Move.
special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.

Washington, Dec. 10.-A resolution
calling for a complete report Of expen-
ditures of the Federal Farm Loan
board stressing desire for informa-
tion relative to salary increases since
March 3. 1923. was passed unanimous
ly today in the United States senate.
The resolution was introduced by Sen
ator Boiah of Idaho.~
The resolution also called for a
statement from the board as to bal
ances in banks and expenses of banks
in 1920. In explaining his resolution
Borah announced that in asking for
this information he wished to estab-
lish ground work for a second reso-
luton which he had prepared and
would introduce.
Adoption of this resolution and sub
sequent work on the part Of the Farm
Loan board which it will entail will
automatically delay any attempt to
confirm the appointments Of NJ l..
Corey of Omaha. L. J. Pettijohn OF
Kansas and Elmer Lands OF Ohio.
Activities of these men in creating
the position of fiscal agent for the
board at n salary of s25 900 per year
for c. e. Lobdell. former chairman OF
the board. have been under investiga-
tion by the Nebraska delegation for
a week
Senator Arthur Capper. leader Of
the farm bloc, asserted that he would
be for anything that would force the
board to cut down the s25, 900 salary
which the board acquiesced in pay
ing when such salary was proposed
by members of the Federal Farm
Loan board
Furthermore, Capper voiced what is
taken to be the sentiment Of the farm
bloc relative to the Corey confirma-
ton when he said, II will be guided
absolutely by the expressed desires
OF Senators Howell and Norris in
voting on the confirmation OF Mr..
Corey. when corey's name comes up
