CONGRESS- RECESS DATE
ADJOURNS DIST INSTANT FOR
PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS.
Chairman Tawney Permitted to Get
Appropriations Under Way.
District Bill Next Week.

Congress will adjourn for the holidays
Tuesday. the DIST instant, and the Christ
mass recess will continue for two weeks,
terminating Tuesday, January 4.
There has been some pressure for an adj
journment Saturday. the 18th instant, but
Chairman Tawney of the House commit
tee on appropriations made such a strong
plea for an opportunity to get the appro-
priation legislation started that the ways
and means committee has decided to de-
fer the postponement long enough to ac-
commodate him in that respect,
Early Action on District Bill.
Mr.. Tawney expects to be able to re-
port the bill making appropriations for
the District Of Columbia as early as next
Tuesday or Wednesday, and in that
event the measure would be taken up by
the House on either Wednesday or
then would be given to the bill, and
possibly a day or two of the following
week, If necessary.
Chairman Hull of the committee on
military affairs also is hopeful of bring
ing in the army appropriation bill Le-
fore the holiday recess. and he is not
without hope that this measure also
may be considered in advance of the
adjournment.
Chairman Payne in Accord.
Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committee, who is authority for
the statement as to the beginning and
ending of the recess. said today that it
was desirable to get the appropriation
bills under way as soon as possible, and
he expressed the opinion that congress-
men could very well afford to lose a
day or two from their vacation If there
was 81 prospect of having some of the
supply measures disposed of.
There is no doubt that the Senate will
concur in any. action that the House
may take.
