OPENING OF NEW CONGRESS
IN WASHINGTON MORE LIKE
REUNION OF OLD FRIENDS
Great Majority In Both Houses Are Old Members
Who Were Reflected; Control Remains
With The President

the 18th since the Constitution was
adopted--and nothing which the
previous Congress left unfinished is
any official concern of this ones.
When a Congress dies, as one does
every two years. all of it's works die
with it unless they have become laws
by the signature of the President.
The spirit of Congress does not
necessarily change, however; never
when the new Congress is, like this
one, overwhelmingly of the same
political complexion as the last one
and composed chiefly of the same
individuals. So all of the bills which
the 74th Congress failed to pass have
been or shortly will be presented
to the 18th Congress as new busi-
ness-and some of them, doubtless,
will stand a better chance of enact
ment into law than they had before.
The returning Senators and Rep
resentatives of the majority party
feel that the course upon which they
had embarked received an over
whelming Endorsement at last Falls
election, and that they are, in ef
feet, under orders from their con-
stituencies to proceed along the
same lines.
Sideline Skirmishes
That is not to say, however, that
all the members of the majority in
Congress are of one mind. Signs
are already appearing of section an
