(AP) Under the fresh impetus of Herbert Hoover's campaign promises, congressional agricul tural leaders today laid plans to begin once more the formllatlon of farm relief legislation. Chairman McNary and Haugen of the senate and house agricul ture committees, respectively, the authors of the twice vetoed Mc- Nary-Haugen measure, announced today they would summon their committees to begin hearings on a farm bill about the middle ot March. Senator'' McNary declared inten tion to get a bill In shape for pres entation to the senate , on -the opening day of the extra session to be called In April by Herbert Hoover for consideration of agri culture relief and tariff revision. Awaiting a signal from Mr.J Hoover in his inauguration ad dress on his farm relief ideas, neither of the committee chief tains was ready to announce a program. The president-elect na not disclosed his views In this re gard pending conferences with McNary and Haugen. However, it seems certain that the republican leaders will not agal apropose the equalization fee principle which caused a stubborn conflict between President Coo- lidge and congress and resulted in his vetoing: the last two farm bills sent to him.
