Senate Overrides Hoover on Farm Debenture Plan Vote
The Senate defeated President Hoover by voting 47 to 44 to retain the export debenture plan in the farm relief bill. The plan would issue certificates to exporters of surplus crops, with two cents per pound for cotton, and could be used to pay import duties. The measure faced strong opposition from Hoover and the House, and its fate now hinges on a conference committee.
