Washington April 24 Enthusiastic administration forces in the Senate pressed for an early vote on the inflation mortgage farm relief bill. A conservative Republican minority threatened to block final action until Wednesday in a bid to rally opposition to empowering the President to expand the currency by up to 14 billion dollars.
