Senate Makes
Small Progress
On Farm Relief

Washington, March 12-The senate
added five hours today to the many
already devoted to consideration of
it's first farm relief measure-the
Norbeck- Burtness diversification bill
and recessed with 4 vote still in
the indefinite future.
Beyond placing on record the atti-
tude of practically every senator
present, the only accomplishment of
the day was the adoption of an
amendment by Senator Walsh,
Democrat. Montana, giving the Sec
rotary of agriculture discretionary
power in the selection of an agency
through which the $50,000,000 to be
appropriated would be distributed.
Senator Walsh first proposed that
the use of existing agencies. such as
the farm loan board. be made COM
pulsory but the amendment was lost
by tie vote.
1--WE are on the eve of a national
campaing," Senator Walsh said, Gin
support of this proposal and l I'M
dertake to say that if the distribu-
ton of this fund is left in he un-
restrained control of the secretary Of
agriculture we are likely to have a
national scandal of the same sort
now holding our attention"
