Senator Barkley of Kentucky, the
democratic leader, at first indicated
he would offer a compromise, but
said later he personally favored
elimination of the provision.
The amendment was placed in
the bill by the senate appropria-
tions committee after utility repre-
sentatives said it would restore
confidence of their investors and
enable them to go ahead with con-
struction programs
BARKLEY'S COMPROMISE
Barkley's original compromise
would permit the PWA to lewd
money to municipalities to con-
struct public plants where compet-
ing private firms rejetted "fair”
offers for the perchase of their
plans The public works administra-
tor would determine the fatrness
of the offer.
That compromise, however, found
no favor with Senator Norris (Ind-
Neb), who advocated elimination at
the section.
Senator Adams (D-Colo), floor
manager of the bill, predicted the
senate would kill the amendment.
Senators from agricultural states
concentrated on st tempts to obtain
final approval of an additional
>213.000,000 for farm benefit pay-
ments
The appropriations committee
voted to increase the benefit pay-
ments on cotton, wheat and corn
by transferring 5100.000.000 in PWA
funds for that purpose and adding
1112.000.000 These payments would
be in addition to the 5500.000.000

The flush producer. Iron Moun-

Flow was through two-inch tub- ,
