The sweeping Presidential proposals dealt an unexpected blow to commit teemen who hoped to get their revised tax bill onto the floor right away. FLORIDA CANAL NOT ‘DEAD’ WASHINGTON.

Mrs. Real pleaded with ship’ s officers for a few minutes delay be fore casting off. Time went by and still no Mrs. Molony. The officers consulted their watches, and paced the deck restlessly.
