Consolidation Important By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON I. N. S. Staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6--Stirred by a verbal war over prohibition enforcement, the seventy-first congress convened today after a holiday recess to find the year-old tariff bill topping a heavy legislative program. While the prohibition issue mil furnish congress with oratorical fireworks for months to its most pressing problems were to dispose of the tariff bill and enact $4,500,000,000 in appropriation bills. After that, the prohibition war probably will occupy the legislative spotlight, since congress intends to enact legislation to carry out all recommendations of President Hoover's law enforcement commission. The rest of the legislative program will include action on a bill disposing of the Muscle Shoals project, enactment of prison reform legislation, passage of a bill placing all telephone, telegraph, radio and cable communications under, a single federal commission, extension, of government's control activities and possibly some legislation on railroad consolidations.

This program doubless will keep congress In session until July or August. The tariff bill held the attention of the senate to the exclusion of all other legislation.
