daunted by storm clouds Of opposi-
tiOn both within and outside con-
gress, senate and house supporters
of the McNary-Haugen farm relief
bill today renewed their determined
effort to bring it to an early vote.
The senate is ready to debate fur
thcr today on the measure, while it's
the end of the week. To accomplish
the vote the bills supporters held IA
trump card-the cloture rule

6S senators have signed the neccs-
sary petition.
Not so speedy vote on the meas
ure is contemplated by its house
managers. The bill is scheduled for
debate tomorrow and it's considera-
tion is expected TO consume the re-
maindeF of the week. with vote be-
ing sought early next week.
Rough Sailing Anticipated
As their major argument, they
voiced the opinion the president
would not sign the bill if it were
passed.
Senator Tcss, Republican, Ohio,
predicted the veto, charactcrizing
the bill as can approach to soviet

tural situation was reduction Of pro-
duction and increase Of consumption.
The Republican leader, Curtis, of
Kansas. offered as complete sub
stitutc for the measure his own bill,
the Curtis-Crisp 25O,OOO,OOO farm
surplus measure, which he said
eliminated the equalization fee. This
latter phase Of the McNary Haugen
legislation, he declared, was ''uncon-
stitutional."
Approved BY Nations Farmers
Supporters of the bill, however, re-
futed the claim that the president
would veto it, Senator Gooding, Re
publican. Idaho. declaring Mr.. Cool,
idgc will be glad to sign the bill,
while Senator Sheppard, Democrat
Texas, formerly an opponent of the
measure, said he would support il

London, Novr. 18th. The great crowd
that assemblies in Whitehall on armistice
day is like no other that London knows
Throughout the year. 1t assemblies and
it stands 10 silence, and the perfect ST.
lence is a measure of the deep emotions
in all hearts which are not diminished by
the passage of nine years. In the early
hours of this morning people began to
gather near the cenotaph, which had al
r ady been piled with wreaths. Before
the ceremony began, Whitehall was
again a mass Of silent and noiseIess hu-
manity. The same ceremony as in pre-
viUus years was followed, Ten minutes
before that began, the King arrived and
stood between his sons in a hollow
square round the cenotaph, formed by
service and ex-service detachments.
He stepped forward and laid his wreath
at the foot of the cenotaph, after which
others were laid by the Princes, men,
bers of the Government and representa-
tives of the services and from overseas.
Then, with the firing of signals, came
two minutes silence. AS it ended, bugle
notes Of The last post were sour ded and
the crowd, led by choirs and massed
guards bands, sang 20 God our help in
ages past. A prayer followed and the
service ended with the national anthem.
Then began a reverent pilgrimage to the
cenotaph by a patient queue of people to
lay their wreaths at its base. Mean.
