HOOVER HEARS
FARM CHIEFS
RELIEF VIEWS
ConferS With Numerous
Political ChieftainS
During Day.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-Presi-
dent-elect Hoover canyassed the
farm relief legislation situation
Iurtner today in conferences with
congressional and agricultural or
ganization leaders.
He was to discuss the farm prob
lem with Senator McNary (Rep9
oregon, author of the pending agrt-
cultural measure, and with Sam H.
Thompson of Chicago, president,
and Chester H. Gray, legislative rep
resentative here of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, which
supported the old McNary- Haugen
bill. twice vetoed by President Cool
idge.
The President-elect likewise was
expected to hear again opposition to
retention of Secretary of the Treas
ur yNdellon in his cabinet, this time
from Senator Couzens (Rep) Mich
igan. long time foe of Mellon, Sehed-
uled to see Hoover today.
Hear Couzens' Objection
The Mellon-Couzens feud dates
3sck to 1924, when the two wrote
each other long letters arguing
about tax policy, followed later by
Couzens' investigation of the inter-
nal revenue bureau, with climax in
the S1l 100000 tax suit brought by
the government against the multi
millionaire Michigan senator, who
blamed it upon Mellon.
Couzens objection to Mel M
would be the third brought to
Hoover in the last three days, both
Senators Brookhart of Iowa and Nye
Of North Dakota having previously
expressed their opposition to the
treasury secretary.
Mellon generally is regarded as
sure of retaining his post, though
the President-elect has made no Of
fetal announcement.
It appears that Hoover is resigned
70 an extra session. All congress
sional leaders who have visited him,
with the exception of Senator Moses
of New Hampshire, say there is no
chance of farm legislation at this
session, and representatives of the
farm bloc and farm organizations
have criticised the McNary bill as
inadequate.
May Change Farm Bill
1t may b ethat Hoover will seek
today to have McNary change his
measure to embody his own pro-
gram, with the idea of making 1t
the basis of farm relief legislation
in the extra session. With the farm
organization leaders, the President
elect is expected to discuss the
problem in general.
Other callers listed today include
Senators Reyes, New Hampshire;
Steiwer, oregon, and Pine, Okla
homa: Representatives Parker, New
York; Chalmers, Ohio, and Cramp-
ton, Michigan; Representative
Elect Langford, Virginia, and Ogden
Mills, under secretary Of the treas
tlry. who is being doomed for either
a cabinent post or diplomatic as
signment.

Cabinet RunOrs Fly
With HOOver's Return
To Man Out Program

Coineident with Herbert Hoover S
return to the Capital to prepare for
Inauguration, new flood of rumors
and reports became current TODAY
anent Cabinet selections.
One widely circulated report was
that a Cabinet post has been offered
to Charles Francis Adams, of Boston,
a great-great-grea of John
Adams, second President of the
United States.
Adams is 63 years old, treasurer OF
Harvard University, and an officer
in nearly half hundred New Eng.
land corporations. He is also an
amateur yachtsman OF note, which
fact probably is the reason rumor has
attached his name to the Secretary
ship of the Navy.
Another report is that Hoover has
made a definite offer of the Attorney
Generalship to Senator Borah (R.) of
Idaho, who "has not yet made up his
mind.
A companion report to this was
that Borah had definitely decided to
stay in the Senate and that the next
man on Mr.. Hoover's list for Attor-
ney Generalship Is Owen ], Roberts.
/ the Philadelphia lawyer, who was
one OF the Governments special
| prosecutors in the oil scandals.
At the President.elect's home in s
Street the customary silence was
smaintained concerning all Cabinet re-
ports.

PO|NCARE NJ A Y
RESIGN

PARIS, Feb. 90 n,N.S.l--Per.
sistent rumors that Premier Ray
mond Poincare might resign as the
result of untoward political develop
ments were circulated here today.
Premier Poincare was said to be
doublv disappointed over the meagre
six-vote majority Of the cabinet in
the Chamber of Deputies and the
feeling that the American reparation
experts have failed to grasp the
French viewpoint.
Reparation developments and the
cabinets narrow escape from a vote
of no confidence were linked in the
reports concerning the Premier.
The confidence vote, which took
place in the Chamber of Deputies
late yesterday, was based upon the
governments proposed judicial re-
forms. The vote was:, 291 for the
government; 285 against the gov.
ernment.
Poincare Fed Up
Premier Poincare was described
as being fed up with everything"
due to the continued difficulties he
has encountered both within and
without his official family.
The reparation negotiations ap-
pear to have struck a snag, all
though it is hoped that the difficulty
will be cleared away forthwith.
In American circles it was ad-
lnitted that tcertain technical diff.
culties" had been encountered. 1t
was stated in this connection that
the French delegates were piquei
because they believed the American
attitude toward Germany was too
sympathetic.
It was regarded as significant
that neither of the two American
observers nor the two alternates
was made a member of the subcom-
mittee appointed to determine future
procedure by the leparation experts.
Experts Meet
The experts held three.hour ses.
sion today. and listened to a report
from the so-called Stamp-Schacht
subcommittee. The experts failed
to adopt the subcommittee con-
clusions. but decided upon further
discussion later in the day.
Premier Poincare. who has dedi.
Gated the most of his public activi-
ties in the past 10 years to the task
of compelling Germany to pay
FRANCE in full for all war damages,
has been following the work of the
reparation experts closely.
His plan has been that Germany
should pay France and the other all
lied nations. the full amount that
they owe to the United States in

wants an additional sum for restora-
tion of war-damaged districts and
