"".•'J/"'}'.*1 S» MEHENRY U%4f3&*r CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS By Congressman Chauncey W. Reed Thursday, May 19,1938 >,v « * . Trying To Put Over A Fast One According to rumors an effort will be made to revive the government "dictatorship" re-organization bill dur- " ing the closing days of the session. It is reported that Administration leaders believe that this insidious measure may be slipped over during the rush to adjourn. We hope that the public keeps awakened to the danger. The "Big Navy" Bill According to reports the House and Senate conferees have reached an agreement on the President's one billion dollar Naval Building program. •The conference report will probably approve a provision giving the Presi- ~dent discretion over the sifce of the three new battle ships which were L authorized in the bill. The House bill ; limited the vessels to 35,000 tons, but the conference report will, probably (empower the President to. authorize \ships of 45,000 tons if he so desires. When the bill passed the Senate of • one billion ©Tie hundred fifty-six mil* lion dollars was authorized for naval .construction. It was approximately thirty-five million dollars more than the total approved by the House. The compromise will probably authorize, in addition to the three battleships, nllie cruisers, twenty-three destroyers, nine marines, a number of auxiliary vessels and between nine hundred and one thousand airplanes. Historical Ships For some time past the National Park and Planning Commission has had under consideration a proposal to bring to the nation's Capital a number of old historical naval vessels to constitute a permanent exhibit. The proposal may soon become a realization. While it has been proposed that the Tidal Basin be selected as tfte site for the mooring of these historical ships, the eventual site selected will be the Georgetown Chanel. Among the historical vessels which may be brought to Washington for the permanent exhibition are the Constitution, the Constellation and also the Hartford which was Admiral Farragut's flag ship during the- famous Civil War battle of Mobile Bay. i f ' ^ • i' " »1 < *,y , -I?, v ^ F re"r*Mi2ATt6f4/ N Interstate Commerce Act Change ' According to reports the Pettengill bill to repeal the long and short haul clause of the Interstate Commerce Act will, within the next few days, be reported out by the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce. The bill has already passed the House. A determined effort to conduct a filibuster on the measujre upon the floor of the Senate will probably be made by Senators from far western states. Wages and Hours The controversial Wages and Hours bill will probably be soon considered1 by the House. The Rules Committee has refused to grant a Rule for con? sideration of the bill, but recently a sufficient number of signers was obtained to a petition to force the bill out of the Rules Committee and onto the floor of the House for consideration. Under this procedure the earliest date on which the House could consider the bill would be May 23. However, it is anticipated that in view of the fact that 218 members of the House by signing the petition expressed a desire that the measure should be considered by that Body, a sufficient number of the members of the Rules Committee will change their stand and allow a Rule to be brought out for consideration of the bill. This will allow the measure to be considered at least two weeks earlier. Oar Waihingtol National CdHorial SPRING* OROVX Former Home of Poet Tennyson % Farringford was the former Isle of Wight home of Alfred Lord Tenhyson. The poet moved there in 1853 and made it his home for Ihany years. Tennyson had little of the privacy he sought there. The poet once apologized to a departing visitor for not accompanying him beyond a little postern that opened into a lane, because the last- time he had gone beyond it he had been "pursued in full cry along the road by two fat women and sixteen children."

The May party, at the McHenry Htouse hall, on Wednesday of last week drew out a good crowd and a general good time is reported by all. FIFTY YEARS AGO ters as is eloquently verified in the published hearings on the "War Department Civil Functions Appropriation Bill for 1939." The hearings were devoted almost exclusively to proposed authorizations foT rivers and harbors improvements. The projects cover everything from a bridge spanning a small creek to gigantic breakwaters in major harbors. The political interest was disclosed in a parade of House members before the Appropriations Committee with appeals fori funds. The army put the burden of, justifying the expenditures on the j shoulders of legislators from districts ( where improvements were wanted. In the old days no harbor could be im-, proved with Federal funds until the promoters could prove cargo commerce existed. The change in political thinking is illlustrated in General Schley's admission, "Congress has indicated its desire to have harbors of refuge and recreational and pleasure facilities considered as justifications." In other j words, yachting basins now succeed commercial harbors as beneficiaries of Federal largesse. Sage wheel-horses are not flattered , at the marked attention they receive from their fellows nowadays. The "Boys," as the rank and file are called, by their familiars, are on the anxious. bench as the date of adjournment re-4 mains undetermined.
