Washington, July 15.-(AP)-1m-
mediate passage of the relief bill was
assured today when senate conferees
accepted the house provisions for
giving publicity to reconstruction
corporation loans.
The senate yielded in the face of a
White House warning that response
bllity for such provision would
rest upon congress-.
Conferences to adjust the differ
ences between senate and house on
the legislation had yet to agree.
After comforting with Hoover, DEM
ocratic senatorial conferees insisted
he would not veto the bill even II
publicity for the loans is kept in it.
Some OF the conferees of the senate
apparently were impressed by the
presidents objections to that provi-
sion and indicated they were not
ready to yield to the house on 1t.
Speaker Garner expected the sem
ate to yield and told newspapermen
congress would probably adjourn
saturday in view of President Hoov-
er's surrender" on the publicity is
sue.
In an interview shortly afterward,
speaker Garner backed up Rainey
and said I'VE are perfectly delighted
to have the responsibility. We are
IN favor OF conducting the public
business openly. The Republicans al
ways prefer to do the public's bust
ness in secrecy.
Something to Blame
THE president has been looking
Tor panic right around the corner
and for something to blame it on.
II it comes he will blame it on the
publicity to these loans"
The white house statement came
after a conference in which senate
conferees on the measure and mem
bers OF the board of the finance cor
poration participated.
AT 1t the chief executives objec-
ton to the publicity proviso was
made known but the white house
statement issued soon after was taken
as an indication he would approve
the measure even If it contained the
publicity provision he disapproves.
Meantime, Rep. Rainey, the house
Democratic leader. said flatly after a
conference with Speaker Garner that
the publicity clause would remain or
there would be no BILL"
The white house statement said
that since the objections to the pub
!lclty clause now were known then
the responsibility in the last analysis
for whatever might happen must nee
essarily rest upon congress"
r. F. G. Board Meets
The white house statement disclos-
ed that the board of the reconstruct
ton corporation" met late Thursday
and later advised the president of the
damage that would result to the cred
1t structure if this (the publicity pro-
viso) were insisted upon"
Members OF the board at the con-
ference Friday morning, the state
ment said, pointed out to senate con-
ferees that a senate committee al
ready existed to investigate the cor
poration's loans.
It was stated a similar opportunity
was open to the house. and that the
board members said the house was
welcome" to investigate.
The statement said Mr.. Hoover had
told the conferees "his policy always
had been to give the fullest publicity
to all government activities but that
he wished congress to be fully ap-
praised of the result in view of the |
emergency"
It was explained at the white house !
only senate conferees had been in
vited to the conference because the |
house conferecs were discharged |
Thursday after that chamber voted |!
to uphold Speaker Garner in his in
sistence upon retention Of the public !
ity clause.
