of fluid milk and manufactured dairy
products in prospect for 1884. it can
hardly be said that the adjustment

Rexford G. Tugwell, UnderSecretary
Of Agriculture. said that, due to the
disappearance of foreign markets:
Even though every hungry person
in the United States should be well
fed. there would still remain a sur

DR.. H. R. Tolley, assistant admins

act, said that even in the peak period

pointed out that the normal domes-

bushels year. while normal domes-

amount used for feed and seed is
about 600,000,000 bushels.
During the present marketing year
the United States will ship abroad
about 35,000,000 bushels of wheat, 30,-

One-hour parking along downtown

This technical violation of the traf-

TWO DIRECT LOAN
MEASURES PUSHED
Groups Back Both Reserve
Plan and R. F. C. Bill
to Aid Industry.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congress showed signs today Of in
sisting that both the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation and the Federal
Reserve banks should be allowed to
give financial lift to industry.
In the Senate, Glass expressed hope
for passage next week of his bill to
let the Federal Reserve make direct
loans. In the House. Representative
Hancock. Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, arguing for passage of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation bill,
gave this description of what he called
the Glass plan:
In my opinion, its main purpose is
not to extend aid to small industries.
but to head off the R. F. c. bill which
would give the needed help. The
Glass bill amounts to nothing more
than a quack remedy"
President Approves Both.
Both the R. F. c. and the Glass
Federal Reserve bills have presi-
dental approval. The former would
be temporary and the latter perma-
nent. Many members contend openly
that the R. F. c. proposal must be
enacted to force the Federal Reserve
10 use its lending authority.
Hancock is gaining House support
for the r. F.. c. proposal. Twice the
House Banking Committee, of which
he is a member, has beaten down with
plenty of votes to spare attempts to
approve the r. F. c. bill without its
provisions for direct loans to in
dustries.
On both occasions. a majority of
the committee members have ques-
toned the workability of the Glass
plan. Gov Eugene Black of the Fed
eral Reserve Board was even told in
open hearing that although members
felt he hoped to help industry they
doubted that he would be able to
90 so.
Black Limits Scope.
Black himself added to the ammuni-
ton being used against the Federal
Reserve when, for the first time. he
disclosed he would not approve loans
Tor permanent" capital such as plant
improvements and repairs. The Fed
e1al Reserve loans, he said, would be
simply working" capital-loans to
meet pay rolls, buy supplies and
the like.
Even Republican committee mem
bers, including Luce of Massachusetts,
and Wolcott of Michigan, remarked
that Blacks differentiation reduced
the possible field of benefit
After talking with other committee
members, Hancock added:
THE type of loan they contemplate
under the Glass bill would be only a
long-term commercial loan. Conse-
quently, it would be wholly inadequate
even if sympathetically administered,
as many doubt it would be-
Representative Koppleman, Demo-
crat, of Connecticut warned that un-
less the r. F. G. bill were pushed, he
would file a petition "and I'll succeed
