BILL TO SENATE Washington, Dee. 18 U.R)--- The house has approved and sent to the senate conference report resolving differences be tween house and senate versions of the 1500.000,000 rivers and harbors bill. The conferees made only two changes in the bill as lt passed ine senate. One restored a house amendment exempting the Cen tral Valley project in California from the reclamation law pro vision limiting to 160 acres the farms which could be irrigated with water from federally fi nanced projects. The second change eliminated a senate-approved $25,000,000 project for development of the Santee and Congaree rivers in North and South Carolina. Rep. Alfred J. Elliott, D., Calif., author of the Central Val ley amendment, told reporters he had made last-minute fight to save the provision. Chairman Joseph Mansfield of the house conferees had said before the conference that threats of a pres idential veto had virtually kill ed chances of including the El liott amendment Elliott told the house today that there had been "rumors" of veto but that the house should not be swayed by such reports. "I admit that some applica tions of the limitation may be unfair, but I believe that we should have separate bill on the subject" he said. 'The amendment as it appears In the bill would give an advantage to some Urge landowners In the area." Rep, George Z. Outland, D., Calif., also suggested that the problem - should be handled through separate legislation. Elliott denied (hat (he amend ment would work to tha advant age of large landowners and said all congressmen and sena tors concerned with the Central Valley project had approved his provision. , The people of my district will be the ones paying for the water," he said. "If the people of Mr. Voorhls' district wanted to obtain water from the Cen tral Valley district they'd have to carry it over tha mountains in a bucket" FOR OREGONIAN Allied Headquarters, South west Pacific, Dec. 15 (U.PJ Lt.
