SHIT TACTBCS
ON TARIFF

Alarmed apparently BY growing
opposition In Congress to the
tariff bill, Administration leaders
today had adopted q new course
Of strategy. designed to enact the
measure By June 16.
With the consent Of House
leaders, the Senate abandoned
debate on the controversial sec
ond section Of the tariff confer
ence report and concentrated on
the first section.
Hope to- Cut Debate
A half dozen points Of order
were threatened against the first
section, which contains rates on
800 tariff items. The first objec-
tion was raised by Senator Bark
ley Cd Of Kentucky to the
rate on watches. Other Senators
waited to enter parliamentary
objections against the compro-
mise. rates on cherries, cheese,
wool. cattle and manufactures OF
rayorl.
Vice President Curtis announced
he would rule on all the points Of
order at one time. If he decides
any Of the compromise rates are
out of order. the first section Of
the report will be returned TO
conference. Then, Senate ana
House cunferees win reduce the
objectionable rates to the limits
prescribed BY the Vice President
and report the bill back to the
Senate.
A gentieman's agreement viii
be sought then to arnalgamate the
two sections. This procedure was
determined by Administrator
leaders in order to speed action
on the conference report at birth
ends Of the Capitol. It would
undoubtedly reduce debate and it
would confine action In botla
branches to q single vote on
adoption or. rejection of the en-
tire report.
Curtis Fixes Rates
One Of the unusual features of
the tariff row was the Develop
rnent of 9 situation IN which the
Vice President can technically
fix tariff rates. OrdinariIy, UNI
less there is q tie vote, the Vice
President has no voice IN lesisla-
ton.
Under circumstances now ex-
isting In the Senate, he can lower
rates on watches. cheese. cher
ries, rayoll, wool and cattle, by
the simple expedient If holding
the compromise rates out Of
order.
