HOUSE ELEADERS
PLAN VACATION
VIII Attempt to Clear Calendar for
Five Weeks Recess Beginning
Next Week.

Washington, July 26.-Majority
leaders of the house have decided
to propose to senate leaders a five
weeks recess of the house, begin
ming next week, every effort in the
meantime being devoted to celaring
the calendar. The plan contem-
plates that hearings on tariff, rail-
road and marine matters, war de-
partment investigations and similar
committee work continue during
the recess, Republican Floor Leader
MondeIl holding that the attention
of committee members could be
concentrated on these hearings if
the house itself was not in session.
There was some indication today
that senate leaders might raise oD-
jectiOns to the plan, since the SEN
ate is expected to enact several
bills in the intervals of debate on
the peace treaty which would be de-
layed if the house was in recess.
Consent of the other body is neces-
sary for either house or senate to
recess for more than periods of
three days at time.

certain that every amendment pro-
posed would be beaten by from

the senate's action, Ia his opinion,
was the question of the phraseol-
ogy of the resolution of ratification
which might contain qualifying
terms.
