 MT. McAdoos suggestion was submitted formally today and met with instant op- position from leaders and rank and file of both Senate and House. Senator Sim5 mons and Representative Kitchin of North Carolina, chairmen of the Sem ate finance and House ways and means committees, respectively, voiced emphatic objection to proceedings during the pres ent session unless treasury needs make immediate action imperative Repre- sentative Kitchin added that it will be most difficult to show the necessity, tween July 1 and next January or Feb ruary
 President Wilson was given a prelim- mary treasury survey of the financial situation today and will confer next week with Secretary McAdoo and the congressional leaders. The decision whether Congress shall go ahead or wait until the December session. or possibly for a special session after the November elections, as was suggested at the capi- tol today, will follow,
 Congressional leaders tonight believed that way will be found to avoid leg islation now, probably by authorizing ad- ditional bonds or temporary credits.
 Secretary McAdoos assistants are at work on detailed statements to show the treasurys condition and outlook until the December session of Congress. re- port on estimated receipts from incomes tually was completed tonight and this probably will be submitted to the Senate tomorrow in compliance with it's request for information. This report will show expected revenues of about s, 900, coo, GOO, or about $5oo 100000 more than anticipated some months ago.
 If the President decides to press for action on revenue legislation at this ses- sion, Congress will be furnished with a treasury draft of a bill providing for simple administration of tax collection. without the special provisions for def mite rates, which will be left to Con- gross.
