VACATION

SETS PROBLEM
FOR CONGRESS
Bv WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST
WASHINGTON, July 31 W
Congress- ends a five-weeks va
cation tomorrow, undecided
whether to start another long
holiday or buckle down now to
the Job of charting tne roaa
back to peacetime economy.
r The . prospects are there will
be no legislative business trans
acted for at least several weeks,
to give half a dozen committees
time to whip into snape recon
version legislation which Rained
a "must" rating by the successes
against Germany.
Original plans, for an outright
recess until after Labor Day
have been all but abandoned be
cause of clamor for congress, to
"do something" to cushion the
shock the war's end might have
on the nation s employment and
business. Instead, an informal
recess, with semi-weekly, sessions
attended .by a handful of mem
bers, -appears likely for a while.
Less than a quorum oi law
makers is expected to-be on hand
when the .current holiday for
mally ends at noon tomorrow,
Thev Drobablv will occupy them
selves for the next 'few weeks
filling the Congressional Record
with campaign oratory. Most
congressmen are up to their
necks, in. election, campaigns and
probably will remain at home to
get in a few last licks while
waiting for committees to act. -The
legislative dockets in both
the senate . and house are vir
tually dear of major legislation,
