? Washington. May 20.--(F)-A tire.
nendous tariff fight, full of bitterness,
Friday gripped the senate and the Vi
tai tax bill in paralyzing vice that
threatened a badly extended session
Of congress.
Leaders on each Side-one group
unyieldingly determined to keep tariffs
on oil, coal, copper and lumber in the
revenue bill, the other vowing to
strike them all out or loosen q mad
house of general tariff revision-jock-
eyed for break to end the tug-of-
war that already has lasted through
two nights and day of angry de-
bate.
With one or two votes the only mar
gin. tariff advocates claimed victory,
while the opposition was Sailing for
a change In sentiment. Deep down.
each side expected public pressure to
swing the issue its way.
Yet President Hoover, manifestly
anxious, had the senators warned that
he will sanction no adjournment, re-
gardless Of the June conventions, un-
til this budget balancing bill Is put
through.
The pro-tariff coalition. closely
knit, brought together northwestern
Republicans demanding the lumber
duty; southwest Democrats after oil
and copper protection, with middle
west and eastern members Of both
parties insisting on the coal tax. Sem
ator Watson, the Republican leaoer.
was standing with them. Senator

lican national committee. and she

PLAN EXPANSION POLICY

New York, May 20.-(P)-A new
move to put hundreds of millions OF
idle dollars to work was started Fri
day by a powerful committee OF
bankers and industrialists under the
Craftsmanship of Owen D. Young.
The group was called together by
George L. Harrison. governor OF the
New York federal reserve bank. to
make the federal reserves policy. OF
credit expansion effective and IN an
swer to a demand in many quarters
for more drastic means of stimulating
a recovery In prices.
It was pointed out that in spite of
the fact that the federal reserve sys-
tenn has purchased 725,000.000 OF
United States government securities,
releasing funds capable Of supporting
$3.50 ,0OO, 900 of bank credit. the de-
flation of bank loans and investments
has been unchecked. Fear and un-
certainty on the part OF banks and
the investing public alike have pre-
vented the reserves policy from tax
ing its full effect.
BY the formation of the new COM
mittee, financial authorities hope to
find the means for bringing together
the vast surplus of idle funds in the
banks and financing the many
worthy projects in need Of credit that
exist throughout the country.
Members of the group said after
their organization meeting Thursday
that nothing sufficiently definite had
been arranged for them to be able to
comment upon their program. FL
nancial leaders suggested, however
that one possible avenue Of credi,
expansion lay in loans to building
and loan societies by the large Gem.
mercial banks, answering demand
for credit for financing small homes.
Another possibility suggested wa
the extension of credit to farm loar
banks in order that these institutions
might more freely grant accommoda'
ton to the agricultural districts.
