20 M'ADOO POINTS CONGRESS TO 8 BILLIONS NEED! Secretary of Treasury Warns Body of Danger in Fail ure to Pass Big Law . By Prett Washington, Oct, 4.—Plans of Congress to adjourn for n month over the November elections drew warning yesterday from Secretary McAdoo that failure to promptly en act the eight billion-dollar war I revenue bill will disorganize and en danger the national tinanee. "1 am Writing in deep solicitation.' j said Mr. McAdoo in a letter to Chairman Simmons, of the Senate Finance Committee, "to ask sour co-operation and that of the com- I mlttce on finance in averting a grave peril in the successful financial con- , duct of the war, 1 cannot disguise nor refrain from directing your at- ; tention to the fact that failure i promptly to report and pass the new revenue hill will disorganize and en- I danger the national finance." Mr. McAdoo's letter caused the ' finance committee to take imme- : diate steps to expedite its work of ! revising the House draft of the rev enue measure and upset plans an- ! nounced In the Senate for adjourn- i ment of Congress for a month be- | ginning October 20, In hi* letter to Senator Simmons, j Mr. McAdoo pointed out that the present war tax bill became opera tive one year ago to-day and said j that essential revenues would be lost I as well as time required by the ; treasurv in administering the new 1 law and by the public to familiarise j itself with it, by delay on the pend- | ing measure. Letters Spur lawmakers Upon receipt of Mr. McAdoo's let- i ter. Chairman Simmons and the I Senate committee agreed to work j with all possible speed, but the ' chairman said he did not see how it . was possible to report the bill before | October 25, even If then. He added! that plans of adjournment of Con- j gress on October 20. probably would be reconsidered. If by that time it is evident, he explained, that the bill cannot be reported, or passed by the Senate in quick time before the elections. Congress might save ■ time by proceeding with an ad- | Journment to begin just before the i elections and end a few days after- . ward. Three-Uay Recess Planned The adjournment program was i announced in the Senate by Major- i lty I-eader Martin, but, he said it i was framed on the assumption that j the revenue bill could not possibly | be disposed of before the elections. The Senate adjourned until Mon- j day and House leaders planned to ' begin to-day a series of three-day ' recesses until the J7,000,090,000 I army emergency appropriation bill ! is reported, probably about October ! 14, The Senate also plans similar re- j cesses until the bill the ramy budget J is passed.
