House APPROVES
RELIEF MEASURE
BY 216-1S2 VOTE
Garner Plan is Carried to Vic.
tory as Some Republicans
Join Democrats

washington, June 8.-(R-Speaker
Gamers giant relief plan swung
through the house to victory Tues
day, but wednesday in the senate It
faced a stone wall.
Leaders of both parties In that
chamber sought instead immediate
passage of q non-controversial bill
permitting the reconstruction finance
corporation to lend up to $500 900 900
to states for relief purposes.
The Garner plan was put through
by an almost solid Democratic house
vote with the aid of some insurgent
Republicans. The roll call showed
ZIG for it, 1872 against. Bound by
agreement in party caucus to support
the bill, all Democrats but 10 sup
ported the speaker.
Needing President Hoovers de-
nunciation of the bill as gigantic
pork BARREL" all but 81 Of the Re-
publicans voted against it. Though
the outcome was inevitable, they
tried but lost before this an attempt
to recommit the bill and have the
presidents relief program substituted
for that of the speaker. The latter,
involving a total outlay of $780,
600 600, calls for $100,000,000 to be
given outright by the federal govern
ment in relief of restitution; $l,000,-
O00. 900 expansion Of the recon-
struction corporation. and 81 200 O0o,-
900 Of public works the money to be
secured by bond issue based on q
gasoline tax.
Senate Committee Acts
The Democratic unemployment re-
lief bill, providing for a 100000. 900
public works bond issue was approved
Wednesday by the senate banking
committee.
The bill also provides for increasing
the borrowing power of the recon-
struction corporation by $500. 000, 900
for loans on self -liquidating corstruc-
ton projects.
The committee voted 8 to 6. how
ever. to eliminate provision for loans
to competing private industries.
President Hoover has opposed the
Democratic proposal for q $500. O00. 900
bond issue. but has approved as q
separate bill. the Democratic proposal
for q 100000. 900 fund for loans to
states in relief Of restitution, and an
attempt was to be made in the senate
Wednesday to get an agreement for
its consideration. ,,..,.. s...........4

Curtis and Speaker Garner denied
them access to the capitol grounds.
It was not known whether they would
60 ahead and try to march anyway.
Sick faces, medals pinned to greasy
overalls, grimy overseas caps. uni

the parade Tuesday night. Only the
flags, the stars and stripes, looked

At police headquarters 1t was re-
ferred to as being in the nature Of a

of this week and while the sky has
been overcast and the air is still cool
there is much evidence to indicate
that spring will soon be with us.
The grass has painted the landscape

nearly to the bursting point and even
the fruit buds, especially the early
fruit, are becoming more or less COR
