(By L. C. MARTIN) (United Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, March 4.—The | Sixty-fifth congress dies today. I; es to history a record of three | sessions, two of them remarkable for | their legislative accomplishments, | and the third for its lack of accom plishment.

This breaks all American records. and! probably all world records for a sin- gle congress. The congress was divided into three sessions, and these marked three dis- tinct phases of activity. The first was the war making ses-| sion. It began April 2, 1917, and ended 188 days later, October 6. The second was the war winning | session. It was the longest single session the American congress ever held, lasting 354 days, from Dec. 3.] 1917, to Nov. 21, 1918.

Carrying | out its pledge of all the country’s} resources, congress appropriated whatever was asked. The second or war winning ses- sion was occupied chiefly with in- creasing the effectiveness of the war machine, and providing the punch to beat the kaiser. Its appropriations were even more sweeping than in the first session. It added Austria officially to the list of our enemies by a declaration of war on Dec. 7, 1917. It then passed in rapid succession such measures as the $50,000,000 housing bill, followed by a $60,000,- 000 housing bill to provide quarters for munitions and shipyard workers; the bill protecting civil rights of sol- diers and sailors; created the war finance, corporation to help business help win the war; the railroad con- trol act, taking over the railroads; the daylight saving law; the Overman act, giving the president sweeping power to speed up and co-ordinate departmental activities; the third and fourth liberty loan acts, the wire control act, under which the tele- graphs and telephones were taken, and the law extending the draft age down to 18 and up to 45. It appropriated the vast sum of $36,298,405,000. Practically all went to war at home, maintaining our army abroad, and helping the allies with loans. On Nov. 11, President Wilson an- nounced to the second session that its work had been done—the wa was won, and on Nov. 21 the war winning session ended. The readjustment session had been looked to by many in and out of congress to buckle down at once to solving reconstruction problems, some of which were thrust with startling suddenness before the coun- try because of the crushing and un- expectedly early defeat of the cen- tral powers. But congress apparently suffered | from the same reaction that affected business and, to a degree, labor. It relaxed after the war, and the re- adjustment session was a session of readjusting congress. Most cf jt { was spent in criticism, both by Dem- + oerats and Republicans, of war mis- takes and blunders, and in digcussion of President Wilson’s mission abroad and of his peace terms. i) ‘The session did manage a few ac- complishments, however, the. hot nearly $10,000,000, 000 to clean up war Angee d feed starving Euro- The whole purpose of this first! fliction was received fliction_was received by friends. friends. including | wenactment of the $6,000,-| | war. tax bill; appropriation | The matter was referred to the ___The matter was referred to the judi- WRIGLEYS ‘TheFlavor Lasts!
