DE PRIEST ADDS A $40,000 ITEM AIDING HOWARD U Congressman Causes Appropriation Bill To Be Sent Back For Additional Sum For Heating WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 —(ANP) Altho Congressman Oscar “Ignoramus” DePriest, as some of his political enem ies like to call him while bewailing the absence of a Negro intellectual in Con gress, may be short on the qualifica tions for ec liege degree, he demonstrat er here Tursday that he knows how to get what he wants—and how. Item Not Included The Interior Department appropria tion supply till came up before the House of Represeneatives Tursday, calling for an outlay of $43,192,904, in- ^ eluding $8,000,000 for the Hoover Dam from which Nrgro were long excluded a» workers. Howard university receives its sup- ; ports out of the In’.erior Department Budget. It has repeatedly been set nut that the university is in need of new j heating plant. The item for the plant was cut out last year. When the meas ure came up Thursday and was ready for passage, Congressman DePriest im- | mediately moved that the bill be sent back to the appropriations committee with instruction to insert and item of $460,000 for Howard's heating plant. j Rep. Byms if Tennessee, chairman j of the committee protested vehement- j tly against such ac'ion. He wanted the i bills to oe passed even ^ boys and girls had to f° C°M. DePriest Is On Job But even though Mr. DePriest did not go to college, he knows hew to count up the three hundred, consider - adly beyond the quorum limti of the House. He glanced around the House and counted the members on his fingers His count shewed that (here were not enough members in the house at the time to compose a quorum. Mr. DePriest (hereupon demanded an official count and the number came to only 205 ten less than a quorum. A Harvard graduate could not have counted better than the Illinois con gressman. The Interior Department supply bill was thus barred until somebody decid ed to do something about warming up the school rooms at Howard. After Mr. DcPricst's action, Speaker Gamer announced that he would move to arrest members who are not present a< next Tuesday's session in order to ; be able to complete a quorum.
