Farm Relief Bill Will Be Up Again Minneapolis, Aug. 27.—(#)—An- other effort will be made at the coming. session of Congress to pass the McNary-Haugen bill creating a government export corporation to handle farm products, according to Congressman Gilbert N. Haugen, of Towa, chairman of the house com- mittee on agriculture. . ‘Mr. Haugen was in Minneapdlis today on his way home after an au- tomobile trip to Winnipeg. a ,‘We shall make the best efforts possible for the bill again,” said Mr. Haugeg. “I do not believe, however, that the secretary of agriculture will be friendly; and that of course, will make it difficult. “There is not such a strong de- mand now for relief legislation for the farmer, owing to the improved prices farmers are getting for their products, but if the bill was proper before it is yet, and we are going to urge its passage. “The main trouble was that we did not have the undivided support of farmers’ organizations.

Senator Curtis, Republican floot leader, 2 member of the committee, said today, before leaving for his home in Kansas that he intended to return early in October to follow the tax hearings which will be held by the house ways and means committee beginning October 19. Republican members of the senate committee, he said, planned to fol- low closely the house committee hearings and the debate in the house so hearings could be begun as soon ag the bill reached his committee. Suggestions have been advanced that efforts will be made by the house leaders to put the new tax bill in the hands of the senate before the Christmas holidays. The hearings before the finance committee will be brief, Senator Curtis asserted, and the bill will be reported quickly to the Senate, with special efforts directed toward having it passed be- fore March, when the tax returns for the next year must be filled. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, an- other republican member of the fi- nance committee, said today that he would oppose inclusion in the new tax law of any provision with regard to capital gains and losses, holding that the government was losing rev- enue under the provisions of the present la@ taxing capital gains and would profit by repeal of the levy.

Perthission had been asked several days ago to take a coil of wire into Young's cell, 0 tensibly for use in rigging a radio re- ceiving set, but this was denied.
