The House Week

Work Done. Last week, the U. S. Representatives:

Passed a bill increasing the ration allowance for enlisted men in the Army from 36-c- per day to 54-c-; sent it to the Senate.

Passed a bill authorizing $4,283,716 for barracks and hangars at Army aviation fields; sent it to the Senate.

Passed many a small bill on the Unanimous Consent Calendar.

Tariff Tabled. Tariff revision is a House prerogative. Tariff reduction is anathema to Republicans. So the chubby face of Speaker Longworth darkened with a double frown when, last week, a clerk brought into the House the Senate's resolution for immediate tariff reduction (TIME, Jan. 23). Democrats cried out for action, but Speaker Longworth ruled them out of order and left the resolution "in midair" as a mere opinion of the Senate which the House could and would ignore.
