Dec. 14. i (AP) A new'Tarm relief bill in last year's gown altered to fill this season's demands " appeared in the senate today,, but a contro versy over whose name should grace it prevented its introduction in the house. The measure, embodying the es sential features of the McNary Haugen bill, but shorn of most of its objectlonal provisions, was of fered by Senator McXary, repub lican, Oregon, father of the bill which has weathered two years of stormy wrangling and the new chairman of the senate agricultur al committee. A- companion bill was turned over to Representative Purnell, re publican, Indiana, and Representa tive Fullmer, democrat, South Carolina, with a request from sen ate farm leaders- that they intro duce it jointly, thus indicating support from the three great farm ing regions far west, m kid lowest and south. Both Purnell and Fullmer .are members of the house agricultural committee. Meanwhile, jC hair man Haugen withheld final "approval until op portunity for further study was afforded. - "I an certalathat-8enator Mc Nary'a ibill is all that we hope for," he said, "but I wish to, study it before I give any' expression." The bill is understood to em body the latest views of a sub- stantial number of farm leaders in both houses. Representative Dickson, repub lican, of Iowa, a farm leader, said he" considered the measure the most finished piece' of legislation to ease the farm situation that could be devised. Although basically .a McXary; Haugen bill, the .new measure is different in several important re spects.

In an opinion written by Justice Rand reversing the decree of Judge C. M. Thomas ot the Jack son county circuit court in the case of the state of Oregon vs. Nona B. Heffling, the supreme court yesterday held unconstitu tional and void, that portion .of the search and seizure law, al though declaring that the remain der of the act should stand. When the husband of Nona B. Heffling was arrested in Jackson county fo" transporting liquor the automobile in which he was rid ing at the time, a Studebaker tour ing car of 1923 model, was seized. Heffling was bound over to the grand jury which' later refused to Indict him. His wife then put in hr claim, for ihe-Automobil aa owner, demanding a trial by jury to establish her claim. The jury trial was denied, as also was a motion to dismiss the case be cause -of lack of evidence, and af ter hearing testimony Judge Thomas issued an order forfeit ing the automobile to the state. "Like other property which may be and ordinarily is used for law ful purposes, an automobile is, not a nuisance per se," the opinion of the supreme court holds. ."This act, unlike the national prohibi tion act. does not declare that ah automobile or any other vehicle ir. which intoxicating liquor is be- (Continued oa pi 4.)

In other words, they are afraid that Santa Claus will not visit their home this year and so the kiddies will face a big disappointment on Christmas morn.
