House Rejects Nine Million Naval Deficiency Request
Washington, Feb. 4. The house refused a 9,070,000 deficiency appropriation for battleships and craft repairs at navy yards. A 2.5 million portion was cut to 800,000 while other items failed amid parliamentary tactics. The vote on part was 151 to 67. The defeat clears the way for tomorrow’s passage of a larger 89,400,000 deficiency bill and includes 1,000,000 for liquor warehouse guards and wide war related appropriations such as 55,000,000 for ex service men and 12,000,000 for education of war cripples.
