tives of the four occupation pow
ers had hammered out the first

Germany.
Prompt union acceptance OF the
agreement negotiated by the
Americans with the Russian con-
trolled management of the Ber-
lin railroad was predicted for to-
day by strike leaders.
This would break 22-day eco

amounted to q little blockade"

Quorum Call Prevents
Taber Attack in House
On Funds for Sesqui
BY HoroId B. Rogers

Representative Taber, Republi-
can, of New York took the House
floor early this afternoon to open
his attack on the $3,000.000 car
ried in the pending supplemental
appropriation bill for Washing
tons sesquicentennial next year.
The ranking minority member
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee had spoken only the two
words. "Mr. Speaker" however
when Representative Ford. Repub-
lican, of Michigan stopped him by
making point of no quorum.
Speaker Rayburn, noting that
a quorum was not present, Or
dered the clerk to call the roll
which was expected to last until
after l o'clock.
New Support Claimed.
Proponents of the sesquicenten-
nial fund, which three times pre-
viously had been denied by the
House, claimed today that they
had won over several members
who had voted against the item
when the House struck it from
the same supplemental bill some
time ago.
Meantime, the House planned tt
take up for action later today the
Davis resolution for a sweeping in
vestigation by the House District
Committee of crime and its pun
ishment in Washington.
The resolution was to be called
up by Representative Smith, Dem
ocrat, of Virginia for the Rules
Committee. Representative Davis
Democrat, of Georgia, sponsor OF
the measure. was ready to present
to the House prepared speech tc
show the need for such an in
vestigation.
Part of Supply Measure.
The sesqui item was carried in q
conference report on the big sup
ply measure and could not be
stricken from it. Should the House
agree to the fund, there is no doubt
the Senate would give it final
approval when the conference
measure goes back to the Senate
for final Congressional action.
The Senate inserted the item in
the bill, after the House had
stricken it on the floor by a roll
call vote of $50 to 129.
Also scheduled to come up in
the supplemental measure con-
ference report is about $4,000. 900
for various agencies of the Dis
trict Government.
Yesterday was supposed to be
District day in the House. but
other business prevented consid-
Grafton of two measures on the
calendar, so the House postponed
action on them, until Thursday.
The measures would add three
more judges to the Municipal
Court here and would authorize
banks to consolidate small trusts

better investment.
