in its terms to encompass reports

help elect candidate, but also con-

During the debate on the amend

should be provision for a continuing

Prospects Darker
For End Congress
Before Conventions

Washington, May 26-Reclamation
relief legislation and Muscle Shoals
bobbed up in the senate today as
further obstacles to the carrying out
of the plans of leaders to adjourn
congress on June Z, in advance of the
national political conventions.
Farm aid measures and the pro-
posal to abolish the railroad labor
board already had threatened to
prove stumbling blocks and with the
addition of reclamation and Muscle
Shoals leaders became doubtful that
the program could be put into effect.
With the fate of the McNary- Haul
gen farm relief bill still in doubt in
the house and with a vote there out
of the question before the end of the
week, Senator Frazier of North Da-
Eota, a Republican of the farm bloc,
served notice in the senate that
there would be resistance to adjourn
ment until some sort of agricultural
aid bill had been put through.
Then Senator Borah, Republican,
Idaho, insisted that congress should
rot adjourn until reclamation relief
legislation had been enacted, declar-
ing that unless it were thousands of
homesteaders in the west would lose
their property. Later he said pri-
vately that farm legislation also
must be enacted before adjournment.
In the face of these developments,
Representative Longworth, Republi-
can, Ohio, said that he and other
leaders in the house as we'll as some
of those in the senate were deter
minced to conclude this session by
the end of next week, and that, fail
ing in that, he would insist that
there be no recess through the con-
vention period. He conceded, how
ever, that it would be possible for a
determined group in the senate to
block adjournment.
Representative Longworth eX-
pressed the hope, however, that dur
ing the next ten days there could be
action on most of the important
legislation remaining undisposed of
and that the opposition to adjourn
ment would thus be dissipated.
After a further canvass of the sit
uation in the house some leaders of
the farm bloc agreed with party
managers that the outlook for pass
age of the McNary- Haugen measure
was dark.
