Washington, Jan. 3-INS-Pass-
Ing into history as the greatest
spending parliament in all peace
time history. the 10th Congress died
at noon today as the nth came
into power to face a tremendous
array of problems arising out of
wars that encompass the globe.
In the new Congress will rest
the fate OF the administration 5
plans for extending more aid to
Britain, for building up the ma
tional defense, for increasing taxes
to finance precedent-shattering ex-
peditures, for ending unemployment
and for aiding the poor. the needy
and the aged. And finally, II may
be called upon to settle the ques-
ton agitating most Americans
whether the United States shall go
to war.
The old Congress, joining the
parade Of time at noon, was noted
for two major accomplishments.
First, It enacted the first peace
time draft bill in American history
and second, it shattered all records
for peacetime appropriations when
it went TO work to create an ade-
quate national defense on land,
sea and air.
Longest In History
The House adjourned at noon
Thursday, the Senate following at
noon today. This gave the old
Congress the longest session in
American history-367 days. It's
nearest rival for that distinction
was the second World War Con-
gress which met 1854 days.
The new Congress meets with
one major issue ready for 1.-THE
question of leasing or lending guns,
| planes and munitions to Britain.
President Roosevelt proposed this
plan for aiding Britain and will
ask general authority for 1t in his
annual message to Congress, to be
delivered Monday.
Wants Blanket Power
Mr.. Roosevelt is expected to ask
blanket authority for this aid, in
belief his executive advisers can
work out proper formula later.
His recommendation will touch off
q major conflagration in House
and Senate, since his critics al
ready have denounced the plan as
projecting the United States into
war;
There was general agreement on
Capitol Hill that British aid and
related war issues will dominate
the new Congress.
Sen. Alban Barley, Democratic
leader of the Senate, said:
"The international situation and
all its qualifications will provide
the issue that the new Congress
must decide. This includes taxes.
further efforts at national defense
and even amendment OF the Social
Security laws and some legisla-
ton for coordinating assistance
