The bill favorably reported from the naval affairs committee for equalization of promotion and pay between officers of the staff and line in the Navy comes up in the Hou tomorrow as unfinished busine with every indicatlon that it will be passed by a practically unanimous vote The vote Wednesday in the House was 1o 22, indicating that opposition to this mea la- tively inconsequential. Nenate lead- ers are favorable to this hill and are veady to tuke it up as soon as the House has acted, Prompt action in both houses of Congress is confidently expected be- cause no appropriation is required and the measure has had long and careful study over a period of three vears, Hearings have been held by both the House Senate commit- teps on naval affairs. which have cov- ered weeks of tes ony. Navy Behind Bill. According to witnesses from all hranches of the service, the sentiment of the entire Navy seems to he that this is a measure which will improve the morale. smonth out friction that has long existed hetween line and ff, and that in this was witt fmimensely increase the efficiency of the service. The bill to he taken up tomorrow does away with the old system of unequal | stion of officers who entered the seivice e same time, who served unde ilar with identic nd interests at sea or in old, and it gives the same wrunity promotion at the same tim ail officers of the Navy, both line and staff, who are cotempor. The officers of each staff corps who are behind the line officers of equal length of service will be immediately promoted in the same proportions their line cotemporaries. Up to this time promotion in the staff corps has been very much slower than in the line. 3 Not Shore Officers. Hearings on this measure divulged that there has existed a grave mis conception of the functions of staff officers.

TUESDAY, Administration Leaders May Write Bill on Floor by Amending Others. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Plans are heing made by adminis- tration leaders in the House to write a new farm bill on the floor. The pariimentary situation is such that an unprecedented maneuver is counted on to develop a measure that can be sent to the Senate. The Haugen bill is considered have little chance of passage and the move is o substitute the Aswell bill for the Haugen measire. When that has heen done the effort will he made to amend the Aswell bill by iIncorporat- ing the principal provisions of the “Fincher bill. When the carving process is com plete House leaders hope they will have a bill that eliminates govern- ment price-fixing, that does not de- pend on the public Treasury for a subsidy and that co-ordinates the vari- ous agencles engaged In co.operative marketing 8o that effective handling of surplus products may be made pos- sible the farmers’ groups them selves, Plan {o Lose Legislation Charged. What the Senate will do is another problem. House leaders have haen told that the disposition of many Senators is to let the farm bills get tangled up in aach other in such fash fon that no actlon whatsosver will he taken at this session. As it appears | trom the Senate viewpoint farm Jexis lation i not so exsential as it is from the House. Thers are onlv ahout 32 Senators who are to he up for re. election this Autumn. and many of thess come from Democratic States. Some of the Repubiican Senators who belong to the insurgent group are in- different ax to what the leaders de- cide, for if there is to be no legislation it increases their opportunity to dis cuss on the stump the shoricomings of the conservative leadership of the Senate. It would, in other words. be political- Iy lews dangerous for the Senate than the House to let farm legisiation go by default. After the House has pass ad a bill the members—all of whom are up for re-slection-—could point to thelr own record as an avidence of their interest in farm legisiation and could blama the absence of a farm relisf law on the tangle in the Sem- ate. Little Enthusiasm Shown. The truth ls that there is reia tively little enthusifasm in Congress for a revolutionary change in farm economics. A small group prodded various outside orgunizations s making a fight, hut the chances of success have heen diminished by the failure of the farm leaders to get to gether on a program that can win sanction from the White Hou There is no doubt that the Secre tary of Agriculture and the President realize the importance of a solution to the surplus problem. but they have come out s firmly against any eub sidy by the Government or any par- ticipation in a scheme that permite the co.operatives to fix pricés with governmental supervision that most member# of Congreas have not felt it_incumbent on them to assume a | role In opposition to the known de- | sirem of the administration. if the President were on the other sida of the argument pleading for farm Haf the situation might he different As the Summer months approach and Congress becomes anxious for adjournment, the trend is toward in And 1t e look am if the House will do its part and the Senate will accept responsibility for a thoroughly changed bill or complete inaction.
