CROSS-WORD PUZZLE No. 10
Filibuster Blocks Consideration
of Important Legislation
in Upper House.
W ashington. D. C.—The (Sth con
grass la leisurely writing the final
chapter of its history.
The house, having disposed of all
of the regular supply bills, is moving
along slowly In the consideration of
the general legislation on its calendar.
The senate, in less fortunate post
tion with respect to appropriation
measures, feels a keener urge for
haste, but is blocked by a filibuster
directed at several measures.
W ith the inauguration of regular
night sessions Monday, leaders in the
senate are hopeful of speeding up
business, but are faced with real con
troversies over the emergency officer
retirement bill, the Cape Cod measure
and the conference report on Muscle
Bboals.
House leaders have made no plans
for night sessions.
Satisfied that all of the appropria­
tion bills. Including a huge deficiency
measure still to be passed, will be in
the hands of the president well in ad
vance of adjournment on March 4,
leaders of both the house and senate
are concerned as to the fate of sev
eral other measures, notably the
postal pay and rate increase bill and
farm relief legislation.
Farm legislation still Is In the
formulatlve stage, and until the bouse
and senate agriculture committees
can come to agreement on a bill to
embody the recommendations of the
president’s agricultural conference
leaders can m ik e no specific plans as
to time for consideration.
