But as to the adjournment plan
early In June. tho Senate has first
given notice that 1t intends to take
up tho steel schedule and probably
other tariff reduction bills which the
House has passed. and with which tho
Senate has so far done nothing. In
addition to this. 1t Is not Improbable
that cotton bill may BIO brought in
