TIME
Both Houses spent the greater part of their time filling Committee places, and fighting for Committee advantages.
The Senate:
¶Received for confirmation several thousand nominations for various Government posts.
¶Confirmed the nomination of ex-Senator Frank B. Kellogg as Ambassador to Great Britain. ¶ Held up the nomination of Edward P. Farley as Chairman of the Shipping Board until investigation showed whether the charge was true that he was interested in a British shipping company, and gave British vessels preference over American ships in carrying grain for export.
The House:
¶Took a three-day recess in honor of its deceased members, during which Committee assignments were prepared.
