HOUSE CHIEFS FAVOR
3-DAY ADJOURNMENTS

Prospects Of adjournment Of the
House three days at a time. to permit
members to 90 home and campaign,
appeared bright today.
II am willing to do all I can to help
the members get away" said Majority
Leader Underwood.
Republican Leader Mann, was also
inclined to favor . ''gentlemens agree
ment" to adjourn in three-day periods
after the appropriation and conserva-
ton bills were enacted.
Reports leaked today that Under
wood assured two members OF the Ohio
delegation that they could return to
their districts on August for the re-
nainder Of the summer IL they would
STAY here and helm the leader get the
appropriation bills out OF the way.
Although no formal conferences have
been held yet to decide upon adjourn
ment for three days at a time. prac-
tically every member of the House IA
vors such a plan. This would permit
the House to stand practically in recess
until the Senate passed the trust bills.
