 WASHINGTON, May IA. A compromise Federal relief plan has been discussed between President Hoover, Congressional and Fed eral financial leaders, which in- vclved an increase in the borrow ing power of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation by $1 ,500,000,- coo. Under the terms of the pro posal the Reconstruction Finance Corporation would be authorized to make loans exclusively to sep arate States up to a total of $300,- O0oO0o. This money would be linn tied in use exclusively for relief purposes. The remaining money would be employed to make se- cured loans to assist private and public construction on condition that the construction would be productive in it's nature
 Distribution of Outlay
 In a vigorous effort Congress sional leaders sought to win non- partisan support for the billion and half Federal relief program The heavy outlay would be dis triouted by the Reconstruction Fiji nance Corporation, the funds being raised as needed through the sale Of corporation debentures with nc isS,ta of E.adarol l,o,,dc
 The money raised by the Re construction Finance Corporation according to the proposal, may be used both for relief and to provide employment through construction
 It is conceded that even with the backing of President Hoover the proposal must have genera support in both political parties if it be passed within the briei four weeks remaining before Con- gress quits for the session
