FARM FIGHT DAMS
LEGISLATIVE FLOOD
Host Of Moves Put Before
Senate Face Doubtful Fu-
ture on Program.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Immigration, prohibition. flood relief
and the host of other proposals pushed
before the Senate in the early days Of
The extra session have settled behind
the administrators restricted program
now underway and face a doubtful flu
ture.
Farm relief, which reached the
amendment stage in the House today,
mas first place ON the administration
program in the Senate. How long this
oebate Will run is problematical. After
II ENDS, the administration bills for the
1880 census and reapportionment of the
House Will be awaiting next attention.
Hoover Supporters Defeated.
Defeated in their first test, President
Hoover's supporters in opposition to the
national origins provision of the immi-
grafton law, were looking ahead today
to the conclusion of the farm debate
before renewing in earnest their battle
FOR repeal.
The Senate immigration committee
yesterday voted 4 to 2 to postpone in
definitely the bills for repeal A motion
Is pending in the Senate to discharge
the committee and get the bills before
the Senate, but little hope was held for
a roll call on this move until the farm
fight is over.
Meanwhile, the threats of debate in
the Senate over the credit situation, in
volving the Federal Reserve Boards
efforts to curb loans for speculation in
Wall Street, have failed to materialize
Bills and resolutions for Investigations
are in some of the senatorial desks, but
they have been withheld pending de-
velopments.
Wall Street Under Senate Fire.
Unlike the House debaters on this
subject, who want to investigate the
reserve boards warnings against in
creased brokers' loans, the Senate has
some members, who want to investigate
Wall Street. In the Senate the only ex-
pressed complaint, so far, against the
reserve board is that it didn't issue
its warning sooner.
Senator King. Democrat of Utah. who
has prepared a resolution to investigate
the credit situation. is withholding this
move to see how things develop. He is
one of those who believe excessive cred
its have been made available to specu-
lators and that the Federal Reserve
Board should have acted sooner.
Senator Reed, Republican, of Penn
sylvania, who usually looks at things
from about the same viewpoint as Sec
rotary Mellon, close friend. has de-
clared against an investigation. be-
lieving 1t would be harmful to credit
conditions.
House Sticks to Farm and Tariff.
President Hoover included the pro-
posals for suspension of the national
origins provision on his restricted pro-
gram for the session, but even with this
support the way for such action appears
cloudy. Many Republicans, including
Senator Reed. are fighting repeal and
the Democrats also are divided on the
question.
With the House showing no intention
of relenting from its plan to organize
only the few committees necessary to
initiate the farm relief and tariff leg
islation, Senate leaders have not called
any committee meetings there for con-
sideration OF the numerous PROPOSE
lions introduced.

cepted as regards poison gas and as for
long-range guns he intended later to
propose their prohibition also. He agreed
that the Kellogg pact was the most inn
portant event which has yet occurred
in the field of disarmament, but said
that If this was invoked they must do
away with ornaments entirely.
Hugh r. Wilson, United tSates Min
lister to Switzerland, interviewed at this
point. He refused to say that the time
might not come when they should take
up the problem of the use of aviation
against civil populations, or even the
possibility Of exclusion of aviation al
together from war, but he did not be-
lieve that the time had come for the
preparatory commission to attack the
problem. He voted against the proposal

Briefs in support of the 1O-cent
carfare were submitted 10 the Public
Utilities Commission yesterday by
the Capital Traction Co, the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Co,
and the Washington Interurban
Railroad Co.
All companies contend that evil
dence introduced at the public hear
ings on the carfare case has made
out their claim that they are en-
titled to financial relief.
The brief of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Co. pointed out
that in a number of cases courts
have approved returns as high as
Z and s per cent for public utility
corporations, both substantially
higher than the rates contended for
by the petitioners.
Both companies say that any in
