WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. (AP)
Decision to call up farm relief
legislation in the house immedi
ately after disposal of the annual
supply billa was reached today by
the rules committee.
The exact date is dependent up
on progress, to e made with three
appropriation measures still to be
acted upon, but leaders regard-, it
likely that they, will be out of the
way by the middle of next week.
Chairman Haugen of the house
agricultural committee will . ask
for 10 hours general debate, to te
divided between proponents of the
McNary-Haugen bill, which will be
under discussion, and supporters
of the Curtis-Crisp bill, which
Representative Crisp, democrat,
Georgia, plans to offer as a sub
stitute. .
If the substitution move fails
the Crisp group will endeavor to
eliminate sections of the McNary
Haugen bill providing an equali
zation fee to control crop: sur
pluses and perhaps to replace
them with surplus control features
of the Curtis-Crisp bill. '
The McNary-Haugen measure
was approved by a majority of the
agriculture committee members. It
also - has been approved by , thfc
senate agriculture committee.! The
Curtis-Crisp bill failed .to emerge
from the house committee by one

rA meeting has. been called for
February 15 at Chicago, at which
the question of expanding this ex

The joint ways ahd means com'

some policy in regard to the unit
rule of reporting out a bill which
provides for .the governor to be
the state budget officer.
When this bill was first intro
duced to the committee several
objected to some of the provisions,
and. especially to that part which
gives the governor the right to
pass on all claims against tlje
state. i
Senator Strayer objected to the
bill and said "the governor's in
vestigations under the proposed
budget law should not go beyond
the legitimate functions of the
state government."
Senator Bell was insistent that
the bill should be reported out
as a ways and meais committee
measure. He intimated repeated
ly during the discussion that un
less the committee took favorable
action, he or some, other member
of the legislature would Introduce
the bill this morning.
, "Senator : Strayer , is a demo

is not in a position to be in accord
with the administration."
Senator 'Strayer took . exception!
to tne statement ny senator ueii,
and explained that he was in ac
cord with the governor, but that
he felt that some provisions of
the bill were not satisfactory.
"In event this bill is passed in
