ground to be covered will be more clear
ly defined at a conference of congress
sional leaders with the President-elect
in New York Thursday.
At that time also the question of an
extra session may be settled, with indi-
cations that one likely will be called for
some time In April. The Democratic
chieftains in both the Senate and
House are convinced that one cannot be
avoided II campaign pledges on prohibi-
ton, farm relief and other issues are to
be redeemed
Committees Called.
Congress was in holiday recess today
but committees were called together to
speed consideration of proposals to
legalize beer and give financial aid to
farmers through bounty system.

drive to push through appropriation
measures. achieve economy in Govern
ment operating expenses, reform the
banking laws and prohibition repeal will
be in full swing. A beer bill has passed
the House and a farm relief measure
will be taken up in that branch before
this week Is ended. On Thursday the

form legislation.

Roosevelt Will discuss all these sub
jects Thursday, attempting to reach
conclusions on their ultimate success
in passing Congress and President

meeting Railroad legislation and the
general political situation likewise will
be gone into.
The Senate Judiciary Committee was
called together again today to consider
