C. With a two-to-one- vote required for passage under suspenison of the rules, the $165,000,000 Ellicott public building bill—with $50,000,000 for Washjington—passed the House late vesterday by a vote of 263 to 120, and now awaits actlon in the Senate. It has been favorably reported by the Senate committee on public buildings and grounds and is on the calendar. The intention is to call this bill up in the Senate just as soon as some of the hix depart- mental appropriation bills are dls- posed of. Then the motlon will be (o substitute the bill that has passed the House for the identical Senate bill, and it is expected to be passed by _an overwhelming vote. ‘The bill carries $50,000,000 over a five-vear period for much-needed buildings to house important Govern= ment activities in the National Capi- tal; $100,000,000 for new public building projects, mostly for post oifices, throughout the country where the need 5 been growing during 12 yeurs of Inactivity by the Govern- in adequately providing for using needs. und $15,000.00) to complete projects already authorized The $100,000,000 to be spent on new proje all over the country is scarcely one-third of the amount de- clared actually needed on a strictly business basis for efficient transaction of Government business. The $15.000,000 for completion of projects authorized includes the only ' in the bill, but had to be included so that Uncle Sam could square his accounts by getting rid of some of the questionable items left over from previous Congresses of more than a decade ago. In the projects under the $15,000.000 are found those on which work has been postponed just because they were the least desfrable, even though author- ized in an oid-time “pork barrel” bill. The bill as it passed the House au- thorized the Secretary of the Treasury annually to report to Congress the list of places in which it is proposed to erect Federal bufidings during the coming fiscal year, with the estimated cost of each. This recommendation is to come to Congress through the Budget Bureau and is to be studied carefully by the House appropria- tions committee. where justification for exch ftem must be clearly shown, and then it is passed upon by the House. Representat e Elliott, Republican, of Indiana,‘chairman of the House committee on public buildings and grounds, author of the m located the 25 minutes allowed pro- ponents of the bill, mostly to Demo- crats who spoke for it, while Repre- sentative Lanham, Democrat, of Texas, who led the Democratic 0ppo- sition, distributed most of his 25 min- utes to Re ans who joined with the Democrats in an attempt to de- House Leader Ti and Minority nst it. feat the measure. son spoke for the bill Leader Garrett spoke a Mr. Elliott denied charges that cer- tain members had been promised buildings in their district on a pre- ferred list, and that $75,000,000 of the £100,000,000 is to be spent in six States, by declaring that no list has | been prepared and_that as it is to be | pent over a period of 3 ve Secretaries of the Treas- ury must do the allocating, and that there is a possibili t there may be a Democratic Secretary of the Treasury yet allocating some of these | buildings. Questions Carew Vote. Just before Speaker Longworth an- nounced the vote Representative Win- £o, Democrat, Arkansas. who voted in the negative, questioned the affirma- of Representative Carew, saying he | York member on not seen the New the floor. _Representative Oliver, Democrat. informed the chair he 1d say with authority that Mr. Carew had not been present. The Speaker then withdrew Mr. Carew’s vote, but was unable to ascertain who had answered for his name. Representative Garrett of Tennes- see, the Democratic leader, argued that only six States were likely to ob- tain any benefit from the bill, which he described as “an abdication of the power of Congress, and an extension of bureaucracy.” The public buildings committee, which reported the bill, was “cutting its throat,” he said, by surrendering to the departments the right to allocate the buildings. Assails Measure. Representative Lanham, Democrat, Texas, ranking Democrat on the com- mittee, denounced the measure as a plan to favor large cities and deny ny relief to rural sections. He called it “a centralization scheme” and con- tended that the authority “hitherto resting in the House now goes to the departments. Representative Tilson of Connecti- cut, the Republican leader, defended the bill, erting that it was abro- gating no congressional rights since the budget for Federal buildings made up by the departments must come to_Congress for approval. Representative Elliott, Republican, Indiana, chalrman of the public build- ings committee and author of the measure, said no sites could be allo- cated at this time under terms of the bill. He argued that it was “either this sort of legislation, the old-fash- lunefi pork barrel kind, or nothing at all.” York, Auto busses have recently appeared in La Plaz, Bolivia, and have proved o popular that a great number are now busy.
