BRIEF SESSIONS
IN ORDER TODAY
Nothing Will Done Un
til the Presfirient’s Message
Is Read to the, House and
the Senate.
(, 'C ‘a* (naortalwl Press)
Washington, Di e. I .—The sixty-eighth
Congress aft.emb ed' fMay.'for its farewell
session, with little prospect for the Ivans
*e:i«» °f any imiiortant business beyond
passage of the annual appropriation
bills.
1 The gavel; fell at noun, with Senator
Cummins, of I,'Kliasill. the president pro
tenquire presiding iu the Senate, and
1 Speaker'Gillctt in the House.
Only brief meetings by eaeh House
were arranged for today.
“ Adojurnment was to bo out of re
spect to dead members.
There will be a further marking of
time tomorrow, pending receipt of Pres
ident Coolidge's annual message which
1 will be transmitted by messenger for read
ing in each house-separate!. On Thurs
day the real work of the session will
begin, but how much can or will be nc-
I eoinplished before automatic adjournment
1 on March 4th remains a big question in
tlie minds of all leaders alike.
Although chief attention will be giv
en to appropriation bills it is by no
moans cerain that all of these ean be
; disposed of. Much general legislation
1 still is pending and there is going to be
strong pressure, for consideration of a
number r.f measures on which there is
a wide difference of opinion among the
membership.
But these natural differences of opin
ion are not only hazards that have a
place in the legislative field. The recent
national political campaign has created
new seres which apparently have been
aggravated by the action‘of Senate Re
publicans in reading out of the party
Senator Ln Follette. of Wisconsin, and
his chief senate iieuatenants.
Wit li lenders of the House Republi
cans have no intention now of taking
like action with respect to the La Fol- ’
iette followers at thqiiyjHid of the eapi-
Tol. 1 admittedly the oicnsn of Senate Re
publicans has hail its effect there and
has served to widen the breach between
regular and insurgent Republicans so of
ten apparent at the last session.
The Senate has a large amount of
legislation pending on its calendar in
cluding the deficiency bill. Muscle Shoals
project and railway and warm legisla
tion. Generally speaking, farm aid is
regarded as the most important of all
the subjects but since the President lias
appointed a commission which is engaged
in a study of this whole field, it is
likely that a decision as to the form this
legislation is to take will ftwait the
report of that commission.
The opening session today was brief.
After prayer by the chaplain and quorum
calls, the oath of office was administered
to the new members, committees were 1
named to inform the President that Con
gress was ready to receive communica
tions from him, and resolutions on the
deaths of members were adopted.
The adjournment was until noon to
morrow, but neither House will really
begin work before Wednesday when Pres
ident Coolidge's message bo rend to the
two houses separately.
The annual budget carrying the admin
istration's recommendations for appro
priations, is to be received by Congress
Thursday. Meanwhile. however, tile
House appropriations committee has a
draft of several of the departmental
supply bills and also has ready the In
terior Department bill.
There was the usual crowded galleries
at tile opening session. Mrs. Coolidge
and a party of guests occupied the Pres
ident's row in the Senate galleries. The
Senate's opening session consumed just 20
minutes.
Eighty-two of (h'‘ ninety-five senators
■ answered the opening roll call. In the
House tlie call showed 368 members
present out of 435. The House was in
i session 55 minutes, adjourning after
adopting resolutions of regret over the
deaths of three representatives and three
t senators.
