Congress to Lock Doors On Some Major Bills By Jack Bell WASHINGTON (AP)-Flushed with adjournment fever, Congress is getting ready to lock the cold storage vault on a dozen major administration legislative proposals on its way out of town. After a huddle with Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield and Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen Monday, House Speaker John W. McCormack announced a quitting goal of Oct. 22.

He said the final curtain might be pulled even before then. Later, McCormack and Mansfield met at the White House with President Johnson and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Before going to the White House, McCormack had conceded there is rough going ahead to try to get agreement by both houses on the form of such legislation as the demonstration cities bill, unemployment compensation, truth in packaging and the funding of Teacher Corps salaries. Even if the Democratic leaders succeed in getting whipped into shape, the election year Congress will leave 'behind a sizable number of administra- tion measures.

The Senate gave Johnson some trouble with his spending budget when it passed Monday a higher education bill ballooned $1.1 billion beyond his requests. The actual appropriations, however, remain to be determined in a later catch-all money In acting on the measure the Senate scuttled Johnson's request for District of Columbia home rule, refusing to filibuster threatened but never started by Southerners against an elective government in a city 63 per cent Negro in population. This and some other issues were left behind which Johnson may try to ignite in 1967. include the civil rights bill and the measure to eliminate state bans on the union shop both killed by the Senate. A gun control bill, truth in lending and at least three or four health programs the President recommended are going in the deep freeze, along with a Senate passed'wild rivers measure.

Johnson's proposed election law reforms, electoral college changes and four-year terms for House members got nowhere. Congressional redistricting was left for 1967. The President talked about easing East-West trade restrictions and the House responded by voting to prohibit bargain- price sales of U.S. farm commodities to nations that trade with North Viet Nam or Cuba. This has hung up food for peace legislation, although tt probably will be rescued before adjournment.

Congress paid no attention at all to a presidential recommendation to boost user taxes to provide more revenue for highway building. Hotel At KC Gets Green Light Monday, Oct. WASHINGTON appeal challenging construction of a multi-million dollar Hilton hotel and convention complex in downtown Kansas City was dismissed Monday by the U.S. Supreme Court. The project has been in litigation since 1963, when the plan was announced.

Operators of the Hotel Muehlebach and Hotel Continental said unconstitutional use was being made of state redevelopment laws to carry out the project.

The project would include two hotel buildings, one 16 stories, the other eight; six two-story motor hotel buildings and a two-story convention center. were: suit by the Prairie band of Potawatomie Indians against secretary of the interior, band sought to share in a judgment of $3 million given to members of the tribe for taken a century ago. dispute over whether 15 of land and the persons on them belonged to school districts in Haskell or County in Kansas.
