Washington December 9 Speaker Cannon told about two hundred Ohio Valley Improvement Association members that no House rule has blocked a majority from legislation. He said his role is to preside and enforce rules, not wield autocratic power, and that river improvements will need committee and presidential action. He predicted at least ten billion dollars would be spent on U S waterways in the century’s swing, with some work to be done by future generations. He noted some prefer faster action, joking about asbestos muslin clothing for those who would face delays.
