WASHINGTON, Dec. S-Hectic
days are before the Sixty-ninth
Congress which met yesterday for
its first session-one that probably
will carry over well into next
summer.
Besides taxation, farm relief and
the many other problems of legisla-
tion with which it must deal, the
new Congress is certain to launch a
number of Investigations with the
minority firing frequent broadsides
at the Coolidge Administration.
Attack Cabinet Officers.
Present indications are that at
least three Cabinet officers will
come under fire-Secretary Wilbur
of the Navy, Davis of the War De-
partment and Work of the Interior
Department. The barrage against
the heads of the Navy and War
Departments will center largely
upon the conduct of the air defense
with particular reference to the
Mitchell courtmartial and the ShCn-
andoah disaster.
Preliminary attack already has
been made against Secretary Work
because Of the administra tion of
the reclamation law with respect to
the relief of settlers. A number of
Senators from Western States are
prepared to carry on the fight
with demands by some that the In
terror Secretary be relieved OF his
portfolio.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Exclud-

justed service certificate fund and

ed in the annual report made public
today of Director Hines as neces-
sary for all Veteran Bureau ac-
tivities during the fiscal year 1926

this year, when s5O,000,000 COM

year, was allotted for that purpose.
Current appropriations, including
that for the adjusted service fund,
total s4O5.713,5s9.
In an introduction to his report,
Director Hines said that during
the last fiscal year "as over no
other period has the service OF the
