NEW YORK, January 31.-Although
there is but a small profit in the trans
action, American banking houses are
expected to continue their purchases Of
gold In the English market and to bring
the metal to New York as an exchange
transaction. where it helps to ease the
present strained money situation.
Since last August about. $4,000, 600
has been taken away from the juris-
diction of the Bank of England by New
York bankers and the bank has lost to
all markets $125.000 900 in the past five
months. This creates serious stu
alton In England. and is believed to be
the basis of the visit here of Montague
Norman, the governor of the English
bank.
In order to protect their gold Eng
lish bankers must raise their rates of
discount, which they axe not inclined to
do on account of the effect of higher
money on the depressed British indus
trial situation. As TINS goes on there
appears to be less prospect Of an ad-
vance in the Federal reserve discount

OPPOSITION TO
FIGHT HOOVER
Origins Clause And Tariff
Revision Limitation
Are Issues

WASHINGTON, April 22.-(P)-
Farm relief claimed predominating
attention on both sides of the capt.
tol today as congress entered the
second week Of its special session.
Not only had President Hoover's
declaration against the export de-
benture plan focused interest on this
subject, but the houses had reached
the last day of its general debate
on a farm relief bill which meets
his views and the senate was at the
beginning of q discussion of its
measure.
AS the principal piece of legis-
lation recommended by President
Hoover, both chambers are giving
farm relief right-of-way. The house
plans to pass its bill Wednesday CT
Thursday, but the senate operating
under rules which do not permit
such limitations on discussion. is ex-
pected to require several weeks for
consideration of the proposal.
Although the presidents declara-
ton is coutned on to prevent adop-
ton of the debenture provision by
the senate and thereby ~forestall a
serious disagreement between the
chambrS on this issue, the first week
of the session has clearly pointed
to difficulties in prospect yer other
proposals on the administration pro.
gram.
The disagreements appear to be
brewing most actively within the re-
publican fold in the senate. Senator
Reed, republican, Pennsylvania,
leader in the regular republican
ranks, is prepared to lead a fight
against the executives proposal for
repeal of the national origins clause
of the immigration act and also
against the sharp limitation he de-
sireS on tariff revisionS.
Republican members of the house
ways and means committee, mean
while are rounding out their draft
of the tariff revision bill in closed
sessions and expect to have the
measure ready for consideration by
the house as soon as it diSposes Of
the farm bill.

Man In Pulpit

CAMERON, Texas, Apri l22.-LR
Heresy charges on which the Cen
trail Texas Presbytery expelled the
Rev. H. B. Kenney from the pas
torate Of the Cameron Presbyterian
church will be detailed to the GUS
ted minister's congregation late to-
day.
The deliberations which ended in
decision to discharge the pastor rec
commended for his post by John w.

church.
The Rev. DR.. Red was unable to
obtain volunteers from the congre-

yesterday after the regular must
clans failed to appear. After an

lieved of his assignment and would
be disqualified from any similar one
in the central Texas district, DR..
Red preached a sermon around the
text:
II, therefore, the prisoner Of the
Lord, beseech you that We walk
worthy of the vocation wherein ye
are called"
The Rev. Kenney made no state
ment beyond the announcement he
would not resume his post here. This
was believed to have been an indi-
