Legislative Pressure
May Rob Congress
Of Formal Holiday
Work to Jonuory z
DeudIine Is Predicted:
New Session PIons Talked

~ the Associated Press.
Legislative pressure due to the
war may deprive Congress of a
formal Christmas holiday.
1t appeared today that the Sew
enty-seventh Congress, which has
been in session virtually without re-
spite for two years, might work right
up to the January deadline before
adjourning sine die, and Democratic
leaders discussed plans to convene
the Seventy-eighth Congress Janu-
AIRY 4 orr
Many members already have de-
parted for 4 Christmas at home,
however, virtually erasing all chance
OF passing any measure lacking
unanimous approval, since one
member can stop a bill by simply
. raising . point Of no quorum.
Delay Forecast.
This apparently meant that such
legislation, as wartime tariff sus-
pension powers, the telegraph COM
pany merger and longer-hour pay
adjustments for Federal workers,
now pending on the House side,
would be put on ice until reintro-
duced in the new Congress.
However, the preponderance OF
session-end work rested with the
Senate, now begged down In a quag-
mire OF legislation already approved
BY the House. Among these meas
ures are:
l. A redehnition of agricultural
parity. designed to bring about war
time adjustment Of farm price floors
and ceilings.
Z. An administrations equested
grant Of authority for the President
to establish controls over rents on
all real property, commercial as
well as residential, and to regulate
rooming house rates.
). A 5000 ,000, 900 increase in the
borrowing authority of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp.
December II previously had been
mentioned as probable date for
adjournment of the Seventy-seventh
Congress and, despite the legislative
jam in the Senate, some House
members still hoped they could quit
by December 10 or II.
May Confer This Week.
Leaders Of both chambers prob
ably will confer later this week on
plans for converting the Seventy
eighth Congress.
The Constitution calls for each
new Congress to convene January 3,
unless otherwise specified. Since
that date falls on Sunday in 1943,
some leaders are considering a reso-
luton to open the session on the
following Monday or Tuesday.
Separate Democratic and Republi-
can caucuses probably will be held
on either side of the Capitol Satur-
day or Monday Immediately preced-
ing the opening of the new Congress.
These are expected to be perfume
tory. with the House Democrats
again choosing Sam Rayburn of
Texas for Speaker, and John Nc
Cormack Of Massachusetts, as ma
jority leader, and the Republicans
again electing Joseph w. Martin, jr..
a. their floor leader.
1t appeared to be virtually 4 FORE
gone conclusion that Senate Demo-
crat would retain Senator Barley
Of Kentucky As their floor leader
land the Republicans would Te-elect
Senator McNary Of Oregon as the
minority leader.
