PRESENT PROSPECT
OF AVOIDING EXTRA
SESSION BRIGHTER
Relief Agreement Satisfactory
to Both Parties and Hoo.
yer Is Reached
PLAN NOT CLEARLY STATED
New Proposal Calls for Appro-
priation Of 100000 900
for Rehabilitation

Washington, Feb. 7.-R-Prospects
for avoiding a special session of con-
gresss were better Saturday than at
any time in weeks.
An agreement was reached late
Friday on relief legislation, satisfac-
tory to all major groups in both SEN
ate and house and represented as
bearing the approval of President
Hoover. This snapped the tension in
congress, cleared the major obstacle
from the path of the necessary ap-
preparation bills and led to the estab-
lishment OF q new cooperation be-
tween regular Republicans and DEM
ocratS in the senate, in the interest
Of q peaceful solution Of remaining
controversies.
It was still too early for assurance
that independent efforts would not
be made in the remaining weeks to
block legislation, but the willingness
Of the Democratic leaders to go along
with the administration forces as
sured q majority Of controlling pro-
portions. The leaders are ready to
take drastic action should q filibuster
develop.
Conferees Of the senate and house
decided to complete formally Satur-
day afternoon the agreement on q
substitute for the $25.0OO,O00 appro-
priation to the Red Cross which was
the principal bone Of contention.
The new plan calls for approprt-
alton Of an additional $4,000, 600
drought loan to be available for
agricultural rehabilitation"
Whether farmers could borrow
from 1t to buy food was not clearly
stated, and the final decision may be
left to the secretary Of agriculture.
Senate leaders believed the language
broad enough. Senator Robinson Of
Arkansas, the Democratic chief said
he believed food loans will be made"
Senator Watson Of Indiana, the
Republican leader, pointed out: "You
cannot rehabilitate farms with dead
farmers. On the house side Repub-
lican Leader Tilson said the plan
gets away from all ideas Of q graf
uity, or a dole. O charity because
every dollar advanced on the loans
will be secure"
