CONGRESS QUITS WITH LONG RECORD OF LEGISLATION XJnique Scenes Mark Closing Hours As Thomas' Oil Filibuster Kills Off Sev- WOMAN RELATES OWN STORY OF BRIDGE MURDER STORM SWEEPS OVER ENGtAND MASSES HALF-WAY MARK. NEW By HERBERT LITTLE, United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, March seventy-first congress expired today. All absolutely essential legislation completed when President Hoover, in the gilt-trimmed President's room off the Senate chamber, signed the last regular appropriation bill before noon. Senator Elmer Thomas, held tho Senate floor the last three hours before adjournment. Seeking unsuccessfully to bring to vote the Nye resolution for.

thor- i ough Investigation of the oil try, he also killed the maternity aid measure, the drastic Jenkins-Reed immigration bill, and the Vestal bill i forf urther protection of authors' in' terests. So completely did he block all business that the Senate failed to adopt the formal and customary re- ii solution notifying the waiting -i dent that the work of congress was ij done. He was waving a tattered suit of overalls from a drought farmer in the air, when VIce-Presldent Charles LCurtls brought down his gavel. "The hour of 12 noon having ar' the Senate is adjourned with. out day," he said.

A buzz of conversations and i'are- wells ended the last day. Fifteen i senators' terms expire. But Senator J. Thomas Heflin, assur- ed the Senate page-boys: "I'll be back." Some other retiring members felt i the same way. Song and good humor prevailed In the House, which moved back the hands of Its clock for six minutes to Hive genial speaker JLong- worth an ovation." HuHfiTroue es, sentimental speeches, songs by two quartets, music by a red-co band, and English music-hall songs by Rep.

Ruth Bryan Owen, dissipated any ill-feeling engendered In the strife of the closing days. Longworth himself played the ptano for some of the songs. The only House battle of the last d.ay was settled quickly when a vote ordered the House to recede to the Senate on a $20,877,000 veterans hospital bill. A special Joint resolution appropriating $5,000,000 to start this construction then was rushed through both Houses and signed by Mr. Hoover at once.

Terms of 81 oi the 431 present representatives' expired with the last bang of the gavel. Many are expected to attempt to return. Three members including Henry Allen Cooper, have died in the last three months. Three of the outgoing ones are moving to Senate seats. But gay voices overcame the sadness of parting for most.

One member after adjournment sang the war- City. March of Mrs. Myrtle Bennett, Kansas The trial charged with murdering her wealthy husband because he was a "bum bridge player," reached climax today when the defendant, sobbing and weeping, testified the shooting was accidental. Fighting to maintain her self control, the widow she would rather "be dead myself" than know she had killed her husband, jTohn G. Bennett, wealthy French perfume salesman.

Mrs. Bennett was dressed attractively In black as if in mourning, although the shooting occurred 16 months ago. During the bridge game which preceded the fatal shooting she said her husband bid one spade and she raised him to four. When he went set they quarreled and he packed his grip to leave home, she added. "I went into a bedroom to get my husband's revolver.

He always Tarried it," she sold. "Mr. Bennett met me HS I was coming out. He grabbed my arms. Hn twisted them and we scuffled.

"I don't, know how the gun discharged. don't know how It happened. The gun went, off. He stag- back, then fell on the floor." Mrs. Bennett's testimony was halted several times while she burled her face In a handkerchief and sobbed.

The defense rested with her testimony. Former Senator James A. Reed, defense counsel, said the case might reach the jury late tomorrow.

At least 15 cottages were completely demolished, others damaged beyond repair. There, officials estimated the damage, Including that done to amusement would exceed $75,000. Five persons were rescued by roast guardsmen with rowboats from their isolated homes at Hampton. Plymouth Rock, landing place of the Pilgrims, situated about 35 feet above the normal high water mark at Plymouth on (he south shore, was completely submerged by the tide. Other havoc was caused on the south shore where, at Highland Light, the maximum wind velocity was recorded at 00 miles an.

Deputy Prosecutor John Underwood, however, announced after the autopsy that, examination of the body The trend ol World War veterans toward taking advantage'of the borrowing power of their adjusted compensation certificates made possibly by ttye veterans' loan measure passed by Congress last Friday continues unabated In DuBols, and it is estimated that close to half a. thousand veterans have mndt; for the full loan value of their certificates already. While no organized means for procuring cash on the certificates existed when the legislation was adopted, no less.than four agencies arc involved Ifi helping veterans 1 to ''put their loans through, and each of them Is being kept busy. As yet.

however, no cash has been received here, and it Is expected that a week or ten days will before the money to fulfill the loan applications will begin to arrive.
