The Senate today agreed to House
resolution for a recess of Congress!
from Monday, June 8, to Monday
June IS.
Action was taken on the motion ot
Senator Robinson, the Democratic
leader, a few minutes after the House
adopted the resolution.
Robinson told newSmen the Senate
would only meet briefly today tt
adopt any minor conference reports
that may be ready and then recess
without doing any business.
Congressional action today definite
" places the final adjournment date
of Congress for the first time at later
than June IS.
The House met an hour before the
funeral services for the late Speaker
Byrns to dispose of this business after
adopting a resolution formally invit-
ing-the Senate, the President, Su-
preme Court, diplomatic corps and
heads of the military establishments
to the funeral services.

Because of the adjournment delay,
informed sources believe the Roose-
Velt forces chances of obtaining sitter
taxes on undistributed profits of cor
porations have improved.
When the administration leaders
drive for adjournment by tomorrow
night was still on, the word on Capt.
tol Hill was that President Roosevelt
stood ready to compromise by scrap
ping part of his tax program if neces-
sary to hasten the sessions end.
But the sudden death of Speaker
Byrns forced leaders to put the ad-
journment off. While the decision is
known to be motivated solely by the
situation created by Byrns' death, and
not by any desire to obtain more time
to argue in behalf of the profits tax,
it does in fact permit advocates Of
the tax to conduct a more extensive
drive.
In conferences during the next 10
days members of the House, which
has passed a bill more i'll line with
the White House ideas, will have op-
portunity to fight the bill which the
Senate is expected to pass tonight or
tomorrow. Indications are that the
House members will fight hard.
Senate to Pick Up Debate.
All ideas of adjourning before the
beginning of the Republican National
Convention next Tuesday we're aban-
doned as the Senate, which had hoped
to debate taxes yesterday. recessed in
tribute to Byrns.
1t was called together today to pick
up the debate where it was left off
Wednesday night, and leaders hoped
for quick action on the Senate Fl
nance Committees bill, which in
cludes taxes of 1512 to 18 per cent on
corporation net income, Z per cent
on undistrihuted profits and increases
in the income surtaxes in surtax
brackets over $4,000. The House bill
is featured by a 421a per cent levy on
net income, the tax being graduated
according to the percentage of profits
withheld from distribution to stock
holders.
After the Senate acts, it's meas
ure and the House bill will be taken
into a conference of Senators and
Representatives, who will try to strike
an agreement.
Aside from the tax bill and the big
def1ciency-relief bill, which has yet
to be acted upon finally, leaders saw
little chance that any controversial
legislation would go through. This
diminished the hopes of those who
want action on the new Guffey coal
