Senate Farm Plan Faces House Refusal Over Debenture
Washington reports that the Senate approved an amendment by Senator Walsh to admit cooperative associations to stabilization corporations while the House presses the constitutional rule that revenue legislation originate in the House and refuses to accept the Senate farm measure. The farm bill’s debenture plan, added by the Senate, widens the split between chambers and delays final resolution. Republican leaders abandon a full summer recess and push for quick decisions on farm relief and tariff issues as Hoover faces criticism from intra party rivals.
