Congress win be confronted with
The task Of making the country safe
Tor prosperity in its next session.
While similar proposals have been
numerous in the past, they have
lacked the powerful support neces-
sary to place them in the forefront

Jones tR) 81 washington. the chais
man Of the Senate Commerce Conn
nittee, has proposed to secure
action.
Jones plan IS based upon the idea
that it is foolish for the Government,
whose credit is good at al times, to

prosperous condition. He would

Expected Support
other members OF Congress who
made similar suggestions, it is
known, are hopeful of obtaining Sc
riotis consideration to their measures.
The success Of the present Federal
building program. which really got
well under way at time when many
cities were catching up with their
building needs in the postwar pc
Rod. is believed to be responsible for
embarrassing sentiment for the plan.
With q bill already reported and
on the Senate calendar, Senator
Jones believes that business OF the
short session will be SO light that he
can have the measure given pre-.
ferred status.
