EXTRA SESSION
FOR CONGRESS
SEEMS LIKELY
Mass of Controversial Bust
ness Is Expected to
Force Action.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Injec-
ton of SO many controversial issues
during the recess into already
crowded congressional calendars
confronted Republican leaders to-
day, with real problem in pre-
venting an extra session after
March (. Some were frankly skep-
tical | being able to avert it.
When congress reconvenes Mon
day it will have but f1fty-one legis-
lative days to transact a mass of
necessary routine business. This
could be accomplished easily enough
we're it not for the additional mat
ters which have forged to the front
and which are sure to cause pro-
tracted debate, especially in the
senate.
Not in recent years has a Christ
mas recess produced such a num-
Der of incipient legislative volcanoes.
During the few days usually set
aside for a quiet vacation, there
have been four major controversies
added to a number which Repub-
lican leaders had agreed previously
must be acted upon.
Major Issues Up
These are the old railroad con-
solidation issues, relieved now for
congressional airing in the new
eastern trunk line set-up approved
by President Hoover; the old soldier
bonus row, appearing in new dress
in the proposals for cash payment
Of adjusted service certificates; the
renewed controversy over govern
ment water power regulation, caused
by the dismissal of three employees
Of the newly organized federal pow
er commission; the quarrel between
Senator George w. Norris and Rob-
ert H. Lucas, executive secretary of
the Republican national committee
and regular Republicans. Then there
is the expected report of the Wick
ersham law enforcement commits
sion on prohibition.
These issues have come to a head
during the recess, and have been
kept alive in a series of state
ments so that corridors Of house
and senate office buildings, usually
quiet in the holiday period, have
resounded with the clatter of type
writers.
Other Fights Slated
These new subjects of controversy
have been added to such other is
sues as Muscle Shoals, the Norris
constitutional amendment for abol-
isEing lame duck sessions of con-
gress, upon which Republican lead
ers have promised a vote, and the
anti-iniunction bills.
In addition, a fight is likely to de-
velop over the administration
$88,000,000 naval building bill. Much
time is expected to be consumed in
debate over the Wickersham law en-
forcement commissions report, and
increased appropriations for the
prohibition bureau.
Debate on all these matters very
easily can hold up consideration
Of the appropriation bills, which
must be passed if an extra session
is to be avoided, and can, without
very much evidence of a filibuster,
be used to block the annual supply
measures.
The danger of such obstruction is
altogether in the senate. Speaker
Nicholas Longworth has his house
forces well in hand, and will get all
of the nine Appropriation bills passed
in the house and into the senate in
plenty of time.

Turn in Modern Economic
Structure Necessary,
Says Professor.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
DIES MONIES, Jan. 1.-Changes
in the fundamental principles of
modern economics now are in
progress, and prosperity will ride
back to the world on the wings of
readjustnlent, in the opinion Of Dr..
E. G. Lockhart, professor of psy-
chology at Drake university.
DR.. Lockfart, who recently COM
pleted a survey of unemployment
conditions in Chicago, believes de-
preston is grounded deeper than
mere psychology of the masses.
''It is more than a matter of
cycles" he said. EFT is the climax
of change in our economic struc-
tuTe that has been in progress since
machinery began to take the place
Of men and animals.
Plight of Horse Cited
Considering horses alone, there
has been a reduction Of approx
mately sixteen million in the num-
Der Of horses in the United States in
the last decade.
'"The decrease in itself is sufficient
to account for much of the surplus
agricultural products, and with dis
appearance of grain-eating horses
have come big oil-burning automo-
biles and tractors that result in in
creased production, and consequent
oversupply of farm products.
Human labor on the routine
level seems doomed to share the
fate of the horse
The jobs held by the laboring
classes in many cases have fallen
before the advance of machinery,
DR.. Lockhart said, and readjust-
ment has not been completed to
provide new work.
Machinery Is Blamed
cit is the man with routine job
and little education who is suffer-
