litical party or other organization.

Meet With President to Deter.

With 0sbenturs Clause.


washington. April 1l.-(F1-A del.
esation Of five members Of the SEN
ate agriculture committee vas ap-
pointed today to confer with Presi-
dent Hoover later In the day in an
effort to obtain his views on specific
provisions Of the new farm relief
bill.
The delegation will be headed by
Chairman McNary and the other
members will be Senators Norbeck
Of South Dakota, and Capper Of
Kansas. Republicans. and Ransdell Of
Louisiana. and Heflin. Of Alabama.
Democrats.
One Of the main purposes Of the
visit is to seek the presidents views
on the export debenture plan advo.
Gated for q number Of years by the
national grange. A number Of menu
bers Of the senate committee desire to
incorporate this plan into the Nc
Nary bin which otherwise Is salts
factory to the entire committee.
Agree On New Dill
At the same time Chairman Hau-
gen Of the house agriculture COM
mittec announced that the five menu
berS Of the sub committee had
unanimously agreed upon . new farm
relief measure.
The new house measure will be
submitted to the full committee to-
morrow or Saturday. Chairman
Haugen said the sub.committee had
decided that the details Of the bill
should not be made public until the
measure had been submitted formal
ly to the whole committee.
The decision Of tho senators to re-
quest . conference with Mr.. Hoover
was reached at today's executive sea-
sion after I lengthy discussian q the
McNary bill which developed that
! general provisions Of that measure
were satisfactory to great majority
Of the committee. n A
Asks Debenture Protection
Senator CarawAy, Democrat, Ar
kansas, suggested. however, that the
bill would not be effective without
some specific provision for defrayine
the cost Of controlling crop surpluses
and suggested that the export deben-
ture plan be added to the McNary
bill In such way that the proposed
federal farm board could invoke II
whenever 1t saw fit.
A number OF administration sup
porters on the committee Immediate
~ took the position that the presi-
dent would veto farm bill with the
debenture plan in 1t and when some
other members contended that he
would not. the suggestion was made
to appoint . committee to confer q
the White House on. this and some
other minor details Of the bill.
For some time 1t has been evident
that there was q minority Of sentt.
meut on the committee for the ex'
port debenture plan. This propose
was brought forward by friends o1
the equalization fee in the old NC
Nary -Haugcn bill who have felt tha1
q measure without specific means q
assessing the cost Of controlling croI
surpluses would not provide permA'
nent relief for the agricultural sttua'
