Future of Aircraft Industry Relies on Builders Advance
President Coolidge transmitted a National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics report urging retrenchment and specialization in the U S aircraft industry. It calls for industry readjustment, balanced government orders, and ongoing scientific research to sustain national defense and steady development. The plan favors continuous production, phased orders, and firm consolidation with proprietary rights in new designs.

Senate met noon December 8. Debate on Muscle Shoals disposition continued without decision as Underwood accepted War Secretary amendments to speed action. Edge warned of moving to vote on the President's veto after current measures. Norris urged FTC inquiry into consent decree in the packer and wholesale grocers case. Credentials of several senators were received for the March 4, 1926 term, and numerous nominations and appointments were announced.

Senate clash with Coolidge looms over postal pay veto
Robinson leads Democrats in pushing for action on the post salary bill as Edge seeks unanimous consent to vote on the veto. A list of Republican swing votes is cited, with 22 GOP senators viewed as doubtful or opposed to sustaining the President. Edge aims for a December 12 vote while Muscle Shoals remains unfinished business. Borah resists unanimous consent, positioning himself as Coolidge ally in the looming veto crisis.
