House agriculture committee reports favorably on engineering experiment station

The proposal to give cooperative Federal aid to engineering experiment stations and land grant colleges has made considerable progress during the present session of Congress. In all, five bills have been introduced on this subject. Senator McNary introduced S. 696, Congressman Arentz, H. R. 7831 and Congressman Haugen, H. R. 9717. After extensive hearings and investigations, the best thought of all these bills was incorporated in two measures, H. R. 11789 by Haugen and S. 4172 by McNary. These latter two bills, identical in substance, are the rallying points for the friends of this legislation.
