FARM RELIEF

Act Passed BY House
With Fee Provision
To Be Vetoed Aver
Coolidge's Friends

WASHINGTON. May 4.-tP-The
McNary-Haugen farm relief bill today
entered the last lap of its legislative
journey to the White House.
For the second consecutive year
the measure. with its disputed equal
~ization fee for crop stahilization, was
approved last night by the house. The
vote was 204 TO l2l.
The bill now must 20 back 70 the
senate for a smoothing owe Of minor
differences. These are expected 20
be ironed out quickly and President
Coolidge will be forced 10 pass again
upon a farm relief plan containing q
provision which prompted him 70
veto last years bill.
The house vote was 13 less than
the two-thirds majority that would
be required q override presidential
%disapproval which administration
leaders freely predict will be forth
coming. The senate several weeks
ago approved the measure in a slight
IL different form BY a vote Of 81 70
%. or a few votes more than the
necessary two thirds.

The proposals offered exceeded a

three were approved. They provid-

the bill would create. when the equal

The house bill differs also from
the senate measure in that il does not
exempt beef and beef products from
