PRESIDENT TELLS
CONGRESS ABOUT
ENDING SESSION
--
Must Complete Action on|
Emergency Matters-May
Call Up Statehood
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12— (if) —
President Truman today gave Dem
ocratic leaders his clearance for
Congress to quit as soon as it has.,
completed action on emergency mat
ters now pending.
Speaker Rayburn of Texas an
nounced after a White House con
ference that Mr. Truman said that
he has “nothing further I intend
to submit Congress at this time.”
Rayburn and the Senate Demo
cratic leader, Lucas of Illinois,
agreed that Mr. Truman left the
decision up to Congress on whether i
to adjourn, recess or take a holiday!
under some other legislative agree
ment.
May Quit Saturday
Neither Rayburn nor Lucas would
say Whether Congress will be able to
quit by Saturday night, as some
have hoped.
Rayburn said the tax increase bill,
one of the matters that must be
gotten out of the way. will go to
a Senate-House conference Thurs
day and the Senate likely will take
up the $16,000,000,000 defense appro
priation bill tomorrow. The Senate
may vote today, Lucas said, on the
McCarran anti-subversive bill,
statehood utils
Lucas also said he will call up
the Alaskan and Hawaiian state
hood bills, but that he did not think
any action could be taken before
quitting time.
“Some of the Senators tell me
that these bills might require three
weeks of debate,” he said. If that
situation develops I don’t see how
we can keep the Senate in session
to dispose of them. However, we’ll
call them up and see what situa
tion develops.”
Mr. Truman has said repeatedly
he would like to get both bills en
acted in this session.
