Th story about the lost appronrla

Mr. Moon hadn't picked a row with
. iieprisentHi.u Mtzgeraiit, chairman of
the Commltt.u on Appropriations. While
Mr Moon was tearing his long black ,
hair and a bevy of Capitol constable j
inr io.-iuk iwumrn ,
time was flying and tho end of the Con-
giej.s was drawing nearer. If Congress,
quit without passing the bill or reenact-
-riK the bill of last year a special si"on
would have been Inevitable,
So Mr Pltzgornld took the reponsl-
billty of offering a concurrent resolution
to reenact the potnl hill of last year.
The fact that Republicans threatened to
filibuster against the Moon hill anvwnv
helped Mr. Fitzgerald in making his do
vision. Mr. Moon heard about this resolution
and hasteni-il to tho Hou-. He uii-
braided Fitzgerald for passing such
resolution, declaring that the set wa
discourteous to him as tle chairman of
the House committee, and Insisted that
be should lone hi-rii consulted,
