Congress Ends Summer Recess

WASHINGTON, Aug 1 < Uit ) Congress formally ends its five-week summer recess today under pre-sun from both Republican anii Democratic leaders to get down to work immediately on reconversion Icgisla lation. Attention, was centered on the Senate Military Affairs Committe* which has been considering sino early this year two major bills on the principal question disposal of surplus war property and demobilization of an aimy of 20,000,000 wai workers. Senate Demo, ratic leader Alben W. Barkley, *>f Kentucky, joined with committee chairman Robert R Reynold-, I)., N. C., in hi urgent telegram calling committee members back to Washngton for a meeting Thursday morning. Senate Republican Leader Arthur H. Vandenberg, Mich., requested prompt committee action and called a session of the Republican steering committee to add force to his argument that re<’inversion bills must b*enacted quickly because current war news indicates an early German collapse. Despite the urgent pleas of leaders however, there was little pros pec* that there would he a quorum in either the senate or house at any time this week. It was expected that the senate would meet for only a brief, perfunctory session today, then recess until Thursday or Friday noon, and continue three-day recesses until the military affairs committee has submitted something for floor debate. A similar schedule is in prospect :n the house until the senate completes action.

Next stop for tfve Dewey train which runs as the second section of a regularly scheduled train will be in St. Louis for a t.vo-day conference with the 25 other Republican Governors on Domestic issues. His train is made up of nine cars. The governor is accompanied by a considerable party, including Mrs. Dewey, various aides, New York state and New York city policemen and upward of 40 newspapermen and photographers. His last of an all-day schedule of Puttsburgh conferences was with representatives of the United Mine Workers of America whose republiCations have indicated their support of his candidacy and whose president is John L. Lewis. Lewis was not among miners representatives who included John O'Leary, International first vice-presi-dent, K. P. Hannaway, International representative, four district presidents and other local officers. O'Leary was one of the mine workers Officials who followed Lewis in his 1940 bolt to Wendell L. Willkie, Republican presidential candidate. "We had avery pleasant conference with Gov. Dewey,” O'Leary told questioners. "The Governor made no promises and the mine workers made no comments. We tbld him that the policy of the United iMnc Workers would be decided at the September 11 nlternational convention in Cin-

cinnati.”

O'Leary said Lewis knew nothing about his meeting with Dewey in advance and had sent no message to the Republican candidate. Dewey is making nb speeches on this journey but has scheduled frequent press conferences whirh Enable him to develop his charges against the Roosevelt administration, notably that there is no adequate preparation for peace in Washington. He seeks to ctounter the Democratic campaign for re-election of th" “Commander-in-chief" by emphasizing that the President to Is- elected next November will be more a peace time than a war time exe-
