Declaring that the last campaign falled to give a clear-cut decision on the type of relief the farmer wants, Senator Norbeck, Republican, of South | Dakota, asserted in the Senate today | that the substitution “of the saloon for | the equalization fee” by Alfred E. Smith made the election of President Hoover lndlclaud a desire to discuss the pro- 8l A Saturday session may be called to get the export debenture contest out of the way before the end of the week, and if this aim is successful, the meas- ure as a whole is likely to reach a vote Monday or Tuesday. Considerable Debate Expected. Although the amendment of Senator Watson of Indiana, the Republican leader, to climinate the debenture plan has caused the greatest discussion, con- siderable debate is expected also upon a number of the dozen or so changes advocated by other Senators. Some of these may be accepted or rejected without argument, however. After the debenture plan has been dis- posed of, the Senate will be asked by Chairman McNary to comply with & request of Fruit and Vegetable Associa- tions that their products be excluded from operation of the farm relief ma- chinery to be set up by the bill. They sked and obtained similar exemption from operation of the equalization fee in the old McNary-Haugen bill. Senator McNary also has an amend- ment providing that no money would THE: LVENIENG - STAR, FASHINGTON, s D.

Another amendment that seems cer- The Senator, who is supporting the export debenture plan opposed by Mr. Hoover, contended the recent statement of Frapk O.

Lowden on Platform. “A careful reading of Lowden’s so- called indorsement of the pending bill will show that the bill is in compliance with party promises—the Kansas City platform.” the South Dakotan declared. *T hope it has not been forgotten what Gov. Lowden said about the platform at_Kansas City after its adoption.” During today’s debate the farm bill ‘was attacked by Senator Wagner, Dem- ocrat, New York. as a “dressed up scheme” to satisfy campaign slogans. He proposed a substitute for the han- dling of surplus crops by co-operative organizations and the carrying on of this work by a powerful board directly under Government control. Senator Norbeck indicated he is un- | decided whether he will vote for the | farm measure. “If T were certain that this mew Government board would not add to the trouble of the farmer, I would vote for it cheerfully,” he said. ‘The views of the President on farm relief, Senator Norbeck said, were in keeping with the Kansas City platform. He said his disappointment was not with the President, but with the plat- form. which, when it was adopted. “seemed but a weak repetition of a| positive promise made four years pre- vious and not carried into effect.” Warns of Overproduction. At the House side of the Capitol, Rep- resentative Tilson of Connecticut, the Republican leader. declared in a state- ment he believed the farm bill* passed by the House contained a wholesome restrictive provision on overproduction, but there appeared no such provision in | the Senate bill. He said that overpro- duction should be guarded against. “Unless proper steps are taken to guard against overproduction,” he said, “it is sure to follow price stimulation as night is to follow the day, and this is especially true of those commoditics of which there usually is produced a surplus above domestic market require- ments. . “The purpose and effect of the legis- Jation we are passing is to give the food producer a preferred status in many respects, and in my judgment, 8o far as“it can bedone, without en- tering upon a scheme of governmental price-fixing, bonuses or subsidies.” ‘The mass of amendments offered to the farm relief bill in the Senate has forced. administration leaders to con- clude that final action on the measure wmkhnve to be postponed until next | week, Senator. McNary of Oregon, chairman of the agriculture committee, is hopeful that the Senate will vote on the ex- port debenture section tomorrow, but _even this seems impossible in view of the large number of Senators who have tain to be voted down is that of Senator Harris, Democrat, of Georgia for the operation of Muscle Shoals under lease from the Secretary of War to the Air Nitrates Corporation and the American Cyanamid Co. In this category also is placed the amendment of Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New York, to substitute the equalization fee for the export debenture plan. Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla- homa has offered several amendments designed to curb the power of the Presi- dent with respect to the functioning of the farm board. Senator Tyson, Democrat, of Ten- nessee has suggested an amendment which would give any product manu- factured from cotton as well as raw cotton the benefit of the debenture rate. Senator Hayden, Democrat, of Ari-| zona has an amendment which would authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to seek means of increasing production of farm products at present imported by use of soil now devoted to crops of | which there are surpluses. One amendment by Senator Capper. Republican, of Kansas seeks to insure more definitely that the price of crops will not be depressed to world prices, and another provides that the board may make loans to co-operative asso- ciations to pay off existing indebted- ness on physical marketing facilities. Would Fix Interest Rate. Senator Blaine, Republican, of Wis- consin proposes to eliminate the pro. vision fixing the rate of interest to be charged by the board for loans at 4 per cent and substitute a clause by which the rate would be equal to the lowest rate borne by any Government obligation issued subsequent to the first Liberty loan bonds. Senator Steck, Democrat, of Iowa has offered an amendment giving the board authority to make loans up to $25,000,000 to assist in acquiring facili- ties for the sale of corn stalks, wheat, oat and rice straw, cotton and sugar cane stalks. The loans would be payable within 20 years. FOUNDED SCHOOL. Late Dr. Isaac H. Saunders Estab- lished Danville Institution. Special Dispatch to The Star. DANVILLE, Va, May, 2—Dr. Isaac H.
