First Forensie Clash. talingoton, Dec. 12.--The first week of the Sixty-Fourtll conigress, vhich is destined to be Iiistoric in the nation's annals, brought about prac tically harmonious organization inl b)oth houses and revealed the deter Iuination of administration leaders to attemi)t no serious legislative b11s1 ness until after the holiday recess. President Wilson's address was the most ,important event of the week. The address furnished members of both houses with much food for thought and there were many indi cations that the defense programm0 ant revenue requirements dealt with would precipitate long and strenuous debate. Owing to the dificulty of reorgan izing the house columitees because of the greatly increased minority, con gress could not get down to actual business. Minority Leader Mann does not expect to have his committee as signments ready intil Tuesday. Con gress plans to adjourn Saturday until January 3. Senate Democrats and li)publicans will be ready with their commulittee reo rganlIV atlonl Itomlodtrow, but, tlhere is n1o (isposition in that l'ranch to under(ake consideratlon of -Any important legislation at once.
