HOUSE KEPTBLGY BY ONSTTENTS Members Receive Numerous “Axes to Grind” as Session Begins. ‘The great American constituent and his multitudinous requests are expected to keep House members busy during the apecial session, regardless of how rigidly the leaders are able to limit the legislative program. ‘The curb on legislation under the present plan will mean, at least for most of the session, organization of committees on which only 70 of the 435 Representatives are serving. Of | these, approximately 50 members of | the agricultural and ways and means bodies will complete their respective tasks of fr!parlng farm relief and tariff revision legislation early in the session. But they and the members free of com- mittee duties will have plenty to do. Almost every Representative daily has a score or more of matters pre- sented by mail or in person by consti- tuents or interests in his district which necessitate his seeking informatien from Governmental departments or endeav- oring to get some governmental action | favorable to his section. Often Is Kept on Jump. During a regular session, with morn- ing committee meetings, the Represent- ative often is hard pressed to perform these duties and turns them over to! his secretary. But the special session is regarded by many House members as an ideal’ opportunity to give per: sonal attention to their constituents request—and they can think of few | better wass to build up political fences Furthermore, the limited legislatio: g:ogram has not deterred a large num. r of House members from plans t accomplish enactment of their legisla- | tive ideas a neasures. * More than | 500 bills h: hundreds more are expected within a few days, although under the present program there is little, if any, hope | of action on them until the regular | session in December. For the new member, the committee: less extra session is viewed as an advantage. Veteran Representatives | declare that the members can learn more about the actual operation of the | House legislative machinery under | such circumstances than at a regular | session, with committee meetings and | efforts to obtain passage of their own legislation. The flood of bills began in the House as the special session’ opened yesterday | despite determination of Republican | leaders to confine the activities” of | committees to farm relief and tariff | Trevision. } In contrast, not a measure was pre- | sented in the Senate. But many are | expected there in the days ahead. The leading measure—the farm re lief bill—was given the number “o and goes to the committee on micul-‘ ture, | All other measures that could be handled yesterday were referred by the Speaker after a conference with Repub- lican leaders, to the committees which | at & regular session would receive them. But these committees are not to be or- ganized, under the plan of majority | leaders, so just what status these bills | have is a question. Failed of Passage Before. Although many of the measures were of national importance, affecting immi- gration, tariff, industrial, markget gov- erning, narcotic and other laws, ‘most were revised bills which had failed of passage before. Representative Sabath, Democrat, of Tllinois, introduced a resolution attack- ing the constitutionality of the prohibi- tion law and declaring it was “brutally and cruelly enforced.” He asked that orders be issued to enforcement officers to restrict activities to manufacturers and bootleggers and “to desist from ha- rassing and annoying citizens in their homes.” A Dbill to provide $5,000,000,000 for construction of a Nation-wide system of hard-surfaced post roads was introduced by Representative Holaday, Republican, been introduced and | Al Curtis Is Urged Te Wed to End Social Rank Row Hundreds of Lefierfi Sent Kansan on Subject, and He Chuckles. By the Associated Press. “P. 8—~Why don't you get married?" In the hundreds of letters which poured into the office of Vice President Curtis during his controversies with the State Department over the social status of his sister and designated hostess, Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, this naive sug- gestion was found more than once. The idea always struck the broadly developed sense of humor of the Vice President, but his only response was a chuckle and an occasional reflectlon, that marriage was one of those things that was easier said than done. Now that it is all over, and he has ‘won for his sister equal recognition with himself at official dinners, which was denied her by the'ruling of former Sec- retary Kellogg, the usually quiet Charles Curtis is realizing that his first declara- tion as Vice President created a real stir. Just looking over his increasing stack ! of mail was enough to convince him | that he had said and done something which a2t least was attracting atten- tion. Intent at righting what he con- sidered a slight to his sister, he had not counted on a public storm, and now he is amazed at the widespread interest. ‘The vast majority of his correspondents supported him. Friends of the veteran Kansan have insisted all along that he was actuated only by loyalty to famil; d to office in his public fight for so precedence or his sister, and he confirms that view in private conversation. But he is no:' wondering if the publicity will ever nd. Gov.
