SENATE DEBATING
VETERAN QUESTION
New Mexico and Oregon Repub-
leans Lead Fight Against
Roosevelt Plan

Washington. June 12-(R)-Thrust-
Ing the veterans question squarely
before the senate as leaders drove for
adjournment, Senator Cutting (Rep.
N. M. Monday opened a fight for
substitute for the house admins
tration compromise on relief pay
ments to former soldiers.
In taking the floor to urge the SUBJ
stitute. which he is advocating with
Senator Steiwer Rep., Ore), Cutting
told colleagues he intended to move
to instruct senate conferees on the
independent offices bill containing
the veterans provision Ito insist" on
the substitute proposals.
The Cutting-Steiwer plan seeks to
stipulate by law some of the promises
contained in President Roosevelt,s
letter to the house Democratic steer
ing committee to take care of the So
called presumptive cases, and pro-
vides reductions to veterans injured
in service shall be limited to Is per
cent, as originally approved by the
sena',.
One basic differences between the
house-approved compromise and the
Cutting -Steiwer proposal is that the
latter specifics no compensation
which Spanish-American war vet
Grams or dependents were receiving
before the economy law became ef-
fective March 20 shall be cut more
than Is per cent, regardless Of any
provision of the economy law.
This Is intended to remove the re-
quirement that Spanish war veterans
prove their injuries, ailments or dis
abilittes originated in service.

conference Monday with an emphatic
call for coordinated international ac-

which has cost sc, OO0, 900 workers their
Jobs and has halved the value Of in

Delegates from 66 nations, describ-
ed by the British prime minister as
perhaps the greatest assemblage of
international authority ever held,
heard the speech.
Springing q surprise which appear
ed unwelcome In some quarters, Mac
Donald brought up the delicate SUBJ
ject Of the war debts, declaring they
must be dealt with Immediately.
He admitted the conference was not
SO constituted that it could handle
the problem, but emphasized his be-

warning that this controversial sub

States delegates that it was not in
good taste and might stiffen senti-

The Americans expressed the opin-

talking for home consumption.
AS the meeting was adjourning un-

High financial authorities close to

Plans Are RevitaIized At Con.
ference With Roosevelt
Late Sunday Night
HOUSE is READY TO QUIZ
Has Completed Task Except
For Final Ratification OF
-
Some Measures

Washington, June 12-(F-A new
surge of the Roosevelt forces was
launched in congress Monday to force
the senate into line for final adjourn
ment by nightfall.
The majority leaders, their plans re-
vitalized at late night conference
with the president, waged the battle
against the distractions which, at the
last hour, had killed the ambitious
plan Of winding up the extra session
with a bang last Saturday midnight.
Monday was the new goal, looked
upon with optimism. Tuesday night
was the latest hour the Democratic
pilots would allow in their public pre-
dictions of the close.
All hung upon the senate, for the
house had wound up all it could do
Saturday and was standing by for
final ratification Of the measure be-
ing completed and to vote adjourn
ment.
Mondays program was:
Adoption by the senate Of the In
dustry recovery-public works bill con-
ference report, already accepted by
the house.
Acceptance by the senate OF the in
dependent offices supply bill carrying
the veterans compensation funds, re.
adjusted in Roosevelt compromise
which the house has accepted.
Push Big Money Bill
Passage by the Senate of last
minute $3,500,O00,000 appropriation
bill, largest in U. s. peace-time his
tory. to permit launching the public
works program and the Muscle Shoals
and Tennessee development plan; to
finance administration Of the new
federal "blus sky" law, the new en-
ployment service, various farm and
farm credit enterprises, and the horna
mortgage relief program.
Washington observers saw the de-
lay in congressional adjournment
Monday as possibly interfering with
the administration plans regarding the
war debt payments which fall dua
Thursday.
With strong indications that Greak
Britain, Italy and others would pre-
sent partial payments, the administra.
tons financial experts had to figure
out whether these could be accepted
without compromising the national
stand for full payment.
Should the decision be that tho
partial sums can be taken and con.
gress still be in session, there is every
indication Of q wholesale outburst
from the powerful differentiation
wing, many Of whose members alreadH
have been sharp-tongued about the,
Roosevelt foreign policy. :;

lance at 1853 miles, most of it over

MORTGAGE SITUATION EASED

Washington, June 12.-(P-The
upward sweep of farm prices is shelv-
ing for the time being many of the
extraordinary new powers for relief
extended to government farm officials
by congress.
This rise, credited in part to infla-
tionary influences, has greatly in
creased potential farm purchasing
power, long damned by low prices
and surplus production. Every i'm
portant farm product has shown an
increase, one of them. wool, advanc-
Ing IS percent to its approximate pre-
war level.
Congress enacted far-reaching az
ricultural legislation during the three
month session. The farm adjustment
act, the 100000, 900 mortgage re-
financing law, and an act completing
consolidation of federal agricultural
credit agencies, were the most i'm
portant.
The adjustment act has as its goal
returning purchasing power of farm
ers to It's pre-war status. So far the
advance In prices has affected ma
terials the farmer sells without meas
urably increasing the cost Of goods he
most commonly buys.
Secretary Wallace believes acreage
reduction is necessary in the case Of
wheat, cotton and corn, and hog and
livestock production should be cut.
He is convinced undertaking any
program of production curtailment
while prices are ION the rise" is diff
ficult because the farmer will be les.
willing to retire acreage.
The rise also has stemmed the ex.
pected rush Of farm debtors and
creditors to avail themselves of the
mortgage refinancing act.
