WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (P)
Preparing for the opening of Urn
fir.nl regular session of congren-l. in
the Hoover administration. Repub
lican leaders on Capitol Hill today
assigned tax reduction as the flivt
job for tho house but found the
unsettled tariff bill and Vare case
confusing tho senate program.
A movo was started to lef-r
again the consideration of tho
right of Senator-elect William S.
Vare, of Pennsylvania, to a senate
seat hut Senator Norris, Republi
can, Nebraska, asserted he would
demand a vote next week on his
resolution denying Vare admit
tance to the sennte.
Whether tho .Varo case la set
aRldo temporarily or Is decided
next week it comes up automat
ically upon Tuesday by previous
agreement the senate will plunge
once more Into the tariff Olsputo
hanging over from the special nes
slon shortly after tho opening for
malities have been concluded.
The NoVrls resolution would deny
Vare a seat because of expend!-
tures of more than $G00,000 by'hls
ticket In, tho 1920 primary cahw
palgn.
The house exjeets to get thn
$100,000,000 tax reduction resolu
tion to tho-sennto .beforo the jend',
of the first week nnd lenders of ' t
both parties In the senate . aro
prepared to lay aside their other
worries some time before Christ-;
mas to permit a vote thero. .
Thus tax reduction, the , Varo
caxe and the tariff appeared to
night as likely to command all at
tention before tho Christmas , ' re
cess. . .
Brief and perfunctory sessions
are In prospect on Monday. After
going through tho formalities of
npenlng-the senate will adjourn as
a mark of respect to the lato Sen
ator Warren, of "Wyoming. .
On Tuesday President -Hoover
wfll transmit to congress his first
message on "The Stale of the Un
ion," a 1 2,000-word 1 paper, . and
then both branches will get io
work.
Tho next day tho annual budget
message will bo transmitted from
the. White Honse; It will be read
by clerks and referred to tho housn
appropriations committee which
for some days has been at work
on the group of bills to provldo
funds for governmental depart
ments nnd agencies during tho
next fiscal year.
On the eve of the new session,
the faction-split Republican ma
jority in the senate showed Bigna
of getting together.
Senutor McNary of Oregon, who
was put forward as a spokesman
of the "Voting Guard" Republican
regulars, virtually was assured the
post as assistant party leady to
