WASLINGTON June 18 The senate and house pressed a fast pace toward Saturday adjournment disposing of major relief and other bills. A $2 375 000 000 relief-deficiency package was sent to the White House with $1 425 000 000 for relief and authorization for continuing the PWA.

A conference report on the Robinson-Patman anti bike discrimination bill moved to the White House and final action on several appropriations was reached in a flurry of activity aimed at a Sunday adjournment.
