WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23. —
The debate upon the army bill begins
in both houses today. The measure
is to be given full right of way over
all other measures until it has been
passed. Such at least was the program
of the administration leaders in both
the house and the senate last night.
It is believed here that the senate
will certainly pass the bill as it stands,
drawn by the general staff and ap-
proved by the president. Certain
minor changes may be made in the
upper house but it is thought that the
bill will retain all of the salient fea-
tures when it leaves the senate. The
house action is more in doubt, but it
is confidently expected that it will
come up for a vote not later than Wed-
nesday, and administration officials
are optimistic that the main feature,
the so-called selective draft, will re-
main intact.
