Congress Nears End as Deliberations Conclude
Washington August 24 With eight months of struggle nearly spent Congress nears adjournment tonight. Leaders say the 74th Congress ends as last minute agreements push through tax, railroad pension, utility regulation, alcohol control, and gold suit bills. Senate filibuster blocks flood control while debate continues on a 100 million dollar deficiency appropriation and social security funding. The fight over the cotton plan and a 12 percent loan substitute for the subsidy prompts looming filibusters as NRA style coal legislation advances and gold devaluation claims face legal challenges.
