washington, May 14-Adjournment
Of congress by June Is the goal to-
ward which the Democratic and Re-
publican organizations in both the
house and senate are striving. Presi-
dent Coolidge was told today by a.
group of house leaders. They ex-
pressed confidence that the legisla-
tive program would be In shape to
permit a getaway despite increas-
ing talk, particularly in the senate,
that this Is a remote possibility.
During a white house conference.
Representative Garrett, the Demo-
cratic leader, and Representative
Garner of Texas. ranking Democrat
on the ways and means committee,
agreed to do their utmost to bring
about adjournment before the June
political conventions. Their views
on the wisdom of such a policy CO.
incide with those previously ex-
pressed by President Coolidge and
Representative Longworth. the Re-
publican leader.
The president was informed that
senate leaders, Democratic as we'll as
Republican, were in sympathy with
the June adjournment program and
were hopeful that 1t would be carried
through. 1t was admitted, however,
that demand is growing for action on
certain legislative proposals. and
that q last minute hitch in plans
might keep congress in session
through most If not all Of the sum-
mer.
On the floor of the senate today.
several senators declared that Henry
Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals must
be put to q vote before the close of
the season. while Chairman Norris
of the senate agriculture committee
asserted he saw little prospect of a
wind-up early in June. Chairman
Warren of the senate appropriations
committee, urging a speeding up of
the legislative program, suggested
that congress either fish or cut
bait"
Tentative plans Of house Republi-
can leaders for the remainder OF the
session call for action on a variety
of miscellaneous bills and for action
on the McNary- Haugen farm relief
bill, the postal salary measure and
the McFadden bill to amend the ma
tional bank and federal reserve acts
given the right of way either the last
OF this week or early next week with
probably three days devoted to gen.
eral debate.
Mr.. Longworth said that while an
opportunity would be given the
house to pass on the merits Of the
McNary- Haugen proposal which
would set up a corporation to sell
surplus farm products abroad, this
in no way obligated the Republican
leadership to support the measure
Leaders of the farm bloc, however
declare they are satisfied with this
arrangement.
The postal bill will be taken UP
despite unofficial indications that the
president may disapprove it unless
1T carries n revenue producing pro-
vision to cover the expenditures au-
thorized in salary increases.
One Of the bills which probably
will be considered by the house be-
fore the end of the week is one to
authorize an appropriation of $780,
600 for additional hospital facilities
for war veterans.

JOHNSON SLATED
 FOR ENSLEY POST
Recent Examination I: Thrown Out In Race
 For POstOffice Job

Charles O. Johnson is slated to suc- ceed R. s. Hickman, as postmaster at Ensley. This information was secured Tuesday when it developed that O. D. Street, national republican committee man and the referee of presidential pa tronage in Alabama, would recommend Mir. Johnson for the place.
 There has been considerable difficulty in getting the Ensley position filled by republican, and the inclination of Mir. Johnson to accept the place has not been remotely suspected in republican circles or among Ensley business men, it was stated Tuesday.
 The office is held, under the appoint ment of the late President Wilson, by MT. Hickman. Naturally the repub- hcan politicians in this district have made every effort to get the plum for one of the party men. However, in the examinations, MT. Hickman and Rob ert Fairley, assistant postmaster, were the only two of those who were recom- mended for appointment to be examined. Mir. Fairley, although a republican, was unable to secure the influence of Mir. Street, it is said, and through some power at Washington, all exami-
