PRESIDENT HAS
 STAGE ID SELF
Adjournment of Congress Leaves
 President in Limelight

Washington, July 23 (UP)-For the first time in his administration. President Hoover holds the stage at Washington alone. Congress has ad- iourned after IS months of almost continuous session, during which it threw more brickbats than flowers at the White House.
 tssN Now the president is free to push ahead with his administrative activ- ities unhampered by citicism Of con- gress. It is a situation much more Ito his liking than that which he has faced thus far during his term. His friends believe that for the first time Mir. Hoover will be revealed to the country in his real stature. They are counting much upon his western vacation trip to emphasize his human side, which many feel has been hidden under the burden of controversy with congress.
 Also they are now preparing to broadcast to the country a picture of what actually has happened dur ing these months Of conflict with congress. They are convinced the record will show the president ex- tracted from congress a high pro- the apparent domination of those hostilee to him, especially in the senate.
 Parker Rejection Blow
 The list of MT. Hoover's failures is short compared with the other list. The most serious blows were the rejection of John J. Parker for the United States supreme court the overriding of his veto of the Spanish war pension bill and the senates action in failing to confirm three nominations for the new fed eral power commission. Failure of the senate to confirm these last three appointments may practically paralyze the power commission, al- ready far behind in it's work, until early in 1881.
 The president failed also to oS- tain action on the recommendations of the Wickersham law enforce ment commission for handling min or prohibition cases through L. $. com mmissioners-the so-called jury less trial bll-and another measure for unification of the border patrol. He also failed to obtain final dispo- stion of Muscle Shoals because tho house and senate are deadlockei Railroad consolidation is still in the hands of congress.
 Long List of Victories On the other hand, MT. Hoover made long list of specific requests i of congress in his annual message last December, practically all ci which were enacted as follows:
 Tax O,OOO,OO0 tax cut.
 Foreign debts-French, Austria n and German debt agreements ap- proved finally disposing of all war debt problems except those involy- ing Russia and Armenia.
 Taritf-Hawley-S Shoot bill passed which though not satisfactory 10 the president in all details, omitted the farm debenture plan and re- tained the flexible tariff plan. two results upon which MT. Hoover in sisted most stubbornly.
 Public works-ln accord with Mir. Hoover's desire to stimulate con- struCtion activities, congress enlarg- ed the public buildings program and passed the largest highway building bill and one Of the largest rivers and harbors bills in history
 Power regulation-Law passe l reorganizing federal power commis- sion with full-time commissioners
 Radio-Federal radio commission given permanent status.
 Boulder Dam-Appropriations for starting work passed
 Prisons-Building program pass ed to relieve overcrowding in fed eral prisons.
 Neterans-All pension and veter- ans agencies brought together un- der one head,
 Prohibition-Prohibition enforce ment transferred from treasury 10 justice department; Wickershata commission granted funds 10 con- tinue investigation.
