Legislative Holiday
Until Labor Day
Planned by Congress
BY the Associated Press.

Congressional leaders have de-
cided not to resume major legis-
lative work until after Labor
Day. according to House Ma
jority Whip RamSpeck.
The leaders will come back Au-
gust l, as scheduled" he told q re-
porter yesterday before leaving for
his Atlanta home. But at that
time. unless some emergency has
developed. We will provide for an
other adjournment until after Labor
Day or for three-day recesses."
Declaring there is no maj jor leg
islation pending which requires i'm
mediate action, Mr.. Ramspeck add
ed that House Majority Leader Nc
Cormack had obtained Republican
agreement to such q program.
Under the three day recess plan
Congress would meet briefly twice
q week, but members would agree
not to take up any controversial
measures.
Mr.. Ramspeck said this plan prob
ably would be followed because 1t
would allow all committees to pro-
coed with hearings and investiea-
tions, which most of them are not
allowed to do during an, adjourn
ment without special permission,
He said that although the program
sounded like an extended vacation
for members of Congress it did not
actually mean that.
Hundreds Of the members have
not been home for many months to
meet with the people and learn
their desires regarding legislation" +"
he asserted Also 4 substantial
percentage Of the members will re-
sumo committee work. either here
or at scheduled hearings around the
country. After brief rest, most Of
us will have . hard summer of trav-
cling and working"
Major overall item on the agenda
when the members do resume ses-
sions will be postwar planning in
various fields. Other matters IN
clude proposals for Federal crop in
surance, reorganization of the
Farm Security Administration and
establishment OF 4 treaty ratifica-
ton law whereby the House would
share this responsibility with the
Senate.

Roosevelt Letter Calls
Community War Fund
Drive Victory Step

President Roosevelt forecasts that
the Community War Fund drive of
October will be 'one more essential
step on the road to victory and
peace" In q letter to Winthrop w.
Aldrich, New York banker and
president Of the National War Fund,
made public today.
Herbert L. Willett, jr., director of

planned that the Presidents letter
indorsing the drive had been made
well In advance this year in order
that Government men and women
all over the country could accept
positions In the drive which Is now
being organized. Presidential ap-
proval is necessary for Federal en-
ployes to serve on committees or in
other capacities. A high Govern
ment ofncial will soon be named
head Of the Washington Govern
ment Workers Committee by the
President, Mr.. Willett said.
The Presidents Ieter read:
| THE common federation OF COM
munity war appeals, associated with
the National War Fund in q united
October campaign for bur own and
for our Allies, is one more essential
step on the road to victory and
peace. Why everybody wants to
give in this united effort of all our
people and why nearly everybody
does is easy to see.
For in this typically American
way We shall see to the welfare of
our own forces, we shall extend a
neighborly and sympathetic hand to
our fighting Allies and we shall con-
tinue to maintain here at home our
Ilong-established community agencies
for health, welfare and recreation.
What we have done for all three
causes We have done gladly and
generously Not now, not in this
hour, can we let them down"

ferred several times to what he
called the royal family" in the
