ly relations between the White
House and congress was forecast by
President-elect Harding today in a
short address from the floor of the
senate. Though disclaiming any de-
sire to criticize the present admin
istration, Harding declared it one of
his ambitions to insure better team
work between the two branches of
government.
His speech didn't touch on the de-
tailed question of policy and was de-
livered in response to the ovation
that greeted him when he went into
the chamber in his capacity as
senator and answered the roll call of
the new session. After his brief
speech the senate adjourned.
The galleries were crowded when
the gavels fell in both houses prompt
ly at noon.
Continues Till March q.
Passage of the annual appropria-
tion bills and preliminary work on
matters to be pushed by the new adj
ministration were expected to occupy

sion of the Sixty-sixth congress which
began today to continue until the in
auguration of President-elect Hard
ing on March a.
Sessions today were limited to the
usual formal ceremonies in the SEN
ate and house. Tomorrow the an
nual message from President Wilson
will be received and congress then
will get down to the real work of
the session. Receipt from Secretary
Houston of the annual federal ap-
preparation estimates, aggregating
several billions of dollars, was one of
today's events.
Adjournment until tomorrow out
of respect for house members who
have died since the closing of the last
session in June to await the presi-
dents message, was arranged to fol-
low today's routine. This included
the chaplains prayer, roll calls of
membership and adoption of resolu-
tions to notify the president each
body of today's assembling. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, the Repub-
lican leader, had charge of these
resolutions in the senate, and Rep.
Mondell, of Wyo., still on crutches
from recent accident, acted SINH
larly in the house.
Two New Senators.
Other formalities on today's pro-
gram were the swearing in of Sena-
tors Carter Glass, of Virginia, elect
ed to fill the unexpired term of the
late Senator Martin, and Senator J..
Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, success
or to the late Senator Bankhead.
Several new house members elected
to fill vacancies also were to be
sworn in.

tors or representatives taking their
