Bent on adjournment tonight,
the Democratic might in Congress
exerted Herculean endeavors to-
day to dispose of difficulties con-
fronting the industrial control,
veterans compensation and other
prime legislation.
Even before noon both House
and Senate were hard at 1.-THE
former at last facing the contro-
versial veterans appropriation
and the latter quickly passing the
bill consolidating farm credit
agencies with a revolving fund
of $120,000,00 to work on.
Conferees from both branches,
meanwhile, gathered to reconcile
the differences between the in
dustrial recovery public works
bills, resulting from Senate
amendments before final passage
of the House bill late last night.
On two dominant Senate altera-
tions, subjecting to taxation all
governmental securities now tax
exempt and requiring publicity
for income tax returns, predic-
tions were that these would be
abandoned.
The House Appropriations Committee
rushed approval of bill appropriating
almost $500, 100000 for the public
works program and the Muscle Shoals
Tennessee Valley project. No difficulty
in getting rapid House sanction was in
sight, inasruch as both branches have
authorized the funds, and Senate pass
age win follow in the natural course.
Bank Bill Combatted.
All was far from serene, however.
Friends of the hitherto blocked Glass
Steagall bank reform deposit insurance
legislation on both sides Of the Capitol
trying their utmost to find a way to
get 1t through. Prospects were doubt
full.
Mindful of President Roosevelt's wish
for adjournment, Democratic leaders
were prepared to keep going until mid
night strikes. Evincing their attitude,
Representative Byrns of Tennessee, the
Democratic leader told the House lit
is to the interest of every member that
Congress adjourn tonight"
Congress ought not to be in session
when this Government has a delegation
handling delicate affairs at the London
Economic Conference" he said.
Representative Smell of New York,
Republican leader said: 1--WE Repub-
hcans want to cooperate and will not
stand in the way of adjournment"
Speaker Rainey told reporters there
would be no extra session again before
January, If the Roosevelt program
works well until then. He predicted it
would
I'VE have completed the administra-
tons program" Rainey added.
Congress hasn't abandoned any of
It's functions at all. 1t has just created
a great machine and authorized the
President to start it to get us out Of
this hole.
He is the engineer. All he has got
to do is get the machinery to moving,
and he has already started some of it."

The Speaker remarked that there
was only one proposal on the present
administration program that might re-
main for action next session-that CIV
ing the President power to name nom
resident of the island as Governor of
Hawaii. The House passed the Hawai-
ian bill, but the Senate has yet to act.
The House ran into delay on the
Independent offices appropriation bill,
carrying the veterans compensation
compromise, and called halt to allow
committee to consult the President
as to some details.
Senators were clearly in a mood to
keeping going fast, approving the farm
credit consolidation almost without de-
bate. On a viva voce vote, it went
back to the House for agreement to sew
eral amendments.
Thereupon the Senate adopted reso-
luton by Senator Black, Democrat, Of
Alabama, providing for SIS, 900 for an
investigation of air and ocean mail con-
tracts.
Awaiting action by the shirt-sleeved
conferees on the industrial bill, the
Senate passed time on the unanimous
consent calendar" stamping approval on
minor pet bills of it's members. These
dealt with bridge authorizations and the
like.
The conferees busted themselves
without waiting the formality of House
