They are also ex- | pected to legislate on wages dnd, hours, the farm problem govern-| |ment reorganization and region- \al planning. Moreover, the con- | troversial antilynching bill, pass- ‘ed by the House, is before the Senate where prolonged discus- jslon is certain. In addition to the, four general measures referred to, the President has asked for action on the anti-trust laws, now antiquated, and legislation to sup- |port privately financed housing construction, | Upon all of these subjects there} ‘is a great conflict of opinion. Coupled with a spirit of inde- pendence on the part of Congress, } apparently anxious to refute the! “rubber stamp” epithet, the indi-, | cations are that there will be a; lively session and that the diffi- culties will extend into and jthroughout the regular session | which begins on January 3rd. The four principal items which) jthe President urges are the wages and hours bill, which was stalled in the House Rules Committee’ | after passing the Senate last sum- |mer; the farm legislation, along the line of Secretary Wallace’s ever-normal granary; reorganiza- tion of governmenta] departments |which received slight attention | last session; and the legislation: Isetting up seven regional land-| use planning neies, patterned; |after the Tennessee Valley Au- hority, ere is plenty of fight red in each of these proposals. ion upon these four items be- i the Christmas holidays is ly improbable.

The newly enacted levy on undistributed corporate earn- ings is under strenuous attack, with several key-men advocating immediate modification. In all this welter of conflicting | opinions, chiefly characterized by opposition to suggest proposals re is the prospect of an almost fruitless session. Consider, for example, the farm bill. Congress- men from agricultural areas are almost a unit in demanding relief r the farmer but, apparently, hout the ability to agree upon the measures to be adopted.
