ing that it entails. only adds to
the confusion Of the general Situa-
ton.
Both Houses devoted themselves
today to organization. The Demo
Gratis were prepared to ouSt the
Republicans from their coveted
chairmanships and cozy offices
which they have occupied since
the war.
In the Senate, the Republicans
retain their paper organiza.
tion by a single vote and retain
a control that is theoretical
rather than actual. Real control
remains vested in the Democrats
and a dozen or so Republican
insurgents, who can upset the
Administration any time they de-
eide to get together.
President Hoover's annual mes
sage on THE State of the Ma.

houses tomorrow. 1t is expected
to strike somber note, in keep

which the Seventy-second Con-
gresS assemblies.

100 WET BILLS

CONGRESS
Both Houses Due for Flooding
As Session Opens; Drys
Scott at Foes Hopes

The prohibition fight was re-
newed with a flourish in the
Seventy Second Congress as
bills poured into both Senate
and House for repeal of the
Eighteenth amendment or
modification of the Volstead
act.
Members leading the anti-prohi-
bition movement presented bills
even before Congress formally
convened, while others disclosed
their intention to introduce mea'
Sures during the week.
Fully 100 bills affecting prohi-
bition will be before both houses,
it was disclosed in a canvass Of
congressional offices.
VETS JubiIant
The vets launched their fight
earlier than usual as a result Of
the decision Of both Democrats
and Republicans in the House to
modify rules. Under the pro-
posed changes the wet leaders
claim they are assured Of di-
rect vote on the prohibition issue.
One of the first measures Of
fered is the referendum resolu'
ton sponsored by the Woman's
Organization for Prohibition Re.
form. Representative Boyland
3D. of New York planned to in
troduce the measure.
The resolution calls for direct
repeal Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, but it's preamble is framed
to show that the re-Submission
to the States is intended as a
referendum On the liquor ques-
ton.
Under its terms, each State
could hold a constitutional con-
vention to which delegates would
be elected on the liquor issue,
thus assuring a popular vote.
Program Meeting Due
A similar measure calling for
re-submission and legalization Of
beer was to be proposed In the
Senate by Senator Bingham (R0
Of Connecticut.
Because Of the wide variety of
proposals for modification Of ma
tional prohibition, Representative
Linthicum CD Of Maryland.

House, planned to hold a meet

program.

cations, in a forecast of congress

Members of Congress, particularly
the Democrats, await it with un-

On Wednesday, Mr.. Hoover will

which will give a full, if not
pleasant, picture of Federal finan-
ces. Treasury deficit for the cur
rent fiscal year will be more than
$4,000, 100000 and it may reach
the enormous figures of $3.0O0,-
900, 900. Never in peace-time have
those figures been approached.
The finance picture will leave
no doubt that taxes must be
materially increased all along the
line-a prospect that industry
and business, already hard-hit
by two years Of depression, can
view with diSmay.

committee has reported that it
found irregularities of thousands

Alabama election, but Shortridge
said the full committee had not
yet acted on the subcommittee
finding.
All Democrats Present
Four hundred and thirty-three
members of the House answered
the first roll call, including the
full Democratic contingent of 219.
The total of 433 accounted for all
but two members. There is one
vacancy in New Hampshire and
one Republican, J. viii Taylor, Of
Tennessee, was unable to attend
because Of illness.
Gamers Name Cheered
When the roll call was COM
pleted, nominations for Speaker
were in order. The Democrats
put on a great demonstration
when Representative Arnold Of
Illinois presented Gamers name.
There welled up from the floor a
veritable roar of claim, for Gar
ner is extremely popular.
A more modest but sincere re-
ception was accorded the nomina-
ton Of Representative Smell Of
New York, as the Republican can
didate for Speaker. Smell was
placed in nomination by Repre-
sentative Hawley Of Oregon.
Four members were appointed
as tellers, Beedy of Maine. Hornor
of West Virginia, Busby of MissiS-
sippi, and Simmons of Nebraska.
1t was a badly divided Congress
that assembled and was faced by
an array of issues as grave and
as critical as any since the World

Unemployment is widespread,
the credit situation through the
country has been weakened, the
railroads are in a weakened posi-
ton. Federal finances are sick
and in the face of all this taxes
must be materiall.: increased.
Seldom. if ever, has the Con-
gress met under more unusual
conditions.
Split Is Unprecedented
There is a Republican President
in the White House, the House Of
Representatives is controlled by
Democrats, and the Senate is
controlled by neither party. Thus
there is division of control un-

memories.
The charge of fraud was raised
against Bankhead by Senator
Shortridge (R0 Of California,
chairman Of the Senate Elections
Committee.
Shortridge offered no objection
to Bankhead taking the oath Of

bama and seven other Senators

while he reviewed evidence taken
by a Senate election suhcommit-
tee in investigating contest filed
by former Senator j. Thomas Hef-
lin.

Senate on Bankhead'S right to a
toga.
Bailey Under Fire
Shortridge also mentioned the
contest filed against Senator Jo-
siah w. Bailey CD Of North
Carolina, by George s. Pritchard,
defeated Republican.
The Californian said he would
offer a resolution authorizing an
investigation Of Prttchard DIS
