Friday april 5, 1929 Fen pages number 156 special session tests hoovers e mos. Though outnumbered will Battle Tariff and farm plans principal causes Foi words and Maneu vers limitation Factor Washington. A c., april 5�? up a the special session of Congress promises to provide an Early test of strength of the Hoover policies on at least two major subjects and possibly others. The first test will come on farm Relief which with the Tariff will de discussed by the new executive in a message to the Congress probably the second Day it meets. While or. Hoover has his own ideas on this subject revolving principally around better marketer g facilities the democrats in Congress Are threatening to raise an old Issue by reviving a plan closely resembling the equalization tee. The republicans with increased majorities in both hours�?15 in the Senate and too in the House see Little Chance of any such minority program being adopted but they apparently will have to face a fight just the same. The Tariff will Supply another test for the president. He wants the rate changes outside the agricultural Section limited to a few schedules where economic shifts prove them to be necessary. Republican leaders have pledged to Back him up on this but they admit they Are tackling a difficult Tak. Still another test not so important As the others will be afforded by the Effort of the Republican leadership to limit the session to consideration of farm Relief and the Tariff. The democrats and even some republicans Are opposed to such restriction and Are prepared to offer Ather Bills. These however. Would develop in the Senate for the House has taken advantage of its rules and prepared to organize Only those committees needed to the twin subjects. Representative Vandenberg. Republican of Michigan would like to have the Senate pass upon the House reapportionment Bill. The House is ready to consider such a Bill. Provided the Senate acts first. Should the squabble Over the rational origins clause of the immigration act remain unsettled by the time the special session starts it. Too. May be injected into the proceedings. Hoover favors repeal president Hoover favor repeal of the clause but under the Law it will go into effect july i unless Congress postpones the Date. The effect of the provision would be to Cut Down immigration by about 15.-00 a year and increase the numbers allowed entry from England and discriminate against Germany and other countries. Interest will not be entered alone on legislation at the coming session. Many new personalities will be on the congressional stage Tor the first time and several Veteran members will be higher roles. The Senate will have a n a a presiding officer and majority Vader in former senator Curtis of Kansas and senator Watson of Indiana. Robinson of Arkansas will be at his old Post As minority Leader. The Republican leadership in the House will be the same with of Ohio wielding the speakers Gavel for his third term and Tilton of Connecticut again serving in his Cao Acito As majority Leader. The democrats however. Will have a new floor Leader in representative Garner of Texas who begins his fifteenth term at the opening of the seventy first Congress. Look to Garner Garner will retain his Post As ranking Democrat on the important ways and Means committee. He is looked upon As spokesman for the minority on All financial matters and his voice undoubtedly will be heard time and again during the debates on the new Tariff Bill. Seven new senators will make their Bow at the session and 70 new members will be among the entire membership to be Given the oath in the House thre of them women All ruths Ruth Baker Pratt Republican. New York Ruth Hanna Mccormick. Republican. Illi Nois. A Ruth Bryon Owen Democrat. Florida. Another new member is Oscar de priest negro of Illinois. Strength Tariff talk is anything but Concrete the special session of the seventy first Congress is e expected to Deal chiefly with the major subjects of farm Relief and Tariff revision. Representative Van Denberg Republican of Michigan upper right wants consideration also of a Bill to re apportion membership p of the House. Senator Watson Indiana lower right will take his place As Leader of the Senate majority forces. The House majority leadership is unchanged but democrats will be marshalled by a new i Cader representative Garner lower left of Texas.

General sentiment however Sullivan says is for revision upward waiting on Hoover by Mark Sullivan Washington d. C., april 5�?the atmosphere in which Tariff revision is being approached cannot be described As concretely one thing or another. It is an atmosphere out of which almost any course could crystallize. There Are two approaching events either of which might establish the nature of the revision. One is the Bill that is now being written by the ways and Means committee. It is being written so to speak in executive ses son which Means without Public knowledge of just what rates Are being made or what else is being done when the completed draft of the proposed Bill is made Public it Mav fix the direction the whole Tariff discussion will take. The other event that May have determining influence is the presidents message on the opening of Congress. That May set the key fix the direction and otherwise largely determine what will be done. May take and turn the whole present situation is one in which Able leaders who know their own minds can give almost any turn to the Tariff revision. Few members of Congress in their Ner Schnal conversations reveal anything other than vague convictions and preferences. Most of them could be swung by almost any Strong tide or Able Leader. The combative argumentative mood common to All previous Tariff revisions. Is lacking from the present one. In a mite general Way. The Strong tendency is toward revision upward. In All preliminary talk so far the writer has not heard of and schedule item or article As to which it is proposed that the re should be revision Down Avard. The Only weighty mention of the phrase a revision Down my Ards has come from one democratic congressman Hull of Tennessee. His use of the phrase was tentative and was surrounded by qualifications.

Many proposals made a few weeks ago by interests wishing either Protection or higher Protection Are not now taken seriously. Smile at Oil request the most recent expression of the extreme Protection View came from the West and was about Petroleum. A chamber of Commerce in a Western cite passed a Resolution favouring a duty on Oil. Us hich we Ould amount to about fifty percent of the prevailing Price of that commodity.

This Campaign again found mrs. Long at his Side. She advised and worked for his election with the same Zeal and enthusiasm shown getting him through Tulane. Political factions split in the heat of the Campaign and Young Huey Long was swept into the governor s chair with a 40,009 plurality. But soon after taking tee oath he alienated some of his powerful politica1 allies by his official actions and some of the press began to cartoon him As a Czar.

No indications have come vet that the House will permit the Bill to become Law without Tho boost and the Senate is equally Adamant against it. Opposition to the Bill was mostly from senators from Northwest Iowa who said their counties were so far advanced in Good roads that they did not need the optional levies which would be permitted. Of while he said he did not expect any solution by Congress of the farm problem he believed the farm Board and stabilization corporations would Aid. The big Job of the farm Board he said would be to take the Lead in merging the cooperative marketing agencies to eliminate Competition among them. The Only farm Relief that can come he said must be through the slow orderly process of marketing improvement. The Farmer. Himself must largely work out ills own salvation he said. One task for the farm Board. Back to the House for withdrawal of Corey said would be to work out a sound land policy. He declared it seemed incongruous for the government on the one hand to be spending millions of dollars to bring into cultivation desert lands to produce a surplus and on the other hand to be spending other millions to avoid the consequences of that surplus.
