The conferees also decided

the total $4.014,000,000.
Congress several weeks age

Even at the close the leaders
faced a crisis when standing

the adjournment resolution.
When Representative Andersen.
Republican of Minnesota, OBJ
jected on grounds of no quorum
(218 minimum) party whips
scurried in search of members
and Acting Speaker Mccormack
counted 232. Mr.. Andersen ex-
planned he wanted to adjourn
as much as anyone. He de-
clared it should be done in a
way that Congress instead of
the President could decide
whether it should return before
January.
The House devoted more than
an hour to praising Mr.. Me-
Cormack on the 21st anniver-
sary of his first election as
Majority Leader, a post he has
held longer than anyone else.
Hours later as the House was
making its final parliamentary
pitches, Representative Clancy,
Republican of Ohio, announced
that the date also was notable
because Cincinnati had clinched
its first National League pen
nant in 81 years.
"As a former Brooklyn Dodger
rooter," Representative Rooney,
Democrat of New York, said
sadly, this is utterly unim-
portant to me-"
At other times during the
day and night the House heard
speeches on such varied topics
as those Of:

lican of Indiana. who suggested
that former President Eisen-
hover be elected temporary
secretary general of the United
Nations, a suggestion also Of

The mystery of the Nubian

of the Nile in House debate on
the supplemental money bill.
That involved a 81 million item
to preserve ancient temples and
other Nile Valley monuments
threatened with inundation be-
cause Of construction Of the
ASwan Dam in Egypt. Mr.. Nc
Cormack preserved the item by
ruling out point of order
against the provision.

enlarged Rules Committee let
the supplemental bill go to a
House-Senate conference COM
mittee over the objection of
Representative Gross, Republi-
can Of Ohio.
Before that bill reached the
Senate following House adop-
ton the Senate at 9:20 am.

ment resolution which the
House eventually voted almost
seven hours later. But even that
turned out to be too fast for the
Senate.

wind when it received the sup
Elemental bill version sent over

spent another two hours voic-

House made such a quick exit
without waiting to see what the
Senate thought of the bill.

tees, the Senate decided to give

issuance of the first Masonic
charter to Negroes and, because
of its history, nature and de-
