LEADERS SEE WAY
TO REAL|GNMENT
Plan to Avoid Record Vote
Through Motion to Strike
Out Amendment.

House leaders believed today that
they had found way to pass the
census-r s-reapportionment bill without
record vote on either the alien-eXclu-
sion or disenfranchisement amend
ments.
1t was admitted openly that If a
record vote Is forced. the Tinkham
amendment, which provides that the
citizens enumerated in the census. but
disenfranchised at the polls shall not
be counted in the ALLEGATION of seats in
the House among the several States,
thereby seriously reducing the repre-
sentation from Southern States will be
passed.
The alien-eXclusion amendment like
wise would effect the Eastern and In
dustrial States.
The House leaders plan TO avoid the
record vote through a motion to strike
out of the bill all of the section relating
to reapportionment. which includes both
of these amendments. and then to sub
Stitute other language with the alien
and Observation-Disclosures provisions omit
ted
1t was the hope of the leaders TO get
early action on this proposal today.
When the bill came up for action
Representative Reed of New York, was
heard first on his objection to the pro-
posed amendment authorizing the State
of New York to make its own reap
portionment.

Transfer of Many Smaller Units
Involved in Hoover
Plan.

President Hoover today sent a mes
sage.to Congress recommending the ap-
pointment of a joint select committee to
make study of the question of re-
organization and concentration of re-
sponsibility in the administration of the
several Federal bureaus now charged
with the prohibition enforcement.
In making this recommendation the
President stated that he would appoint
a committee from the departments to
cooperate with the congressional COM
mittee and said that the recently Gre
ated National Commission on Law OBJ
servance and Enforcement will also CO.
operate.
President Hoover frequently In the
past has urged the concentration of the
responsibility in the administration of
the fundamental activities engaged ain
prohibition enforcement, but he now
makes II plain that the subject is so
involved and the question embraces
numerous laws and regulations in the
dlfferent departments an extensive
consideration is required He is eager
to bring about the utmost expedition in
the reorganization and concentration of
TINS governmental activity but to effect
the improvement which he claims is so
greatly needed he wants the matter
thoroughly studied.
Text of Message.
The Presidents message follows in
full:
To the Congress OF the United States:
In order to secure the utmost expe-
dltlon in the reorganizat ton and con-
centration in administration of the Fed
eral bureaus connected with prohibition
enforcement, so greatly needed to i'm
prove their effectiveness, I recommend
that the Congress appoint joint Sc
lect committee to make an immediate
study of these matters and to formulate
recommendation for consideration at
the next regular session.
Il shall be glad to appoint a COM
mittee fran the departments to CO.
operate with such a committee of the
Congress. The National Commission on
Law Observance and Enforcement will
also cooperate through their studies of
the departmental organization.
The subject involves the transfer of
parts of various bureaus and agencies
from certain departments TO others and
it includes as well the necessity for the
border patrols, both in connection with
prohibition and illegal entry of aliens.
AS the question embraces numerous
laws and regulations in several bureaus,
it will require extensive consideration,
which If given jointly by such commit
tees of the Congress and the depart
ments prior to the regular session will
save many months of delay

TO ERECT

Eighteenth Century Chateau
Will Face Meridian Park.
Plans Being Drawn.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

France, which supplied the genius of
Maj. L'Enfant to the creation of the
American Capital century and a half
ago, plans to build a S1,000,000 embassy
here as its contribution to the Wash
ington magnihcent-the metropolis of
architectural splendor which will have
its inception on June 10, when President
Hoover lays the corner stone of the
mammoth new Department of Com
merce. The building will be erected on
Sixteenth street, hundred yards away
from the present French embassy. 1t
will cover the entire plot of ground on
Euclid street, between Fifteenth and
Sixteenth, the side elevation Ranking
the northern boundary of Meridian Park
at the highest point in Washington.
The Paris government contemplates a
structure in every respect worthy of
French artistry. Its design will partake
of the eighteenth century classic style.
A distinguished Franco American archi-
tect, Paul Philippe Cret of Philadelphia,
has drawn the plans. Mr.. Cret already
has one monument to his skill in WASH
ington, as he was the principal designer

A native of Lyons, Mr. Cret (pro-
nounced Cray has been professor of
design at the University of Pennsyl-
vanIa since 1908. Since then he has
won conspicuous architectural distinc-
tions in France. His famous works in
the United States include the Valley
Forge Memorial Arch in Rittenhouse
Square, Philadelphia; the Indianapolis
Public Library, the Detroit Institute of
Arts and Pennsylvania war memorials.
Mr.. Cret is actively identified with Gen.
Pershing in the work of erecting Ameri-
can monuments on French battledelds.
M. Paul Claudel, the scholarly French

S5OO,ODO,OOO FARM
LOAN FUND URGED
Leaders Believe Hoover Will
Have to Recommend Imme-
diate Appropriation.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The language of the revised farm bill,
which became available today, led some
farm leaders to believe that President
Hoover would have to recommend i'm
mediately the appropriation of $780,
100000 to stabilize agriculture.
The section pertaining to the authori-
cation of the revolving fund read as
follows:
There is hereby authorized to be
appropriated the sum of $500,000, 900
which shall be made available by the
Congress as soon as practicable after
the approval of this act. and shall con-
stitute revolving fund to be admin
istered by the board as provided in this
act"
Sterilization Function Outlined.
Another aspect of the farm bill as
reported by the conference committee
to the function of a stabuization cor
poration. This section reads as follows:
ANY stabilization corporation for an
agricultural commodity % may act as
a marketing agency for its stockholders
or members in preparing, handling,
storing, processing and merchandising
for their account any quantity OF the
agricultural commodity or its food prod
ucts, and 90 for the purpose of con-
trolling any surplus in the commodity
may prepare, purchase, handle,
store, process and merchandise other
wise than for the account of its stock
holders or members, any quantity of
the agricultural commodity or its food
products, whether or not such COM
modify or products are acquired from its
stockholders or members"
The measure specifically provides
that farmers holding stock in Stabiliza-
ton corporations shall not be subject
to assessment for any losses incurred in
surplus control operations of the ccr-
poration''
Debenture Plan Eliminated.
A farm relief bill made acceptable to
President Hoover by the elimination OF
the export debenture plan was agreed
upon by the farm relief conference
committee yesterday and both Senate
and House will be asked promptly to
approve it.
bill can be sent to the White House be-
fore Saturday, but conflicting weekend
plans of members may delay final con-
greSSional action until next week.
Approval of the bill reported by the
conference is expected to be given prac-
tically without debate by the House
which must act first. Disappointment
of the debenture extremists in the
Senate, however. promises to occasion
some spirited debate before a vote on
the conference report can be reached
in that branch.
Only two members of the conference
committee, Senators Norris. Republican
of Nebraska. and Smith. Democrat, of
South Carolina, voted against the mo-
tion to eliminate the debenture section
These members, who demanded report
of disagreement on debentureS so the
House would be required to vote, will
join the group asking rejection of the
conference report, but administration
leaders are convinced they have Suffl-
cient votes to defeat such move.

Negotiations between Belgium and Ger
many on the German marks question,
which for time threatened full agree

The basis of the discussions will be

With account taken of the 10 years

by Belgium, Belgian opinion does not
consider the suggested arrangement a
fair deal Thus the Belgian negotistors
