President Knight refused to divulge the secret. eaten to force the’ bill into House for consideration. The measure was before the two houses, but there was much dis- agreemnt between the bills and much confusion as to details. The government reorganization propo- sals and the Seven Regional T. V. A.’s were. apparently, quiet- ly sleeping. Other issues attracted attention, including the preliminary discus- th for —— to modify and delay the bills, The explanation appar- ently lies in the fact that farmers and laborers generally believe that they can get what they want and in the division which exists among both groups as to what they want. The farm bill is criticized on es- sential points by farm organiza- tions and the support of labor is not unanimously behind the other bill. While the President and Administration officials are in- sisting upon favorable action for both measures, the insurgent spirit in Congress is strong. The Labor and Farm blocs know from past experience that whenever they make up their minds to se- cure special legislation for labor- {ers atid farmers, the votes in Con- | gress will be available. Secretary Wallace appeared be- fore the House Rivers and Har- bors Committee to testify in be- half of the Regional Conservation bill which would establish seven planning zones based on the coun- jtry’s principal watersheds for con- |servation, flood control and hy- idve-electric power development. |Mr. Wallace emphasized the first purpose “of formulating compre- hensive plans for the conservation of natural and human resources” sion of tax revision, although ;and held that the generation and legislation along this line is not jdistribution of hydro - electric expected until January.
