Still carrying the equalization fee provision opposed by President Coolldge in vetoing the McNary Hangen measure last year, the new bill does meet many of tbe objections of the president, in the opinion of Senator McNary, re publican, Oregon, its co-author. It was shot Into the senate while the house agricultural com mittee was wrangling along on its fifth week of hearings over an si most identical measure sponsored by Representative Haugen, repub lican, Iowa, but there was no In dication from Chairman McNary of the agriculture committee or from senate leaders as to how early It would be pressed to a vote. Senate farm leaders had hoped the house committee would act first on farm relief but the Mc Nary-Haugen opposition there re sisted stubbornly. Turning to the senate committee, advocates of the bill won a quick battle. With out previous bearings, time was taken only to permit authors of other farms measures to explain their bills, members of the com mittee present voted unanimously to nut the new McNary measure up to the senate.
