RESOLUTION PROVIDING COMMISSION IS READ | Longworth Called to White House for Conference—Pessimistic Over Chance of Compromise. Although no definite steps had been taken by the Senate early today toward resuming conferences with the House |on the deadlocked District appropria- tion bill, Senator Wesley L. Jones of ‘Washington, chairman of the appro- priations committee, voiced the hope on the Senate floor that the pending con- troversy would be “satisfactorily ad- justed” before Congress adjourns. Senator Jones expressed this note of confidence while reading in the Senate a resolution providing for the creation of a commission to ascertain annually for the information of Congress the ex- act value of Federal and private prop- erty as a partial step in determining the division of expenses in future. The resolution will be introduced later. The resolution, while having no di- rect connection with the pending dead- lock, led to a debate, in the course of which Senator Glass, Democrat, of Vir- ginia, asserted that the question had now reached a stage where “unless the Senate wants to abase itself and su- pinely admit that it is not a part of the legislative machinery, it must as- sert its dignity.” Glass Describes Incident. Senator Glass declared that recently there came to him a_committee repre- senting policemen and firemen, suggest- ing that if they could carry back to & member of the other branch of Con- gress some assurance that the Senate members would agree to the demands of that member that the bill could then 80_to conference.

Senator Jones interrupted to empha- size thai he had no in‘ention when he took the floor of opening up a discus- slon of the pending controversy over the appropriation bill for next year, but intended by his proposed resolution merely to suggest one step that could be | taken to avoid in future years the an- nual recurrence of this dispute. As the discussion of the fiscal rela~ tions went on, there were several de- mands by Senators imterested in the rivers and harbors bill for a return to a discussion of that measure.

A few minutes later he again asked - permission to_introduce the resolutio: and Senator Black, Democrat, of Al bama, objected. Senator Black explained that his reason for objecting was that the Pres- ident of the United States seemed to be trying to bring about an agreement between the Senate and House in the dispute over the District appropriation bill, but not taking the same steps with regard to a similar deadlock which has developed between the two houses on Muscle Shoals legislation. / the club house, wearing an extra sweat- : g bl s g furthering the science of long-range more and Westinghouse Electric and | The minisiry of commerce today ar- ) (he b POUEC, ReRPRE B €TR0 BWERE Dial Types. 3 sl ompany's pro- Text of Jones Resolution. weather forecasting, in advancing the | Eastman Kodak were off $7. | ranged for a careful detailed examina- | &% ? | posal & few days ago brought out that t of the luti 3 Study of radio and in research i the | 9.
