D'CONNOR TRIBUTE Speakers at Banquet In- clude Congress Members and Two Commissioners. More tHan 400 members of the City Fire-righters’ .ssociation held an old- fashioned love feast at the Willard Ho- 1el last night, banqueting, singing folk songs, speaking and hearing speak- ers in praise of the local and nearby departments. They heard themselves called heroes, and were promised aid by Congress in getting final approval of pending legislation. Representatives Zihlman of Maryland. Moore of Vir- ginia and Clyde Kelly of Pennsyl- vania, District Commissioners Fen- ping and Bell, Mrs. John Allan Dougherty and business leaders, all claiming some relation to fire-fighting praanizations. prgsent or past, were among the speakers. Capt. FEdward O'Connor. a veteran ot the Washington department. with gervice to his credit, was {30 years' { presiding oficer of the meeting. He was boomed by Mr. Kelly for appoint- ment as chief engineer of the W as}_\v i Ington Fire Department when there is ¥ a vacancy. Capt.

Edward F.

Needs in Congress. Mr. Kelly pointed out the need of leaders in Congress who have the in- terasts of the District at heart and who are willing to devote time and ianergy to getting bills through com- imittees and the two houses. In pre- imer.ting the gold watch to Capt. O'Con- nor, Mr. Kelly declared that Capt. 10’Connor many times has appeared ‘hefore congressional committees in isupport of bills for the department, {And never had given wrong informa- on.

ICONGRESS PLANS T0 0UT WY 5 Much Work Remains to 'Be Done in Month; Much May Be Forgotten. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. Congress is directing its thoughts toward adjournment on May 15, a little more than a month away. It is true that much remains to be done, but it probably won't be. Senators and Representatives alike are anxious to get home. Some of them have rather ticklish primaries on their hands eariy in the Summer. A good many of the 30-0dd Senators who are up for reelection this year already are at home trying to mend the gaps, If any, in their . political fences. The primary tremely long system has made ex. sessions of Congress virtually impossible. In the old days the long session of Congress could continue right through the Summer, because elections were not held untii November and nominations were made at conventions which were more or less controlled. Nowadays one. third of the Senate and the entire membership of the House are con fronted by primaries held far in ad- vance of the regular election date. The important Illinois primaries are to be held next Tuesday. The cat-and. dog fight among the Republicans of Pennsylvania will be decided the mid- dle of May. Already the primary fight is started in Indiana and in other more or less pivotal or “eru cial” States, toward which the poli- | ticians will be looking for the straws | which are to tell whether or not the Coolidge popularity is waning. Short Sessions in “Of" Years. The crazy.quilt arrangement which | governs the sessions of (ongress at | the present time places the “long” session in the campaign year, while the ‘“‘short” ons end on March 4 of the “off"” when the Congress- men and Senators have little or noth- ing to do at home and generally hang Lots of room around Washington to watch the wheels go around. Efforts are being made to change this program under a proposed con- stitutiopal amendment which would have each Congress session begin in January and continue until the work of the session was accomplished. The new scheme also would move the in- auguration of the President to early In the January following his election. The new scheme would do away with what is known as the “lame duck” session of Congress, or the “short” session, which follows an eléction and at which defeated members still sit and function, although technically “repudiated” by their party or thelr constituencies. Just at the moment Congress seems to be proceeding. in a desultory sort of manner, but it can speed up whenever it wants to and can get the essentials of public business accomplished in a very short time. The Senate is conducting a couple of “investigations,” but it would seem that the prohibition inquiry, which is more or less non-political so far as party advantage is concerned, is ab- solutely blanketing the Tariff Com- mission inquiry, which was started with a purely political motive. The Tariff Commission investigation vir- tually will mark time until the “wet” and “dry” hurrah is out of the way. Meantime much of importance fnains on the congressional calendars There is, for instance, the debt s fndECZEMA!
