Hepresentatives Expected to
, Pass : Measure Ca Una
. for More Ships
WASHINGTON, Feh. .(AP)
Carrying bat two senate amend
ments the cruiser bill Is to be re
tamed tomorrow to the house as
- the first business of the day, with
Its Immediate adoption In pros
pect. Under an agreement reached
with Speaker Longworth, Chair
man Britten of the house naval
committee will submit a motion
proposing the unanimous adoption
of the senate amendments. Should
rn objection be made," which
.Chairman Britten believes is
doubtful, leaders in the house
hare prepared to bring in a spe
cial rule which will make the ac
tion In order without debate.
The house leaders are taking
this method of reaching what they
hope Is final legislative action on
the cruiser bill to avoid referring
- the measure to conference, which
might ' again take it before the
. tenate and result In the bill being
cmaght in a last minutes legisla
tive Jam.
Construction Planned
- Further plans to get construe-
tlon started on the cruisers not
later than July4, are under way
la the. house. ; Chairman Britten
! tald that It .the house should
i cdopt the amendments and the
1 president sign the bill before the
j house hag completed action on
the annual naval supply bill this
7oek, he would offer an amend
ment; to provide $12,475,000 for
beginning work on five cruisers
utd the aircraft carrier.
This would permit $2,000,000
to be spent the first year on each
of the five cruisers and the car
rier, wjth $275,000 to be spent at
Mare . Island, California. Puget
sound, Washington and New York
navy yards for ship ways, and
$200,000 for the Washington navy
yard gun factory.
-Approval Anticipated
- Britten Is confident that the
measure will be adopted by the
1ouse tomorrow, and that it will
be approved by the president. He
predicted little, if any. opposition
to the Borah and Reed amend
ment providing for the negotia
te of treaties to define the war
time rights of neutrals at sea. He
likewise felt there would be no
opposition to the other amend
ment providing for the purchase
by the navy from ship yard3 of
materials not manufactured by
the navy.
"The cruiser bill will be taken
from the speaker's desk and Im
mediately passed as amended by
the senate." Britten declared. "No
amendments to the bill will be
permitted In order to prevent the
measure going to conference
which would automatically carry
It Into the senate chamber again
whore a filibuster might prevent
Us' passage before March 4.
Strength Sounded Out
"It Is evident that the house is
In bo mood to brook Interference
with the Immediate passage of the
bill. It Is evident that the peo
ple back home given their rep re
ten tat Ives la congress to under
stand that steel ships and not
paper ones are demanded and
needed by the nation.
"It Is true that the president
has indicated his opposition to the
time limit in the bill. It is also
true that he has indicated his de
tire for an Immediate appropria
tion to begin building these ships.
In the light of all that has tarns
pired. I do not believe the presi
dent will look unfavorably -upon
the bill.-

Anticipating the announcement,
H. Tom Right, Rogers county rep
resentative and leading opponent
of the administration, said it pro
ably would be made as an at
tempt to restore confidence of the
state in Johnston, and warned that
Mrs. f Hammonds would be rein

a statement on receiving the res
ignation In which he announced
that Mrs. Hammonds would not
return to his office in any capac
ity" If he Is acquitted of eleven
articles of Impeachment which
nave been filed against him.
Mrs. Hammonde made- her res
ignation effective at once. In her
letter to the suspended governor
, surrendering her position, she de
clared- that evidence adduced be
fore- the investigation committee
proved that no honest and fair in
etlgat!on was desired.
She characterized the revela
tions of the Investigation as mis
representations Intended to throw
"a cmoke screen," around the
i' purpose of the investigators.
"We are anticipating," KIght
said, "that Governor Johnston will
discharge or at least serve notice
that If he Is reinstated in office,
; that ho will discharge Mrs. Ham
j aaoads, Mr. Sullivan and Dr. Ham-
snoods as state health officer,

only. To compensate for this, Mr.
Boggs suggested that a tax ap
proximating $50 per $100,000 of
assets be levied on these concerns
In the form of a franchise tax.
The bUl was defended by L. B.
Smith of Portland, who as secre
tary of the Greater Oregon asso
ciation, said he recently sent out
750 letter to commercial organis
ations on this bill, and that not
one protest on the provisions was
heard.
Allan H. Smith, of Baker, who
was a member of the sub-committee
which helped frame the meas
ure, flayed the mutual association
representatives for attempting to
have the provisions changed, de
claring that the bill taxed them on
i fair basis as compared to other
concerns.
Hearings on the bill later are
3xiected before the house and
senate committees report on it, it
was said at the close of the ses
sion.
'Supervision Change
s Also Protested
Representatives of building and
loan associations and savings and
loans associations, appeared be
fore the Joint banking committee
ind protested, vigorously against
the nassase of senate bill 71
which would put regulation of
these organizations under the
state superintendent of banks.
Ben Hazen of Portland said that
the building and loan and savings
and loans associations were well
regulated under the direction of
the state corporation commission
er. It was the contention of Mr.
Hazen that If any remedies were
needed In the regulation of the
hulldlng and loan and savings and
loans associations they should be
uade through amendments to the
-ode under which they are now
operating. Mr. Hazen said there
was no reason why the associa
tions .should be under the state
banking department. C. C. Colt,
peaking for the Oregon Bankers
association, declared that the
bankers of Oregon were not op-
noeed to the operating of building
md loan and savings and loans
associations. He averred that the
proposed repeal of section 57 of
he banking code was an attempt
o clarify the situation rather than
'o embarrass the associations op
erating under the supervision of
he corporation commissioner,
"on flirt With Bank
business Charged
Mr. Colt referred briefly to use
by the building and loan and sav
;ngs and loan associations of pass
books similar to those used by
banks, and advertisements indi
cating that the associations ac
cepted deposits subject to with
drawal at any time. He said this
was the business of banks under
tha laws. , -: i:r;-
A. A- Schramm, state superin
tendent of banks, elaborated' on
the statements of Mr. Colt by stat
ing that hs had clipped advertise
ments from the newspapers in
which It was plainly stated that
savings and loan associations
would receive deposits and pay
them upon demand of the deposit
or. Be also said that the use of
the work deposit by the building
and loan and savings and loan as
sociations was in conflict with the
state banking code.
lf. you-stay with the memher
ahrpltplan you will not conflict
with the banking laws," said Mr.
Schramm. "If it Is true that you
are doing a banking business un
der the meaning of the banking
laws then the people should have
protection."
