 Has Been Done

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-Mem- bers of Congress today left the Ad- ministration's special session pro gram up in the air and began l2 day Christmas vacation deferring enactment of major legislation un- til next year.
 The sudden adjournment of the special session just at dusk yester- day, after the Senate passed the Housing Bill, 66 to 4, found none of President Roosevelt's recommenda- tions actually written into law
 Administration leaders contended the session served valuable pur- pose in finishing preliminary work on Farm, Housing and other Ad- ministration measures for which ap- proval will be sought at the regular session, converting January 3.
 Administration leaders originally intended to wind up the special ses- sion so that joint conference con- mittee could adjust differences in the House and Senate Housing bills before adjournment.
 Some members appointed to the Joint committee are among the many members who already have gone home, which necessitates post ponement of final action until Jan uary.
 Farm legislation, which is the key item of the program. is in the same status as bills for housing legisla- tion and crop control which have passed both houses and are now be- fore a conference committee.
