mission voted by Senate Com
mittee. Story on Page B-1.
By DON S. WARREN.

In rapid-fire fashion, the Sen
ate District Committee today
ordered a favorable report on the
nomination of Guy Mason for
another term as District Com
missioner and set what was be-
lieved to be a new record in
approving IT bills affecting the
District.
Notable among the District meas
ures which now go to the Senate for
action are the House-approved bills
to expand the administrative powers
of the commissioners, to make Gov
ernment restaurants in Washington
subject to regulation by the District
health officer, and to amend the
finance and tax system of the Dis
trict Boxing Commission
Some amendments were made to
the House bill on the Boxing Com
mission.
Fight Fails to Develop.
While something of a fight had
been anticipated over the Mason
nomination, it did not develop in
the committee session. In fact, the
discussion was in tribute to the
Commissioner instead of in the form
of verbal brick-bats.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of New
Jersey, chairman of a subcommit-
tee which yesterday favorably re-
ported on the nomination, praised
him as a man of integrity and of
impeccable character and ability -
He stressed that there were but
two or three letters of opposition
from individuals and great mass"
of Endorsements from organizations.
The actual vote of approval was
cast by Senator Bilbo, Senator
Walsh and Senator Weeks, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts,, with Sen
ator Bilbo announcing he was vot-
ing eight times because he had
that many proxies from members
absent at the time.
Two civic leaders volunteered
tributes to Mr.. Mason. They were
