FARM RELIEF
IS MUDDLED
Absence of Hoo +
Casts Doubt On
McNary Bill

WASHINGTON, Dec. T. up -
Farm legislation, long in a state Of
uncertainty, finds itself muddled
now by the absence Of the presi-
dent-elstt, Herbert Hoover.
A bill reported to have admins
tration approval. has been introduced
by Chairman McNary Of the senate
agriculture committee. But even be-
fore it is out of the committee room,
doubt has cast a shadow on its path.
Republican leaders do not seem TO
know what Mr.. Hoover's ideas on
this bill are.
Nevertheless, leaders in congress
opposed TO an extra session next
spring are believed to be thinking
Of asking MIR. Hoover to pass on the
McNary bill. They feel that with
his approval the measure might be
passed at the SEVENTEEN congress
and a special session for tariff reYi-
sion delayed until autumn. IL il is
decided to ask Mr.. Hoover the ques-
ton. then will come the worry over
ways and means of doing il.
Some congressional leaders under
stand that il the McNary bill is
passed at this session that Prssi-
dent Coolidge will leave the appoint
ment of the farm board to Mr.. Hoo
yer. They believe the president feels
that the Hoover administration will
be saddled with the responsibility
Of farm relief and that the presi-
dent-elect should be entrusted with
lay ing the ground work.
