The gavel falls tomorrow on a session which promises much in the way of class legislation and an incipient rebellion against White House domination. A hasty glance at measures already drafted shows growing con* cern as to the attitude and reasoning of the U. S. Supreme Court on the bestowal of emergency powers on the executive branch of the government-- a device popular at the last session w h e n " b u c k - p a s s i n g " r e a c h e d t h e heights. Scores of fretful newcomers are nervously knocking for formal admittance to the sacred portals of the Senate and House. The oath of office will be administered before packed galleries as those who pleaded at tho polls assume a new dignity soon dissipated by the merciless spotlight of publicity and criticism*. A study of the composition of the Congress reveals the predominance ot lawyers,- a few practical business men, with only a small handful versed in economics and political science. The Administration has garnered these experts for advisory jobs to bewilder t h e l e g i s l a t i v e b o d y w i t h t h e i r theories on new methods of relieving the depression. The neophytes at Capitol Hill are taking their cue* from the veteran legislators and watchingr for straws to see which way the wind blows. This spirit is manifested in the impending battle over majority leadership in the House. The solons with high-pitched ambition* want to play along with the winning candidate for the chieftains have it in their power to make or ruin a freshman in Congress. It is impressive to strut and pose on the floor before the admiring eyes of family and constituents, but an entirely different situation exists behind the scenes courting favor with the party bosses. The conteat will leave many personal feuds, which time will never heal. While the law-makers are complaining bitterly about the absence of patronage for deserving party workers in their districts, the Administration job-dispensers are pestered by 'lame ducks."

Only a few will be accommodated. It is not always good politics to provide this security for a defeated candidate unless he lost his hold with the voters in a sacrifice play on behalf af the party or the Administration. • " * Advocates of a bonus for veterans have mustered their best arguments to persuade Congress to take immediate action. Th® White House has gathered data to side-track what may be a stampede in the House. The bonus and inflation issues are boon companions in the talks here. All ef-' forts to balance the budget ^l be abandoned for years in event the bonus is pushed through Congress. The President must determine the proper strategy to meet this crisis. He must maneuver to delay a test vote for a few weeks or propose a compromn*^ plan which may be rushed before pro-; ponents of the more expensive plan ore effectively organized to make a counter-attack. In the offing is a debate featuring a national sales tax as a method of financing costly relief activities. A forerunner is found in a proposal ready for the House Ways and Means Committee calling for an assessment of 2% per cent manufacturer exercise tax which Representative Tread way, Republican of Mass., expects will raise nearly a half billion annually. The Democrats control committees to such an extent that nothing unwanta J by the Administration (except the bonus) will escape from the files to the floor for a vote. It is believed the government will attempt additional experimental measures for relief of unemployment before turning to heavy taxes. The vigorous attacks of |he President and his aides have the public utility groups gasping. For years this class of business dominated industry and finance, but the Senate investiga* tion under the late Senator Thomas Walsh and exposure by the Federal Trade Commission sounded the death knell of this influence. Lately the Administration has been driving for cheaper rates by entering the field al a direct competitor. The latest mov<j is to make available a quarter of a million dollars from the FRC for 17 projects designed.to furnish low-cost power and fuel. The utility companies are not licked by any means for they have enormous resources. However, they will probably meet the issue by lowering rates to the tfonsuming public and avoid drastic regulation and government competition.
