PRESIDENT LIKELY 0 CALL CONGRESS IN EARLY SESSION Reported Considering Move to Speed Flood Control and General Program. - SMOOT TO URGE STEP AT MEETING TOMORROW Coolidge Favors Disposing of Relief Measures to Clear Way for Other Legislation. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. There is a likelihood that President Coolidge will assembled Congress ear- lier than the regular time for its con- vening, probably late in October, not only for the purpose of assuring flood control, but to give Congress an op- | portunity to dispose of its business in ktime to adjourn early next Spring. The President, however, has not made up his mind definitely regarding | this, but intimates and party leaders th whom he has discussed the sub- ject recently are of the opinion that he is giving it serious thought. It is possible that the President may make a definite announcement tomorrow following a conference he will hav with Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the Senate finance committee, and one of the party leaders in the Senate. The Utah Senator known to be a xious for the early assembling of Congress, and at his conference with the President tomorrow it is expected | that he will lay before the latte nite reasons why it would be adv to issue an early summons. Attitude Has Changed. The Pr ing the of Congress scribed as considerably changed since vas s:ggested to him some weeks ago when -he Mississippi flood had reached such r-rious proportions. The Presi- dent, response to appeals for an tession at that time, thought eral Government could handle the situation with the assistance of the Red Cross and the authorities of the flood area and that he believed that the time that would be required to assemble Congress and for it to ac- complish any definite relief would take <0 long that it would be of little help in the emergency at that time. Tha President is still of the same opinion so far as flood control legi lation is concerned, but he has indica led to some of his recent callers that he is inclined to look with favor upon the proposal to get Congress off to an carly start so_bat the flood rol legislation could be disposed and the great mass of major ler lation at will confront the next Congress {could be out of the way early enough to permit the members of the House {and Senate to give their attention to the 1928 campaign. Wants Relief Out of Way. The President was represented {o- day as intimating .hat if he did call Congress together in advance of the | regular convening date his main reason for doing s. would be to make it possible for Congress to transact its business before the campaign of next Summer gets under way. On the other hand, the President is still of the dpinion that an early session of Congress would be of no real value so far as immediate flood relief is concerned. He has pointed | out that before Congress could handle the flood question intelligently, pre- liminary to enacting any constructive or comprehensive plan for relief and | prevention of any future floods, there | must be some definite plans worked | out for the guidance of Congress. The President’s advices are that the investigation being conducted by mem bers of the commerce committee of the House are being carried on, but he doubts if these investigators have rrived at any definite conclusions, but he feels very certain that it will be | some little time_before they will be able to completé their inv preliminary to laying before Congre plans of a’ comprehensive nature.

On the other hand, the President's | recent advices are to the effect that | the coming session of Congress prom- |ises to be an extremely busy one and | that there will be an unusual amount of legislative matters to be handled. | Most important in this connection will | be legislation providing for another | slash 'in the taxes, in which the ad- | ministration is especially interested nd which it is expeeted will call for considerable debate before its final enactmen | The pr of all t being awar t. ha been advised party le rs and of the earnest desire on the part of the members of the House and Senate to avoid a long-drawn-out session, which would interfere with early participation in the campaign. is believed by many to be on the verge of issuing a call for an early session.
