Congress met today for a show down decision on whether to ad join for the remainder of the year and go home. Speaker Rayburn, advocating im mediate adjournment, said the Democratic leadership was certain of sufficient strength in the House to pass an adjournment resolution provided enough Democrats returned to their desko for the occasion. Martin Optismistlc Rep. Martin (Mass), Republican leader who opposes adjournment, foresaw, however, a vote "closer than they think it will We have a good chance to defeat the resolution." On the. Senate side the consensus seemed to be that if the House voted for adjournment, the resolu tion was sure of Senate approval.

Although the House vote on ad journment aroused the most inter est, both chambers had other items on their calendars. In the Senate Administration leaders were anxious to obtain action on four appointments, includ ing that of Harry A. Mill is to the Labor Relations Board, which has not yet committee approval. Other Nominations Other nominations pending were: Wayne C. Taylor to be under secre tary of Commerce, John J.

Demp-sey to be a member of the Mari time Commission, and J. Warren Madden, whom Millis would replace on the Labor Board, for judge on the Court of Claims. The Taylor and Dempsey appointments have been given committee approval and lack only final Senate action. Both House and Senate also had before them a joint committee's compromise agreement on the Ramspeck Bill which would authorize the President to extend civil service to some 200,000 federal employes after non-competitive examinations. Third Longest Session Adjournment of Congress today would make the present session the third longest in peacetime history.

It has been 322 days since this session convened. The peacetime record is held by the 1867-S8 Congress which met for 345 days before adjourning. In 1913-14 there was a session of 328 days. The wartime Congress of 1917-18 set the all-time record with a session of 354 days.
