By universal Service . _
WASHINGTON. March 4.—At neon
today the 67th Congress passed into
history. unlamented and unmourncd
except by those members of the Sen-
ate and House whose terms of stn'ice
some to an end.
That hour. fixed by the Constitu-
tion. brought to a close a vession worn
out by weal-yin: filibuster: and by the
defeat of some or the most important
measures on the program of the party
in power. .
RESUME 01" SESSION
By United Press
The accomplishments of congress
naturally fall under two headings—
domcstic and international. Under
both headings a. record of lasting im-
portance was made:

The outstanding domestic legislation
of the 67th congress was the l-‘ordnev- .

and means committee got to work on
it before the congress assembled and
it passed the House July 21. 1921. It
was more than a year latcr or on
August 19, that it passed the senate.
It took the place of the Democratic
Underwood-Simmons law.
As the administration came
powor’on an economy platform. the
enactment oi’ the budget system of
making- government approprinions was
generally regarded by Republicans as
their next greatest achievement.

Billions Spent.
Three sets of appropriation bills
were passcd. involvinc l-illionn ni‘ dol-
lars for the upkr-cp of tho novcrnmont.
These bills. the last of which were fin-
ally enacted in the cioslllzr «luvs or thc
present scssion. will curl-v tlil- gi‘wcrn—
ment until June 30, 1034.
In the closing: days of the con~rms
there was also cnncted a bill both do-
mestic and international in its impli-
cations. 'l‘his was the lncnstn‘c tip-
provinp: the refunding: oi‘ the irltish
war debt of $6,600,000fim‘i.
Because. of a filibuster in the scnatr-
which will go down as one of the most
remarkable in rcnnlorlnl onnnis, the
"pet measure" of the administration.
the merchant marine or ship subsidy
bill. failed of passnco. The House para.-
ed it. but through administration
leaders tricd in mvcrv way to get it
through the scnatc. a group of homo-
crats and farm him: Republicans ob-
structed it to death.

time being. Tim ship subsidy filibus-
ter, howevcr. did not delay any appro-
priation bills or snriously iiitcrerrre
with other lczislation. It was con-
ductcd lcss by means of protractr-d
specchcs than by forcing othcr meri-
surcs into plnrcs of precedence ovnr
the subsidy. President Ilardini: pleads
ed hard for the time being. The ship
subsidy filibuster. however. did not do.
lay any appropriation bills or scri-
ously interefcro with other legislation.
It was conducted less by means or pro-
tractcd speeches than by forcing: other
measures into places of prcr‘cdcnce
over the subsidy. President Harding
pleaded hard for the subsidy. but his
effects were unavalllnn.
A scnato filibustni- also lcllicd the
Dyer anti-lynching hill. This filibusicr
was short but most clcvcrly handled.

on tho rart of those responsible. They
blufl‘ed the senate into the belief that
insistence on the Dyer bill would spcii
disaster. and the sponsors oi the hi'l

The Newberry Case.
This congress also saw the official
clndication and the passing of Senator
Truman H. Newberry of Michigan.
For three’ years tollbwlng his election
in 1918, Newborny had been the cen—
tral figure. in courts and in the senate,
of a unique election contest, growing
out of the expenditure of. money in his
campaign for nomination and election.
The U. S. Supreme court had set aside
his conviction. onrths ground that the
law under which he was convicted was
unconstitutional. . A senate coxnmitteo
investigated. and flnallythe majority
rt-portcd that Newberry was blameless
and clearly entitled to his seat._ A
Democratic minority held a contrary
view. and the senate. after a protract-
1923.
The case wasmade an issue in the
1922 election. and many senators felt
its effects. Soon after the results ct
that election became apparent. New-
bcrry, on November 19, 1922, resigned
and wcnt to Europe.
' limilh laid its hand heavily upon the
07th congress. Four senators and
more than a score or House members
died. The senators were Knox. Pen-
rosc and Crow ot' Pcnsylvania and
“'atson of Georgia. The House mem-
bt-rs included James R. Mannoi’. Illi—
nois, for many years a conspicuous fig-'
ure in the House.
In the nextcnncress. fifteen senators
who sat today in the upper house, and
a large number of house members villi
no longer be upon the rolls. having
been dct'cated in the 1922 elections. or

GAS FAMINE
By Universal Service .
WASHINGTON. March 43.—-—The
United States faces actual famine in
gasoline, oil and other petroleum pro—
duets. with consequent exorbitant
prices. unless immediate steps are
the industry in this country. Such is
the conclusion of the special Senate
Committee ‘ which investigated ' the
causes of the‘prevaillng high prices
of. these products. ..
Present conditions in the industry
endanger the entire automobile in-
dustry in the United States, the in-
vestigation shows. and unless speed-
ily corrected by government inter—
ference. the price of gasoline will be-
come prohibitive and it will not long—
er be possible for gasoline to be used
for motor cars. The report shows;
that the entire industry in this coun-
try is completely under the control
of the Standard Oil Company. which
