WASHINGTON, July 28.-Bi-par-
tisan senate forces today cleared the
way for passage possibly tomorrow or
early next week of an agricultural
credits bill embodying the administra-
tion plan to make the war finance cor
poration the administrative agency.
BY vote of 10 to 2, the senate
agricultural committee reported a new
substitute for the Norris. Kellogg and
other agricultural credits bills. The
new measure, presented by Senator
McNary, republican, Oregon, had gen.
eral backing of democrats as well as
republicans and leaders on both sides
said passage of the committee substi-
tute was assured. If debate should
prevent a vote tomorrow, leaders said
it surely would pass early next week.
Besides adopting the plan for fur
nishing of agricultural credits by the
war finance corporation, the commit

tee bill would Increase the authorized
bond issue to two billion dollars and
also authorize direct loans to produc-
ers and foreign governments. Dis
closures regarding genesis of the ad-
ministration legislation were made by
Senator Lenroot, who said that. after
being informed that Senator Norris
refused compromise, he, with Senator
kellogg, republican, Minnesota, held
conferences with Secretary Hoover Of
the department Of commerce, and Di-
rector Meyer of the war finance cor
poration, which resulted in framing Of
the administration measure. The first
suggestions to have the war finance
corporation take charge of the issuiE z

came from senators, while the aprin-
cipaI mover behind the Norris bi I,
Mr.. Lenroot said, was Carl 'Vroomaa a.

WASHINGTON, July 28.-Tax re-
vision got into house debate today
with prediction by Representative
Garner, of Texas, ranking democrat on
the ways and means committee that
the republican majority of that com
mittee would make few changes in the
existing revenue law, leaving to the
senate the task of perfecting the tax
measure. Representative MondeI. of
Wyoming, the republican leader, coun-
tered with the declaration that the
house would send the senate a bill
''the best possible product of our judg-
ment."
Specifically, Mr.. Garner said the
house committee would provide only
for repeal of the excess profits tax, Il
reduction in the surtaxes to a maxi :
mum of 25 to 35 per cent, and an in
He said all other taxes in the present
law probably would be left as at pres
ent.
Supplementing his declaration to the
house, Mr.. Garner said later that his
information was that the republicans
planned to offer the few changes he
had outlined as ''feeler" to the coun-
try and that the senate finance COM
mittee would redraft the tax bill in
the light of the reaction noted during
the proposed recess of congress.
representative Mondell told the
house that what was to happen as he
understood It was that the ways and
means committee would carefully con-
slider the question of revenue, report a
bill 'in due time after deliberation, IS
which bill would be considered in the
house in such form, and manner as
may be determined upon after full
consultation by the majority in con-
ference.
The tax debate came between the
two committee sessions today at
which number of additional wit
nesses appeared asking for repeal of
various taxes. Chairman Fordney
plans to close the public hearings to-
morrow, and to begin drafting the
bill after two or more days of execu-
tive hearings next week.
