Closing Hours Celebrate Sixtieth Congress Unity
In Washington the closing hours of the first session of the Sixtieth Congress showed rare bipartisanship as Democrats and Republicans, northerners and southerners, Roosevelt and Bryan supporters, joined in song after the government stability bill conference report passed.
