PRESIDENT SEEKS
FLOOD BILL PARLEY
House and Senate Conferees
to Visit Executive
Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
President Coolidge yesterday invited
House and Senate conferees on the
Mississippi River ood-control bill TO
visit the White House tomorrow to dis
cuss bis differences with Congress over
several provisions of the measure.
The conferees said they had received
the invitation this morning and had
accepted Immediately. The develop
ment was regarded by supporters Of
the bill as indicating possibility that
the President and Congress may yet
get together on the measure.
Ma jority Approved Bill.
Only yesterday it was disclosed that
the President telt that Congress had
made little change in the plan to meet
his views and that he was disturbed be-
cause the House and Senate conferees
had completed the final draft of the
measure without consulting him.
While the congressional managers on
the legislation readily acceded to the
request for conference with Mr.
Coolidge, they apparently were con-
vinced tnat the measure as il now
stands presents a comprehensive and
adequate solution Of the food control
problem.
They pointed out that the bill as
agreed upon had received the approval
Of an overwhelming majority in both
the House and Senate. and that the
House had acted after a number OF
conferences between House administra-
ton leaders and the Chief Executive
They also felt that the measure en-
braced number Of changes desired by
the President. and that further revision
to increase the contribution to be made
by States in the Mississippi Valley to-
ward the undertaking as he desires
might endanger the success Of the
project
Distribution of Cost in Question.
Mr.. Coolidge has insisted upon the
States in the food area assuming a
larger part of the financial burden.
and from the inception of the food
control legislation in Congress this has
been one of the outstanding points in
dispute. If the prospective conference
should result in an ironing out of diff
ferenceS it will be possible for the meas
ure to be revised along the lines de-
sired. Pending the conference both the
House and Senate will defer further
consideration of the measure. which
has reached the verge of final action
in both bodies
In order TO change the bill however.
II will only be necessary for Senator
Jones OF the Senate commerce commit
tee and Chairman Reid of the House
fiood-control committee. who are in
charge of the legislation. TO ask for
withdrawal Of the conference reports
they have submitted.
