Mr.. AND MRS. HOOVER
ENJOY TALKING FILM
President and Party Hear and See
His Inauguration at
White House.

Talking motion pictures were shown
at the White House for the first time
last night, and judging from the en-
thuSiaStic manner in which they were
received by President and Mrs. Hoover
and the small group of friends they
had as guests, they viii be shown regu-
larly from now Oh.
The special equipment necessary to
show this form of motion pictures was
selected for the White House by the
motion picture industry and is said TO
have cost more than $4,000. The APP
paratus and screen. with electric con-
neCtions, havefbeen installed in the long
hallway on the second floor, which Is
said to be a far more satisfactory place
for the showing of pictures than in the
east room, on the first floor. where
movies have been shown heretofore.
The entertainment provided last night
consisted principally of news reels with
sound features. These included Presi-
dent Hoover'S inaugural ceremonies and
his recent speech at the annual lunch
con of the Associated Press in New
York. The program concluded with an
advance showing OF a feature picture.
To enjoy this first showing of the
talkies in the White House the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hoover had with them
Mrs. Kellogg, who have just returned
from Europe and were house guests
last night: Mr.. and Mrs. jeremiah Mil
bank of New York, who were hosts to
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover several times on
their houSeboat last Winter while the
latter were in Florida: Mr.. and Mrs.
Stanley Brown, the latter q daughter
of the late President Garfield, and w. S.
Phillips. American Minister to Canada.

pect the House to eliminate the export
debenture plan from the farm bill in
conference, and House leaders look for
little difficulty in this connection, as
even some of those Senate Republicans
who voted for the debenture are con-
WINGED that President Hoover would re-
turn the agriculture measure without
his approval If submitted to him in its
present form.
Even If the House eliminates the de-
benture. that plan of farm relief is ex-
pected to bob up again when the Senate
takes up the tariff. Some of its sup
porters in this body hold that it rightly
belongs on the revenue measure, since
1t deals with transactions at the customs
houses.

ROUGH GOING FAILS
TO DAUNT HOOVER
Legislative Situation Com
pick, With Some Defeats,
but Final Success Seen.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press
| President Hoover's legislative pro-
gram has had rather rough going in
the preliminary stages of its develop
ment on Capitol Hill. but administra-
ton officers assert they are far from
| discouraged by the present outlook
AS the situation now stands, 1t would
appear that the Chief Executive must
turn to the House for the undoing of
Senate action in approving the export
debenture proposal as a measure of
farm relief, and that he must look to
the Senate for support of his idea Of a
limited" tariff revision.
This condition is not at all unusual,
but it has attracted more than ordinary
notice. Two factors enter into this, the
first that the actions of the Senate and
of the House tariff committee followed
so closely upon one another and the
second that they furnished first baro-
metric indications as to the state of the
atmosphere between the Capitol and
the White House.
HOovers Views Known.
While the President has refrained
from any public statement regarding
the tariff bill, he has let some CT his
friends know that he has quite differ
ent ideas as to what constitutes a lin
tied" revision of the Fordney- McCum-
Der act
There also is gossip in some official
circles that number CT the revisionS
proposed by the ways and means COM
mittee Republicans fail to find favor
with him. just as they do in some con-
greSSional circles, Republican as well as
Democratic.
Since the Republican leadership in
the House is fairly well committed to
the committee measure, administration
officials expect comparatively few broad
changes in that chamber. They also
appreciate that the majority leaders. in
attempting any general rewriting, might
find themselves facing situation i'll
the House that easily could get beyond
their control.
Pending final House action. Senate
leaders are unprepared to predict their
course on the tariff measure. but some
Of them, including the majority floor
director, Watson Of Indiana, voice re-
gret that the House committee brought
out substitute for the present law that
throws the whole tariff question open
to debate and action.
May Be Long Session.
Unless the Senate finance committee
rewriteS the House measure and reports
merely an amendment to the existing
law, as President Hoover expected would
be done by the House committee, some
leaders in the Senate foresee a session
running well into october, if not into
November
