port of minority members of tho

made from the Senate floor by Sena-
tor Underwood. of Alabama. the nd-
min!stration leader. He said he had
been authorized by Secretary Tu-
multy to say that Mr.. Wilson would
not call Congress back into session
unless grave emergency arises"
Announcement Unexpected.
The announcement was contrary to
the expectations of many OF the Re-
publican Senator's, and some of the
leaders on that side stin believed to-
night Senator Underwood's state
ment left enough leewny for n spe-
cial session call should the President
decide it to be advisable after the
conventions. There was debate on
the floor. however. regarding the
Presidents attitude.
Pleading with their party leaders
for recess instead of an adjourn
ment, the twenty insurgent Republi-
cans and Democrats declared Com
sress had no moral right to desert its
post for the attractions OF summer
resorts or the lure of politics. The,
cuTbing OF protitcers. the enactment
of relief measures for postal en-
pioyees. legislation for merchant
marine. repeal of wartime legisla-
tion, levy OF new tax schedules and
