Still Unsettled
az Assoclaled Pregs.l

Oyster Bay Aug. 14-Financial
legislation and other work Of the pro
posed extraordinary session of con.
gress we're discussed today by the
president and his callers, who includ.
ed Secretaries Shaw and Hitchcock.
Senator Cullom and Comptroller of the
Currency Ridgley. Considerable op-
position has developed to the idea OF
calling the extra session in October.
The point is made rhat many sena-
tors and representatives will be en-
gagged during October in their state
campaigns and that 1t would be polit
cally unwise for them to leave their
states at that time. It was announced
today that no definite conclusion re
garding the date of the extra session
has yet been reached
