CONGRESS LIKELY
To Be IN SESSION
INDEFINITE TINE

| Washington, Aug. 1s.-The war in Eu-
rome has materially altered the congress
sional situation. Not many weeks ago adj
ministration leaders were expressing thu
hone that the minority would restrain any
flibuster against legislation, particularly
the antitrust program, so that Congress
might ADJOURN in ample time for participa<
ton in the fall campaign. The republi.
cans, many of them also eager to get
home for the political fray, promptly
agreed that there should be no ihbuster
and that all would pull together for early
adjournment.
To-day, however the Adjournment
prospect is eclipsed by multifarious is-
sues and the democrats themselves arg
putting the brakes on legislation. Ads
ministratlon leaders when asked about
adjournment, simply throw up their hands
and say time alone can answer; We can
not adjourn while half the world is broil-
ing"
Consideration of the Clayton antitrust
bill is not being FASTENED. 1t now SCENE
