OF FOR CAMPAIGNERS Session Will End Without Effective Ammunition for Either Party, Is Politi cal Writer's Guess By BYBON PRICE Chief of Bureau, the Associated . Press, Washington. Contrary to all expectations con gresi la preparing to fold up ltt tents without having contributed a single major luue to the presi dential campaign. In the whole reconstruct Inn pro gram there la not one effective fea ture which has drawn a tight party line. There la not one which can be pointed to, without arousing great argument, as a strictly Re publican or a strictly Democratic product. Compromise has been the watch word. Legislation has been put to gether by the patchwork process, and the resulting pattern accepted finally with comparative unanimity but with no great enthusiasm on both sides of the party aisle. This means, for one thing, that when the national platforms are drafted, they will disclose a vast overlapping In claims. Both sides will try to take credit for all that seems good, and blame the other fellow for all that seems bad. Party Lines Don't Hold. With a Republican president, a Democratic house, and a deadlocked senate, It had been predicted uni versally that each party would ad vance Its own program, and then let the people decide In the ensuing election. Something of the kind was at tempted. Republican leaders rejected all suggestions for a "coalition gov ernment." The Democrats named a steering committee to draft a defi nite plan of affirmative actlonv But party lines Just wouldn't hold. One reason was that on neither side did the leaders stand pat. An-J other waa that both sides began to be disturbed by the temper of the country. The atock market suffered new sinking spells, and whether that really meant anything or not, it had a powerful Influence in Washington. President 7f cover began demand ing immediate action, whether It was exactly h.la kind of action or not. Speaker Garner went ao far as to declare the worst possible taxes were worse than having no tax bill at all. Leadership, party lines and every thing went Into the wash, and amid tumult and confusion the govern ment raced and plunged toward Its goal of business - bolstering and budget-balancing. Tariff Doesn't Excite. Congress took Mr. Hoover's Re construction Finance corporation, but along with it Mr. Hoover took the Glass -Steagall baiu'ng bill, bearing the names of two Democrats. The house rewrote the Hoover tax bill, then rewrote its own and fl j nally turned the Job over to the senats where more rewriting has been done with a Republican secre tary of the treasury sitting at the elbow of the Republican and Demo cratic leadership. The .economy bill was worked out at discussions between the Demo cratic house and the White House, and now a bi-partisan conference U redrafting It. Democratic Leader Robinson asked the senate to help the unemployed, and within 24 hours a Robinson-Hoover compromise plan emerged. It la true the Democrats did pass, and the president vetoed, a tariff bill. But there was quarreling about It In both parties. Besides, with things as they are. It will not be easy to get the average voter excited this year about an abstract tariff argument. Two Issues Stand Out. It should not be supposed, how ever, that the campaign will go Issue-less, Just because congress has failed to make Its customary con tribution. There are two issues on which It appears the national conventions will have no difficulty In disagree ing. One is Herbert Hoover. The other is prohibition. BIRTHS Born, to Mr. and Mrs. R. M.
