CONGRESS IS RECONVENED I Law Makers Return To Washington From Holiday Vacations Washington, Jan. 4. (U.K) Congress returned to work today under pressure from leaders of both praties who will seek to push through the mass of important legislation waiting, particularly depression relief measures, and make their records for the national conventions in June. The house held the limelight at the outset, with the tariff at the forefront. Democrats planned to make public their tariff reform program today, which calls for no tampering with the rate schedules, and expect to shove it through the house by the end of the week. Close behind is the tax increase bill, which will begin to shape up soon. In the immediate background in both branches are measures sponsored by President Hoover to clear up the channels of business by pumping in a broad stream of new credit, which committees plan to have Feady in the next few days. Clustered thickly about in the wings, but soon to move to the center of the stage.’ are bills on unemployment relief, prohibition, and the navy. The joint house and senate democratic policy committee was called today to consider the tariff reform 1 program. This embodies a request for President Hoover to call an in-1 ternational tariff conference for reducing rates, and an amendment ' (o the Hawley-Smoot tariff act pro-; viding that the tariff commission recommend rate changes to con-! gress instead of to the President, i » o- - j * RADIO PROGRAM * Monday’s 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 1932, by Vl’. j WABC —NBC network. 2 p. m. 1 —U.

Quick Action Urged Washington, Jan. 4.—flJ.R)—President Hoover in a special message to congress today urged immediate action on his financial rehabilitation program.
