idaho Senator Believes Farm ana
Railroad Measure Should Have
Early Attention OF
Congress

Washington,-An extra session Of
the new congress, soon after mex
March a, has been urged by Senator
Borah (Rep.) of Idaho, who declared
he thought that farm and railroad
measures, as well as the world court
proposal and perhaps tax relief
should be taken up at that time.
The Idaho senator voiced his opinion
after call on President Coolidge
but said the legislative situation was
not discussed at their conference. Ad-
ministration officials close to the
president Undated that he had no
present plan for the calling of a
special session
Senator Borah believes that little
in the way of general legislation will
be accomplished at the coming short
session, which is to be devoted large
ly to work on appropriations. He
regards a delay until the regular
meeting of the new congress, in De
cember of next year, as unnecessary
and unwarranted.
AS the result of Senator Lodges
death, Mr.. Borah is in line for chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee, which is charged with chief re
sponsibility for action on the world
court proposal. He said that he
sad no specific plan for such action,
but thought the question should be
brought up and disposed of one way
or another.
