Congress Hopes
To Begin 21-Day
Recess Tuesday
Adjournment Hinges
On Accord on Length
OfCCC Extension

Congress hopes to adjourn
Tuesday or Wednesday and may
take holiday until January 10
if sufficiently long extension
can be obtained for the Com
modify Credit Corp, Senate Ma
jority Leader Barkley said today.
The Senate and House are plan
ming to extend the life of the CCC
until some time in February, but
the Senate voted an extension to
February %, while the House limited
it to February 5.
In the absence of legislation the
CCC will expire December 81.
Congress Leaders See President.
Senator Barkley disclosed the adj
journment plan at the White House
after he and other congressional
leaders saw the President. Senator
Barkley said the legislative situa-
tion was rot discussed, but that the
lengthy session with the President
was devoted entirely to Mr.. Roose-
velt = recital Of details on the con-
ferences with the Allied war leaders.
Others who saw the President
were Vice President Wallace, Speak
er Rayburn and House Majority
Leader Mccormack
The Houses action in setting the
February 5 date yesterday prompted
the Senate to schedule an unusual
Saturday session today to decide
what to do about the difference in
dates. Senator Barkley said he be-
lleved a compromise on the extern
sion could be reached.
House Republicans led by Repre-
sentative Clifford of Massachusetts
baked at legalizing the controversial
food subsidy authority for two
months more-from January l to
February % Mr.. Clifford asserted
the administration was "stalling for
time to try to line up more votes
for subsidies"
Subsidies Tied to CCC Proposal.
The administration subsidy pro-
gram is tied into the CCC extension
proposal in that the House IN earlier
CCC legislation tackled on an amend
ment abolishing food subsidies after
January l. Foes of subsidies agreed
to their extension also with the un-
derstanding no new program would
be instituted.
The House vote for the shorter
CCC extension was 103 to 27 after
the Senate had unanimously adopt
ed the 60-day continuance resolu-
ton.
Senators Bankhead. Democrat, of
Alabama and Reed. Republican, of
Kansas put the Senate on notice,
meanwhile, that the farm bloc cam
paign to outlaw subsidy payments
to bolster food price controls will be
resumed when Congress reconvenes
after the holiday recess.

ing that no improvement is fore seen.
 New registrations were down only six per cent but Q great many of these new entrants into the labor market were available only for part-tirne york;" MT. Nolan said. Many persons were placed on 8 Sunday shift, but this did not ma terially alleviate the shortage of regular full-time workers. About 2,0OO requests for workers remain on file at the office at the present time.
 Placements last month totaled 806 as compared to 870 in November. The drop was credited to the lack of applicants.
 Ten per cent of these placed were persons with physical handicaps.
 The industrial field led in the number of new workers, 548. Com mercial and professional jobs were secured for 208 applicants, while construction and farm work was given to 24. Service placements totaled %. About 60 per cent of the new industrial workers were women.
 One large concern is recruiting women to be trained at the Water bury Defense Training Center, with pay provisions made to correspond with those of trainees at the plant. Requests for women workers are coming through in large numbers, and 1t is believed the reservoir of women workers available now will be depleted soon.
 The demand at the end of the month for male workers to do heavy mill work requiring certain physical characteristics was partic- ularly pressing, MT. Nolan said. Likewise, there is an urgent need for stenographers, typists, file clerks, and various other types of office workers in war industry, he stated.
 Labor from outside the Water bury area is hard to get, the man. ager said, because of lack of avail able housing here. It is believed however, that eventually method of bringing in more out-of-state workers will be devised.
 Office hours at the employment service headquarters have been ex- tended. The office will remain open Monday through Saturday from 8:SO a. m. to D.. rn., and two nights each week, Tuesday and Thursday, to 8 p. m.

WORLD TRAvELER FORUM SPEAKER
Motion Pictures Shown at Second Congregational
 Church By Ava Hamilton

Motion pictures in natural color featured a lecture by Ava Halnil- ton, explorer and world traveller, last night entitled Dawn in Africa" in which many sections now prominent in the war news were shown and described. She spoke at the regular session of the Second ,Congrega- tional Church forum.
 The speaker had pictures of Lake Chad, now being mentioned prom inently in war communicates, Fort Lamy, Frances foreign legion out post, and forest regions along the supply route to the north. A good part of the lecture, however, was an endeavor to develop the back ground of the African continent, its music and art, its customs and peculiarities.
 Contrary to popular belief, most of the native tribes of Africa are friendly, Miss Hamilton asserted and many have elaborate social and moral codes. In some northern sec- tions, she admitted, tribesmen are of 8 somewhat sullen disposition.
 Excellent pictures of African wild life were included in the repertoire Lions, antelopes, zebras, gazelles, and the dangerous elephants were included, and the speaker noted that often while attempting to film animals, she would be pursued and forced to take shelter in trees, or defend herself with her guns.
 Most noteworthy achievement from the standpoint of photography, was the scene of a living volcano filmed by Miss Hamilton from the summit of the crater. The flaming lava sething in the depths of the volcano, indicated the peroid con- fronting the explorer as she took the pictures.

"Even before Pearl Harbor." MT. GoSs said, "the associations re- sources had been offered to the fed eral government. Its field men were laying out plans for war service in local communities. When the war came the association was already in action. It is fully converted to the war effort.
 'SThis call-out action will continue for the duration and the association will be ready to tackle the prob lems of adjustment that will in- evitably follow the war" said MT. Goss. :.
 The association is the national clearing house on recreation prob lems. For 36 years, according. to MT. Goss. tthis private organiza- ton has been dedicated to helping boys and girls and men and women find the best and most satisfying recreation activities. One of its primary functions is helping com munitles improve their public rec reation programs for all the people and helping to mobilize these rec
 
 reatIon programs behind the war ef- fort. Mir. Ooss added that the as. sociatlon has helped the War and Navy Departments in their search for trained recreation personnel: It has provided recreation material for thousands of professional and volunteer workers conducting ac. tlyities for service men. Through field staff and specialists. the association gave direct personal service in about 100 cities and towns last year. By correspondence, the association served about 10000 dif' ferent communities throughout the country.
