Senate may fight veto of seed loans
Senator Smith and Senator Wheeler led a near party line vote to override President Roosevelt's veto on the seed and seed loan bill. They cited inability of drought area farmers and relief recipients to access loans despite $30 million set aside. The Farm Credit Administration ruling blocked loans to those receiving relief payments, affecting about 150,000 farmers. Action on the presidential veto remains a privileged matter and could come up next week.
