The Republican steering committee will take up the order of consideration of pending subjects late this week. There were the usual crowded galleries, Mrs, Coolidge and a party of guests occupied the president's row in the senate galleries. The senate’s opening session con- sumed just twenty minutes. Formally announcing the death of Senator Lodge, the Republican leader, Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, his colleague, said Mr. Lodge “had been for years the forem figure in the dominant political party of Massachusetts and in recent years one of, if not indeed, the foremost figure in the congress of the United States.” Eighty-two of the ninety-five sena- tors answered the opening roll call In the house the call showed 368 members out of 435 present. The house was in session 65 minutes, adjourning after adoption of resol tions of regret over the death d ing the recess of three representa- tives and three senators. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1—After a six months rest the sixty-eighth con- gress reassembled today to renew in its last and short session the tur- moil and strife which characterized its first and prolonged gathering. Only brief meetings by each house were arranged for today with the program fixed in this fashion: Prayer. Roll Calls to develop quorums, Swearing in of new members. Appointment of committee to no- tity the president that congress is ready to receive communications from him. Presentation and adoption of reso- lutions on the deaths of members in the recess. Adjournment out of respect to dead members. There will be a further marking of time tomorrow pending receipt of President Coolidge’s annual mes- sage, which will be transmitted by messenger for reading in each house separately. Thursday the real work, of the session will begin, but how much can or will be accom- plished before automatic adpourn- ment March 4 remains a big ques- tion in the minds of all leaders. Chief attention will be given to the annual appropriation bills, but whether all of these can be disposed of is now by no means certain. Much general legiglation still is pending and there is going to be strong pres- sure for consideration of a number of measures on which there fs a wide difference of opinion among the membership. But these natural differences of opinion are not the only hazards that have a place in the legislative field. The recent national politi- cal campaign has created new sores which apparently have been aggra- vated the action of the senate Republicans in reading out of their councils Senator LaFollette of Wis- consin and his chief senate lieuten- ants, Senators Ladd, Brookhart and Frazier. ‘While leaders of the house Repub- licans have no intention now of taking like action with respect to the LaFollette followers at their end of the capital, admittedly the action of the senate Republicans has had {ts effect there and has served to widen the breach between the regular and insurgent Republicans no often apparent at the last ses- sion. While some immediate aftermaths such as protests from several lead ing senators are expected to follow the action of the Republican con- ference the full effect probably will be slow in developing and will be felt the more strongly as the life of the session progresses, One result generally lokoed for 4s the slowing up of action on legis- lation in general with a consequence increasing of the probabilities of an extra session of the new congress elected last month. After the usual preliminaries of ® now session have been disposed of in the first half of this week, the House will get to work on the ap- Propriations bills, taking up first that for the Interlor department. Meantime, the Republican steering committee of the Senate will meet to map out a program for imme- diate Senate action which may or may not find approval with the Democrats and insurgents, which will continue to hold the whip hand. The Senate has a large amount of legislation pending on its calen- dar, including the deficiency bill, the Muscle Shoals project and railroad and farm legislation. Generally speaking, farm ald is regarded as the most important of all the sub- jects, but since the president has appointed a commission which is engaging a study of this whole field it 1s likely that a decision as to the form this legislation Js to take will await the report of that commission. With Henry Ford out ‘of the field and several new bids in hand, the Muscle Shoals question very likely will be sent back to the Senate ag- ricultural committee for further con. sideration. There is going to be re. newed pressure to dispose of this matter, but many leaders believe it crat, having been elected on Novem- ber 4 to fill out the unexpired term of the late Senator Nicholson. Sen- ator Adams was appointed to the va- cancy and served through the last session. New Senate chairmen will include Willlam E. Borah at the head. of the Foreign Relations committee, in place of the late Senator Lodge, and Senator Cummins of Iowa as héad of the Judiciary committee, of which the late Senetor Brandegee of Con- necticut was the chairman. The Republican’ organization in the Senate has a new héad in Sen- ator Curtis of Kansas, former party :: who» succeeds | Senator Senator Watson of Indiana is the assistant leader, in place of Senator Curtis. There also will be ® new party “whip.” His selection has been left to-Senator Curtis, President Coolidge intends to de- lay transmission to congress of the budget for the next fiscal year and its accompanying: message until af- ter presentation of his annual mes- sage, which is to be sent to the aitol and read in both Houses on Wednesday. The budget message Probably will be submitted ‘Thurs- day. Mp Coolidge regards the bud- get message as an elaboration on his annual message and as such de- sires {t to follow the document pre- TT ae senting his general recommenda- tions to Congress.
