PAGE SIX The World’s Best Climate of congress, but “his congress has not acted upon the president’s requests for legislation. 1 believe this session will adjourn without doing very much in that direction. ♦ Àn E l K By Harris Ellsworth, M. C. In 1940 the ancient paneled- glass ceiling (and roof) structure m the house chamber showed signs of being ready to collapse some of the artistic glass pan els fell. The house of represen tatives immediately moved its to the ways and sessions means committee room in the new house building. Workmen strengthened the weak ceiling by installing a massive labyrinth of steel beans and braces. So, since 1910, the house chamber has had something of the appearance of a machine shop. Complete plans and specifica tions were prepared several years ago, but the work of rebuilding the chamber has been postponed from year to year. At last the contract has been awarded. Tem porary work shops have been built on the capital grounds and the contractor will begin work inside .June 27. The house’s ses sions will then be held again in the ways and means sommittee room. This room is much smaller than the regular house room. Fa cilities there are not such as to be suitable for the meeting of 435 members. Sheer discomfort, plus Washington summer wea ther, may induce thoughts of an early adjournment. Congress cannot adjourn until all appropriation bills have been acted upon. Thus far, the house has passed upon all of them, but the senate has yet not completed one of the regular departmental bills. It seems to me we shall have to bp in session until mid July at toast in order to complete the annual appropriations. The so-called Truman social ism program which he calk'd us back to enact last summer has president told last year We could and should act on his demands in two weeks.
