CONGRESS EXPECTS
TO END SATURDAY
All Major Obstacles Removed
and Adjournment at 3
P. M. Is Likely.

| BY the Associated Press.
Unless plans of leaders are uncX.
| pectedly upset. Congress will adjourn
at pm. Saturday. after the Gus
tomary las minute scramble of mem
bers to get action on pet local
measures.
All of the major obstacles 10 ad
| journment appear TO have been de
molished. with the sessions farm re.
lief record definitely closed and the
bitterly contested rivers and harbors
bill given right of way on the Senate
calendar beginning December ii.
Senate pilots were confident they
could steer the final deficiency bill
through that chamber in time to place
it in the hands of President Coolidge
tomorrow night. Ii was reported to
the Senate yesterday and the way
was cleared for it's consideration to-
day. Several amendments indicated
| that differences might have TO be ad-
justed with the House. which origi-
mated the bill, but little delay was ex.
pected on this account.
Radio Bill i'm Doubt.
Sponsors of the measure to estab-
lish a radio control commission in
dependent of other Government agen-
cies were hopeful that their proposal,
on which the House has taken action.
could be brought to a final vote. but
others were doubtful that this could
be done. The Senate devoted yester-
day to it's consideration.
Despite the desire of many mem
bers of the chambers to get home for
the Summer and Fall campaigns in
which their seats are at stake, party
leaders were unable to see their way
to bring about adjournment until the
unanimous consent agreement was
reached by the Senate yesterday to
take up the rivers and harbors bill
in December. with debate limited and
a vote assured before Christmas.
Rivers Bill Fought.
Acting after a bitter fight, the
House passed the measure recently,
and its provisions, particularly the
| Illinois waterway project and the
| section dealing with purchase of the
Cape Cod Canal. have been the sub
tect of further dispute at Senate com.
mittee hearings.
1t was the indefinite status of this
measure, farm relief and the def
| cheney bill which caused Chairman
Madden of the appropriations com
mittee, a Republican from Illinois and
advocate of the Illinois waterway
project. to lead a group of Represent
atives in a successful effort to block
vote on adjournment a little more
than a week ago. Yesterdays de-
velopment, however. led Chairman
Green of the ways and means COM
mittee to make arrangements to re-
port the resolution to the House to-
day. with few negative votes in pros
pect.

him to trolley line, Dixon said he
