WORK TO IRON
OUT FARM BILL
Conferees in Session; Final
Approval of Relief
Measure Is Near.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May A. Only
two out of eighty-four senate
amendments to the sweeping farm
relief imitation bill offered serious
difficulties today as house and SEN
ate conferees met to smooth out
differences, and push the measure
to final enactment.
The multi billion dollar imitation
rider is in final form. The house
by a vote of BOT to Sc Wednesday
accepted the senate provisions with
out change.
One of the controversial senate
amendments to the commodity
price-increase section added sugar
cane and sugar beets to the list of
seven crops to be aided directly
This may be eliminated.
The second barrier is the Norris
Simpson amendment opposed by the
leadership and by Agriculture Sec
rotary Henry Wallace. 1t grants
the secretary power to guarantee
the farmer cost of production plus a
reasonable profit on products con-
sumed in the domestic market.
House conferees are dead against
the amendment, but the size of the
senate majority which supported it
makes it doubtful that it will be re-
moved. Secretary Wallace need not
make use of the plan unless he de-
Sires.
Conferees hoped to compose all
differences by Saturday or Monday,
so that the bill could be enacted
finally early next week.
George Peek of Moline, ILL.,, was
reported in authoritative quarters
today to be slated for the post of
farm administrator. Peek farm
