Omitted Press stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July e:-etraining
to get away for a summer recess. Con
gress today found three possible OBJ
stacles in it's path.
The Senate feared-and expected
that President Wilson would send a
direct request TO remain and pass the
resolution empowering him to take
over the telegraph, telephone. radio
and cable lines. adopted by the House
last night.
The House faced a wrangle In try
ing 20 dispose of the months old
squabbie over $3.50 wheat and the
Senate faced possible delay In neces-
sary adoption OF a resolution condnu-
ing for the present year appropriation
made last year for departments.
Failure OF the conferees TO agree on
appropriation bills leaves a void IN
the treasury.
The Senate is determined not TO
consider the telegraph resolution un-
less word comes directly from Presi-
dent Wilson 70 some Senate leader
that II must be passed before the re-
cess is taken.
Demand for action on telegraph will
keep Congress here from two TO SIX
weeks longer and many put any re-
cess out OF the question. In thaH
event the prohibition and suffrage
question now being kept dormant by
main force will revive IN spite OF all
pressures and Congress will have n
hot, busy summer instead OF a yaca-
ton.
