BY LAWRENCE MARTIN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Sixty
Eighth Congress will meet Monday at

1t is a Congress that faces trouble
right from the start. There are a
number Of reasons for this. They In
clude:
1. 1t is a presidential year" Con-
gress. The session will not really get
down to business until after the New
Year. Politics will be in the air every
minute.
2. 1t is controlled-potential at
least-by a new group Of progressives.
headed by La Toilette, who have it in
their power to make infinite difficulty
for both the major party groups, par.
ticularly for the Administration Re
pubHcans.
8. It has more work to do-as Is
usual with Congress-than II can do
between now and next June, when the
political conventions will call a halt
on legislative activities.
The clans were gathering today,
with many new faces seen in the his
toric halls of the Capitol. The last
congressional election was an upset
in more than one way.

to watch in phllosophic calm while the
rest Of "the boys" get all excited over
what to Uncle Joe" is just another

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Senator

Ralston, always home-loving man.
is existing at a little hotel far out Of
the bright light district. So far. he
is almost an exile and not a happy
one. 1t is not difficult to see his

Whether the Senator will accustom
himself to Washington life, settle
down and make himself happy Is a
question, Looking forward to six
years of an existence, which with it's
social tinsel must always be artificial
to him, will add to his sadness unless
he resigns himself to the job before
him.
But he's never been UP against any
thing just like this. he never wanted
to be. and its little difficult for an
