81st Congress Adjourns After 9 Month Session
To the Republicans, the Democratic majority in congress was a spendthrift aggregation. They said it had turned the government back to deficit spending as a monument to the "eighty-worst" congress—an echo of Mr. Trump's "one of the worst" labels on the G.O.P. 80th congress.
The path to adjournment was cleared by (1) house and senate approval of the compromise farm price support bill. (2) approval by both chambers of a 1 billion supplemental appropriation bill which included funds for the foreign arms aid program, and (3) senate confirmation of the appointment of former Sen. Mon C. Wallgren to the Federal Power omission and a string of uncontested nominations.
Washington. Oct. 20—(U.P.)- Congress put its 1949 record before the country today with the administration balancing a nearly perfect score on foreign policy against a spotty showing on domestic legislation.
The Republicans particularly condemned Mr. Truman's proposals for labor legislation, national health insurance, higher taxes (submitted in January and later withdrawn) and the Brannan farm program. The G.O.P. also criticized congressional inaction on civil rights.
The 81st congress finished its first session—the longest peacetime sitting in history—at 8:10 o'clock Wednesday night when the senate adjourned. The house had quit 70 minutes earlier. After a session of $9\%$ months, the final day was less hectic than usual.
Democratic review of the record ignored or deplored the big fight of the year over the Taft-Hartley labor law. Despite Democratic campaign promises, the senate passed a modified Taft-Hartley bill and the house passed no bill at all.
Congress ignored presidential proposals for river valley authorities and universal military training.
The Brannan plan got little attention before it was shelved for a new farm price support bill.
On other domestic issues, the result was more favorable to the administration. Congress approved a public housing bill, a 75-cent minimum wage, government reorganization power for the president, continued rent control, a revised armed services unification law, and pay raises for the president, his cabinet and other officials.

One foreign policy issue which
split the senate involved the reciprocal trade program. The administration succeeded in renewing the tariff-cutting program without the Republican - sponsored restrictions approved last year.

and other conditions.
Included among foreign policy measures were renewal of the Marshall plan, ratification of the North Atlantic treaty and approval of the foreign military aid program.
WEATHER
To pay for these programs and other government costs, congress appropriated $37,600,000,000 plus additional billions in contract authority. The total represented a cut of $1,800,000,000 below administration budget requests leaving a threatened deficit of $5 billion or more for the current fiscal year.

SAM Reviews Job Methods
A method of self-evaluation as an aid to obtaining jobs was discussed at a meeting of the Society for the Advancement of Management Wednesday night.
Some 600 students milled around the college football field last night and agreed to return to classes. At an earlier demonstration 1,000 students hinted darkly about striking for their principal demand for elimination of the college rule that unmarried coeds can't ride in automobiles.
The method is a plan of Napoleon Hill, author of books on how to obtain jobs. It involves a rating by the applicant of himself on 17 points, such as co-operation, enthusiasm and personality. This analysis and a photograph of the applicant are mailed to the head of the firm where the applicant wants a job. Several days before the letter is mailed a telegram is sent saying that the company will receive an important letter from the applicant. Then, according to Mr. Hill's plan, the company is expecting the letter which leads to an interview which lands the job.

Pride Must Go With Wages, Williams Says
A worker wants more than wages; he wants pride in himself, Whiting Williams, consultant on human relations in business, told students this morning in a speech sponsored by the Business School association.
"I believe that pride is made up of two hankerings." Mr. Williams said. "Hankering number one is for self respect—to believe that we're somebody. From burn to board president. I believe that no one is as sure along this line as he would like to be. Hankering number two is for outside confirmation of our importance—recognition."
Mr. Williams based his beliefs on the experiences he has had working with laborers and talking to "captains of industry" in many countries. The hunger for social respect is infinitely more important, he believes, than is the hunger for food.
"The main reason for the greatness of our nation." Mr. Williams said, "is that we have contrived a unique system of harnessing these two hankerings. We have established a caste system based on jobs. If you want to improve, make yourself useful."
An informal discussion of campus problems will be the theme of a joint student-faculty conference on Saturday, December 10.
Mr. Williams likened every job to a rung in the ladder of social respect. Opportunity then is the chance to move up the ladder. He believes that America will be great only as long as "Boss Public" maintains the chance for the worker to move up that ladder.
"Fear is the most important word in the worker's dictionary." Mr. Williams said. "Not fear of starving or losing his job, but fear of not gaining the respect of his fellow man. The second most important word is hope. Not the hope for more money, but the hope for promotion."
"We'd all like to take pride in our work, for if we don't we can't take pride in ourselves. And if we can't take pride in ourselves, we'll end up at the bottom of the river."
Sachem To Sponsor Conference Dec. 10
L. C. Woodruff, dean of men said the meeting will be sponsored by Sachem, the senior honor society for men.
