Threats of a filibuster in the Senate against the $110,535,027 House rivers and harbors bill were encountered to- day. with warnings that the House would keep Congress in session this Summer until the controversial measure is enacted. Representative Tilson of Connecticut, the Republican leader in the House, conceded that the report of a move to keep Congress going until the bill is passed “is a very ressonable deduc- n.” Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, who is fighting a provision for the Federal Government to take over the Erie Canal in New York State, reiterated that there would be ‘“some long talking in the Senate” before “this Christmas tree bill” got through. Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New York, one of the leading proponents of the Erie Canal provision, replied that he, too, is ready to filibuster unless the bill retains that provision. ‘The bill is now under consideration by the Senate commerce committee, which must reach a decision on the row over the Erfe Canal—and on two other major issues, including a House provision for Federal operation of the| Tllinois waterway, and several provi-| slons for Great Lakes developments. Confronted with threat of an all- Summer session, Senate foes of the bill are standing their ground; but there are indications of an early move looking toward a solution of the deadlock.
