DEBATED ON RADIO
Vandenberg Urges Bill as
Rankin Raps Tactics
of Advocates.

Reapportionment Of the members of
the House of Representatives accord
ing to population, which has stirred
up much excitement in Congress re-
Gently and now is before the con-
ferees Of the House and Senate, was
the subject of debate last night by
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan, and Representative Rankin,
Democrat, of Mississippi, over radio
station WMAL in the National Radio
Forum arranged by The Star and
sponsored by the Columbia Broadcast
ing System.
Strongly urging the speedy enactment
of the pending measure, Senator VAN
denberg criticized congressional iner-
tia for preventing passage of a re-
apportionment bill since the 1920
census. He explained that the present
bill provides q means for reapportion-
ing the House membership, when the
census is taken every 10 years here
after, adding that thus congressional
inertia no longer could cheat this fun
damental constitutional purpose"
Rankin Scores Bill Advocates.
Senator Vandenberg said that II
States seem destined to lose one or
more Representatives in 1880 and II
States seem destined to gain.
The tactics of the advocates of the
bill were roundly scored by Representa-
tive Rankin. He denied that he and
others who opposed the bill were Vio-
lating the Constitution. but insisted
that they were in favor Of reappor-
tionment on the basis of an accurate
census.
There are more than $500, 900 aliens
in the United States" said MIR. Rankin,
who have never taken out their first
papers. Under the present apportion-
ment, they are allotted about 20 or 25
Congressman, which under the new ap-
portionment would have to be taken
away from the agricultural States with
their old-line American stocks"
Vandenberg's Speech.
Senator Vandenberg's speech in full
follows:
The word "reapportionment" prob
ably sounds academic and colorlesS and
uninteresting to unfamiliar ears. But
within 1t, when adequately understood,
is embraced the prime vitality OF the

FARM RELIEF BILL
HANGS IN BALANCE
Debenture Plan Vote Holds
Fate of Legislation as
Storm BreWS.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Farm relief legislation hangs in the
balance, while insurgent Republicans
and Democrats favoring the export
debenture clause threaten to continue
the fight In the Senate for the de-
benture plan.
A vote on the conference report on
the farm bill, which omits the deben-
ture plan, is not expected by the ad-
ministration leaders before Tuesday.
II the conference report is adopted
by the Senate, the bill will be sent i'm
mediately to the President, approved by
him and become Law, with its revolving
fund Of $500,o00 900 to aid in the mar
keting of farm crops authorized.
Should the conference report, on the
other hand, be voted down In the
Senate, it might sound the death knell
Of all farm legislation at this time.
Proponents Disagree.
The coalition favoring the debenture
plan wishes to disagree to the confer
ence report and send message to the
House insisting upon the debenture
clause and asking for a further con-
ference. II such a course is adopted,
the House may decline absolutely to
receive the bill on the ground that the
Senate exceeded its constitutional
authority when 1t inserted the deben-
ture plan in the bill, since the House
alone is authorized to initiate revenue
legislation. Senators deny that the de-
benture clause violates this provision
- kfNr 10
has agreed to their view.
II the House declined to receive the
bill with the debenture clause, an i'm
passe would be reached which might
result in preventing all farm legisla-
ton at a time when 1t is particularly
needed. It was stated last night that
House leaders were firm in their de-
termination not to accept any such
proposition from the Senate, declaring
that the House already has indicated
its opposition to the debenture plan.
The House overwhelmingly has
agreed to the conference report on the
farm bill. There were indications last
night that some of the Republican in
surgents from the West in the Senate
do not desire to prevent the farm bill
from becoming law, even though they
support the debenture plan, and that
II the bill were sent to conference again
and the House still stood firm against
the debenture clause, they finally
would vote for the conference report.
Close Vote Is Expected.
So close was the vote believed to be
on the conference report that leaders
would not hazard a guess on how 1t
would go. The debenture plan carried
In the Senate with a margin of three
votes. A change of two votes would
give victory to the supporters of the
conference report.
When the debenture clause was voted
on in the Senate, four Democrats we're
counted against it, Ransdell of Loui-

hours later with the little craft
dispersed far and wide. None of

the leading boats could make the

Tonight a wide search, insti-

had accounted for all of the
competitors. Among those who
got into difficulties and re-
turned or we're rescued were Miss
Marion B. Carstairs, famed
