SHEPARD MEN
 BACK AT WORK

Sparrows Point, Md, Oct. g. U. P.) - Shipyard workers at the Bethlehem Steel Company's plant returned to work today, ending an unsuccessful two weeks strike for union recognition and higher over time pay.
 Leaders of the Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers said they would continue organiza- ton work.
 "The strike has served the pur- pose of calling forcefully to the att tention of the public and the gov ernmert the plight of Bethlehem employees who are deprived of the right of collective bargaining" Philip H. Van Gelder, union secre- tary, said.
 Tt was decided that continuation of the strike would serve no fur ther useful purpose and would merely hamper the national defense program.
 Bethlehem clearly comes under Attorney General Jackson'S ruling, since it has been found guilty by the National Labor Relations Board of violating the Wagner Act in re- spect to Sparrows Point as well as other yards"

CONGRESSIONAL
 RECESS WANING
House Opposition Blocks Way COP Has Solid
 Bloc Against

Washington, Oct. 8.-(UP)-Pros- poets of a congressional recess until after the election were dirnming again today.
 Administration leaders wanted to recess until Nov. 1S, but their con- tinued delay in forcing the issue in- dicated that they held little hope of succesS.
 The recess efforts centered in the House. Speaker sam Rayburn and House Democratic Leader John w. Mccormack expected to make de- cision some time today on whether to force the question, but said a recess resolution would not be of- fered unless they were sure of enough votes to pass it.
 The obstacle was the solid Repub- lcan opposition under House Repub- hcan Leader Joseph w. Martin, Jr., who also is. chairman of the Re- publican national committee. House Republicans discussed the subject at Ia conference after yesterdays session and though they took no formal action, Martin said he believed they were as unanimous against leaving the capital to President Roosevelt as they had been in June when ad- journment first was proposed.
 Martin said he would agree to a long recess if the resolution pro- vided that any of the majority and minority leaders could call congress back in an emergency.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley said such proposal was silly and purely political".
 Long. sessions in both the House and the Senate yesterday nar- rowed the remaining legislation for action today as follows:
 Calendar bills and a House-approved measure authoriz- ing the creation of home defense units to take over the functions of National Guard units mustered into the regular army; possible action on a $150,000,O0O appropriation for de- fense housing.
 House Conference report on a bill authorizing the $150000, ,00O housing program: the $150,000, ,00o appropriation; passage of minor bills by suspension.

He suggested business men and tax economists collaborate in careful study to determine use full estimate" in any given case.
