Insurgent Republicans Close to Defeating Vreeland Measure
Washington May 13 Under whip and spur Republican leaders push the Vreeland currency bill tomorrow despite a solid Democratic oppose tion and insurgent GOP strength of about thirty six. If all Republicans attend and Dems vote no twenty nine defections could defeat the bill. Insurgents claim thirty six votes while Democrats prepare a united front to oppose. The plan is to maneuver the bill through under suspension of the rules after debate. In other notes, Mr Rayner defends Colonel Stewart against what he calls frivolous charges and lauds his firm stand.

Rayner Defends Stewart in Sarcasm at Roosevelt Critique
In Washington May 13 the House approved the conference report on the naval appropriation bill by 136 to 124. The debate highlighted a new provision increasing pay for marine corps officers and men, drawing criticism of conferees for alleged favoritism. Senate action included passage of the post office appropriation bill totaling about $229 million and provisions to weigh mails annually, plus ocean mail service improvements to several Pacific ports. Senator Rayner urged action on a resolution directing a court of inquiry into Colonel William F. Stewart of the DY at Fort Grant Arizona, accusing the president of unfair treatment and thrusting Stewart into a punitive role. Rayner cited a letter from the president and vowed to press the measure.
