RELIEF PLANS
 ARE ENMESHED
 IN CONFERENCE
Administration Program Outwardly Tangled in
 Legislative Snarl

WASHINGTON D. C., Dec. Is The Governments program today seemed begged down as the Ad- ministration's relief program was outwardly as deeply enmeshed as ever in the snarl of Congressional conflict The outcome was un- practicable.
 The Senate members of the Con- ference Committee, handling legis- lation covering the program, were pledged to report back to the Sen ate before consenting to eliminate amendments known to be objec- tionable to the Administration.
 Agree on One Point
 Only one point, apparently, has been agreed upon. The unemploy- ment relief fund has been cut from $118,O00,000 to $116,O00,0O0, which is $34,00O,000 less than the amount recommended by President Hoover.
 In the House, Administration leaders are somewhat uncertain over the future after Republican eff fort to push the measure through without a seperate vote on the Senate provisions had been turned back. The House advanced only routine legislation.
 One Bill Pushed Ahead
 In the Senate the Treasury-Post Office supply bill, appropriating $1,000,0 100000, was pushed ahead.
 The Democrats gained 16 votes in the House as they attempted to put the drought relief bill through without amendments.
 Meanwhile individual Senators called upon their colleague for greater. speed. Sena tor Borah pleaded for action, but without avail reminding the Senate while it's members talked people were go- ing hungry Senator Jones, Wash ington, and Watson, Indiana, de- tended the Presidents policies in debate.
 La Toilette Resolution
 Even while they talked, prepara- tions were being made for bringing before the Senate, Senator La Fol- lette's resolution answering th e Presidents recent attack on the upper House of Congress in which he charged Senators with playing politics with human suffering. It was expected this document would be brought up sometime this after noon.
