House Gets Hot Under Collar On Farm Relief
Washington May 10 Heated charges and retorts filled the house during the closing hours of debate on farm relief legislation. Representative Fort of New Jersey sparked fireworks by saying eastern interests would be defeated and western states would block eastern interests, likening it to a British general strike. Debates continued as the Haugen price stabilization bill faced amendment and two substitutes, the Tinder credit plan and the Curtis Aswell commodity marketing proposal, could be offered before final action. Begg of Ohio called the Haugen bill economically unsound and warned of a west revolt against his party if promises to farmers persisted. He urged honesty and defended the tariff as beneficial to agriculture.
