''Don't need 'em," answers Curly.
''The moon'n do"
We enter the cemetery gate on the

talk loud, just in murmured whispers.
Pete stops the team at one of them

our horses a few graves to the rear.
The white sepulchres look CHASTITY in

Curly and Turner unload the casket

Francher readjusts the wreath, SET

Rayburn Sees
End Of Session
BY Mid-Ju|y

Speaker Rayburn expressed
the hope today that Congress
would adjourn by the middle of
July. He would not attempt a
specific date.
From other sources it was
learned the Speaker and Senate
Democratic Leader Johnson of
Texas had a talk yesterday
about the legislative situation. 1t
was not known whether they
came to any understanding
about an adjournment goal.
The major bills still in the
Legislative mill are:
The multi billion dollar high
way program, on which con-
ferees will meet this week to
settle differences between the
House and Senate.
The Social Security liberaliza-
ton bill. passed by the House
and ready for Senate debate by
Wednesday.
The foreign aid authorization
bill, due to pass the House today,
and a foreign aid appropriation
bill awaiting action by both
Houses early in July.
Several more appropriation
bills, including the $50 billion
defense budget, which will soon
be ready for the Senate.
There are a variety of other
measures which may be consid-
cred, such as civil rights. aid to
leducation and immigration re-
forms, but these are so contro-
lversial they may get caught in
the adjournment log jam.
