RURAL CREDIT RIDER
PERPLEXES SOLONS
Senate and House Leaders Fear
Legislative Jam Over Me-
Cumber Amendment to Bill.

The rural credits rider on the asri-
cultura! appropriation bill today threat
ems a serious legislative jam In the
closing days Of the session.
Both senate and House leaders are
apprehensivc over the insertion of the
McCumber rural credits amendment,
and the concern of the Administration
was shown when Postmaster General
Burlcson hurried to the Capitol ycster-
dav afternoon to aid the House Demo-
Gratis in eNtricatns themselves.
Government aid in its far-reaching
form Is proposed in the McCumber
amendment, slipped into the agricul-
tural bill while the Administration sup
porters In the Senate were mapping, and
the Administration is squarcly against
Government aid. The problem now is to
get a compromise through the two
houses, instead of approving the direct
loan-to-farmcrs idea and the Sl0.oOO,m0
initial appropriation in the McCumber
amendment
Senate Democrats, struck with the
exiGcncies of the situation, brought in a
compromise measure from the currency
Committee late yesterday, and at $3.50
O'Clock tomorrow morning tho House
Committee on Agriculture will meet to
some measure to the President which he
will not feel Obliged to veto.
Advocates of rural credits legislation
in the House drew first blood yesterday
afternoon when they blocked Il plan to
send the agricultural bill direct to con.
ference The measure was sent instead
10 the Committee on Agriculture, when
must now bring the amended bill back
into the House and permit debate on
rural credits legislation, which the lead
ers have managed to sdestep all ses-
sion.
When Consrossmen Henry and Garner
suggested sending the bill to conference,
hut having an advance vote on rural
redits. the warning factions. AFRAID OF
losing strategic advantage, could reach
no agreement. 4 half dozen members
arose to object TO Congressman Lever s
suggestion that the bill be sent direct

Several other objections were herd

"Docked" SOLOns
Look for Refund
Congressman Moore and Humph.
reys, In Resolutions, Ask Re-
neal of Underwood Measure.

Isn't It enough to make a fellow mad
when the House docks him for alb
senteeism and then repeals the docking
resolution without. giving the money
back?
Perhaps so; at any rate Congressman
J. Hampton Moore Of Pennsylvania
AYERS that the time has arrived for the
sergeant-at-arms OF the House to re-
fund the money taken from "docked'
members last summer when 1t was
found difficult to maintain a quorum.
Both Mr.. Moore and Congressman
Humphreys Of Mississippi introduced
resolutions in the House yesterday pro-
vidng for refund to members who
were dockcd last summer. 1t is recalled
that the House passed the Underwood
docking resolution at time when alb
senteesm f1ourished and the members
who were here voted loudly to penalize
those who were away.
Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Humphreys are
sessions Of the House and 1t Is not re-
lated whether they were 'docked." but
probably two-score members Of the
House. who suffered losses anywhere
from $20.54-the penalty for one days
absence during a brief period-to $500.
would be glad to see the adoption Of
their resolutions.
The Underwood resolution was re-
pealed after business in the House grew
slack last summer and that adds to the
Indignation Of the docked members.
