CONGRESS lISILV WORKING WAY 10 ENO OFSESSION With Work Virtually Done, Tremendous Show of Energy Is Made, By United Free* WASHINGTON, March 3.—With the clatter and bang which has become habitual with expiring congresses, the 67th Congress today was noisily working its way to the finish. Its work was virtually done. Nevertheless, a tremendous show of energy was being made in both Houses. For the first time in years, the ending of Congress found the decks clear of major legislation. Only two bills of importance were left today to be acted on —the conference reports on farm credits and the third deficiency bill. The log jam was cleared away when the Senate's filibuster against ship subsidy ended, and since then many bills havo slipped quietly down smooth waters, into a haven. Many members seemed a bit bored with the undramatio death of the present congress. Some already have gone home, not caring to wait f<fr the final curtain. Small Hills l"p Many small hills still bobbed about today on the surface of the legislative waters, while congressional lumberjacks did their best to pole them into positions where they would be built into the “raft of legislation" which will make up the record of this congress. "If we cannot have drama with our adjournment, let us have a few helpful little bills, that will be duly appreciated back home," remarked Pat Harrison, commenting on the last minute rush to get private and local measures through. “This is the time you want to watch for snakes,” warned a wise old Senate attache, as he fingered a thick pile of bills, all of which had passed in recent days without anybody except their authors knowing what was in them. “Snakes” is congressional idiom for doubtful legislation. Leaders Kill Time Party leaders arranging today for the final hours, found it would be necessary to kill some time. Two or three bills that have some chance of passage will be thrown into the breach to fill up the gaps and keep out some of the importunate ones whose bills have not found favor. After spending all of today and a good part of tonight in gathering up ! the legislative loose ends, both houses : will recess until 11 a. m. Sunday President Harding will go to the capiiol to sign any last minute legislation.

Representative Haines introduced the measure In the House, and Senator Lindley in the Senate. iarlribor r HAMS O fHAVE A FLAVOR YOU CAN’T FORGET INDIANA BROKERS
