L PREDICT END NEAR WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-—Presi- lent Roosevelt and his legislative eaders tackled anew today the dif- felult task of finding a way out »f the cotton-wheat loan impasse which threatens to delay the ad- journment of Congress indefinitely. No decision was reached over the week-end. The Senate late last Saturday night postponed adjournment of the present session until this week after rescinding prior approval of the sine die adjournment resolu- ‘fon which was tangled up in an unprecedented wrangle over the third deficiency bill to which the Senate had wndded amendments calling for cotton-wheat loans. ‘The House finally voted return of the adjournment resolution to the Senate and that body acted immediately, rescinding the action which was taken without a record vote just a few minutes before the previously set hour for adjourn- ment at midnight, Congress had, however, passed & large list of legislative measures in preparation to adjourn before the crop loan stalemate came up. President Roosevelt had previous- ly characterized the session as his- torie, Legislators, with tired tempers ruffled, today said that if the present deadlock is not broken soon they may get up renewed drives for action that might prolong the session for hours.
