the situation created by the repeal Of
laUonal prohlbitlor-and revision of
the present revenue laws. With a
budget estimated to reach a total of
$4,000 600, 900, including ordinary ex-
penditures Of the Government and the
extraordinary expenditures growing out
OF the recovery program, it seems clear
that reduction of taxes cannot be O.
Eected-even though 1t is the desire IF
the administration and Congress to
make such reduction. The budget di-
rector, Lewis w. Douglas has fixed the
orolnary budget at So 600 900 900, leav-
ing about s3,400 100000 to go for the
extraordinary expenditures.
Congress will be called upon To make
additional appropriations for the con-
tSLluatlon OF the public works program.

Tariff Power Sought.
The President. too. will call unon
congress for tariff legislation, the de-
tails OF which are still closely guarded

delegating power over the tariff than
at any time in its history. In view of
the magnitude Of the powers already
granted the Chief Executive, however,
1t Is believed that the President may
have his way in this matter
There will be legislation, it is ex-
pected, further extending the credit
and activities Of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, which already
has reached out in many directions to
aid business
Amendments to laws written at the
last session of Congress will be at
tempted, and some of the amendments
may have the backing Of the admins
tratiOn. Among the laws to which
amendment will be sought are the
securities act, the banking act-partic-
ularly with reference to the deposit
guaranty clauses-the national recovery
act as it relates to suspension OF the
antitrust laws, and the agricultural
adjustment act.
Stock Market Regulation.
New laws relating to communications,
stock market regulation, regulation OF
food and drugs entering into interstate
commerce. lynching and "racketeerlng.
may be sought. though how far such
measures Will get is conundrum to-
day. The Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee still continues its in
vestigatiOn of the operations OF the New
York stock market and the banking
houses in New York and other cities,
including Detroit. The inquiry promises
to run months longer. and whether the
committee will submit any report or
recommendations regarding stock mar
ket regulation al the coming session
has not vet been determined. The COM
mittee has not yet gotten 0oWn 10 WoFk
on such a measure
The opening day Of the congressional
session usually is without particular
incident. However, the President may
do the unusual thing and get his mes
sage to the body on Wednesday. In
the House there is prospect Of f1are-up
over the seating Of a successor to the
late Bolivar E. Kemp of the sixth
Louisiana district Mrs. Bolivar E.
Kemp. called the candidate of Senator
Fuey P Long. may be asked to stand
aside until a committee can report TO
the House whether she is entitled to be
seated or j. Y. Sanders, jr, the candi-
date of the anti-Long element.
Parties Making Plans.
The Presidents budget message prob
ably will not be received by Congress
until the day after his message "on the
state of the Union" has been read.
The Democratic and Republican party

plans for the session. A meeting Of the
Democratic Steering Committee of the
Senate is expected upon the arrival
here tomorrow Of Senator Robinson Of
Arkansas, the leader. Senator McNary
of Oregon has put off conference of
the Republicans of the Senate. which
he planned for Tuesday morning until
