CONGRESS And
COOLIDGE CROW
FARTHER APART
Deadlock Exists on Every
Main Legislative Issue
Up for Decision.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Con-
gress is at loggerheads with itself or
with President Coolidge over virtu-
ally every important issue of legis-
lation advanced this session, and
evidences of worry at this con IL
tion are manif t today at the Capt.
tol and the White House.
Flood control, farm relief, tax re-
duction, investigation of the S-4
sinking-all are wedged in a legis-
lative deadlock which is tightening,
with the session nearly two months
old.
The Observation-Disclosures Re-
publican coalition is in the saddle in
the Senate and riding roughshod
over Republican plans.
The House is at odds with the
Senate over tariff and tax Iegisla-
ton and the Presidents proposed
S-4 INJURY
MIR. Coolidge's suggested farm
compromise and naval program face
serious objections in both houses.
Republicans say they expect him to
veto the Jones shipping bill in the
form in which the Senate is pro-
ceeding to adopt it.
Both houses are resisting Mr..
Coolidge's proposal that Mississippi
Valley States pay 20 per cent of
flood control costs.
These issues comprise practically
all the important national legisla-
ton before Congress. No important
measure yet has passed either house
and none is in shape for final &C
ton now.
