It could be. At any rate, It will be

WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 39 IIP)
Ignoring senate objection, the
house passed today a resolution ad
journing Itself Informally from to
morrow until September 31.
The resolution does not require
senate approval..
It provides that the bouse shall
meet every Toesday and Friday
during the recess period to held
token sessions.
The constitution won t let either
chamber quit tor more than three
week-days at a time without con
sent of the other. The senate ha
refused to give consent to house
plans for an outright adjournment.
Earlier Speaker Rayburn had an
nounced the house would adjourn
despite the senate's objection.
He said the senate's action wa
"the first time in history" a far
a be could recall that one cham
ber refused to agree ta procedure
approved by the other in respect
ta meeting. The action, be added,
"certainly doea not" promote
canity between the two branches
Since the house technically will
be In session, that procedure won't
conflict with a constitutional ban
against either chamber quitting for
more than three week-days without
the consent of the other.
By a thumping vote the house
yesterday passed a resolution seek
ing senate consent for an outright
house adjournment without the
necessity of keeping a few member
here to hold Informal meetings.
Despite the long-standing tradi
tion which say neither chamber
should Interfere with the meet
ing plana at tbe other, the senate
voted sown the boost proposal ay
a eoaas-of S3 W.T.
The senate action stunned the
house, which hsd expected routine
senate approval.
Forest Fires

The bsttle against fires ravag

favorable turn today.
The situation Is still serious, how
ever. In many areas. Flames nan
wiped out valuable timber In west
ern United States, New England
and Canada.
One person was killed and four
Injured yesterday in Calilornlaa
forest fires. Harry T. Meyer, 32-ycar-old
lumber crewman, waa kill
ed by a falling tree In Stanislaus
national forest.
Fire fighters in Idaho's national
forest still were running Into trou
ble. One of four major biases In
Payette national forest broke loose
yesterday and ran over an estl'
mated 6000 acres.
The outlook In the Black Bills
of South Dakota was promising.
Rangers looked for favorable winds
to blow the flames back over burn'
ed out areas.
About a dozen forest fires still
were burning In New England but
none was reported as serious.
In Canada, the Ontario depart'
ment of lands and forests reported
all that province's 151 fires were
under control.
City May Ban
Electric And
Barbed Fences
A resort of an electric fence se!
up to discharge 110 volts has
prompted the city to draw up an
ordinance making illegal the Instal
lation of any electric fences within
the city limits.
The ordinance also abolish
barb-wire fences. The statute wa
Introduced at the last council meet
ing and Is expected to become city
law In final passage at the next
session of the city dads, Tuesday,
September 8.
The report of tie 110volt fence
reached the police department re
cently from the California Oregon
Power company. Although Investi
gation has proved the fence la set
up for 110 volts, the actual hook-up
source has not been located.
The ordinance waa drawn to In
sure protection of small children.
Violation of the ordinance will draw
a maximum sentence of 50 days In
Jail. $100 fine or both.
Although a state code prohibit
electric fences within city limits,
councllmen felt that establishment
of a city ordinance would Insure
speedier prosecuting action In the
event of violation.
Defense Slash
Puts Squeeze
On Congressmen
WASHINGTON. Aug. 36 tV-President Truman today describee)
military payroll cuts a part of an economy move under government re
organization. He told a news conference that Secretary of Defense Johnson
ordered dismissal of H5.M0 civilian employes nnder direct instrue- -Uons
from him.
Truman added that he would not be deterred by protests from soma
members of congress from going through with the curtailment.
With a smile, he ssld that In congress It's a solid rul that economy
should be In the other f ellow' dis- a
trlct, not In mine.
When he was a senator, he said,
he was alway careful to see that
Missouri didn't get gypped on gov
ernment projects.
Tbe eat has put some congress
members In a squeeze. They here
called for economy, bat their
constituents are complaining bit
terly over the cat.
A typical example wa offered by
a western house member. He said
he has been deluged up to now
with letters urging him to vote for
cut In appropriation. Now. he
said, the same people are complain
ing bitterly sgalnst military cut
barks in his district.
The predicament resulted frees
Secretary af Defense Johnson's
announcement yesterday that the
armed forces plan to fire KSM
of their MS.aoa civilian employes,
while returning 12,f3 reserve of
ficers from sctivs ts Inactive
status.
That program aims at a 1 200.000. -000
saving during the fiscal year
which started July 1, and savings of
S00X).000 a year thereafter. It
would help bring next year's mili
tary budget down to tl3.4O0.000.000.
The 1940 budget totals $14,900,000,
000. Johnson said the cuts are those
proposed by the three armed serv
ices themselves. They will result In
the closing of about 50 defense In
stallations and the slimming down
of a number of others.
