by the Associated Press.
Speaker Byrns told his press con-
ference today the Frazier-Lemke farm
debt financing bill had no more
chance of passing than anything in
the world"
I'D gamble on It," he said
The Speaker conceded, however,
that there was possibility the House
might agree to take from the Rules
Committee q rule for consideration Of
the controverted measure to refinance
farm debts with $4,000, 000, 900 of new
currency.
But he argued that adoption Of the
rule would be different matter and
would command a fewer votes.
Forces Are Mustered.
Leaders on both sides of the fight
were mastering their forces.
The first House test of the meas
ure was due to start this afternoon
following passage of the relief and
deficiency appropriation bill and while
leaders predicted an emphatic defeat.
Representative Lemke, Republican, OF
North Dakota said that the House was
certain to pass the bill.
Representative Boland Of Pennsyl-
vania, the Democratic whip, was
working strenuously against it. He
said, II have no hesitancy in saying
I'm doing everything possible to de-
feat the bill"
Parliamentary Tests Ahead.
The measure faced two parlia-
mentary tests before getting to the
floor for debate. First on the sched-
ule was q House vote on whether to
discharge the Rules Committee from
consideration Of rule permitting the
bill to be called up tomorrow for
six hours general debate.
Should the vote be in the afirma-
tive, the House then would decide
whether to adopt the rule. If 1t did,
the debate would be held, to be fol-
lowed by q vote on the measure itself.
Democratic chiefs said some members
who are opposed to the Frazier-Lemke
bill itself believe it should be per-
mitted to go to q vote on its merits.
Foes of the bill contend it con-
stitutes imitation, while Representa-
tive Lemke argues 1t is not imitation
airy, because the new currency would
be backed by farm mortgages as Sc
curity.
Boland predicted q close battle on
the first vote today. He said Demo-
Gratis would think twice before voting
to support q Republican in taking leg
islation away from Democratic COM
mittee. Should they vote to dis
charge the Rules Committee, he
argued, politicians back home will use
it as q strong talking point.
IF voted to do that" he said, II
don't believe I would have the sup
port Of my county organization and
there are plenty more in the same
position"
A test ON the legislation was forced
when 218 members signed up q petit
ton automatically allowing the vote
to discharge the Rules Committee.

A Republican effort to force substi-
tuition of State grants for Works Prog
ress Administration handling Of the
SLABS ,00O, 900 relief fund was rejected
today by the House.
The vote was on motion by Repre-
sentative Taber, Republican, Of New
York, to send the big bill back to the
Appropriations Committee with in
structions to substitute his previously
defeated amendment for State grants,
with local administration by nom
partisan boards and State contrihu-
lions of at least Is per cent.
The State grant fight was scheduled
to be renewed in the Senate, where
the measure goes from the House.
Ballot Is Delayed.
The ballot on Taber's motion was
delayed by a parliamentary tangle
over a statement in the Congressional
Record. Taber contended remarks ex-
tended in the Congressional Record
by Representative Martin, Democrat,
of Colorado, represented him as de-
Tending w. P. A. when the contrary
was true.
A motion by Taber to have the re-
marks expunged from the Record was
voted down, $40 to ia. Martin, who
said 1t was a Printing Office error,
then asked that the Record be cor
rected. Representative Smell, the Re-
publican leader, objected, however, on
grounds the majority had gone on
record as wanting an erroneous
record.
On a standing vote on Taber's reso-
luton, the vote was SO to 80 against
it. The Republicans forced roll-call
