Mellon Question Tightens Around Secretary Mellon
Washington May 6 President Hoover faces a tight test as Congress enters week four of the special session. The Senate prepares a vote on farm relief and on Secretary Mellon while the House moves to reveal details of a new tariff bill. Administration whips work to secure a majority against a tariff bounty amendment and to reassure Mellon on his future despite an 8 to 7 Judiciary Committee vote finding Mellon’s stock holdings not a disqualifier for continued service.

The measure would be released tomorrow after the stock market closes and reportedly raises rates from historic Republican protective levels. A 5 009 word committee report will accompany the bill. The Senate farm bill debate neared closure as administration polls showed support dip on the debenture clause, with passage anticipated once that clause is removed.
