committee and Herbert c. Hoover to

possible that the president may go
before congress personally and urge
that all petty Chickering'S be elimi-
mated
A definite program 10 limit op-
stacles to the bill was to be worked
out at today's cabinet meeting. The
president is facing opposition in his
own party and the republican meai-
bers are being counted on to push
through the bill. particularly IN the
senate where the predominant oppo-
sition lies on the democratic side.
The cenate agricultural committee
showed a majority against the bill
and it appears that ii it is reported
out there will be no recommends

including Senators Kenyon, Brady
