Not ‘NO SPECIAL ~ SESSION WILL BE SUMMONED, President Coolidge Says He Sees No Necessity For Taking Such Action EMERGENCY NOT GREAT Chief Among Measures Which Failed of Passage Is De- ficiency Measure ona Washingtow)s. 5—UP)—Ad- vised rs President Coplidge that he! did not contemplate calling a special session of the 70th congress, 469 sen- ators and representatives today began a nine months’ vacation following the death of the 69th, Sixty-two, nine senators and 63 representatives will not return next December, either having retired to private life or entered other federal fields of endeavor. Announcement that the president saw no necessity for a special sex- sion, to consider the major bills that failed of passage before the gavels fell yesterday, was made at the White House several hours after adjourn- ment. New Laws Beneficial While legislation adopted had been generally beneficial to the country, in the president’s opinion, he feels congress had ample opportunity to put through other bills for which there was urgent need, but that fail- ure of some of these does not deve! an emergency warranting a posi session. The McFadden branch banking bill, the radio control measure, and the | bill setting up the federal board of | mediation in railroad labor disputes, | were listed on the president’s behalf as being among the more notable achievements of the 69th congress. | Several hundred bills and resolu- | tions, many essential to various gov- | ernmental activities, died with con- clusion of the session. Chief among these was the $92,- 700,000 deficiency bill, which provided funds for the army and navy, pen- sions, government loans to veterans on bonus certificates, loans to farm- ers for seed’ purchases, and other activities. Other Ways May Be Found While President Coolidge recog nizes that inconveniences will be caused as a result of failure of this measure, he expects a way will be found for the government to carry on with some of the activities affected. As to bonus loans, the president feels failure of the $25,000,000 fund provided by the bill for this purpose will not work serious hardships. He believes a workable plan will develop by which banks can make loans as inally contemplated. °"Failure of the two public buildings bills would not entirely hold up build- ing operations, although the program will be retarded, it was said at the treasury. Under present appropria- tions, 35 buildings can be plced un- der contract during the next year. Location of these probably will be announced next week.

The solution, advanced by archaeol- | ogists here, is that the wily king Cheops, who had the mammoth great pyramid built to protect his re- mains, sought to safeguard the mum- my of his mother by building the “reat sarcophagus and placing the body of his mother elsewhere in a secret tomb.

Sorlie to explain why reports had not been made on the mill’s oper- ation and adopted a resolution de- claring the mill a complete failure in all major issues. The second resolution, introduced by Senator S. J. Atkins, Towner county, was amended to eliminate recommendations to the next legis- lature that the present state man- agership of the mill be discontinued and that it be operated by some busi- ness organization. The Atkins resolution, based on the recent report of the senate’s specjal committee to investigate the mill and elevator, declared that the mill was a complete failure in its major issues. In the resolution it was stated that direct losses had amounted to $1,- 250,000 since the mill had been estab- lished, that it is of no benefit to wheat producers, as a big share of the wheat is purchased out of North Dakota, that its operation has not decreased the market price of flour, that the overhead is too large, that it is unfavorably located at ‘Grand Forks.
