Bu->ine:>s Week thinks that tlw PWA is dying, and recent event* would indicate tliat Is true. PWA activities have been greatly cur* tailed, and m a number of statei no new projects are being undertaken. Congre,, will probably approve ap¬ propriation-, for projects already planned, but there will be little new work anywhere.
There will be nothing new to taxation this sesdon. with the p(w« sible exception of laws to plug up loopholes in existing tax legislation. Senator La Follette's proposal to widen the tax base (that is, reduoe exemptions as well as Increase high- er bracket rates) did not pass, but it received a surprisingly large vote. Most authorities feel that a slmUar measure will be passed, of necessity, in a year or so
tt is doubtful if laws deallnf with .strikes will be passed. There seems to have t>een a change, according to mo-t Washington observers. In ttie Administrati m'> attitude toward !•• bor and r.> leaders. They think ttM President is becoming less sytnp*- thetic with Mr Lewis, that the CIO is gradually lo-ing White House sup¬ ioort. and that the Administration will take mire of a middle ground. T.his reflects t.he widespread opinion that the general public is less fa- \ orable to the CIO than It was a few months ago Recent events Indicate especially tha* agriculture Is strongly agalrut the Lewis movement, fear¬ ing that he mav tr>- to unionise farm hands and establi^.i »age levels tliat t.ie  average   farni^'r  cannot  meet.
Bpfore Congre.ss adjourns (best guesses place that date as Labor Day I there will be a gojd deal of verbal fireworks, but It Is very doubt¬ ful if any major bill of a revolution- aty nature, with the pos.sible ex¬ ception of tile Court compromise. v.li pas% Tlie attitude of congress¬ men today LS laigely one of caution— they don't want to take any steps that will further dl^t^ess business, and halt  tii" recovery  movement.
