An argument featuring former
Senator Marion Butler and Repre-
sentative Sam l.. Brinson, both OIL
North Carolina. came near the close
OF ,uday's session when Mr.. Brlnson
alleged that Senator Butler had IN
jected politics into what should have
been a dispassionate discussion OF the
crisis in the agricultural sections.
Mr.. Butler had charged that the fed

The entire days session, attended
by more than a dozen members or
congress and nearly hundred rep

and denunciation of the federal re-

The conference delegated Senator
Lee 5. Oyerman and Senator Haf-

products of the farm.
Farmers strike Threatened
Heated discussion was heard
throughout the all day session today
Senator Ellison ID. Smith. OF Soutl

Both Representative Brinson and

challenged the conspiracy charge OF
Mr.. Butler. who scathingly denounc-
ed "usurpation of authority by the
reserve oard and declared the
board had brought on the panic.
Butter Makes Several Talks.
j Senator Butler made several
speeches, growing me e intense with
each. He attributed to the Aldrieh
monetary committee and The Fatt ad-
ministraton most of The credit for
the existing currency law. which,
however. he said was being arbi-
trarily administered BY board sup
posed to represent the public and not

Il thought we came here for a
dispassionato discussion of our trou-
bles and not politics." said Repre-
sentative Brlnson.
Il am sorry Senator Butler has
injected politics. agree with some
of the things he has said, including
somewhat his criticisms of Secretary
Houston, but we cannot get along
unless we discuss this crisis dispas-
sionately."
