The conferees went arefully over the bill as it was pub- lished some time ago, and a few amendments of a minor character | were added to it. Both the equalization bill and the | Britten line bill will be submitted to ieved from sea | Secretary Wilbur this week. Officers on duty in the Navy Department and with the fleet have suggested numer- ous amendments to the Judge Advo- cate General, but none has been iopted and no changes will be made until Representative Fred A. Britten is consulted. Mr. Britten is very in- sistent upon some legislation, but is in a receptive mood for any sugges- tions or modifications which will not conflict with the general structure of his bill. Separate hearings will be held on the two billg, but it is possible that a consolidation may be effected when the two measures reach the House committee on naval affairs. The ouinion is held by Mr. Britten that it would be better to pass both bills as a single measure, as under this policy it would be easier to secure consideration from the House.
