Crackled With PoUcs Congress Adjourns Thorny Special Term HISS'SSIff! rtittf ttcHiJy tnnj Sal.r. dcv iccila'H ll Ici.lll pcrl.cn in lowtr 68 lo 75 H. Hcfin Ed 13 V5 Sc.lv.0or. post-convention i crackled with politics and duced disappointments (or By JOE HALL WASHINGTON (AP)-The 86h Congress has adjourned after a that pro- both the Democrats and President Eisenhower. The House quit Thursday night at p.m., the Senate at 11:51 p.m.

after spending more than three hours trying to round up a quorum of 51 members to complete its business. The final flurry of Senate debate whirled around a proposal to provide more money for a watchdog subcommittee to check on whether radio and TV stations give fair treatment in political broadccsts. The proposal died with adjournment. Lelt In Limbo Also left in the legislative limbo was a measure that would have given Eisenhower a free hand in cutting or eliminating a special sugar quota assigned to the Dominican Republic, with which the United States has broken diplomatic relations. It was a Senate-House dispute over the sugar bill which had blocked adjournment a day earlier.

Each side held firm and the bill died. Facing each other in the Senate chamber through much of the four-week session were the Democratic presidential nominee. Sen. John F. and the Republican standard-bearer, Vice President Richard M.

Nixon, the Senate's presiding officer. Leaders in both political camps were less than enthusiastic when the windup came. "Empty, Negative Record" Kennedy said the Republican aim in the short session was to embarrass the Democrats and conceal the "empty negative record" of the GOP. He accused the Republican leadership of trying to block action on several issues he favored. House I i can Leader Charles A.

Hal leek of Indiana described the August session as an exercise in futility. He said, "If it was designed lo put Ihe Democratic presidential campaign ticket into orbit, it fizzled out on the launching platform." Although both sides suffered disappointments the controlled session Democratic took care of several legislative chores. Measures passed included foreign aid appropriations and money needed for some of the government's rou- line opcralions, a bill aimed al helping certain old persons with their medical expenses, Ihe ant- arctic treaty and a measure directed at eliminating practices such as payola in the broadcasting industry.
