The congressional books virtually wore closed early-tonight with only one major measure, the farm credits 1 ill, caught in the turmoil and jam of the closing hours.

In the course rf the day. however, and during the evening hours. Korea t f minor hills squeezed under the wire and others received their death blows. The debate turned on many subjects. Many statements prals.ng the two years' record of congress were made by republican leaders, while opposl.e views were voiced by their political opponents.
