D. €, MOXDAY. DECEMBER 3, 1928 FARM RELEF PLAN VAT ON HOOVER Session to Depend Upon His Wishes. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Farm relief at the impending “short” | session of the expiring Seventieth Con- | gress depends entirely upon the prefer- | {ence of President-elect Hoover.

By the Associated Press | LYNN, Mess, December 3.—A new | type of light, claimed to lay a film of | virtual daylight on the ground without | | casting glare high into the air, was an- | nounced Saturday. | It is an aviation field floodlight de- | signed by C.

Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, December 3—Tuber- culosis takes a weekly average toll of 30 lives in Maryland, according to a statement just issued by William B. | Matthews, managing director of the Maryland Tuberculosis Association.

Swiss People Vote Reinstallation of | Pressing of Measure at Short | Action on it will | appointments to such a board would not turn out to be wholly satisfactory to the Western rural element. Another important consideration | weighing heavily in Senator McNary's mind is that President-elect Hoover may desire to begin his administration | with farm-relief machinery entirely of {his own manufacture. Even if " the MecNary bill were to become law at the “short” session, its provisions would be “carrir‘d out during the early months of | the Hoover administratio: Senator McNary Concurs. If Mr. Hoover believes—as many of his friends are sure he does believe— that an agricultural program, for which his administration will have to bear responsibility, should be executed by Hoover appointees, Senator McNary is | disposed to act on corresponding lines | In that event the Oregonian will let | his bill repose in the agricultural com- mittee, give public opinion, the press and farm leaders an exhaustive oppor- tunity to study it. and then. at the special session, to which President-elect Hoover is already committed, promptly pilot the measure to enactment. “In | other words,” as the Senate agricultural | chairman puts it to this writer, “if | Hoover wants farm relief to be ex- clusively his own baby, I am not only illing but am frank to say there | would be reason and logic in such a | position.” Another Phase Considered. It is now plainly indicrted that farm j relief will be a double-barreled propo- sition on Capitol Hill during the next few weeks. Not only does the agri- d | cultural group plan to drive for Fed i eral aid in handling the surplus prob. lem, but there is to be a strong effor to enforce immediate “upward” revision of the tariff on farm products.

Unless granted. Capper points out, it would be a whole year before benefits could be derived, -because they would not affect the world's 1029 crops. Foreign Farmers Competing. Foreign farmers are giving American | wheat growers, live stock raisers, dairy- men and producers of hides, in par- ticular, far more competition than the general public understands, according to Senator Capper. Last year no less than two billion dollars’ worth of agri- cultural produce was imported from abroad, constituting grave rivalry for the American farmer. It can only be checked to his advantage, Senator Cap- | per insists, by prompt and drastic in- | crease of the taridf rates on the affected commodities. What Senator Capper urges is “emer- | gency legislation” ‘for the benefit of ulture, and “preservation of the relationship between farm and in- revision is undertaken later.” (Copyright, 1928.)
