Lord, who, previous to becoming chief finance officer in _the detail from the War Department, was chief of the office of finance for the Army. It is known that Director Dawes has strongly recommended Gen. Lord for appointment as his suc- cessor. The ' schedule prepared by Chair- man Madden, which maps out the date on which all hearings are to start and the dates on which the respective de- partmental appropriation bills will be ready for submission to the House, onables House Leader Mondell and| the legislative steering committee to map out more definitely a program of legislation for the present session. This is the first time that such a program has been initiated giving-ad- vanced: notification of when the appro- priation bills will be reported to tae | House. _According to this schedule, the | appropriation bills for the War Depart- | ment and the Navy Department will not Dbe drafted until after some decision has been reached at the present internation- al conference for limitation of arma- ment. budget bureau under ‘Will Show Sincerity. 1t is believed that such a course will show to the veoresentatives of other | nations the utmost sincerity on the part | of tae United States immefiiately to cur- tail, as far as national safety will per- mit, the preparations for military | purposes.

Defense Bills Ready in March. It is estimated that the bill for the War Department, with Representative Dan R. Anthony of Kansas chairman ]of the subcommittee, will be ready for the House by March 10. It.1s also thought that the Navy Department bill, with Representative Pat Kelley of Michigan, chairman of the subcommittee, will be ready for the House by March 30. = According - to Chairman' Madden's schedule, this means that 327 working days will be given over to the con- sideration of these appropriation bills between December 12 and March 27. Thus by systematizing the work and reorganizing the subcommittees de- partmentally, the appropriations com- mittee now for the first time will be reddy to give the House reports on a definite schedule covering only three month. Were the work done by a single committee it would consume practically an entire year.
