Three jobs for the next congress were guggested by President Roosevelt and Senator Car ter Glass (d., Va.), while other ad ministration leaders set to work on a dozen pressing legislative tasks. At least six major measures appeared certain of consideration, altho the president made it plain that his legis lative program would not take shape for many weeks. He expressed hope in a white house press conference for passage of a farm tenacy bill, pro viding federal aid for farm purchases. Chairman Jones (d., Tex.), of the house agriculture committee, already has predicted that such legislation is "assured." Minor changes in the Tennessee Valley act, placing heavier stress on land use and conservation activities, also received the president's endorse ment. Revision cf the tax on undis tributed corpoiation surpluses seemed increasingly probable as Glass, chair man of the appropriations committee, announced he favored Taome changes" of an unspecified nature in the undistributed corporate profits tax law. Simplification of the federal tax structure has been studied for more than three months by a joint committee of the house and senate. Other Probable Legislation. Other legislation apparently head ed for the statute book, included: 1. A crop insurance plan, slowly being carpentered by agriculture de partment experts and the house agri culture committee. 2. Xew neutrality laws, to replace the present act expiring May 1. Chair man McReynolds (d., Tenn.), of the house foreign affairs committee, and Senator Xye (d., X. D.), both are drafting anti-war legislation. 3. A r?lief bill, probably to be submitted by the president late in the session. A dozen other problems will clamor for attention when the session opens Jan. 3, returning congressmen said. Much new deal legislation, for ex ample, will expire in 1937 unless it is renewed by confess. The list includes the president's authority to devalue the dollar, the Reconstruc tion Fjuance corporation's lending power, the public works administra tion, the electric farm and home au thority, and the reciprocal tariff. Three committees named by the senate, house and President Roose velt are expected to submit blue prints for a thorogoing reorganiz ation of executive departments. Senator Guffey (d., Pa.), has pledged himself to press for enact ment of a coal bill, regulating prices and trade practices. Other congress men have demanded revival of XRA wage and hour standards, thru fed eral licencing of corporations en gaged in interstate trade, or by other methods. Bedford, la.
