Congress struggled today like a
harrassed schoolboy hurrying
through examinations la an effort
to est horns for Christmas.
- The drought relief problem was
answered with ton dispute over
Its accuracy, both houses agree
ing to a measure carrying f 4 S,
000.009. The bill Is ready to be
sent to the White House.
Wrinkled brows and prolonged
study orer the 1 110.000,000 em
ployment - relief measure did no
good however. The senate thought
It had solred -the question and
sent ft to the house but that body
did not ilk the solution and sent
It back.
Three senate amendments must
be eliminated, changed or agreed
upon before congress Is ready to
quit for the holidays, leaders
were hopeful tomorrow would
bring a compromise and adjourn-
ment until after New Tears.
