Ti,E EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, ~D. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1931. HOOVERS PROGRAM APPROVAL 1 SEEN Most of Economic Legislation Is Expected to Be Passed After Probes. By the Associated Press. Much of President Hoover's domestic economic program now seems destined for ultimate approval in Congress, al- though a tedious period of thorough irvestigation is ahead This prospect does not' extend neces- sarily to all his economic proposals, nor to the tax increase plan, which must Tun a gauntlet of tremendous opposition by the Democratic forces, the Republi- can independents of the Senate and others The new $500,000,000 reconstruction corporation proposed by Mr. Hoover is one of the measures seeming to carry enough favor for vietory. talization of Federal land banks and the revision of the national bank laws. A definite stand, however, has de- veloped sgainst the recommendation for liberalizing in the emergency the Fed- eral Reserve System's rules for dis- counting of paper, Moratorium Triumphs. ‘Turning to foreign affairs, triumph over some opposition was seen for the one-year moratorium proposal. More light upon the attitude of Congress on this rested in its reception today of the tPrasldenL‘S message asking its ratifica- jon. Bills were before both branches to carry out every important recommen- dstion in the Hoover annual message, but there was no rush to get them en- acted. In the Senate Banking Com- mittee leaders insisted upon placing the reconstruction corporation plan in a subcommittee for deliberate study, em- bracing an inquiry into opgration of the vcluntary $500,000,000 Credit Corpora- tion formed by banks at the President’s suggestion. Some of the other points already have consent of congressional leaders, expressed at the bi-partisan conference held in October at the White House. Eenator Glass of Virginia, the Demo- cratic spokesman on banki - tion, however, is one of the leaders in opposing changes in the Federal Reserve Bystem. The House has not yet formed the commiitees needed to work on most of the legislation. Its appropriation group, however, is ready to bite into the $4,000,000,000 budget. Chairman Byrns proposed to get subcommittees named &nd organ before the week end, 50 as to get the big appropriation bills rolling. President’s Plan Debated. Meanwhile & eontinuation of the gen- eral debate on the dential plan marked House proceed! for a second day, with a chance for continuing the Democratic-Republican exchi on party policies, responsibility for the present economic situation and prophe- cies on the outcome of the 1932 presi- dential campaign. Under cover of the oratory the Demo- eratic leaders gave serious attention to the alternative plan with which they roposed to supplant the Hoover-Mel- fnn tax program. It probably wili not come out for some time, as the Senate- House Program Committee of the party is not yet ready to draw it.
