BY the Associated Press
A move to send the unemplOy-
ment relief bill back to conference
with the House developed today
In the Senate as the result of a
Nation wide pressure from banks
to eliminate the provision requir-
ing publicity on Reconstruction
Finance Corporation loans.
Senate leaders were somewhat
apprehenSive over the possibility
of adjourning Congress tonight, as
the movement seemed to gain
headway.
They sent representatives over
to consult House leaders to de-
termine whether sentiment in
that branch had changed Suftl-
ciently to allow elimination of the
publicity clause.
There was a strong factor in the
Senate, however. opposed to sending
the bill back to conference and de-
manding that the bill be passed and
sent to the White House.
Pressure Quickly Develops.
The pressure against the publicity
clause developed overnight. Yester-
day the Senate was ready to approve
the conference report without debate.
Bankers throughout the country
however, wired to their Senators op-
posing the publicity clause on loans
from the Reconstruction Corporation.
President Hoover and members of the
Reconstruction Corporation Board op

gress to jump through the hoop when
Wall Street speaks.
Il don't Jump through the hoop.
I've always held that Congress should
reach its own conclusions without out

The corporation itself, in letter to
the conferees. said such provision Is
against the public interest and may
result in irreparable damage" 1t sug-

study its reports confldentially. but the
recommendation was ignored.
$4,000, ,O00. 900 Available.
The relief bill makes $4,000 900 600
available to the corporation. o. this
81 800 100000 increase in present funds,
$500 900, 900 is provided for immediate
relief loans to States and sl.500,000 900
for other leans intended to create en-
p.oyment.

construction program. of which $780,
900. 900 could be postponed if the Treas
ury found the money not available or
obi ainable on reasonable interest.
A deadlock in the conference between
the two houses broke up early yester-
day as soon, in fact, as assurance came

The Senators then yielded to the In
sistent House demand for the publicity
clause.
The House then approved the con-
