Washington, Jan. o.-(Ap)-Presl-
dent ELECT Hoover called at the White
House today for = second general dis
cussion with President Coolidge Of the
various problems facing the present
and next administrations.
Mr.. Hoover has spent two days
developing the views Of congressional
leaders q to an extra session Of con-
gress for farm relief and other sub
jects and It was assumed that these
matters formed the chief basis Of his
conversation with the chief executive.
Before going to the White House
the next president had Z long con-
ference with Senator Brookhart Of
Iowa, q Republican Independent. who
was one Of his chief campaigners In
the corn belt and who favors the
calling Of an extra session early in the
spring.
! Senator Brookhart expressed his
opinion that even II the McNary farm
relief bill should be passed ct this
session Of congress, . special session
still would be necessary. He contend
ed that all the proposals contained
In the McNary bill are provided for
In existing legislation and he termed
the McNary measure deficient In
that 1t provided only q fund Of $780,
100000 to stabilize an industry
amounting TO $4,000 900 900.
Drookhsrt BACKS Borah
Senator Brookhart. who had first
place on the engagement list was
armed with arguments to buttress the
views already presented by Senator
Borah Of Idaho and some prominent
house members In favor Of the con-
vening OF the new congress in the
early spring.
In addition Z committee Of four
had been selected by so Of the 81
yl9e the penusylvania delega-
Hon In the house to present = formal
resolution urging q special session q
soon Is practicable.
Pennsy1vania was one Of the first
Of the states sending uninstructed
delegations to the Kansas City con-
vention to declare for the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Hoover. Consequently Il
Is to be expected that the action Of its
congressional delegation win carry
considerable weight with the presi-
dent-elect.
Mr.. Hoover also will give careful
confederation to the recommendation
Of Senators Brookhart and Borah
who not only stood In the front ranks
Of his campaign staff group but also
have given their endorsement to the
fundamentals Of the agricultural pro-
gram which he outlined and present.
ed his cause to the voters Of the
country.

auguration has been definitely fixed,
the usual avalanche Of requests for

The chamber Of commerce Of palo
Alto, California. the home city Of the
president-elect. has asked for q block

ready has arranged for Z special train
to transport Palo Alto leading citizens

Another request for siSeable num-
Der Of seats has come from the Bri-
fish government through the en-
bassy here for the use Of q detach-
