Over Other Senate
Legislation.
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

Ant8KBDtsouat NcWb CcEsEpo-
! Legislative relief for American
,farfsfers was given the right of way
today az the Senate Agriculture
Committee resumed it's sessions.
With hundreds. Of appeals for gov
ernmental aid pouring In on farmers.
the committee hoped to launch RENE
dial measures before Congress- ends
its special session.. A dozen bills are
awaiting consideration, including a
number held over from the last ses-
sion Of Congress.
Steps were taken today to open
hearings on the bill, sponsored by
Chairman Norris (Rep) OF Nebraska.
to create 100000, 900 Federal cor
poration for buying and selling farm
products. The measure has been
approved by scores of farm organi.
nations, which contend its passage
would result in the stabilization OF
grain and cattle prices.
At the same time the Senate
farm bloc" through q special finsn.
cial committee, was drafting farm
credit legislation for presentation TO
the Agriculture Committee. This
proposed bin. sponsored by Senator
Capper CRepJ Of Kansas. chairman
Of the bloc" will be rushed to pas.
sage as q means Of extended finan-
cial help to farmers during the
spring planting season.
"A half dozen other farm credit
bills were before the committee and
its members intend to combine
these measures into one. bill which
will receive the undivided support
Of the farm bloc" With the Ad.
10 S-< s.ktn~> (aunrx~. ,o~<ot, xultaf
for farmers, Il was believed today
q farm credit bill would be passed
early IN the short session, which
begins December 4. This would
result In actual relief being given
farmers before they start planting
their sprinG crops.
The Agriculture Committee mean.
while must consider the resolution,
introduced by Senator Caraway
DemJ of Arkansas, which would
prohibit any Senator, defeated at
the recent election, from voting
on national legislation. The Cara.
wav proposal would also remove
from committee chairmanships all
Senatorsi whose policies were repu.
dated In their States during the
recent election.
This, departure in Senate rules
without doubt, will be defeated IL II
ever reaches vote in the Senate
Indications today were that the
measure would receive an unfavor'
able report In the committee hear
ing. II this occurs. the resolution
would be effectively killed without
ever reaching the floor OF the Senate
The occupancy Of committee chair
manships by Senators Borah Rep.l
Of Idaho. johnson Rep) OF Calf
fornia, and LaFollette (Rep) of Wis
cons,n, leaders Of the Progressives
would eliminate them, from support
ing any measure threatening their
posts. The entire strength Of the
administration would also be, thrown
against the resolution while some OF
the ''Old Guard" Democrats are
even expected 10 oppose II.
In the committee. Progressive Re
publicans like Chairman Norris and
Senator Lsdd QRep.) of North Da
kotA are said to look upon the reso
lution a. too radical" Although II
may receive the solid support Of
Democratic members. all indications
point to its rejection with an un
favorable report.
