WASHINGTON, June 12 ( AP)
To the house apparently is left tho
task of untangling the legislative
snarl which President Hoover's
special session of "congress has
created over the question ot farm
relief.
Flaunting the views of the presi
dent ngainst tho export debenture
plan, which ho characterized as n
subsidy, the senate has Insisted on
Inserting that provision Into tho
pending measure, even over the
emphatic opposition, of the house
administration leaders.
Some of tho senato opposition to
. . : 71, ,
house had never had a roll call
Vote on tho proposition and last
night, at a White House conference
an agreement was reached to have
that branch of congress formally
record itself, perhaps tomorrow.
Coalition Victorious
To that extent at least, the ftor.-
l(,.(iiiiitw.. . , . .
stood victorious today over tho op-.
(position of M) Hoover. "
. Tho action of tho senate In sus
taining tho debenture plan resulted '
In a quick and vigorous retaliation
from the White House. No. less
emphatic than In his previous dec
larations, (the (president asserted
Jibe vote "adds further delays to .
mrm renoi ana may grave iy joop
ardlze" the enactment of tho legis
lation. .
Friends of tho bill nre now await
ing the house vote In the hope that
tho action of that body will clarify
tho atmosphere and allow the pro
gram outlined by Mr. Hoover In
calling tho special session to go
forward.
White Ho UM Meeting
Tho agreement to bring tho Is
sue lo a vole In tho houso was
reached at a Whllo House confer
ence In si night after the senate had
rejected the Joint conference report
recommending elimination of the
debenture section.
Tho White House meeting, at
tended hy republican leadors of
both branches of congress, was
called after the president had
made public a statement reiterat
ing his opposition to tho deben
ture plan. 1
Senate democratic leaders today
regarded the decision to bring the
debenture plan to a vote In the
I boiist virtually as a complete vic
tory for their contention. Senator
Hobiusun of Arkansas, tho demo
cratic leader, asserted that, "If the
house takes a vote and rejects tho
debenture plan, its advocates In tho
senate will ho constrained to yield
and the bill will be passed with de
bentures eliminated."
Hoover Issues Statement
The senate vote on rejection of
tho report was 4'! to 43. as com
pared with 47 to 44 at the timo tho
plan was written into the hill uftor
