WASHINGTON, All?. 10. (API
A weary congress turned dow.i the
home stretch today hoping to reacn
the adjournment goal next .Saturday,
but more optimistic over the pros
pect of ending the gruelling session
the following werk.
With the social security bill out
of the way, and the revised tax
program expected to reach the sen
ate Monday, leaders believed they
could at least sight the long-awaited
adjournment.
A few predicted the session would
end Saturday night, unless unfore
seen obstacles arose, but most of the
seasoned campaigners believed It
would be impossible to finish in a
single week. The more generally
nccepted date was "sometime belore
August 25."
There were a few unpopular voices
warning that congress could not
even finish in two weeks and would
still be grinding away on the gi
gantic program laid down by Presi
dent Roosevelt when Uibor day ar
rives. A belief that congress could fin
ish next week was expressed by
Senator McNary of Oregon. Repub
lican lender of the senate. Ho warn
ed that soon as the tr.x bill was
out of the wny leaders would have
difficulty holding ft quorum in I
Washington.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. (AP)
Quick signing and inauguration of
the administration's vast social se
curity program, enacted by congress
after months of maneuvering and
turbulent debate, today seemed cer
tain. Introduced seven months ago, th
h'Ki.slatlon received final congression
al blessing in the senate yesterday
without even a record vote. Shortly
thereafter President Roosevelt hailed
this as "good news."
The general expectation was that
he would shortly set up a board of
three to administer old age pensions.
States will handle the unemployment
insurance, although the treasury will
hold the funds. The children's bu
