FARM PURCHASE
POWERS FAVORED
Roosevelt Said to Be Eager
House Body Restore
Resale Clause,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An administration leader said today
President Roosevelt had expressed the
nope that the House Agriculture Com
mittee would restore a land-buying
proposal to farm tenancy legislation.
The committee voted, l3 to II,
Wednesday against authorizing the
Secretary of Agriculture to spend
$50,000,000 year to buy farms for re-
sale to tenants and sharecroppers on
easy credit terms.
1t expects to decide Tuesday whether
to reconsider this vote.
The administration official, who
asked that his name not be used said
the President believed Congress should
authorize an experimental program OF
assisting tenants to acquire their own
farms. Mr. Roosevelt advised last
week, however, against too great an
expenditure.
Sponsors expressed confidence that
at least two members Of the House
committee who opposed the proposal
would change their stand Tuesday.
One OF those to whom they looked
was Representative Pierce, Democrat,
OF Oregon, who said he had not
changed his mind 50 far
The other was Representative Gill
christ, Republican, of Iowa, who was
absent when the vote was taken.
Opponents, on the other hand, con-
tended the measure was dead. Repre-
sentative Andersen, Republican, of
Minnesota deplored what he called
administration pressure on Democrats
who voted against it.
Opposition has been based chiefly
on the argument that the proposal
would put the Government into the
land-buying and farming business and
make 1t a landlord over the tenants
to whom it would sell farms.
The committee may decide Tuesday
whether 1t will approve two other
administration recommendations for
s75,OO0,000 rehabilitation loan and
a $40 100000 submarginal land retire
ment program.

ance Of "a United States Senator's
yesterday in its fight against cancer.
Led by Senator Bone of Washing
ton, they introduced bill authoriz-
ing an annual appropriation Of ST.
100000 for research on the disease. 1t
was the first time within the memory
of congressional attaches that so many
Senators joined in introducing legis-
lation.
simultaneously Representative Mag
nuson OF Washington submitted the
same measure to the House.
The legislation authorizes grants to
schools, hospitals and laboratories and
scientific investigators, whose work
has shown promise of making valuable
contributions to the cause, diagnosis,
control. treatment and prevention Of
cancer"
Despite the rank of cancer as
killer" Bone said, the amount spent
yearly for research by the United
States Public Health Service and by
private research institutions is less
than the cost of building a few big

Administration leaders said pri-
vately, however, that they hoped to
work out a compromise which would
sever the Byrnes amendment from the
Guffey bill and call for its considera-
ton Immediately after the coal
measure passed.
Wagner said many coal operators
owned the towns in which their work.
ers lived, and that the Byrnes amend
ment would cause hardship by GUST
ing the miners completely from the
owners property.
Don't the coal operators frequently
own the local courts as well as the
company towns?" asked Senator Fra

which he and Wagner had conducted
into the soft coal industry which de-
scribed working conditions as un-
American and tnconceivable.
Wagner raised the question about
company-oWned towns because the
Byrnes amendment would declare 1t
to be against public policy for miners
to stay on company property after re-
ceiving written notice to leave.
Against Encumbrances.
Senator Nicely, Democrat, Of West
Virginia, who handled the coal meas
ure, urged that the bill be defeated IN
its entirety rather than be "encum-
bered" with this obnoxious amend
ment"
Senator Davis, Republican, OF Penn
sylvania, asserted the only sit-down
ever held in the coal industry had
been declared illegal by the miners
union.
The debate touched briefly on the
judiciary issue when Senator George
Democrat, of Georgia, an opponent oi
the Presidents plan to name six new
justices to the Supreme Court, said
statements had been made "in high
places" calculated to undermine the
confidence Of the people.
You can't destroy the confidence
Of the people in the top of their judi

destroying their confidence in the
humblest's magistrates court in this

amendment was 'out Of place" anc
asked why Southern Senators had moi
asked for "a declaration OF policy
