New Attack
Is Made on
NorbeckBill
Pat Harrison Would Make
Loans Under Relief Meas

Farmers.
Norris andHowell Protest
BY p. c. POWELL

washington Correspondent Ine On1hna Zee
Washington, March 10-Following a
day spent in hot debate on the Nor
beck farm relief bill, the senate ad
iourned late tonight with less hope OF
~rhe bills ultimate passage than at
any previous time.
Shortly before adjournment, Senator
Pat Harrison of Mississippi intro
duced an amendment to the preamble
and substance of the bill which would
throw the $50,000,OO0 intended for re-
lief of the wheat farmer open to any
farmer in the United States who
could prove he needed money with
which to purchase cattle. The south.
ern senator intimates that II this
amendment carried he might with
draw his original amendment calling
for o5,000,000 extra for southern
growers.
Norris Voices Objection.
Harrison's amendment instantly
aroused opposition Of Senator Norris,
chairman of the agriculture COM
naittee, and other senators who prev
ious to that time had been in favor
of the measure.
1.-The bill Is for the purpose OF aid
ing wheat farmers whose present
plight can be charged directly to the
government who during the war asked
them to drop diversification and grow
wheat exclusively in order to win the
war, Senator Norris said. The gov
ernment is under no such obligation
TO any other section and II this amend
unent carries I cant support the bin.' -
Reed AssaiIs Hoover.
Senator Reed. democrat, Missouri,
supported the Harrison amendment.
He bitterly assailed Herbert Hoover,
who was food administrator during
the war and who was responsible, he
declared, for the present plight OF the
wheat farmer.
$ Only two democrats, Ralston, OF In
diana, and Kendrick. of Wyoming, ex-
pressed appreciation Of the work done
by the wheat farmer in winning the
war. They pledged their support TO the
original bill which called for sSo,ooo,-
600 for relief of the wheat farmer.
Senator Willis of Ohio, intimated
that attempts we're being made to
load the bill with amendments so II
couldn't receive support Of persons
who favored the original measure
which provided relief for the wheat
farmer alone.
"I hope the senator from Ohio
doesn't think that IL my reason Tor
introducing the amendment, Har'
risou said.
mo, can't gay DO" Willis said.
The amendment by Harrison,
Georgia, calling for tacking on slo''
900 900, later cut to s5,ooo,ooo. for
the government to purchase fertilizer
to he sold to southern planters. was
killed by vote Of "a to rs.
Both Senators Howell and No''ris
voted against the Harrison amend
rnent although a majority OF the farm
bloc led by Senator capper voted IN
favor of ii.

Dillon, with her 4-year-old son, Byrd,
by a former marriage, en- route from
New York state to the west, had been
stopping at the Castle hotel since
their arrival here February %.
Last Tuesday morning Mr.. Dillon
left the hotel. telling his wife that he
was going to Alliance. Neb., to buy
cattle for his ranch near Torrington,
Wyo. lie said that he expected TO re-
turn within two days, when the three
would proceed to Denver, where they
planned to make their home.
Gassed and Wounded.
Since that time Mrs. Dillon has re-
eelved no word from her husband.
Mr.. Dillon, who his wife says was a
member of an aero bombing squadron
In the world war, was gassed ana
wounded by shrapnel and suffers oe-
casional strokes as r result OF MS
injuries. The wife fears that he eth
er has been overcome by stroke or
that he met with foul play.
She said that Mr.. Dillon was carry
rying on his person her watch get
with two diamonds. diamond pin and
a ring set with four diamonds, to-
gether valued at approximately sSVo'
and that he may have been the victim
of robbers. She vigorously denied an
account published in an Omaha news
paper yesterday stating that she sus-
nected her husband of pawning the
jewelry.
Doesn't Fear Desertion.
"I know he hasn't deserted me,
Mrs. Dillon said last night. II ne
walks into the hotel tomorrow he'll be
as welcome as he ever was.
"It is untrue that was lett
stranded here. An Omaha doctor ana
his wife are looking out for my inter-
ests. The hotel manager also mas
been very kind.
"I am trying to get in touch WIN
an aunt Of my husbands in Denver
and probably will leave for that city
in a day or two unless I hear from
Mr.. Dillon"
Mr.. and Mrs. Dillon were married
on Christmas day In New York state.
They had known each other 10 years
ago. Mrs. Dillon met him for the
second time four months before their
marriage. He Is 81 and had not been
married before.
