Thursday. May 13, 1937 I in vfACHiMfmny BH| WHAT M " TAKING I PLACE IAjHI by UNITED SIMS SENATOR * * * » » » Five questions seem to predom inate in virutally all discussions with reference to Congressional activities. These are: What will be the final outcome of the Pres ident's court plan? What progress will be made on the President's proposal to reorganize the execu tive branch of the government? Will the President's relief recom mendation be followed, or will the $1,500,000,000 proposed be raised or lowered? Will new tax legis lation be brought forward now or at the next session? When will Congress adjourn? There seems to be no political wizards who can answer these questions correctly at this time. However, all are the subject of much comment and are of vital interest to all citizens. The gener al opinion seems to be somewhat as follows: THE COURT PLAN —Congres sional mail indicates that inter est in the court proposal is still J. M.

This may be due to the lull that often marks important legislation between the time of public hear ings and a report to Congress by the committee handling the 1 measure. At the moment there is no indication that the Presi dent will offer or accept any compromise. Nevertheless, the Chief Executive is a master at re acting to public sentiment and his aides are known to be busy in this field. REORGANIZATION Any wholesale reorganization of the executive - branch of the govern ment at this session seems unlike ly. It is reasonably certain that the Congress will not place entire ly under executive control those units now responsible to Congress. Some minor shifts in Federal agencies may be approved. RELIEF The general opinion seems to be that relief expendi tures will not go beyond the bil lion and a half recommended in the President's budget message. They may be lowered under the new urge for Federal economy and a balanced-budget now sweeping cities and cross-roads, factory and farm. TAXES Two schools of thought prevail with reference to Federal revenue. One is to at tempt tax revision at the current session so that business, industry and agriculture may know what to expect. The other school, of thought is to postpone tax legis lation, with the exception of re enactment of excise levies, until the next session convening in January. Final decision on tax es will be largely based on the economy moves and the total of the relief bill as it emerges from the House committee. ADJOURNMENT Here again opinion varies and adjournment dates in current discussions vary from July to October. It must be kept in mind, however, that a great number of the members of Congress maintain homes in Washington on a year-round ba sis. For these, the idea of a break in the session—that is ad journment from say July to Sep tember—is not so attractive. Oth ers favor such a break in what has been a difficult session, not from the standpoint of legislation enacted, but from the standpoint of uncertainty and efforts to THE ELKIN TRFBITNE. ELKIN.

At the present time, adjournment in September seems to be the pre vailing thought. But develop ments might change this situa tion at a moment's notice. Many of the questions can be properly answered after the re turn of the President. He may have in mind new recommenda tions to Congress that would change the present picture. Thus, the home-comihg of President Roosevelt from his much-needed vacation, around May 15, may have an important effect on the affairs of government. COOL SPRINGS Rev. I. W. Vestal filled his reg ular appintment here Sunday. A good crowd came to hear him and to attend the communion service. The annual donation to the Baptist hospital was given in honor of Mother's Day.
