In war-wasted Europe, the de-

WASHINGTON, July 28-U.H-A
tired, b~edraggled 10th Congress
hopes 10 wind up its affairs Fri
day so its members can take Their
longest vacation in more than eight
years.
The House voted Saturday to ad-
journ sine die next Friday until
Jan. 3, 1947. when the new Con-
gresS-80th in the history of the
nation-takes over. The Senate is
expected 10 follow suit, but ad-
ministration leaders said the ad-
%journment resolution will not be
offered for a day or two.''
Long Sessions
The legislators, in almost con-
tnou5 session since Jan. 3, 1915,
have served under two presidents
lie late Franklin D. Roosevelt
and President Truman.
Converting in the midst of war,
they saw the Allies achieve vic
tory in both Europe and the Pacif-
ic, and have guided the nation
through the first perilous months
Of r~econversion.
Longest Respite
Adjournment this week would
give them their longest respite
since 1898, when the 18th Congress
adjourned on June Is. Since then,
the affairs Of war and peace have
kept them close to their desks.
Senase Has Work
Two moves by separate groups
Of Senator's to push through con-
%tToversial legislation may hold up
the Senate's adjournment plans.
One is the House-approved anti
poll tax bill; the other, the Bull
winkle bill exempting railroad
freight agreements from provisions
Of the anti trust laws.
House members, anxious to swing
INTO their election campaigns, al
ready were leaving Washington.
House leaders said frankly they
may have trouble mastering a
quorum this week to act on the
few pieces Of legislation still pend

COP Threat
Under House procedure, a single
objection could prevent action on
any bill if the necessary quorum

And a bloc of three rebellious Re-

another war. They keep insisting
that it is only a question of time
until we will have to fight Russia.
The daily newspapers and the maya
zines are all filled with articles
assuring us of the inevitability OF
war with Soviet Russia.
To keep constantly harping on
such a catastrophe is utter nonsense.
We may not like what the Rus
slams are doing. We may not want
TO concede them everything they
ask. We certainly do not want to
adopt their form of government:
But to keep insisting that we will
have to fight them only adds to
dangerous fear and suspicion and
merely helps to make more certain
that which might otherwise be
avoided.
General Eisenhower deplores this
constant war talk. He said so at a
Reserve Officers meeting in Chicago
on June 2.
He termed predictions of future
war "vicious" and added that
Veterans will work and sweat and
sacrifice to prevent the recurrence
of such a tragedy. We need
a deeper realization by all our
people that the continuing peace OF
the world depends in large measure
on the strength of the United
States and its ability to carry out
its international commitments.
It is of course only taking neces-
sary precautions for our military
men to plan for the nations de-

to keep shouting from the house
