 The rejected resolution Is ex- pected to reach the Senate tomOr- row noon. On account of the ab- sence of fair proportion of mem bers, action will be postponed un- less Il canvass of the situation should indicate sufficient strength on the scene to save the resolution.
 There is considerable question as to whether or not the revival of the corporation would really con vey benefit. The attitude of many memberMof Congress is that even if 1t wOnfun't help it wouldn't hurt and that as the farmers want it they should be permitted to have It.
 If the veto is overridden, the ad- ministratiOn of the corporation by MT. Houston. who violently opposes it, would not be enthusiastic, it is feared.
