HOOVER WORRYING OVER DEBENTURES Pian Wins Adberents—DPresi- dent’s Strength o Be Tested Washington, May 6 (—President Hoover's support in the scnate im his opposition to the export deben- ture plan of farm relief will be measured this week in terms of votes, 6 The climax of the relief debate is expected 1o come Wednesday with a vote on elfmina- tion of the debenture provision. Ace tion on the bill itself probably follow soon afterward. Although frankly concerned over the gains made by the debenture proponents among middle westerm republicans, administration leadérs calculate, after their latest check of the membership, that they have 47 votes in favor of climination ~ and the opposition only 46. Semator Caraway, democrat, Arkansas, one of the contenders for retention of |the proposal in the bill, meanwhile, claims a majority for his viewpaint, In the figures of the administra- tion leaders, two senators, both pro- ponents of the debenture plan, are I. and a third is classed as doubt- ful. The closeness of the division is cmphasized by the calculation that, if any two senators who oppose the plan agree to “pair” with the twe proponents who are ill and thus climinate themselves from the vot- ing, and if at the same time, all other members being present and voting, the doubtful senator casts his ballot with the administration group, Vice President Curtis will be called upon to break a tie. Leaders of both groups are worke ing diligently to hold their forces in line and build up their strength. Assuming that they will be able to command a full attendance, most of them concede that the tuation {hinges on the success or failure of the debenture proponents in their efforts to obtain “pairs” for thelr two colleagues who are ill and of one side or the other in winning over the doubtful member. The holding of the senate in ses- sion Saturday was not enough to |satisf all of the members who want fo express tneir views on the deben- ture issue. Half a dozen remained |10 be heard today and tomorrow be- fore Chalrman McNar of the agri- |culture comimttee, who is in charge of the emasure and believes incor- poration of the debenture provision |in the bill would lead to a presi- dential veto. can hope to bring it to la vote. | T s ' READ HERALD CLASSIFTED ADS FOR BEST RESULTS senafe farm
