AMENDMENTS SLOW
farm relief BILL
Congress Unlikely to Take Final
Action Until Next Week

Washington. May 2 R-The mass
of amendments offered to the farm
relief bill in the senate has forced
administration leaders to conclude
that final action on the measure will
have to be postponed until next
week.
Senator McNary Of Oregon. chair
man of the agriculture committee,
is hopeful that the senate will vote
on the export debenture section to-
morrow. but even this seems impos-
sible in view OF the large number OF
senator's who have indicated desire
to discuss the proposal
A Saturday session may be called
to get the export debenture contest
out of the way before the end of the
week. and il this aim is successful,
the measure as a whole is likely to
reach vote Monday or Tuesday.
Although the amendment of Sena
tor Watson of Indiana. the republic
can leader, to eliminate the deben-
ture plan has caused the greatest
discussion. considerable debate is eX-
pccted also upon number Of the
dozen or so changes advocated by
other senator's. Some of these may
be accepted or rejected without
argument, however.
After the debenture plan has been
disposed of, the senate will be asked
by Chairman McNary to comply with
Il request of fruit and vegetable as
sociations that their products be
excluded from operation of the farm

bill. They asked and obtained SIM

she lost her patience and sent up
4 plea that was almost a demand.
''She insists she's got to see You,
SIR" the page who carried her mes
sage said to the worn looking man
who had hurried across the ocean
to bury his only son.
Mr.. Judson's eyebrows drew to-
gether In a fornidding scowl. He
considered Mildred's request to see
him the height of brazenness. His
mind was filled with the picture of
all that had remained Of his boy
when they opened the coffin and
allowed him to view the poor bro
ken body. What could this girl
want but to promote some selfish
scheme?
He sent word down to her that
he would not see her now or ever.
A few questions put to Pamela
had convinced him that Mildred
was a heartless fortune hunter. He
had no doubt she wanted to urge
some money claim upon him. He
knew what wealthy men had TO deal
with. Probably Harold had prom
ised this girl to marry her.
Mildred was in despair. She
could guess the truth. She knew
that Pamela must have lied about
her to bring about her discharge
from the hotel in the first place.
Very likely she had added to her
story since her fathers return.
Stephen noted her depression
when she went to see him after
staying away for several days.
Whats wrons?" he asked sharp
ly. fearful that she had drawn the
wrath of his enamies upon her head.
Have you written to your faith
err" she countered.
Stephen said he had. And I'm
glad you came in," he added, be
cause I've taken a liberty with you
by giving dad your address.
Then yau haven't told them"
Stephen hung his head. II
couldn't" he confessed. you've
given me hope. Mildred" he went
on, Frightening. L want to get
out Of this before l let them know
"Oh, you will" Mildred cried
fervently.

phen exclaimed. i've got young
lawyer who didn't demand a fee
that would choke a horse. :"
Does he know anything?"
Hes having Huck Conner inves-
tigated." Stephen told her and there
was a ring Of satisfaction in his
voice that lifted all but a faint
shadow OF Mildred's depression.

Mildred leaned back and looked
at him with 4 doubt growing in her
mind that caused her to draw her
hands away from him.
Aren't you going to do anything
about what I've told you?" she

He hated to have her think he
didn't appreciate all she had done
for him.

said, striving to subdue the catch
in her voice. You don't want to
drag Pamela's name into it."
Stephen started and opened his
mouth to speak: then closed 1t to u
firm hard line. He could not tell
her that it was her own safety he
was thinking of. She was too fear

was protecting osr,ela than let her
risk her life.

Mildred jerked herself away from

that Huck hated you because he

Stephen groaned, but Mildred
was adamant. She left him without
giving the promise he had tried to
exact. e.+
She'd have gone straight to the
police but she knew that her word
alone would not free Stephen.
But I'll see Mr.. Judson," she de-
clared to herself emphatically.
Surely he won't let Pamela stand
in the way OF bringing Huck TO JUS
tice."
Thereafter she telephoned the
hotel twice daily until she learned
when Mr.. Judson was expected to
land in New York.
She could not leave her work to
be at the pier when his boat locked
but she went without her lunch
that noon to 70 to the hotel and
ask to see him. There was 4 long
