NEW i. O.P. GROUP
 WON'T COMPROMISE
Senator Nye Refuses to Change
 Farm Relief Bill
RETAIN FEE PROVISION
Senator Brookhart. Iowa. Works Out Plan to Substitute Direct Appro- priations by Government to Raise Funds to Handle Surplus Crops.

Washington, Oct 21.-tFf-Oppo- ranks of the newly organized group of Western Republican senators to the proposal to eliminate the con- troversial equalization fee provision of the vetoed McNary- -Haugen farm bill in a substitute under considera- tion.
 Sen. Nye Against Substitute
 Senator Nye of North Dakota, one Of the five members of the western bloc. served notice that he was not ready to abandon the equalization fee in an effort to get a substitute farm bill acceptable to all mem bers of the group.
 While Senator Borah Of Idaho, also a member of the group. has been an opponent of the equaliza- ton fee, it had been hoped by the western senators that they might find substitute would be acceptable to him, but Senator Nye insisted to- day that such Q provision had not been found.
 Senator Brookhart of Iowa, anoth- CT member of the group, has been working on plan which would substitute direct appropriations by the government as a means of rais- ing funds 10 handle surplus crops in place Of the equalization fee. Senator Nye does not favor this in it's present form.
 Meeting on Monday
 A meeting which had been called for today in an effort to work out the differences Of the bloc on the farm relief problem was postponed until Monday because of the in- ability of some members to attend.
 The stand taken by Senator We, which he indicated was shared by some other members of the group, indicates that some time would be required In working out the farm problem. The North Dakota senator said that he would not be opposed to listening to a substitute for the equalization fee, but he would have to be convinced of it's adaptability before abandoning this point in the vetoed McNary Haugen bill.
