That many happenings could

With the Springfield. III, grass

from Monday, differences over

CONGRESS TO
Toll LATE AT
PRESENT PACE
Important Bills Yet
To Come Up Before
Solons; New Speed
Is Urged

WASHINGTON, May rs. Up
With proposals for federal regula-
ton Of industry and agriculture to
the fore, congressional pilots Sat-
urday scanned the legislative hori-
ron and decided Skillful handling
would be necessary II the sessions
end is TO be reached by early July.
Although the bonus shoal was be-
hind-some say definitely for the
session; others insisted only temper
~arily-the leaders agreed more speed
would be needed in view Of the vast
controversial program remaining for
disposition.
May Defer Some
Hints were dropped that some OF
the legislation may be deferred until
next year If II appears the session
may run far into the summer. In
this connection, sections Of the
omnibus banking bill, centralizing
credit control In the federal reserve
board, we're mentioned.
Administration forces. however,
insisted NRA extension. public utility
holding company regulation, and the
social security bills must pass, to-
gether with the few remaining reg
ular appropriation measures.
House leaders have cleared the
way for that branch next week TO
consider an NRA bill which. from
all indications, will clash with the
9ta -montn extension measure pass
ed by the senate.
A compromise probably will be the
ultimate result.
While the house tackles this con
troversy. the senate on Monday will
start its lcng-awaited battle over the
bill TO broaden the scope Of the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Act.
The holding company bill is next
on the list. to be followed by the old
z pension. unemployment-insur-
ance measure. Both Of these pre-
poSals will entail long debate.
Bank Bill Next
The senate then will be faced with
the bank bill so bitterly opposed by
a long list OF banker and business
men witnesses. The banking sub
committee headed by Senator Glass
DIVA is scheduled to close its x
tended hearings on the measure next
week.
Outside the AAA amendments and
the four major program bills remain
ing to be sent to the White House
NRA extension, social security,
holding companies and b~anking-the
following measures are among those
in various stages Of consideration:
Wagner labor board bill. passed
by the senate and pending before
the house labor committee; has
President RooSevelt's endorsement IN
principle.
Navy appropriation bill carrying
$3.50. 1000, 900. passed by both houses,
but in conference on senate amend
ments.
Norris bill designed TO strengthen
the Tennessee Valley Authority law.
Passed BY the senate and tabled by
one vote margin by house military
committee. Proponents have said
they will seek its revival.
