RS FORCONGRESS'END Tentatively Agree on Meas- L. ures Yet to Be Dis- s posed Of. 7SH0ALS OFFER EXCLUDED Farm Credits, Naval Omnibus \. Among Bills to Be 4 Acted On. After all-day conferences of the House rules committee and legislative leaders, the program for the remain- , Ing fortnight of the present Congress ‘was tentatively fixed to Include the following measures: Farms credits legislation patterned after the Capper and Lenroot-An- derson measures passed by the Sen- . ate, Authorizing government purchase of the Cape Cod canal. Authorizing the alien property cus- todian to return as much as $10,000 of each estate held in trust for enemy allens. The Strong bill increasing the maximum of loans to farmers by land banks from $10,000 to $16,000. The naval omnibus bill carrying a provision to modernize thirteen super- dreadnaughts by raising the elevation * of their turret guns provided that can be done without violating the naval limitation treaty.

Ford Shoals Offer Excluded. Omnibus post-office bill. Henry Ford's offer for Muscle .Shoals was finally and definitely ex- #*cluded from the program by a 6 to 3 vote in the rules committee against a_special rule for that measure. Decision as to whether the new im- migration restriction blll should be taken up was deferred pending con- .. Terences between House and Benate ¢ leaders as to the prospects for Senate action on it. It was explained that if a vote could not be had in the Sen- ate it would be a waste of time for the House to consider the measure. While the leaders were working out the program, the House speeded up its legislative machinery, and in day and night sessions turned out a flood of bills, most of them of a private or Jocal character. Another night ses- sion was arranged for tomorrow, with prospects of practically continuing night meetings through the final # Week of the session. Bills Passed.' Among the bills passed by the House yesterday were: To prohibit the unauthorized wear- ing, manufacturing or sale of medals and badges awarded by the War De- partment. To extend the time for payment of charges due on reclamation’ proj- ects. To provide for soldiers’ and sallors’ homestead entries in Alaska. To provide for national guard and reserve officers attending summer military training camps the same pay and allowances for quarters as is made to officers of a like rank in the Regular Army.
