for it.
