PARTY SMASHES
HOOVER FARM
RELIEF PLAN
President GraSpS for House
Aid After Defeat by
Senate~G. 0. P.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6,-Presi-
dent Hoover grasped today for sup
port among house Republicans
after his party in the senate had
smashed and discarded his pro-
posals for drought relief.
The house agricultural committee
was summoned to meet today in
executive session and battle the is
sue of whether drought-distreSsed
farmers shall be aided with an APP
preparation of S25,000,000 or $50
900 900.
Mr.. Hoover wants the smaller
figure, and has let it be known he
will fight to get it.
The Presidents determination
suggests even the possibility of a
veto if congress insists on more than
doubling the sum the budget bureau
is prepared to spend on drought re-
lief projects.
Defeat Is Overwhelming
Administration defeat in the
senate committee was overwhelm-
ing. All members of the commit
tee present voted Friday to report
favorably a bill appropriating $780,
100000. Chairman McNary' of the
committee, who also is assistant
Republican leader, led the rebel
lion.
He and the committee expect the
senate to pass the bill Monday. Both
houses we're in recess today.
Representative Aswell Dem, Lao
challenges the administration bill in
the house.
But Chairman Haugen of the
agriculture committee is standing
by the President.
The committee may increase the
appropriation somewhat above $25,-
100000 but not to $60,00O,000.
Opposed by Hoover
Aswell, sponsor of the $60,000 900
bill, hopes at least to compel the
house committee to make public the
names of members voting for the
smaller appropriation.
Administration opp sition is
grounded on the fact neither the
$3.50, 100000 emergency unemploy-
ment relief bill nor the drought re-
lief project is included in the
budget.
With a deficit of $18O,0O0O0O al
ready indicated, enactment of the
unemployment and drought meas
ures would increase that figure to
$500 100000.
