 Washington, June IF N-To the house apparently is left the task Of untangling the legislative snarl which President Hoover's special session of congress has created over the question of farm relief.
 Haunting the view of the presi- dent against the export debentuFe plan, which he characterized as . subsidy, the senate has insisted on inserting that provision into the pending measure, even over the em- phatic opposition of the house ad- ministration leaders.
 Never Had Roll Call
 Some of the senate opposition to elimination of the debenture plan was based on the ground that the house had never had . roll call vote on the proposition and last night at a White House conference an agreement was reached to have that branch of congress formally record itself, perhaps tomorrow.
 To that extent at least. the coali- tion of democrats and republican in- dependents in the senate who have steadfastly insisted upon inclusion ot this proposal in the bill, stood vic. torious today over the opposition Of Mr. Hoover.
 The action of the senate in sus taining the debenture plan resulted in quick and vigorous retaliation from the White House. No less eni- phatic than in his previous declara- tions, the president asserted the vote adds further delay to farm relief and may gravely jeopardize" the en- actment of the legislation.
 Await House Vote
 Friends of the bill are now await ing the house vote in the hope that the action of that body will clarify the atmosphere and allow the pro- gram outlined by MT. Hoover in call ing the special session to. so forward.
 The agreement to bring the issue to a vote in the house. where such action has been resisted throughout the long controversy that has held up enactment Of the farm legista- ton, was reached at a White House conference last night after the sen- ate had rejected the joint conference report recommending elimination of the debenture section from its bill
 Called By President
 The White House meeting, attend ed by republican leaders of both branches of congress, was called after the president had made public statement reiterating his opposi- ton to the debenture plan and cx- pressing in unmistakable terms hie support of the compromise bill pre- scented in the joint conference report and accepted by the house.
 Senate democratic leaders today regarded the decision to bring the debenture plan to vote in the house virtually as a complete victory for their contention. Senator Robinson of Arkansas the democratic leader. asserted in a statement issued after the senate rejected the; report. that If the house takes a vote and re- jects the debenture plan. it's advo- cates in the senate will be con- strained to yie,d. and the bill will Ike parsed with debenturcs eliminated.
 The senate vote on rejection Of the report was 4s to 43. as compared with 1T to ~ at the time the pl'n was written into the bill after Presi- dent Hoover lad outlined his op- position to it on ten counts. The. statement issued by the president after the vote yesterday made his position even more emphatic. It said:
 Adts Further Delay
 "'rhe vote in the senate today at best adds further delay to farm re- lief and may gravely jeopardize th. enactment of legislation. In reject ing the report of the senate ani house conferees. which report was agreed to by members of both parties. the, serate has ir effect re- iected bill which provides for :he creation of the most important agency ever set up in the Kovern- ment to assist an industry-the pro- posed federal farm board. endowed with extraordinary authority to re- organize tho marketing system in the interest Of the farmer: to sta bilize his industry and to carry out these arrangements in conjunction with farm cooperatives. with a capi- tai Of five hundred million dollars as an earnest of the seriousness of the work. It is pronosel for steady upbuilding of agriculture onto firn, foundations of equality with other industry and would remove the azri- cultural problem from politics and place it in the realm of business.
 'The conferees' bill carried out the plan advanced in the campaign in every particular. Every other plan Of agricultural relief was rejected in that campaign and this plan WAS
