Chairman McNary of the Senate
committee on agriculture today said
that ne did not think an extra session
would be necessary to obtain farm relief
legislation.
In the opinion of Senator McNary it
viii be possible to pass farm relief
measure acceptable to President Coolidge
within week. He does not believe that
the consideration of such a bill would
endanger other legislation pending be-
fore the short session. He will offer a
bin upon the meeting of the Senate
broadly along the lines Of the McNary-
Haugen bill, with the equalization fee
eliminated.
''It is not necessary for us to have
more hearings" he explained. adding
I'VE already have all the. information We
need as to what should be done and as
to what would be acceptable to Pres
ident Coolidge. We should therefore
act promptly and can we'll afford to put
into operation the machinery Of boarc
to handle the exportable surplus, pro-
vide funds for financing cooperative
associations and other provisions which
have also received the approval Of
President-elect Hoover and let thi:
machinery get into full operation ir
time to handle the next harvest Moth
ing could be gained by postponing ac'
ton until special session in the Spring
We can get the measure through thi:
