HOOVER'S PROGRAM
 BUSHES CONGRESS-
House Tackles Tariff Revision;
 Senate, Reapportionment

Washington. May 29 R,-For the first time since the special session began. congress found itself today actively engaged on most of the limited legislative program recom- .mended by President Hoover.
 Both chambers were concerned in the effort of their farm bill confer ence committee. beginning today. 10 work out the problems presented in the export debenture issue and other differences between the farm re- lief measures they have passd.
 Tariff rvision continued to be the task before the house. Provision. in a single measure, for both the 1880 census and for reapportionment of the house membership on the basis of it's returns was the unfinished business" of the senate.
 The farm bill conferees had a lengthy contest with possible dead lock in prospect over the debenture issue, and the tariff bill already had fallen behind the usual time sched- ule for such measures in the house, but republican leaders in both chambers were counting on being ready for a summer recess in about 10 days.
 Although three of tho five senate farm bill conferees voted against incorporation of the debenture pro- posal in the bill passed by their chamber over the vigorous opposi-

ton of President Hoover, Chairman McNary feels that they are bound to uphold it in the negotiations with the house group. The latter, on the other hand. comprises five members of the agriculture committee who rot only feel bound 10 uphold their chambers position but voted against the proposal in committee on the only formal ballot taken on it by any section of the house member ship.
 Senate Likely to Hedge
 Under the circumstances. re- consideration of the debenturc plan by the senate seems assured, and administration leaders are confident that it will be eliminated from the farm bill Some of it's supporters are understood to be ready to shift their votes, and only a few recruits from the majority of 47 that put the plan into the bill would enable the administration group 10 take it out.
 The viewpoint of those who are counted on to vote for elimination is that they want to see farm re- lief legislation expedited. and some of them would prefer to have the debenture issue tied up with the tariff bill, where they believe it can command stronger support. The likelihood of direct house vote on the plan, desired by some leaders in favor of the debenture. is regard ed as remote, as far as the farm bill is concerned.
 The possible effects of injecting the debenture issue into the tariff revision program are being consid. cred by number of congressional leaders. President Hoover not only opposes the debenture plan, the, observe. but is also understood tt look with disfavor upon some o the proposals in the house tarih bill, which goes considerably be-

 Before the defects have been ex- amined, can only observe generally that some hitherto unknown factor must have entered in the case of the Detors which caused the disturb ances.

 '"The question has been raised whether the motor defect was due to wear and tear (Dr. Eckener used the German word for 'fatigue). This question is advanced in view of the feet that the motors already had five or nix hundred hours service behind them. Let me point out. however that after the last Mediterranean cruise, two of the motors were min- utsly examined for this very pur' poee, but neither showed the slight ct 3gn of wear and tear.
 However, all this must necessari- ly guess work until the broken parts are thoroughly examined"

 House leaders expect to dispose of the tariff bill next week, and it's republican sponsors have predicted that few changes will be made in the scedules proposed by the ways and means committee. The general debate is to continue through to- morrow, after which the majority leaders expect to be in position to bring their party members into |agreementon a special rule fixing a time for a vote and limiting the of fering of amendments largely to those approved by the committee.
 The republican members of the committee completed the hearing of appeals from dissatisfied colleagues for additional rate advances last week and set aside today and tomor- row to decide which of these they will recommend as committed amendments. It was that dissatis- faction with the proposed scheduled in the republican ranks which pre- vented an agreement on a special rule last week. and the committee mems efforts are believed to have eliminated this difficulty.
