Washington, Dec. 6.-(AP)-A sur
vey has disclosed enough votes to pass
the Senate crop control bill, Senator
Pope, Democrat, Idaho, said today,
despite the widespread criticism of
many of it's provisions.
Some legislators, however, expressed
doubt that any farm legislation would
reach President Roosevelt during the
special session.
Leaders in both Senate and House
hope to get vote by Wednesday, but
the two measures are 50 different that
it is a foregone conclusion confer
ence conan ;ttee would have to find
some middle ground.
Some members said that composing
these differences might delay final
enactment of bill until the regular
session beginning in January.
Secretary Wallace was reported dis
satisfied with both Senate and House
bills One official close to him said
Wallace might urge President Roose
welt to veto any bill finally enacted
which approximated either the Sen
ate or House measures.
The House continued today the con-
sideration of amendments to its farm
bill. The Senate in an effort to speed
the debate on it's measure, agreed un-
animously to limit the speaking time
of each senator to fifteen minutes on
amendments and to thirty minutes on
the bill itself.

Revolt p Upon
President Is
Not Evident
But Roosevelt Re-

; Legislative Pro-
gram SlOWed.DOWn

Washington, Dec. G.-(AP)- AL
though President Roosevelt will dis
cover on his return from Florida to-
night that his legislative program has
made little progress, congressional
chieftAins will report to him that sew
eral widely rumored revolts have not
materialized.
When Congress assembled three
weeks ago, there was much specula-
ton over the possibility that it would
sidetrack the Presidents recommen-
dations and substitute a business aid
program of its own. Instead the two
houses have devoted themselves ex
clusively to administration proposals
except for a week of debate in the
Senate on the anti-lynching bill
which had a preferred Legislative
status.
Many observers commented that
Mr. Roosevelt in calling the extra
session, was inviting congressional
backfires on the nomination of SUI
preme Court Justice Black and on his
foreign policies, particularly his fail
ure to invoke the neutrality act in
the Sino-Japanese war.
Mr. Roosevelt, besides surveying
the congressional situation, soon will
complete next years budget estimates
and will continue his studies of tn.
business situation. He plans to hold
further conferences with utilities ex-
ecutives about a possible reconcilia-
ton of policies which might increase
construction by power companies;
