PENDING PROJECTS HELD IMPORTANT Representative Snell Says Eco- nomic Problems Should Be Dis- posed of at Coming Session. By the Associated Press. Boulder Canyon Dam, Muscle Shoals, Mississippi flood control and the Great Lakes to Atlantic waterway project constitute four of the biggest economic problems ever presented to Congress, in the opinion of Chairman Snell of the House rules committee, who said today that all should be dis- posed of at the approaching session. He believes that because of the ap- propriations which would be necessary for these projects Congress would do | well if it could authorize a tax re-| duction of $225,000,000, the maximum considered possible by the Treasury. The chairman said he had not yet conferred with other Republican House leaders or committee members concerning the legislative program, but that he personally believed the rules committee, which has the final say in what bills will be considered by the House, would endeavor to obtain passage before the Christmas recess of a deficiency appropriation bill, an alien property bill, the tax-reduction measure and one of the annual sup- ply bills.
