By taking a recess instead of an adjournment sine die, the Re publicans would make . It impossible for the . President to call Congress Hack in extraordinary session. Should Congress adjourn.: with.' a". part of the administration's legislative program', not actej upon some Republicans fear the President would issue a proc lamation: calling Congress- back, which I would be embarrassing ..politically to the majority party. f " Several - progressive , Republicans iu the Senate are likely to join wih the Democrats in opposing an early recess: These Republicans are: partic ularly interested in the bill for the regulation' of the meat packing In dustry, the Johnson-Nolan" minimum wagebill and the bill designed to check profiteering -in shoes. These measures have been held up in committee, or displaced on the calendar, and Republican progressives a re beginning, to wrangle with ; tha G. O. P. leadership for sidetracking such measures. Senator Kenyon, of Iowa,has been particularly -severe in his criticism of non-action on the packer bill.' V I ' . Democrats of both houses believe that Congress should do something to meet the high cost of living problem before it quits work for the summer. It is recalled that the President ia bi&message last fall suggested several remedies that - might be Invoked to check profiteering, . and bring .. down the cot of living. Tne President's re commendations, however,: have so far not been put into, law iby the.
