The newspaper industry of the
United States is in urgent need of a

best market for the timber resources
Of Alaska is through the pulp and

To meet this situation a special re-

Washington. May 2S.-(By the A

administration today to bring forth
some compromise farm relief mca-
sure which can be passed before ad
journment of Congress.
The growing complexity of the leg
islative situation surrounding agri-
cultural aid bills was laid before
President Coolidge by members of
Congress. Chairman Smell of the
house rules committee told the Presi-
dent that defeat of the Nc Nary Hau-
gen farm export bill in the House
appeared certain.
Senator Gooding, Republican, Ida
no. advised the executive that the
farm bloc of which he is a member
and the insurgent Republicans would
demand enactment of some farm leg
islation, preferably the McNary Hau-
gen bill as Il condition to adjourn
ment before the Republican nation
al convention. Another Idaho mem
Der, Rep. French, a Republican. also
urged the ACCESSIBILITY OF action on
the McNary- Haugcn bill but said
the vote on the measure would be
close.
The administration, so far as made
known, has evolved no compromise
but is looking to Republicans in Con-
gress to bring forward some plan
which can command support sutfi-
cient to enact measure in 10 days
