STARTS GATH YEAR IN PUBLIC OFFICE
E. 0. Aldrich Of CutingsViue,
 Vt., Has Unique Record

Cuttingsville, Vt, April IT R- Few men have held elective public office as long as E. o. Aldrich, town clerk, treasurer and tax collector of Cuttingsville.
 MT. Aldrich is beginning his 9th consecutive term in public office.
 Before being elected to the offices he now holds he occupied several lesser town posts. His reelection this year is the 56th successive time the voters of Cuttingsvile have named him to his combined duties as town clerk, treasurer and tax col lector.
 For novices in political life who have only held office for 20 or 30 years. MT. Aldrich has words of en- Couragement
 "Only the first 60 years of public office are hard. After that one gets the hang Of things and finds his way about easier.
 Mir. Aldrich was born November IS, 1S43. The date of his birth al ways has been a matter of regret to him, however. For. he explains. if he had been born five days earlier he might have cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln.
 His father had served the town i'll various offices and frequently had called on MT. Aldrich, as a yout h. to assist him in minor ways. As he grew to manhood he was inn pressed more and more with the i'm portance of public office, however small.
 MT. Aldrich's only absences from office have occurred when his town and county sent him on special mis- sions to the legislature as represen- tative, III 1884 and, as senator. in 1900.
 This year. for the first time. he missed town meeting. To his dis appointment. illness kept him away when the other voters assembled at this ancient, democratic New Eng land gathering, to discuss and ar range town affairs for another year. But they reelected MT. Aldrich as usual.

CONGRESS- FACING
 FARM RELIEF FIGHT
Debtnture Plan Advocates Pre-.
 pairing to Insist on Proposal

Washington. April IT R1The progress made so far with farm re- lief legislation has demonstrated that congress cannot sidestep the export debenture proposal and that the special session will encounter a controversy on this issue which will be at least reminder of that waged over the equalization fee in former years.
 Whether this trouble will see the White House again ranged against congress is still far from apparent, but leaders are convinced that con gress itself is in for a difficult time before the question is settled.
 Some hold the opinion that the controversy will go no farther than to bring round of disagreement within the senate but others are in- clined to think that the debenture plan may bring the house and senate into conflict with the ultimate out come one for time to show.
 Even if the senate agriculture committee should decide to indorse the debenture plan. which is now held by leaders to be unlikely, the proponents of the system have de- cided to continue their efforts on the senate floor. The fact that Chair man McNary of the committee, has expressed "a feeling that majority of the committee favors the deben- ture plan" has caused administration leaders to abandon hope for exclud-

ing the proposal unless specific committee by Secretary Hyde or some other administration authority.
 As outlined in informal discussion of senate and house leaders. the fight over the debenture plan may develop in much the same situation as that which prevailed when the equalization fee was before congress during the Coolidge administration. At that time both senate and house fought out their own problem with out definite word from the White House. Many members now are speculating as to whether the deben- ture discussion will be permitted to proceed without word from MT Hoover. in view of his desire not to interfere in what he conceives to be strictly congressional functions.
 The point being emphasized by the proponents of the debenture plan is that the section providing for it in the bill drafted by the senate committee. would merely authorize the proposed farm board to apply it, at it's own discretion. Opponents contend that enactment Of the plan would be class legislation and there fore unconstitutional.
 The exact division of sentiment within the senate committee has not been disclosed except that Senators Norris. republican, Nebraska, and Carawav. democrat. Arkansas. ini- tiated and haze pursued the attempt 10 write debentures into the farm bill.
