President Wilson has no new legislation to rec- ommend and is said to be ready to have congress take a vacation. The house has about finished its part of the legislative program but prompt action by the senate is necessary to carry out the adjournment plans. Only two big measures, the soldiers and sailors insurance and the $7,- 000,000,000 war deficiency bill remain to be passed by the senate and it is expected that both will be expedited. The deficiency bill, now in the house, probably will pass today. Three big measures are in confer- ence today with prospects of any early agreement on all of them. They are the war tax, the war bond and the trading with the enemy bills. The senate and house conferees on the war tax bill carried their deliber- ations into the third day with pros- pects that an agreement on a meas- ure providing for levies of approxi- mately $2,500,000,000 will be reached before the end of the week. Rapid progress is being made, about two- thirds of the bill already having been disposed of. Minor matters again today occu- pied the attention of the conferees. Senate leaders began making plans today to pass the soldiers’ and sailors’ insurance bill before adjournment in accordance with President Wilson’s requ A wh committee will devote only one day—tomorrow—to hearings and it is exv\v((ed to pass the bill next Monday or Tuesday, under a consent agreement and without resort to clo- ture.
