RIFE FACING. CONGRESS- WHEN IT RECON vENES
Three Months of Conflict Presaged for Coming
 Lame Duck Session
FUNDS, ECONOMY AND
 BEER TO BE DEBATED
Over 100 House Members Sing Swan Songs in
 December Meet

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Three months of legislative strife, be- ginning in December is forecast for the current Congress before the Democrats take over the next Congress.
 Sure to be considered by the present. House, narrowly Demo- 5ratic, and the still Republican Senate, with an even narrower mar gin of control, are the annual ap- propriatlon bills for the various governmental departments, hoerds and commissions, governmental economy and Prohibition.
 Any CT all of these may provide prolonged struggle. There seems to Goe l.s.le prospect that any oth- CT importar. legislation can be ta- ken up in the three months that this Congress has to live.
 Adding doubtful qualities to the congressional prospect are more than 100 lame duck members who wont be members of the next Congress because of the Demo- cratic landslide The House will have at least 313 Democrats, III Republicans and four Farmer Lab crites. Seven seats are still in couSt. In the Senate there will be 59 Democrats, 36 Republicans end one Farmer-Laborite
 Since the current House is Demo- cratic-controlled it is certain to lay the groundwork for the program to be showed through with full strength under President RooSe- yslt.
 The Taxation Committee, headed by Representative Fred M. Vim sen, Democrat of Kentucky, has been informed that a tax on beer and light wines, possible when the Volstead Act has been amend ed. will increase Federal revenues at least s3O0,OOo,OOO annually. Pre- oictions are made that modified ticn will be made effective by the present Congress.

Mountain. Kyndle's body was stopped from 100 miles an hour to zero, Yeagley says, in a space of about 2.4 feet.
 That is the distance that the sleeping drivers body travelled and the space which I'eagley says is available for safety redesign in mo- tor cars.
 "Tlhe two big safety factors, " he says, .tare first to cause the passengers body to stop with the car through as large distance as possible in order to reduce the stopping or decelerating force; sec- end to distribute the stopping force over as large body area as pos slble.
 Redesign suggestions to accom- plish this are. Move the dash board to within three inches of the front seat passengers.
 '"Ilhe steering wheel is mounted in vertical position, with all in struments directly behind it. This procures a better distribution Of the stripping force in case of col- lision. The space above the wind shield and that previously occu- pied by the instrument panel in front of driver and passenger is padded
 "This also serves to further dis tribute the stopping force. In ad- dition a broad strap is supplied to stretch in front of both front and rear seat passengers.
 ITO increase the margin of safe- ly further the body of the car may be mounted on horizontal shock absorbers

STATE COLLEGE, Penn, Nov. 11.-"It is possible for a man, in a properly designed and equipped car, to collide, head-on, while trav- cling even at the terrific rate of speed of 115 miles an hour, with cut being injured.
 This statement is made by H. l.. Yeagley, physicist, of Pennsylvania State College as the result of calculations and actual measure ments on car which he saw crash head-on at 30 miles an hour into a concrete ahutment
 The driver of the car, an elderly man, asleep and lying on the wheel, was unhurt. The car stopped in about 30 inches. it's crumpling in that distance accor- dionlike. Luck gave the driver the advantage of these accordion steps in breaking the impatct and saved his life.
 Yeagley has calculated con = hinaticn of changes in interior design of motor cars which would give any passenger the cushioning this sleeping driver had. But his figures unexpectedly indicate that the same accordion "decelleration' is practicable for excessive speeds.
 He cites an actual 100-mile an hour head-on plane crash where the pilot was unfurt-when for tuitous circumstances cushioned him as science indicates every one might be safeguarded. This was the crack-up of John Kyndle, mail pilot, against the fact of Stone

NEW YORK. at 1 pm. all
workers, and particularly all un-
employed workers, should come to
the mass funeral of Estelle Smith, at
Harlem Workers Center, $50 Lenox
Avenue, near 143rd Street. This is
not only tribute to a fine comrade,

Mrs. Smith was a Negro working
