Adjournment delays over army officer discipline dispute
Washington August 19 A dispute over army officer discipline delayed adjournment as House conferees led by James Hay struck out provisions exempting retired officers from discipline. The Senate had upheld the President and War Department, but the House insisted on removing the exemptions. The bill goes to the President again, likely to be returned to the Senate, and further conference is expected. The issue risks delaying adjournment and affecting funding for army and Mexican service troops.
