The Lott Hennessev and Cochet-
Brucnon match contained more spark

FARM RELIEF FIGHT
IS DUE IN SENATE
Action on McNary-Haugen
Bill Looms in Agriculture
Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

Br the Associated Press
The farm relief battle promises to
shift to the Senate this week, where
there are indications that the agri-
culture committee. will take swift and
favorable action on the McNary-
Haugen bill. the subject of three weeks
of hearings so far before the House
committee. A showdown is expected
=, Wednesday when the Senate commit
tee will meet in executive session to
consider several pending proposals.
Advocates of the modified McNary
bill, temporarily blocked in the House,
insist they have enough votes In COM
mittce to report out the measure i'm
mediately and force it TO early con-
sideration in the Senate. AS result
the McNary- Haugen forces have sud-
denly shifted their attack from the
! House. where opponents OF the bill.
vetoed last session by President Cool
idge. have waged stubborn battle.
Hearings Banned.
The Senate agriculture committee
has decided definitely to do away with
hearings on farm relief. believing the
cAtcIlSiNC NlSCuSSiOIiS Va years past ana
of those conducted this session before
the House committee will serve its pur-
poses in reconsidering agricultural
legislation.
The new bill Of Senator McNary, Re-
publican. Oregon. who Is chairman of
the agricultural committee. meets some
of the objections voiced by the Presi-
dent year ago In vetoing the McNary-
Haugcn measure. but 1t still provides
for collection OF an equalization fee as
a means of obtaining revenue to mar
ket the surplus crops. While Senator
McNary has announced he expected
White House sanction of his modified
bill. there have been no indications of
such favor toward 1t by MIR. Coolidge,
and the Oregon Senator does not pro-
fess to have received any approval for
1t as yet.
Enough Votes Seen.
There Is confidence. however. In
the McNary- Haugen ranks In the Sem
ate that the bill can be reported with
ont any trouble by the committee. prob
ably at It's meeting Wednesday. and
that the votes can be mustered TO put
1t through the Senate.
The Senate gave a comfortable ma
jority TO the old McNary- Haugen bill
last year Meanwhile there has been
little farm relief discussion in that body
and Just what lineup will develop on
the modified bill Is somewhat uncertain.
