I Hope Of Earl; I Adjournal I Washingtdh, May 17 (Autocaster) I ..The likelihood of an early ad journment of Congress gets slimmer ! and slimmer as the members of both I Houses survey the job ahead of them. I s.i far very little of real importance I I has be^n accomplished. I The only issues before Congress I which have been finally settled are I the limited reorganization authority I granted to the President and the program of expansion for national I defense. Most of-the rest of what I Congress has done has been routine, I appropriations for the principal deI partments and such small matters as I Can be disposed of without controls ^B But there are at least seven major i I mallei's* involving Government pol^B : maining to be considered, and doubt is growing that Congress can possibly finish its job in time to ad^B journ by July first ?'-? w.?r nrtck there was talk IIMH _ about adjourning in June. Now I there is talk about remaining in session continuously until the issue'of: war or peace in Europe is decided. The probability is that the boys on Capitol Hill will quit and go home seme time around early August, leaving some important matters for the next session. H The talk of continuous session aiises from , the feeling that, -in a H major international crisis, Congress ought to be on the job, mainly io keep the President from taking any action which would tend to involve this country in a European dispute. The whole question of neutrality legislation js complicated by the division of authority in international relations between the Executive and the Legislative branches of the Government. The , President can negotiate treaties, but they are no good unless the Senate .approves them. In case of war, the President is in sole com niand of the Army .and Navy, but he cannot declare war; only Congress can do that. He must call on Congress to appropriate money to conduct a war, but he can end a Avar on his own initiative. To Amend Social Security Next on the list of things which. Congress hopes to get out of the way at this session'is the matter of amending the Social Security Act. It seems now quite certain that the payroll taxes, both those for old age benefits and for unemployment insurance, will be materially modified. There is doubt about any general I revision of the Social Security law H this year. There probably will be some revisions of the Wages and Hours B law; solely to clear up a few points which are not quite clear to anybody as the law now stands. There is less likelihood of any reH vision of the Labor Relations Act H than there seemed-, to be earlier in the session. The prospect is for a H heated and lengthy discussion of the H proposal to amend the law so as to deprive the Labor Board of some of its arbitrary oowers. Back of I proposal are not only important organizations of business men, hut the American Federation of L; bor, which is now in greater faVor w^th Congress than is the rival j B labor organization, the C.I.O. , I There is certain to be a violent |. difference of opinion, put it mild- j ty, over the proposed appropriations' tor the W.P.A. for next year. What will be done about farm legislation is anybody's guess< The only certainty is that there is bound be bitter opposition to the program proposed by the Senate ApB Piopriations Committee, which added nearly 400 million dollars to the amount approved by the House of Representatives. Appropriate# $1^16t458, 572 I The measure as it liffi*'stands for consideration by the Senate appro-j B Priates $1,216,458,572. Of the in-1 B crease approved by the committee, I " > ! (^23,000,000 is to be used for "par- j ity Payments" to farmers. These are outright gifts of public funds to timers who did not make as much m"ney this year as they made in the ye&rs 1909 to 1913 on the same farms. Another newitem in the bill is 13'000,000 for the Secretary of griculture to use in purchasing farm products, for free dis~ mution to persons on relief. Those aro in addition to som^*?)0,000,000 13och ! 5 Bl THE COUNTY P" | : ????h y Congress lent Slimme* BALSAM Rev. C. O.
