The pact limits certain warships and provides for information exchange on construction programs. Britain plans 38 new ships, including two 35,000 ton battleships, while the House bill authorizes two such vessels if replacements begin abroad.

Law Dead Letter in Houston County Welfare Deed Confusion
The Texas welfare department faces a practical obstacle as the 1935 law requiring aged clients to deed property to the department for reimbursement of assistance appears not to impact Houston County. Public Welfare Director Mrs Collings states 46 clients, all destitute with no real property, cannot meet the deed requirement. The department has sought agreements from clients to reimburse assistance, but local offices report no real estate ownership by the welfare program.
