CONGRESS CALM AS CLERKS READ COOLIDGE SPEECH Leaders Discuss Business While Document Is
 Being Read PLUNGE INTO WORK ON ITS CONCLUSION Few Proposals Will Be- come Laws This Ses-
 sion, Say Chiefs
fRv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. B. Congress received President Coolidge's annual message to- day immediately upon conven- ing and after listening to its reading plunged into the se- rious work of the session.
 With the exception of the two years Woodrow Wilson was ill in the White House this was the fir time since 1913 that the executive had not delivered his annual communication in person. It was transmitted by messenger and read separately in the two houses.
 Congressional leaders generally held out little hope for tn, translation of many of the Presidents proposals into law before this congress dies on March 4. Their views already have been given to the executive at conferences, the latest of which was held early today between the President and Senator Cur tis of Kansas, the republican senate leader, and Senator Pepper, republican, Pennsylvania.
 Bil:s Cover Proposals
 A number of the proposals advanced by Mr.. Coolidge are covered by bills which came over from the last session. There are other pending measures to which the President voiced disapproval, chief among them being Senator La Fol lette's bill to change the basis of valua- tion of the railroads.
 The reading of the message in the two houses was simultaneous. There were comparatively large crowds in the galleries Tho appeared to give even closer attention to the Presidents rec concentrations than did the members of the house and senate.
 As the reading went forward there were private conferences on the floors by groups of senators and representa- tives. Much of the time, however, the lawmakers followed the reading close Iy especially that relating to the sub- jects of taxation, agriculture and Mus cle Shoals.
 Just before the message arrived the house steering committee had mapped out legislative program providing for passage by the house before the Christ mas recess of at least three of the dozen annual supply bills.
 Tentative plans of the leaders call for a holiday recess during Christmas and for a one-day layoff at New Years. Belief was expressed that if this program were adhered to and ap- propriation bills given right of way throughout the session, all of them will be in the hands of the President before March 4. The interior department ap- propriation bill, first of the supply measures to be drafted was taken up today by the house.
