Staples, who was a prominent

be killed if he talked.

the facts gathered by mem

F ARM AID
NEW BILL
BASIS

A supreme attempt to over
throw tariff legislation as de-
vised by Administration Re-
publicans of the Senate was
planned today with the pro-
posal by Senator L m e +
Thomas (D.) Of Oklahoma to
limit tariff revision to the agrl-
cultural schedules of the Smoot
bill, with such additions as the
Senate. may decide for the
benefit of sick" industries.
with President Hoover's proposals
on the flexible provisions dy
rejected and the export debenture
plan of farm relief voted into the
bill over his objections. adoption OF
the Thomas proposal apparently
would sound the death knen OF
tariff legislation in the extra ses'
sion.
Gets BOrah Support
The Oklahoma Senator exhibited
little hope for success of his pro-
posal, although Senator Borah tR.
of Idaho and many other leaders OF
the Democratic Progressive Repuhli'
can coalition promised their sup
port.
The motion to be offered by Sena
tor Thomas, he explained. is to re-
commit the bill to the Fina nee Com"
mittee with instructions to eliminate
all sections except those dealing
with agricultural rates.
My State is opposed to the
present Smoot bill; it would do
them no good said Senator
Thomas. They are for any tariff
relief which may be given to agri-
culture.
Business Prosperous
They are mindful of President
Hoover's promise to call the special
session particularly for the relief
OF agriculture. IT is well known
that industry generally is abnor
mally prosperous while agriculture
is depressed. NV proposal is to
limit tariff revision to benefit
agriculture and to those industries
which are actually in need of it.
"If my amendment is adopted,
Senators individually NAV still pro.
pose amendments to the tariff
which would benefit manufacturing
establishments. 1t reVerses the
burden of the proof--accepts the
premise that agricultural relief is
needed and requires others to dis
prove 1t. -,
az do not know whether 1t will
be supported, but it will be offered
The Thomas proposal is in line
with the extremists of the progress
i've group, but the interest of many
progressives as well as Democratic
stalwarts in industrial tariff pro
lection for their States was believed
to foredoom its chance of success.
Should the Thomas amendment
fail the Senate will proceed to con
slider the individual tariff rates pro-
posed by the Republican members
of the Senate finance committee as
a revision of the bill which passed
the House.

duty on shot gun barrels.
He revealed a knowledge OF no"

and how the fight over the shot
gun duty was conducted. Such IN
formation always has been regarded
here as confidential.
Walsh gave a. dramatic touch TO
the hearing by the way he handled
the memorandum. First Eyanson,

no such memorandum existed. After
that Walsh produced the photo

ton sent Eyanson such memoranda
all during the secret hearings.
"As matter OF fact, didn't you
