C., May 11 —An attempt will be made to force to the floor H. R. 2, the measure planned to put the Town send idea for old age pensions into effect. The ways and means com mittee has concluded hearings and listened to witnesses for and against the bill. The committee is still in executive session, but there is a feeling on the part of support ers of H. R. 2 that the committee will not report thè bill on account of the administration's opposition to it. Representatives favoring the measure have decided to file a pe tition to discharge the committee and bring the bill to the floor for debate and vote. It will require 218 signatures to bring out the bill, under the house rules this is the only remedy available if the committee refuses to report out the bill. breaking-in pilots as the Columbia affords ample room, free from ob structions, with sufficient protec tion for taking off and landing. There is a possibility that Tongue Point will become the principal training center for navy fliers in coming years. 1 1 Blocking I legislation When the house of representa tives is working on the consent calendar, a single objection is suf ficient to hold up or defeat a bill. For instance, a representative from New York by his objection has blocked a bill to amend the agricultural marketing act to make its provisions applicable to Pacific Northwest boxed apples. The present law excludes produc ers of all types of apples from participating in marketing agree ments and the bill would make the act applicable to apples produced in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The same New Yorker with an- other "I object,” prevented exten sion of the hop marketing agree ment, There are members of the house who are known as profes- sional objectors and they are in their element when the consent calendar is under consideration. Communities, committees and law makers may have worked months or years to bring the measure to the point where it is on the con sent calendar and then some nui sance bawls out his objection. 1 1 1 This and That To enable a few togamen to at tend the Kentucky derby, the sen ate took a recess for several days . . .
