However, it will mainly mark | time until next Monday when ab- | gent members return to clean up; the two jobs still 10 be done. | The dash toward a planned final adjournment stalled to a stop as the sun peeked over the horizon Sunday morning. All except two passed, but on these the Senate and House deadlocked. Adjournment is off at least until next week, he week between the pa conventions at which the icans and Democrats choose their Presidential candidates for | the November election. Until then, nothing of importance will be transacted. House Demo- erats and Republicans agreed on this in the small hours Sunday morning. Plans to brirng tthis year’s} Congress to a close Saturday night collapsed chiefly because the House had written into a 10 billion dollar suppemental appropriation bill a curb on the use of funds for an expansion of the atomic ‘weapons program. The measure carries two billion dollars for the atomic program, $6,031,947,750 for foreign military and economic aid, and $2,140,000, 000 for military bases and other projects around the world. In a last ditch appeal against the House rider, President Truman wrote Vice President Barkley and Speaker Rayburn that it would cripple atomic production and im- peril national security. The Senate refused o accept the rider. The House finally agreed to modify it somewhat but balked at throwing it overboard. The other dispute that upset ad- | journment plans flared over a com- Promise $584,061,600 bill to finance rivers and harbors and flood con- trol projects. Dropped out of the measure was four million dollars for the Hart- well Dam in South Carolina and Georgia. Sen. Maybank (D.-S. C.) roared that the bill was not going to pass without this item in it, and indicated he might launch a fil- ibuster, Sen. Olin Johnston (D.-S.W. $.) said he too was ready to talk all day Sunday. The upshot was that the Senate | sent the bill back to conference again in hopes of working out a settlement. With this and he atomic spend- | ing controversy on his hands, Dem- ecratic Leader McFarland of Ariz- ona despaired at last and moved the Senate recess until today. It quit at 4:10 a. m. and he House shortly followed suit. The ranks of Congres members present already had been thinned | by Republicans leaving for Chicago | and, to a lesser extent by Demo-| crats heading for home in the be-| lef the session was all but over. | Giant strides toward adjourn- | ment, including the passage of a| $46,600,000,000 defense appropria- - | HAL BOYLE SAYS By HAL BOYLE CHICAGO (®—Dear Trellis Mae, Well, honey, the Republican con- vertion menu right now is political smorgasboard. It is a banquet of bitterness, cyn- |icism, faith, platitudes, principles, hope, ambition, and yearning. It lis a reach for politicians to get the | support of the right people, and a reach for the right people to settle jon the right politician — one who can lead them to rainbow victory | after 20 years in the political dark. I guess what everybody would }like most here is a good depend- able Ouija board. But in politics there doesn’t seem to be any re- | liable compass, and if there is an |Ouija board in town the Demo- crats are saving it for their con- | vention. I can’t decide yet whether this jis actually a political convention, |a college homecoming, or a civil | war. It is kind of all three rolled jinto one — with the candidates making faces at each other, and teen - age supporters running back and forth with rival banners and yelling “yea team!” | The two biggest questions here ore: | (1) “Who ya for?" (2). “Who d’ya think’ll really get | the Nomination? The convention headquarters jin the Conrad Hilton Hotel, a kind ‘of civilian Pentagon. It is so huge there is a report one bachelor del- egate got into an elevator in the | lobby with a young lady — and by ‘the time they reached his floor he | felt he had known her so long he up and proposed marriage. The hotel is crowded from dawn until midnight with the two types lof people you find at every con- | vention — those who have some- | thing to do, and those who just come to view. Iiundreds simply mill around like cattle — until their feet get | sore and their eyes galze like Zom- bies—picking up campaign litera- ture, hoping for a glimpse of a fa- jvored candidate . . .walking . . . walking . . . endlessly walking.

Behind the razzle - dazzle the real work is going on. It is the candidates I feel sorry for — Taft, Eisenhower, Warren, Stassen, MacArthur. To be Presi- dent of the United States is the toughest job in the world. But to try to be President must be even worse. To many people here the conven- tion is a kind of Roman carnival, a partisan rallying to pick their new champion amid a great deal of fun. But only one man can emerge winner. And to the other candidates this time and this place will be only a lifetime heartbreak.
