WATSON FACES
SECOND FARM
BILL DEFEAT
Senate Expected to Send
Measure to Conference
Again by Vote.
PN Times SpecinI

BN Times Special
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
James E. Watson of Indiana, senate
majority leader, today attacked the
debenture plan of farm relief in de-
fense Of the legislative program Of
President Herbert Hoover.
He assailed the stand of Senator
William Borah Of Idaho, who Mon
day spoke in favor of debenture.
Watson was fighting last-ditch
battle. as it generally is anticipated
the farm bill will esent back to
conference with a demand that the
house be allowed to vote upon the
debenture feature when a vote is
taken late today.
Second Defeat Faced
If defeated, it will be Watson's
second major defeat, as he led ad-
ministration forces against the deb
enture when the plan first was voted
into the bill.
Senator Arthur Robinson of Ind1-
ana will not be present to vote. AS
he still is en- route from Los Angeles
where he has been attending a
Shrine convention
Robinson is paired against deben-
ture, however, with Senator Ste
phens of Mississippi
Watson pointed out that the Re-
publican platform had made no ref
erence to the debenture, nor did
President Hoover'S speeches. And
cited Hoover's letter containing ten
points of opposition to the deben-
ture, filed with the senate when the
fight began.
A few hours before the senate vote
on the debentureless farm bill, with
the atmosphere tense and the out
come in doubt, President Hoover
moved today to help his senate
leaders.
Hoover Calls Senators
The President called to the White
House Senators Nye and Frazier,
North Dakota debenture advocates,
and Senator Couzens of Michigan,
who is opposed to the debenture
but thoroughly aroused by the re-
fusal of the house to vote on the
plan.
They are the three which the SEN
ate leaders have been trying to con-
vert or hold in line
The President met with no more
success than his leaders. Frazier
came out first with a prediction that
the senate would send the farm bill
back to conference with the house,
labeled with a demand for a house
vote on debenture.
Nye was sent with a statement
that he intended to vote against the
farm bill minus the debenture.
Couzens went to lunch and made
no statement.

Read of Auto Crash
Mr.. and Mrs. Riley had ceased in
tensive search for Margaret when,
last Friday the first startling gleam
of hope came. An uncle Of the girl
in Anderson read in an Anderson
paper of the automobile accident.
Margaret had been on her way to
work at the Delco-Re]ny plant at
Anderson with Orin Schuyler Of
McCordsviIIe, the man to whom she
was to have been married Saturday.
Another car dashed out of a side
road and crashed into Schuylers
car.
The parents rushed to Anderson
and in the still, white form on the
hospital bed recognized the little
girl of 8, they had lost, grown into
attractive young womanhood.

Then began grief all over for the

could not live. AS late as Monday
afternoon Mrs. Riley was steeling
herself as best she could for the
news of her death at any moment.
But today the word from DR.. Hunt

stored to her youth and health and
beauty stirred long forgotten hopes
and dreams for the mother. For

DETROIT, July 11.-With the
first half of 1929 breaking all pro-
duction records, the automotive in
dustry this week looked with con-
f1dence to a year which probably
will establish production schedules
which can not be exceeded for
another two or three years. The
first six months output of 100000
units equaled the first eight months
production in 1925.
After an expected midsummer
slump, retail sales Unexpectedly
Jumped in the last week of June,
according to automobile topics
magazines and the sales OF used
cars also increased.
But While manufacturers are
counting greater profits than ever,
dealers problems rapidly are ap-
preaching a critical situation.

report of one dealer and general
dealer opinion is that interest and

NEW YORK. July 11.-Futher re-
lief in the already improved credit
strain is clearly forecast. not only
bv the views of bankers who regard
the mid-year strain as over, but also
by the treasury departments decision
to purchase S75,000,000 in govern
ment bonds. It is quite illogical to
suppose the government would re-
enter the bond market unless easier
money was clearly foreshadoWed.
Although some authorities antici-
pate moderate recession in the
loans statement today, even should
they advance We would not be in
clined to take them too seriously.
There can be no doubt that invest
ment trusts have been materially
adding to their holdings. This is
clearly revealed in the listing ap-
plication Of the United Corporation,
showing substantial additions to
stockholdings. Bearing in mind that
the foremost bankers of the world
guide the policies of this company,
we can not see any reason for in
vestors to do otherwise than main
