Instead Of squeezing lemons
whenever a drink of lemonade is

Members of Senate and House Determined to Put Over the Plan Pre- pared By President
By LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff COrresDontlent


 Washington, March 9-(UP)- Congress meets to-day in counter attack against depression, hoping to enact before midnight President Roosevelt's emergency bank pro- gram. The extraordinary session convenes at noon.
 Hurry-up orders came from the White House last night in a con- ference attended by congressional leaders who promised immediate action.
 T believe we can pass this bill before midnight" said Minority Leader McNary, and Majority Leader Robinson agreed.
 we can't bubble now" said Senator Dill, dem, Washington, another of. the conferees. "The country doesn't want to hear speeches. It wants action. pre- dict the country will get action to- day."
 Senator Johnson. repn, Califor- mia, said: 'I'm content"
 The House is scheduled to pass the Roosevelt bill to-day under gag rules and with only 40 min- utes of debate. The more delib- crate Senate must submit to the banking and currency committed MT Roosevelt's plan to enable banks to reopen for business Fri day.
 T shall call my committee in- stantly," said Chairman Fletcher, who heads the banking group un- der the new democratic Senate regime. He said it would take only 8 matter of minutes for the com mittee to give the bill a favora ble report.
 Congressional leaders were pre- dieting yesterday that the emer- gency bank bill could not be dis posed of by Saturday. After the two-hour White House conference they were optimistic of immediate action.
 The only possibility of delay is in the Senate where talk depends on senator's personal inclinations to speak. But under the caucus rule, Senate democrats can and will, if necessary, be bound to hasten bank relief into law.
 Every effort will be made to jam the relief bill through both Houses without amendment. Failing that the legislation must go to confer ence and probably experience some delay.
 Both Houses will organize to- day. Speaker-nominate Rainey will be elected formally to that office. After President Roosevelt's mes- sage is read. Rainey will recognize Chairman Steagall of the banking committee to present the emergen- cy bill for immediate passage.
 The Senate will elect Senator Pittman. dem, Nevada, president pro tempore and will put into office a democratic sergeant at arms and secretary. The bank bill then will be referred to the bank ing committee and consideration of the measure will begin as soon as the committee reports.

cape is made from reality. This method of escape through flight fails to meet the test and is no real escape, but only an illusion.
 "The second means of escape Is through surrender, by facing the facts and becoming resigned to them," added the speaker. Those that use this method of escape leave some important part of their character behind them and thus are not making a complete escape although they come closer to mak ing an escape than those who live in the unreal"
 The speaker concluded saying that the only escape is through ones decent self. through the transforming power of a new in- terest and in knowing that one is working in harmony with Christ to bring about a greater day of Gods presence on this earth.
 ''In the days to come, the only escape is in facing the facts and working through Gods power for good to bring about a great bro- therhood of man. We can express Christ in our inner lives and in our contacts with others and thus give more to the world than we ever did before."

There is no escape from the burden of social responsibilities that beset man to-day, except through ones decent self, the transforming power of a new. in- terest and the knowledge that one is marching forward in step with Jesus Christ, declared Rev Fillmore M.

 We all crave escape from some- thing and while the things may differ, the craving is common to everyone. There are three ways of escape. The first is flight, such as boy going home from school to escape homesickness. People try to flee from responsibilities by drink, drugs. motion pictures, flights of the imagination, books of fiction, plays and other forms of the un-, real. In some cases the individual fees without realizing it. such as those who go insane when unable to stand the burden any longer.
