GARNER ON ROSTRUM
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1831
Washington. Dec. 7 — (UP) The seventy-second congress of the United States came into existence today at noon. Gavels fell in the house and senate, calling to order the most immediate national legislative session since the war.
Before adjournment in the late spring or early summer, the more than 500 men and women assembled must pass upon increased taxes for their own people, a debt moratorium for Europe, and a finance force for corporations and home owners.

3 " was John Nance Garner's day or the week after he came to the hotel. Gar was a quick-tempered, white-haired Texan, is considered the ablest of rough and tough legends.
Control of the house pass to the Democrats. Awaiting the oath in the house were 89 representatives and a delegate from Alaska. There are 18 new senators. The order of business in both businesses was to proceed with organization.
The senate remained Republican Among the 18 senators to take the oath was Mrs Hattie Caraway, the first woman working senator. The "most exclusive club in the world" already was experiencing some difficulty in adjusting itself to
Overflow crowds sought house and senate galleries. An obscure back desk in the senate which entrusted enokiers with monitoring the security of the crowd. That desk was formerly occupied by Dwight W. Morrow; whose recent death took from the senate.
The keynote of the new congress seemed to be uncertainty. Its members were troubled with economic constraints, but it was not been able to cope. They have heard from the folks "back home." From the fork of the corksame word that congress had better reach into its plug and produce something more interesting.
With a volume of complaints the mayor has many $10,000-a-year services the petitioners demand he be called upon to provide life next year unless the seventy-second congress be elected.
