CROP DAMAGE IS
NOT VERY GREAT

Hartford, Aug. 27 P-One hieb-
way only is impassa BILE because of
the overflow OF the Pennington river
and that is the Farmington-u Union
Vile road which at y o'clock this
morning was under fifteen inches of
water, the highway department an
nounced today. However, by 1890
the water had receded five inches
and the highway department expects
the road will be clear this after
noon.
The only other highway affected
is the Slmsbury- -Tariflyille road
which is covered with water in
places, but not enough to necessitate
a re-routing of traffic.
Heavy and continuous rains in
northwestern Connecticut last week
brought threats of serious flood con-
ditions yesterday along he Farm
ington river between Winsted and
Taritfville but the light rainfall of
yesterday fed the rising tide little
and the peak was reached early last
evening.
Today the waters had fallen con-
siderably although still spread over
the lowlands OF Pennington.
Fears of crop damages were quiet
ed today when the receding waters
lett its rim of flotsam just at the
edge of many corn and tobacco
fields, but in most instances none OF
the crops actually were Inundated.

BILLS IN CONGRESS
TO RETAIN STATUS
Adjournment win Have No
Effect on Pending
Legislation.

Congress has really taken an inter
mission for the campaign. In a little
more than six months both houses vii
be back here resuming the legislative
process exactly where 1t was left Tues
day, for all the bills introduced or re-
ported from the committees or still II
conference between the two houses re-
main exactly where they were at ad-
iournment and proceed in December
exactly as If Congress had continued IN
action.
Status Unchanged.
While the first session Of the Seven
tieth Congress has closed. the status OF
all bills is unaffected, and the elections
that take place in November will not IN
a. Y way change the personnel OF either
house. except in those few cases where
special elections are being held to MI
unexpired terms or vacancies.
The Boulder Dam project, which en-
Hvened the last days of the session, Will
come right into the fray once more. II
probably viii be passed next time and
60 to the President for action. He may
take the position that until the engi-
neering board appointed to survey the
project files its report he will withhold
approval or he may approve 1t, feeilng
that the appropriations come OUT OF
subsequent budget anyhow. One OF the
principal difficulties with the Boulder
Dam proposal this time was that the
administration wanted to go TO the
country In the coming election with
record OF economy and with a tax re-
duction bill Of at least S220.0OO.O0O, ana
this would have been impossible II large
appropriations had been made for such
projects as Boulder Dam.
Political Angle Dominant.
On the whole the political angle was
dominant in the last session OF Con-
gress. The preconvention battle Tor
delegates influenced the wTangltng IN
both houses 10 considerable extent.
The next session of Congress should
see a changed attitude. For new
President viii have been elected and
one Of the major parties viii naturally
grow more cohesive IN order TO follow
the new leader.
The next session. however. is due TO
end by constitutional limitation on
March 4 next. so that, aside from the
measures which have achieved a priv
sleged status on the calendars OF the
two houses, not much else viii get at
tention except the regular approprta-
ton bills. And II President Coolidge
has not been drafted and is finishing
out his term the chances are he would
prefer 70 end with consistent record
for economy rather than with any
break in the other direction.
When Congress gets back next time
tt win have 70 deal with the prospect
Of an extra session. A Republican VIC
tory Is not likely 10 mean an extra
session. however, as much as Is Dem
ocrafic victory. The Democrats kept
Congress IN almost continuous session
when they were last IN power. Al the
moment however. members Of Congress
are not looking that far ahead. They
are busy getting ready for the copyen-
lions and their own primary cam
paigns. D. l.
