New Congress Must
Settle Fate Of Many
Expiring Agencies
Presidents Power to
DevuIue Dollar Also
Lopses on June 30
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Such domestic questions as Presi-
dent Roosevelt's monetary powers,
the soil conservation program and
continuation of the Bituminous Coal
Commission will compete with de-
tense problems for attention in the
new Congress, meeting January 3.
The Presidents authority to de-
value the dollar and the life of the
Treasury's $4,000 100000 sterilization
fund will come to an end June 80,
194l, unless Congress renews them.
Likewise, the present farm act
provides that no soil conservation
benefits may be paid after January
l, 1912, except on farming opera
tons prior to that time. If Congress
wants to continue the program it
will have to act next year.
The first automatic expiration date
coming before the new Congress will
be the Presidents power to reor-
ganize the executive branch of the
Government. No reorganization Or
ders can be effective under the law
unless transmitted to Congress be-
fore January 81, 1941.
The next fixed date on the legis-
lative calendar will relate to appor-
| tiOnment of seats in the House on
the basis of the 1910 census. Present
law provides for eapportionment
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-12-23

unless other action is taken within
60 days after the new Congress
meets.
The life Of the Bituminous Coal
Commission, which recently estab-
lished schedules of minimum coal
prices, will come to an end April 26
under present law. Senator Guffey,
Democrat of Pennsylvania, author
Of the original act, is expected to
seek its extension.
Another agency which would 60
out of existence in the absence OF
congressional action is the Maritime
Labor Board, created on June %,
1888, for three years.
The program of the Public Works
Administration, already curtailed,
will end on June 80 under present
law. The same date fixes the pres
ent legal life span of the Commodity
Credit Corp.
Authority for the Federal Housing
Administration to insure loans for
repair and modernization projects
will expire July l.

For III Vendor ..

BY the associated Press.
LYNN, Mass, Dec. 23.-Jo-
seph Brown of Brooks, Me, is

Christmas trees here, Mr.. Brown
was taken to a hospital for an
operation, The police knew he
wouldn't be out until after
Christmas, SO they sold the trees
for S26, took the money to Mr..
Brown and wished him a

couraging. The British and French
are, therefore, confronted with a
difficult choice They cannot hope
to bisect Central Norway anywhere
between Trondheim and Bergen
without adequate aerial support to
their land forces BY failing to
surround Trondheim in the first
three weeks they have lost the
chance to establish vital air bases
in that area. They also have given
the Germans invaluable time in
which to rush up reinforcements
and munitions.
Must Pay Heavy Price.
If the allies still intend to fight
anywhere south of Trondheim, they
must now pay heavy price for
whatever advances they may make.
If they elect to hold the line from
Namsos through Formofoss to the
Swedish frontier-or slightly below
that, but still north of Trondheim-
then the British and French will
have lost virtually all Norway that
really matters.
There are many observers who
insist that 300 British planes. had
they been employed daily in Central
and Southern Norway during the
first 10 days of the German in
vasion, could have shattered the
