Washington, March 2.—Representative Underwood, democratic leader of the House, admitted that plans to adjourn Congress in June had "gone glimmering." He would not make a new prediction regarding adjournment stating that the speeding up process would continue. Congestion and delay in considering appropriation bills and not the "administration program" are responsible for the inability of Congress to adjourn in June, Underwood stated. He expressed confidence that the anti-trust and rural credit legislation would not interfere with an early adjournment, but that routine business would extend the session longer than anticipated.
Other democratic leaders were more gloomy. Some predicted that Congress would be on the job until August or September, on account of difficulties over the anti-trust bills.
