CONGRESS OPENS
REGULAR SESSION
CLARK AND MARSHALL CALL THE
HOUSE AND SENATE TO
ORDER.
MANY MEMBERS ARE ABSENT
Ambitious Program Is Laid Out for
the Nations Lawmakers, and
They May Be Busy Most Of
Next Year.

Washington, Dec. AT the stroke
of noon today gavels sounded in SEN
ate and house signalling the opening
Of the second, or first regular, session
of the Sixty-Third congress.
The familiar figure of Speaker
Champ Clark was seen in the house
chamber. In the senate Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall called the senators to
order. This was the first regular SEES
sion of congress in NAM years which
was ushered in under entirely Demo
cratic auspices-with Democrats in
control of the house and senate and
a Democratic executive in the White
House.
Galleries Well Filled.
AS is usual on such occasions, the
galleries were filled, there being a
brilliant display Of millinery and win
ter fashions by women spectators.
The diplomatic galleries in both
houses were well filled, diplomats of
South America and Central America
predominating in the attendance.
In the house the blind chaplain Of
that body, Rev. Henry N. Couden, de-
livered the invocation, after which a
few new members were escorted to
the speakers desk to take the oath
Of Office. This ceremony " the
house proceeded to uninteresting ou-
tine business. Routine business and
preliminary skirmishing over the cur
rency bill occupied the attention Of
the senate.
Subjects They viii Take Up.
Many members, who were detained
here during the summer and autumn
months, have not returned yet, some
declaring they would remain away I'M
til after January !, so as to be at
home for the holiday season. They
think little important business will
be transacted until after the begin
ming of the year.
Although the program had not been
definitely formulated, members look
forward to tackIing one Of the most
ambitious legislative tasks that con-
gress in a long time has attempted.
Here are some of the subjects Of legis-
lation that the new congress will take
up.
Final action on the currency bill.
Antitrust legislation.
Rural credits.
Naval program.
Passage Of q dozen appropriation
bills,
Train safety and safety on the ocean.
Regulation Of the shipping trust.
Final action on the reports of lobby
INVESTIGATING committees.
The cost OF living problem.
Legislation to protect women work.
ers.
River and harbor budget.
Legislation looking to the building
of q government railroad IN Alaska.
May Have to Consider Mexico.
Another important matter which 1t
is believed will engage the attention
of congress, is discussion of the Mex
lean problem. However, this de-
ponds on the action of President Will
son. There will be no action relative
to Mexico, most members think, I'M
less the president gives it his ap-
prevail.
