Supporters of the Haugen bill | which provides for a $375.000.000 re. | volving fund to be used 1o ald in the marketing of the surplus stahle crops, | are working to the utmost limit to bring about the passage of that bill A combingtion of Western and Middle Western Republican members of the House wnd Democraix is sup porting the Haugen hiil The administration leaders, on the other hand, re sianding N Iy |agaiusi 1his measure.

One amendment which | will be offered would eliminate en tirely the so-called equalization fee by which the government eventually would get hack some of the monex which it would be callea upon put up to ald the farmers in disposing of their surplus crops.

He gaid that the time 10 he devoied to zeneral debate would be egually di- | vided among Representatives Haugen, Tincher and Aswell. the authors of the three bills which were reported from the House agriculutre committee with. out recommendation. so that the House might have them all before it ' for_consideration.

Mr. Snell explained that und the special rule it would be ossible Revinane amendmenis 1o be offered to the Tincher bill or the As. well bill which are to be presented as substitutes for the Haugen measure. | Represeniative Black of Neaw York complained because the special rule made no provigion for time 1o he used hy opponents of all three bhills during the. general debate. Rule Held “Fit for Museum. it o Representative Snell was subjected to a rapld fire of questions regarding the operution of the special rule. Some of the questioners declared that the rule was extraordinary and un- heard-of and was fit for = museum. Mr. Snell declared at one point his defense of the rule that the con mitiee had been actuated by a desire to help agriculture. His statement was greeted with & roar of laughter Representative Pew, Democrat, of North Cavoling, who followed Mr. Snell. delivered a violent attack upon the Haugen bill. “Only one of thess measures stands a chance of hecoming a law if it pass. | es this hody.” said Mr. Pew.
