Congress Adjourns for Holiday Recess Amid Partisan Turmoil
Washington D C December 24 Congress adjourned for the holiday recess after three weeks of petty bickering. The session yielded little but partisan tension as leaders hope home district contact will curb the bickering. The bonus and tax proposals dominate debate with senators pledging conflicting votes and Mellon warning of costs and higher interest rates. Senator Reed seeks inquiry into propaganda while Simmons backs Merlon tax provisions with limits on tax relief for the rich.
