WAY OUT Of MAZE
SEEN IN CONGRESS
Prediction Made That $3.50
Wheat Will Fail; Success
for Half and Half.

Out of the legislative maze into
which Congress has gotten itself in
the last week: owing to the contests
between the two houses over $3.50
wheat and the half-and-half plan for
the District appropriations. and be-
tween members of the Senate over
wartime prohibition. emerged today
the following probabilities:
That $3.50 wheat will fail and the
law will not be changed dealing with
the price of wheat.
That the half-and-half plan of ap-
propriating for the District of Column
bia will prevail.
That a vote on war time prohibition.
proposed in an amendment to the
emergency agricultural appropriation
bill. will be sidetracked. or. barring
that, the amendment will be ruled out
of order.
That Congress will take recess,
possibly Saturday. but probably not
before July 10, until August 10.
Depends on Wire Situation.
The recess date. however. depends
authorizing the President to take over
the telegraph and telephone compa-
nies during the war is pressed for
passage. If the President insists upon
this. recess may be delayed much
longer.
The House does not intend to yield
or to compromise on the wheat price.
1t was learned today.
Notwithstanding the fact that deal
has been made between the "wets" and
some Of the senators supporting $3.50
wheat. whereby the "wets" will sup
wartime prohibition will be postponed.
it is expected the Senate will yield in
the end on $3.50 wheat, and also that
the wartime prohibition will not be
acted upon. at least favorably, until
after the recess.
Members of the Senate and House
are hurrying away from Washington
and fears were expressed today in
some quarters that in another day or
two it would not be possible to ge,
quorum in the Senate. If that is
the case there will be great difficulty
en-, it will be impossible for Congress
to take a recess should there be nc
quorum present.
Will Continue Appropriations.
The Senate, it was predicted TODAY
will pass the House joint resolution
providing for continuing the old ap.
propriations for the District of Co.
lumbia, for the Department of Agrf.
culture and for the Army when il
comes up tomorrow. notwithstandine
the effort Of Senator Gore, the cham.
pion Of $3.50 wheat, to prevent such
action. The contest between the two
houses over the half-and-half plan 70,
the District may go over, therefore
until after the recess.

ON GUARDIANSHIP
Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee De-
cIines to Make Change.

After a meeting of the national re-
publican congressional committee yes
terday the following statement was
given out:
1.-THE national republican congress

morning and decided to take no ac-
tion relating to the craftsmanship of
said committee. This action OF the
committee leaves the matter of the
chairmanship entirely in the hands
of the present official. Frank P.

Reason for the Meeting.
The meeting of the committee was
occasioned by the publication of a
letter addressed to Chairman Woods
by Representatives Meeker and Gray.
suggesting to Mr.. Woods that he re-
sign the chairmanship. The susges-
tion was founded upon Mr.. Wood 9
record of anti-war votes In the House.
which the writer's of the letter con-
tended would cause his retention of
the chairmanship to initiate against
the political prospects of republican
candidates for the House.
