DEM OCRATS MAKE HEADWAY
 ON PROGRAM
Party Leaders HaceFe on Ground and Will Offer
 Definite Party Plan

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. The week ushers in period of funda- mental decisions for the Demo- cratic Party. With a Jackson Day Dinner Friday and Spring meeting of the National Committee Satur- day, the signs point to an ending of the jockeying for the starting line which so far have marked activities.
 About the same time the clarifi- cation of party policy may begin in Congress. The Democratic elder leaders are showing signs of get ting their feet squarely on the ground and are preparing to offer legislation bearing so indelibly the party trade mark as to force it upon the country's attention as campaign material. The tax plans seem to be the leaders in the pro- gram.

THOUSANDS OF BILLS PILE UP

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. A. One large sized record the present Congress has piled up in more than nine thousand bills presented in four weeks in the past it has taken three or four months to pile up. The House has 6,659 bills and the Senate 2,419. These are all in- tended for consideration, and only a scant handful have gone even half way to passage.
 Thousands of these bills will of course, die of neglect, and others will be pushed aside by the emer- gency program for relief and tax ation bills.
 Thus far only six bills and reso- lutions have been adopted and passed by both branches of Con- greSS.
