WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Wash- ington's perennial big show on Capi- tol Hill will open at noon tomor- row, January 3, with mystery shrouding the prospective perform ance by cast of 94 Senators and 432 Representatives.
 The Senate seats formerly occu- pied by Huey Long, the master show man, and Senator Schall another new deal' foe, will be vacant as will the seats of three Representatives.
 To greater extent than any Ma tional Legislature within the mem- ory of observers here and perhaps in Congressional history, the Seven ty-Fourth Congress will convene for it's second session with widespread uncertainty as to what its major mis- sion will prove to be.
 Not until the verdicts of the Unit ed States Supreme Court on meas ures touching the economic interests of millions of American citizens have been handed down can a legislative must program be framed
 AAA Decision Due
 Although President Roosevelt, who has promised a decreasing deficit, can map for the Congress budget ary blueprint or suggest revisions in existing laws here and there, the legislative schedule to deal with the embattled AAA and other prime ele- ments of the New Deap' must await the action of the high court.
 The momentous decision on the validity of AAA, involving processing taxes which provide hundreds of millions of dollars to finance crop control, may be returned soon after the court reconvenes on January 6 following its abbreviated Christmas recess. Should the court find AAA unconstitutional, Congress would be plunged immediately into struggle to evolve new farm relief program
 Decisions affecting the validity of the public utility, the Tennessee Val ley Authority and the Guffey coal control measures are also expected this winter. The Social Security Law and the Wagner Labor Disputes Act possibly may be passed upon by the court before Congress adjourns Should any of these be declared in- valid, efforts may be made to re- enact them in constitutional form
 Bonus Action Seen
 Early action is expected in Con- gress on the soldiers bonus, affect ing millions of world war veterans and their families directly as cash beneficiaries and millions of federal government axpayers indirectly. Advocates of immediate payment of the bonus express confidence in vic- tory at this session even if the Presi- dent vetoes the bill
 Fireworks are in prospect along other congressional lines. Investiga- tion of munition makers activities, with J. P Morgan featured as the chief witness before Senate com mittee and inquiries into alleged lobbying enterprises by SOC le d | (Continued on Page Five)

SENATOR BORAH FACES STUNNER
 IN WISCONSIN
Idaho Man May Have Let Himself Into Squabble,
 State Politics
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Senator William E. Borah, scared veteran of so many political fights, may have let himself in for more wounds in allowing himself to be put in the running for President in the Wisconsin Republican Primaries.
 There is strange situation in Wisconsin, long the home of west ern political liberalism, that could bring about the seemingly paradox ical result of a defeat for a man who is considered one of the out standing liberal Republican presi- dential prospects. Nearly two years ago, the brothers LaFollette, "Phir' and Bob" running for Governor and Senator, respectively, pulled completely out of the Republican party and formed their own Pro- gressive party After years of bat ting with conservative Republican clements, they became independent in name as they long had been in spirit.
 With the formal defection of the La Follettes, scions of the reignine political family in Wisconsin, there went with the brothers formidable group of liberals, powerful enough to elect both. Thus, the Republican party was left, in the view of ob- servers from that state, dominated in general by relatively conservative elements.
 SITUATION COMPLICATED
 The question now is posed; Is it not entirely possible that Senator Rorah, running at the behest of two
 tate political figures described as Republican stalwarts, will find him self hard put in his announced view of getting Republican convention committed to liberal principles?" The faction that once might have been expected to stand generally with him has left the Republican party; will the relatively conserva- tive wing remaining care to go along with him in his avowed plan of torpedoing the conservatives?
 Already it has been understood that the LaFollettes have no kind feelings for the Republicans, State Senator Nelson and Former State Senator Gettleman, who asked Sen ator Borah to enter the Wisconsin lists. The incident apparently brings them closer toward the Roosevelt side of the line in the 1886 election Thus, it creates a situation by which the little block of United States Senate Progressives may walk in different directions again in 1886.
 Senator Norris, who shares with Borah the unofficial deanship of Senate Progressives, has m a e known at least tentative intention to support MT. Roosevelt. Too, the Nebraskan is close to Senator La Toilette. On the other hand, such Progressive leaders as Senators Frazier and Nye have indicated a friendly feeling toward Borah as a Republican standard bearer.
 IMPORTANT PRIMARIES
 At all odds, whatever happens in Wise onsi n will be particularly watched, not alone because of the Borah issue. The state holds it's preferential Presidential primaries on April 2, at a very early stage an- tedated only by the New Harmp- shire primaries, which fall on March 10. Thus, the outcome in Wisconsin may have a strong psy- chological as well as material im- portance

OF INTEREST TO
THE HOUSEWIFE

Ferns grow and thrive in sus-
pended window baskets if soil is kept
moist and not allowed to dry out.
Keep a roll of glued paper and
ball of tWine in your kitchen to use
when tying and labelling bundles.
After removing fudge from the
stove, add half teaspoon of baking
powder. 1t makes it fluffy.
To soften hardened putty, place
in boiling water and allow to stand
until water cOOls.
Do not keep cyclamens in too warm
a room. Too much heat causes the
blossoms to lose their frmness. Keep
soil about the roots quite damp.
A pail of sand should always be
kept near the furnace in the cellar.
Should a spark from the furnace
start a blaze it may be quickly ex-
tinguished with the sand.
