BLEAK OUTLOOK
FOR SUCCESS OF
FARM MEASURE
M'Nary-Haugen Bill Fails
To Get TwO-Thirds Vote
In House.
By THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, May 1.-The
McNary-lIaugcn farm relief bill
supporters failed to secure the two
thirds ma ajority in the House which
is necessary to override veto by
President Coolidge, now regarded
rs inevitable since the equalization
fee remains in the measure.
The vote on passage of the mea
sure last night, 204 to 121, indicates
very clearly the House could not
pass the measure over Il veto. Two
thirds in each body is required for
passage over II veto. The Senate
farm bloc marshalled the two thirds
when it approved the bill few
weeks ago.
The measure now goes to confer
cree to adjust minor differences III
form as passed by House and Sen
ate. 1t should be in President
Coolidge's hands early next week.
1t was significant that 100 mem
hers did not vote last night. The
absentee vote must be taken into
consideration in forecasting proba-
bic action in case Of veto.
The House passed the bill in the
last Congress by Il vote of PA to
I78, only 43 members failing to
Hote at that time. The vote for the
Aswell substitute however, is q
better index than the vote on pas
sage. \ total Of l46 members went
on record for this substitute, which
was Il direct vote against the cquali-
zation fee, since it eliminated the
fee provisions. There were 1856 votes
against the Aswcll substitute.
Farm Bloc Receivers
The farm bloc recovered from its
defeat Wednesday when the equali-
Zation fee was voted out of the bill,
and all day yesterday voted down
with machinc-like precision al
amendments except two which spon-
sors Of the measure accepted.
One Of these, supported by the
cotton bloc, would prevent opera
tion Of the equalization fee upon
amy commodity without, approval of
the commodity council, and the
other would assess the same fee
upon stocks held by the packers as
well as that on live stock market

Growing Contest
Winner Unknown
ny United Press Leased Wire

PORTLAND, Maine, May 4. -
Knox county has held its first roos-
ter Growing contest but the winner
probably never will be known.
The five prize birds entered in the
ck-a-doodlcd tourney remained
stubbornly silent during most of the
contest, while members of the
grange waited patiently for the bat
tie of noise to begin.
Finally it was decided that the
bright lights of Glen Cove Hall were
responsible for the roostcrs silence
and some one suggested that the
lights be eXtinguished.
In the friendly darkness, the quin-
tet of chandeliers crowed Justify,
but then new obstacle arose. The
Judges couldn't determine which
rooster was doing the best growing
When the lights were switched ON
the Growing ceased and the Grang-
crs reluctantly decided that unlike
hog-calling and flagpole sitting con
tests, rooster Growing contest was
impracticablc.

COOLIDGE HOPES
FOR ACTION ON
DAM LEGISLATION
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Presi-
dent Coolidge was represented to-
day as hopeful that congress will
pass Boulder dam legislation.
He is anxious for this legislation
not only as important to flood con
troll but also as a means of supply
ing Southern California with better
domestic water.
The power development involved
in the Boulder dam project, the pre-
si1ent believes, is incidental, and
he feels that this condition should
not stand in the way of legislation.
He feels Il solution can be reach
ed to meet the objections of those
opposed to governmental power de-
velopment and operation.

ing to the News, a Scripps-Howard

The spectacle of a senator or
rcpresol gative under the influence
of liquor, undertaking publicly to
discuss affairs of state is always
disgusting,' the editorial says.
"Whcn such a senator or repre-
sentative is one who consistently
votes for prohibition, the hypocrisy
and rank abuse of special privilege
make the spectacle intolerable.'

No, somehow the conversation
