ON farm Relief
Divided on Question Regarding

divided on the question of whether
to attempt farm relief legislation at
this session or leave the problem to
an extra session promised by Her

There are signs that some of the

fer to leave the farm relief problem
to his administration entirely, feel

campaign and that he will be held
completely responsible with its dis
position.

Also, there are rumors from some
Of the farm leaders outside of con-
gress who supported the McNary-
Haugen bills vetoed by President
Coolidge that they would prefer to
have the legislation 60 over to
the newly elected president. their
concern is reported to center about
the appointments the president
would make to the proposed federal
farm board.

disposing Of q farm marketing bill

farm relief until the fall when they
