Long Session.
Predicted for
NewCongress
By J. A. O'LEARY
star staff Writer

The new Congress. off to the
customary slow start, appears
to be heading for another long
session, extending beyond Las
Dor Day. The 1862 session ran
until october 10.
Tax reduction and reform,
which tops the Presidents leg
islative list, will be the chief
factor in determining the
length of the session.
Chairman Harry F. Byrd of
the Senate Finance Committee
said yesterday that II the tax
bill does not reach his commit
tee from the House until June,
as now seems likely, 1t may
not reach the Senate floor for
debate until Labor Day. This
time lag is based on the as
sumption that the Senate COM
mittee will not want to hold
hearings until the House has
acted. and that the hearings
will be followed by extended
closed-door deliberations of the
committee.
Because most Of the hearings
would be devoted to reform,
this time table would be speed
ed up If the House should post
pone the reforms and confine
itself to q tax cut. But there
are no indications now that
administration supporters will
abandon the reforms.
Excise Extension Feared
Senator Byrd pointed out
also that If the main tax bill
is not settled by the end of
June, Congress may have to
pass a temporary extension Of
the excise rates on alcoholic
beverages, cigarettes, passenger
cars, automobile accessories,
and telephone service.
These excise rates, as well as
the 50 per cent corporation in
come tax rate, are scheduled to
go down automatically on July
/. The fixing Of a new corpora
ton rate could be delayed be-
yond July ! without complicat-
ing company tax returns. But
If the excise levies went down
on July ! it would be difficult
for. Congress to raise them
again a few weeks or months
later.
Senator Byrd has taken a
strong stand against cutting
taxes without an offsetting re-
duction in government SPEND
ing, and he said yesterday that
mail he is getting from all
parts of the country Is more
than 80 per cent in accord with
his position.

GO. Ready for Bitter Fight
On Rooseve|t's Appointment

Republicans are honing their
political hatchets to do a chop
ping Job on Franklin D. Roose-
velt, jr., before the Senate acts
on his prospective nomination
as Undersecretary Of Com
merce.
Among other things, COP
members hope to maneuver the
4S-year -old son of the late
President before the Senate
Forign Relations Committee for
a look at his former activities
as legal adviser to the late
dictator Rafael Trujillo Of the
Dominican Republic.
If this fails, they will be
loaded for his appearance be-
fore the Senate Commerce
Committee. President Kennedy
has said he will nominate Mr.
Roosevelt to succeed Edward
Gudeman, returning to private
business.
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen of Illinois said his ex-
pcetation is that there will be
rather extensive hearings" in
to Mr.. Roosevelt's qualifica-
tions to fill the No. 2 spot In
the Commerce Department.
So far as the Republicans
have learned, Mr.. Roosevelt's
only connection with business
affairs has been through his
Roosevelt Automobile Co.
which distributes foreign cars.
Interest in His Future
Dirksen didn't say so, but II
is obvious the Republicans are
interested in Mr.. Roosevelt's
political future.
The supposition is WIDE
spread among them that even-
tually Secretary Of Commerce
Hodges will decide to retire. II
Mr.. Roosevelt then were his
deputy, they envision presiden-
tial action to- advance him to
cabinet rank.
The national attention he
might draw in such q role
they argue. might logically be
followed by an effort to inject
the Roosevelt name once agair
into New York politics.
The first Republican target
for such a move might be Sen
ator Keating, already busy
running for reelection in 1864
Beyond that might be a shot
at New York Gov. Nelson A
Rockefeller in 1866.
