Execution Date Is Up To Gov. Cone; Accused Unmoved By Verdict
HOUSE MOVES TO ADJ0UR N M ENT
Two M a ajOr Bills, Plus Minor Measures Remain
 to Be Acted Upon
BY LYLE c. WILSON

(Onlteu FreSS StaH COrreSpOndent)
 Washington, June 16-(UP)-The house started congress down the ad- journment trail today, converting at 10 a. m. for speedy disposition of the $3.753, 100000 recovery bill and 8 $293 .000,0 deficiency. bill.
 Adjournment was expected by late afternoon unless unexpected compli- cations develop.
 The house was convened two hours before the senate in order to afford members additional time to act on minor measures and private bills.
 Twenty members were on the floor when the chamber was called to order. About 60 struggling visi- tors watched from the galleries as the chamber started action on mi- nor legislation while awaiting con- ferees' disposition of the recovery and deficiency bills.
 Conferces on the deficiency bill reported progress. They said they had agreed on about half of the 60 amendments in dispute before recessing until 1 D. m.
 They refused to reveal what they had accomplished specifically but estimated it would take only about an hour to complete the job, which would enable congress to act final ly on the last appropriation bill of the session.
 In final gesture of defiance to President Roosevelt after postpon- ing sine die adjournment until to- day, the house last night bowled over his veto of a. $A8. .a00. .o0o-a year gift from the treasury to farm debtors. The senate will act on the proposition today.
 Coincidentally, conferees repre- senting the house and senate defied the president on another farm subsidy issue by agreieng to appro- priate $2l2,000,000 to provide price guarantees to growers of rice, to- bacco, cotton, corn and wheat.
 This $260,000,000 award to agri- culture made against MT. Roose- velt's protests Is small change, how ever, compared with the approxi- mately $l,000,000,0 900 which this ses- sion of congress provided on White House recommendation to finance crop control and otherwise aid agri- culture. National defense appropri- ations also topped $l000,000000 for the session of congress now ad- Journing.
 So with a record of approximately $l2,000, 100000 of appropriations in five and one-half months, this ses- sion probably will adjourn today. New Deal leaders hoped to hear the gavel taps by mid-afternoon.
 Awaiting final disposition as the house meets at 10 a. m. tEST), and the senate convenes at noon are:
 l. The $3,753 100000 recovery relief appropriation.
 2. A $293, ,6l5, ,000 deficiency bill including a $5,000,000 appropriation for two battleships in the Roosevelt emergency naval program.
 Speaker William B. Bankhead an- nounced that he planned to leave Washington on 8 4:45 D. m. (EST) train. Other leaders were equally hopeful of ending the work quickly today. MT. Roosevelt's valet Is ready to pack his bags for the journey to Nahant, Mass. where the Roosevelt family Saturday will witness the wedding of the youngest son. John. to Anne Lindsay Clark, of Boston.

Judges Wynne, hglis M Conference Here

dropped into his office for a "chat". while enroute to the Litchfield courthouse. We were just chatting and did not realize that time was flying so," he continued.
 Judge Wynne arrived here shortly after II o'clock and left after noon. He was with Judge Inglis for about half an hour.
 In his important Merritt Parkway jury decision. Judge Wynne. for mer secretary to Governor Cross. held that modern criminal prosecu- ton requires the present method of Investigation. In so doing. he denied motions by G. Leroy Kemp, indicted land-agent. who sought to have the indictments quashed on the ground that the procedure was illegal. The procedure haa been much the same as that utilized here, although there have been several marked differences.
 Observers viewed the conference of the two judges as important, un- t!l Judge.Inglis a,iieted rumors that 1t pertained to the motions expected to bc filed here.

Grand Jury Adjourns; 7oReconueneJune 29

 CTS at Last Election Was Under Investigation

The Waterbury Extraordinary Grand Jury recessed until June 29 yesterday. after questioning Judge Edward Mascolo for the greater part of the day. The recess. accord ing to Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn, is to allow him and his staff an opportunity to work unhindered on the volumes of legal material which must be prepared in connec- ton with the charges already against 3l men as result of the jury's probings.
 MT. Acorn must also answer demurrer filed in Hartford Superior Court yesterday by Representative John D. Thoms of Waterbury. charging that the bench warrant under which he was arrested last week. is illegal. He charges that the complaint is insufficient in law" and asks that 1t be quashed. Thoms is one of five legislators arrested on charges of accepting bribes for influencing legislation.
 Whatever difficulty arose from the early morning questioning of Judge Mascolo yesterday was ap- parently rectified at a tri-cornered conference from l o'clck until 1:25 o'clock yesterday. Judge Mascolo conferred with Judge Ernest A. In- glis and Mir. Alcorn at that time, and then left for lunch.
