By the Associated Press.
The Roosevelt Congress, carver
OF a mighty legislative program
for national recovery, adjourned
at 1:21 o'clock this morning, after
chalking up a final notable victory
for the President.
It's last act was accepting of
his terms on expenditures for vet
Grams, thus safeguarding the
Presidents economy program
which lops off hundreds of mil
lions to achieve balance of the
ordinary budget.
The Senate fought to the last
the same fight that had held up
adjournment since last Saturday.
However, blocked by the utter re-
fusal of the House to accept an
enlargement of spending for ex-
soldiers, it gave in, voted As to SO
to take the compromise offered
by the administration, passed the
$650,000,000 independent Offices
appropriation bill and adjourned.
Congress Members Thanked.
The House, that had fingered
idly through the night quit, too,
after cheering and yelling ap-
plause at a last minute letter
from the President.
In it he thanked Senators and Rep
resentatives' "for making possible, on
the broad average, more sincere and
whole hearted Cooperation between the
legislative and executive branches of
the United States Government than has
been witnessed by the American people
in many long year"
That modest sentence covered a rec
ord which has no parallel, in American
history. Every major request by the
President, some for power greater than
ever given an Executive in peace-time
and perhaps in war, had been granted.
The Congress had stuck almost ex-
clusively to the Presidents own pro-
gram. 1t had done its work with unex-
ampled speed, adjourning within week
Of the date on which he proposed that
1t go home. and that despite q
smashed all economy programs in the
past-funds for veterans.
This last fight brought harsh words to
the Senate even in the closing hour.
The debate had been concluded, the
compromise accepted and the last bill
passed when Senator Glass, Democrat,
Of Virginia, took the floor to denounce
what he called "a wanton and unpro-
yoked attack" on himself by Senator
Cutting independent Republican, Of
New Mexico, who earlier in the night
his part in the final conference agree
ment on the veterans issue.
Many Members Go Home.
wk1n Glass was done, adjournment
was voted, and the echoing Capitol
chambers Of debate were closed until
next January.
Many of the members already were
homeward bound today to pick up their
long-delayed home plans. Others re
mained to take part in governmental
conferences for execution OF the bills
they have passed. Some planned to
attend the Presidents signing today Of
the last notable bills, the industrial con-
troll bill, the Glass bank reform act and
the railroad reorganization measure.
Adjournment found undone only a
few tasks. The administration bill to
make possible naming OF mainland
Governor for Hawaii died under the
threat of a filibuster by Senator Van
denberg, Republican, OF Michigan.
Senate resolutions to block the Presi-
dents s25,000,000 saving program for
bureau reorganization were left to die
unconsidered by the House.
Relief for municipalities in default OF
their securities also was lost through
failure of the Senate to pass on the bill.
Sidetracked earlier had been the Presi-
dents request for power to impose en-
bargoes on arms and munltlon ship
ments to warning countries.
Tension Marks Night Session.
Packed galleries and a crowded floor
with members of the House lined up
against the rear wall and sitting around
on the floor, had locked on interestedly
as the Senate last evening turned down
the last lap of the session.
Among Senators the tension was con-
spicuous from the moment the night
session began.
Soon after pm. Senator Byrne'
(Democrat) of South Carolina present
ed formally the conference report or
the independent Offices bill, carrying
the controversial veterans provision
Immediately debate rang out, with
continuing hubbub from the back o.
the chamber and the galleries.
A speaker finally finished. Vote
