flicting views OF the senate and
house. The debentures section Is
the main point Of contention and q
long drawn-out argument appears
certain. While three OF the five
senate conferees voted against ex-
port debentures. they are bound TO
support this controverted proposal
in conference with house members.
The export debenture plan was
put in by the senate by a vote OF
AZ to a. with democrats lining up
almost solidly for it and Is repub-
lican independents joining them
Under the rules, the senate will
have TO act first on the conference
report returned by hte ~conferees.
There are indications that some of
those who voted for the export de-
benture in the senate may shift
their drive for this principle from
the farm relief measure to the tariff
bin, thus permitting the farm relief
legislation to become a law.
