CONGRESS FACING
HEAVY CALENDAR
High Speed Will Be Neces-
sary to Dispose of Business
in December Session.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The legislative machinery Of the
short December session will have to be
geared and creased for high speed to
permit congressional action on the many
and varied proposals suggested for en-
actment.
In addition to numerous measures
left over from the long session, large
number of bills calling for greater par
ticipation by the Federal Government
in the activities of the States are ex-
pected by Republican and Democratic
leaders in both Senate and House.
In surveying announcements OF can
didates in the off-year election cam
paign, the leaders view with some con-
Federal aid of vast proportions. Fed
eral aid for public schools, feed and fer
tilizer loans to farmers, increased con-
tribution to the States highway funds
and reimbursement to the States for
damage by both drought and flood have
been sponsored in the campaign, as
well as pensions for the aged.
Uniform Pension Laws.
In addition, Congress expects to be
confronted with the problem of enact
ing a uniform pension law for veterans
of all wars. With disparity Of $40 a
month existing between the pensions
granted Spanish-American and World
War veterans under acts of the last
session, President Hoover is expected to
recommend Congress make study
looking to enactment Of law to place
veterans of all wars on more uniform
basis
Proposals to broaden the act creating
the Federal Farm Board, to give more
assistance to agriculture, are expected,
also measures to curb interstate stock
market speculation.
The bill to regulate interstate motor
bus lines reached point at the last
session practically to assure final action
at the short assembly. The l0-year-old
controversy over disposal Of Muscle
Shoals remains in dispute between the
Senate and House.
May Revise Jadwin Plan.
Plans have been laid for small
rivers and harbors bill. With ARMY en-
gineers supported by valley States In
their recommendation for revision Of
the Jadwin Mississippi River flood con-
troll plan, favorable action on q meas
ure to accomplish this is expected.
The Hoover Law enforcement Com
MISSIONS measures for relief Of court
congestion, passed by the House last
session, are pending In the Senate,
where action may be delayed further.
With little expectancy for compile
ton Of the investigation by the House
Interstate Commerce Committee into
railroad holding companies, it is con-
sidered improbable legislation affecting
railroad consultations win be formu-
lated
Naval ship building. Army housing.

the questions which also confront the
December Congress.
