The House did not seem to have
shaken off that tired feeling this af-
ternoon which caused it to adjourn
yesterday without transacting other
than routine opening formalities. I'M
mediately after roll call and prayer, it
adjourned to Tuesday afternoon at two
O'Clock, despite the formidable calen-
dar which had been prepared for this
afternoon. An effort to make it Mon
day afternoon failed. However there
are said to be political and personal
reasons for this mastery" inactivity
and Fabian" policy. AS one member
stated it: 1T is better to so slow than
to retrace steps over sround once
covered"

Committee of five which is to be in
constant consultation with the Senate

pointed yesterday and consisting of

When Speaker Baca ascended to his
rostrum this afternoon he found a
huge package of Bull Durham smoking
tobacco gracing his desk, tribute
from some unknown admirer who
knows that RaoG's favCiite campaign
persuader is nothing more than pinch
OF tobacco,
