The crisis In the negotiations over the Polish-Lithuanian contro versy was supremely dramatic as described by those present at to day's secret session of the council when the Baltic quarrel, In the view of the council members, was liquidated.

The new measure contains the controversial equalization fee pro vision objected to by tho presi dent us unconstitutional In vetoing the original bill as n means of raising funds to meet the cob! of marketing surplus crops.

Hut other adminis tration leaders seemed to doubt that tho president would find It possible to approvo the equaliza tion fee even In modified form.
