Republican Leader James R. Mann, just back from Panama, dropped in today to greet the speaker and discuss prospects for the three months’ ses- sion. “We didn’'t make any plans for the session,” said Mr. Mann later, with mild cynicism. ‘“The truth is, the democrats, now they have come into power, are afraid to do anything im- portant at this session, for fear it will put them on record for the future.” Speaker Clark agreed that no plans for the future had been considered, but he took a different view of the reasons why no general legislation of importance is likely to be enacted at the winter session.
