Payment of Pensions Dominates Congress Debate
In Washington the deficieny bill discussion consumed House proceedings with little Democratic enthusiasm. Mr. Holman opposed certain items while Mr. Cannon defended the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. The House adopted the bill by 116 yeas to 85 nays and moved to a broad salary and pension expansion plan, projecting rising costs for pension claims, traveling examiners, clerical staff, and future appropriations. The Senate focused on District of Columbia measures and a Mississippi relief resolution, while other bills including postal, commerce, and river and harbor matters moved through committees. The adjournment left the general deficiency bill pending with additional action anticipated.
