Hoover declines to entreat senate on farm relief debenture plan
Washington May 6 40 President Hoover refused to issue a veto threat or statement on the debenture clause in the farm relief bill. Administration leaders hoped such a move might rally wavering Republican votes to block the provision and save the program from embarrassment. They warned Hoover such interference would intrude on congress and risk upsetting the Senate. Leaders feared the debenture amendment could pass by a narrow margin unless a midwestern Republican shifts stance. The vote was expected late tomorrow or Wednesday as focus shifted to the house and the tariff bill.
