Martin Expects to
End Session by
First Day of July
Rx Robert K. Walsh

House Republicans. with Tar
less pending business than the
Senate, arranged a talkfest for
late today on President Eisen-
hower's message and whatever
else they think should be taken
up in q drive to adjourn within
six months.
A target date Of July / for
adjournment was cited yesterday
by Speaker Martin at the OPEN
ing of the second session Of the
83d Congress. He conceded that
the session might "laSt q week
of two longer" into July. But
he said he foresaw nothing to
prevent the legislators from
going home much earlier than in
recent years.
The closed conference of
House Republican members at
3 pm. will give them ample
opportunity to voice views on
proposals that Gen. Eisenhower
offers at the earlier joint session.
Individual members also have q
chance to let off steam or offer
suggestions on any other topic
relating either to legislation or
leadership.
A still more important meet
ing has been arranged for to-
morrow morning when the
House Republican Policy Com
mittee holds its first huddle of
the new session. That group in
cludes the majority leaders and
chairmen and other high
ranking Republican members of
committees. It may chart the
course of several prospective
major measures during the next
month or two.
The Ways and Means Com
mittee. following q preliminary
session tomorrow. expects Mon
day to start detailed considera-
ton of a vast revision Of the
tax laws. The committee last
year held public hearings for
many weeks. Its staff has been
compiling material for a volu-
minouS bill which the full COM
mittee now will discuss and per-
haps report out within q month.
Similarly other committees,
including the Post ONCE and
Civil Service Committee which is
resuming examination of pro-
posed postal rate increases. will
soon start reporting bills to the
House.
Because return Of the law
makers yesterday was merely a
continuation of the first session
of the 83d Congress. bills dropped
into the hopper were fewer IN
number and novelty than were
those a year ago.

New Shift Of Votes
Increases Support
For Seaway Measure
Rx Allen prun

A shift Of votes among Western
Senators and q growing tide Of
favorable public opinion in the
New England States are expected
to push the st. lawrence Seaway
bill through the Senate this ses-
sion.
Senator's who have long Keen
active in the fight for joint
American participation with
Canada in the multi-million dol
lar power and navigation project
said today the bills main hurdle
this time will probably be in the
House. But they expressed con-
f1dence that House Speaker Mar
tin and House Majority Leader
Halleck will be able to guide it
to victory there.
The administration wants it, I"
one said. land I suppose Ealleck
and Martin are good enough
party members to push it along. +"
Priority in Senate.
The bill was given a top pri-
ority by the Senate Republican
Policy Committee yesterday. In
its last Senate test, in the S2d
Congress. the bill was sent back
to committee by a vote of 1910.
One Western opponent. Sena-
tor Johnson, Democrat; of Colo
rado. said today he will reverse
his previous opposition and vote
for the measure this time. An
other opponent. Senator Butler,
Republican, of Nebraska. said he
now has IAN open mind" on the
bill.
I'm not sure yet" he said,
''but may vote for it."
The defeat in 1852 Of another
opponent. former Senator Ecton,
Republican. Of Montana, will
also increase the bills strength.
Senator Ecton has been replaced
by Democrat Mike Mansfield,
who favors the project.
New England Strength.
In addition, the seaway may
pick up significant strength in
New England. Last session, it
was opposed by both Massachu-
setts Senators. Republicans Sal
tonstall and Lodge. Now Lodge
has been replaced by Democrat
John Kennedy, who said today
he is studying" the measure.
And Senator Saltonstall. too, said
he is studying" it. Neither
voiced outright opposition.
The Senate Policy Commit
tee will decide on Monday
whether the seaway bill or the
so-called Bricker amendment to
revise aty-making procedures
will come before the Senate first.
Canada is planning to begin
work on navigation features of
the project sometime this year.
ydro-electric features have
been set aside pending action by
Congress and q decision by a
Joint international commission

1852 declared also in favor Of
immediate home rule and ulti-
mate national representation for
the District.
The Chief Executive. in his
statement on city public works.
confined his recommendation to
a revision Of District revenue law.
without mentioning specifically
a provision in the forthcoming
public works program for In
crease in the Federal payment
towards District costs.
The Federal payment under
the works program would be in
creased from the present $1l
million to $40 million. And in
stead of paying 81 million for
water as it now does the Federal
Government would pay the full
cost of water it actually ccn-
sumes. This amount is expected
to be in the neighborhood of
STA million.
Would Raise Taxes
Revision Of District revenue
laws. stressed by the President.
would be accomplished by the
public works program through an
increase Of local taxes by about
$40 million.
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee. commenting
on the Presidents recommended
tions for the District. said:
ut should be highly pleasing
to residents of the District of
Columbia that the President of
the United States in his annual
message on the State Of the
Union should have included a
paragraph in which he wrapped
UP national suffrage. local self
government and revision of the
District revenue sources to pro-
vide the greatly needed public
works improvements"
Asked for his opinion of the
language used by the President
regarding the revenues for pub
lie works, Senator Case said:
II personally interpret it as
embracing support for the re-
vised program as submitted by
the District Board of Commits
sioners."
This Interpretation was con-
