SHORT SESSION
CONGRESS MAY
PASS FARM AID
HoOVer'S Election Sounds
Death KneII of Fee
Plan.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press staff Corresnondent


WASHINGTON, Nov. Farm
relief legislation is expected to be
the keynote of the opening of the
Hoover administration unless the
short session of congress converting,
Dec. 3, disposes of it in a manner
acceptable to both President Cool
idge and Herbert Hoover.
Tariff revision on farm products
as suggested by Senator Curtis, the
Vice-PreSident-elect, is expected to
be big part of the prospective
farm program, although a federal
farm board and loans of government
money also have been emphasized
by the Republicans.
AS for the McNary- Haugen equal
ization fee farm relief plan twice
passed by congress and killed by
Coolidge vetoes, Hoover's election
may be regarded as its finishing
stroke. Hoover supported and adj
vised President Coolidge in his dis
approval of the fee plan.
Other Measures Unaffected
Adoption of a farm program al
the short session would save the e&-
penSe and trouble of summoning the
new seventy-first congress into ses
sion, March 4, as Hoover has indi-
Gated he will do IF necessary"
called the new congress probably
would consider no other subjects
Otherwise, Hoover'S election will
have little effect upon the man,
pending measures to be considered
at the short session along with
hundreds of others to be introduced.
except for strengthening the hand
of Republican leaders.
During the campaign Hoover haF
not discussed specifically Other
legislative plans. During his seven
and one half years as secretary OF
commerce, however, he was success
full notably in obtaining laws ~
strengthen the concrol of his de
partment over the projects in which
he was interested, without sub
stantial amendments.
Boulder Dam in Senate
Boulder dam will be 5he first SUBJ
ject to come before the Senate when
it meets next month. 1t is on the
calendar as unfinished business tC

Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia, sponsor OF the plan for a
$125, 100000 high dam for flood con-
troll and electric power to be built
by the government across the Colo
RADIO river at Boulder canyon, will
fight to obtain final passage at the
earliest moment.
Hoover's attitude toward the
Johnson bill is not definitely known,
but in an early campaign speech he
advocated 'the highest dam that
engineers will recommend" across
the river.
Other important proposals before
the house and senate from the first
session which adjourned in June inc
clude the sixteen-ship naval bill
passed by the house and now before
the senate and several measures de-
