END OF CONGRESS
SESSION NEARING
Adjournment May Come in
10 Days With Tax Bill
Storm Center.
BY j. A. OLEARY.

Congress is heading toward ad-
journment in about 10 days, with
the tax bill likely to be the storm
center in the closing hours of tedi-
GUS seven-month session.
There is a strong desire In both
major parties to throw the legislative
wheels into high gear and get through
next Saturday, but it is doubtful
whether conference reports can be
adopted and other last-minute odds
and ends disposed of before the mid
die of the following week In any
event, there were no indications yes
terday that the session will run be-
yond August "a.
The key to the entire situation is
in the Senate. and the date of ad-
journment depends largely on how
many amendments to the tax bill
are offered from the floor, and how
much debate they provoke.
The Finance Committee is striving
to get the revamped revenue measure
ready for Senate debate by late Tues
day or early Wednesday, and Chair
man Harrison expressed the personal
hope yesterday that one or two night
sessions of the Senate be held. if
necessary, to expedite its considera-
ton.
McNary Urges Speed.
Senator McNary of Oregon, Repub-
lcan floor leader, is one of those who
believes Congress should complete
its labors as quickly as possible and
adjourn. He still hopes this may be
possible by Saturday, August IT, but,
like congressional leaders, he realizes
that, even with steady progress, sew
eral legislative days beyond that date
may be required.
One thing is fairly certain, namely,
that once the tax bill is through, it
will be extremely difficult to hold the
lawmakers in session for other last
minute, controversial issues.
The Senate is likely to pass the
tax bill by Saturday, even if adjourn
ment is not possible by that date. and
while conferees are working out the
differences between the two Houses
on that bill, the remaining conference
reports on other must" bills could
be called up and disposed of.
Other Measures Unfinished.
Major issues that have passed both
House and Senate, but are still in an
unfinished state include:
Revision of the agricultural dust
ment act, on which the agreement of
