Believed Lost

Washington, Nov 27-lNS-The
House Ways and Means Committee
today was called into session to
decide the question Of further con
sideration OF the bill to give Pres
ident Roosevelt power to modify
tariff and immigration laws. as
congressional leaders forecast that
the measure will be dropped.
Sen. George CD Ga, chairman
OF the Senate Finance Committee,
said he believed that the measure
was dead for this session OF Con
gress. at least, while a survey OF
Senate opinion repeatedly disclos'
ed that the legislation would have
scant chance OF being passed be
fore Congress adjourns Jan. 3.
The measure was introduced al
the request OF President Roosevelt
who seeks authority to change
tariff and immigration laws when
such action would aid the war ef-
fort. 1t is opposed by some mem
hers az threat to tariff protec-
ton and maintenance OF immigra-
ton standards.
