adjournment drive today.

just differences between the house

proximately 500. 600 900. TIL e
house voted S54 100000.
First ma ior task of the senate
was approval Of the social security
act amendments conference report.
Already approved by the house, the
amendments freeze payroll taxes
at present levels TO save employers
and employees an estimated 1905
a00. 900 over the next three years.
They also hberalize benefits by
starting federal old age pensions
next Jan. l. instead OF Jan. l, 1912.
Senate Democratic Leader Alben
w. Barley. D.. KY, was prepared
to offer the sine die adjournment
resolution bringing the session to
an end as soon as the senate APP
proves the conference reports on
the social security and deficiency
bills.

.ession Of the congress. Many
members already had left for home.
In contrast to previous New Deal
wears there was no crowded calen-
Sar of last minute legislation to
