rEDFCVRD MATL TRTBTTXE. ArEPFORD. OTfEnOX. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 3. 1PPJ. PAOE FIVE Livestock THIRD WEEK END IT Debate On Farm Bill Con tinues at Slow Pace Borah Lashes Measure As Completing Bureau Reign WASHINGTON. Dec. 8. (AP) Oongreu neared the end of the third week of Its special session today without completing any part of Presi dent Roosevelt's program. Debate on the farm bill continued at a leisurely pace in both chambers, causing house leaders to abandon hope of a final vote there this week end. Nor was the conclusion of talk oy senators In sight. Senator Borah (D., Idaho) unleashed his oratory against the bill at the opening of the day's session. In a lengthy speech, he said the mpasure would complete 'bureau cratic control" over farmers ana would entail "the reduction of crops at a time when there are millions of hungry and needy persons In the country." New Fight for Wage Bill. Backers of the wage-hour bill, a second Item on the president's spec ial session program, 'began a new fight to save the mrasure from re vision. Critics were plotting to mod ify or defeat It. A house subcommittee, meanwhile, considered a constitutional amend ment or act of congress to permit federal taxing of $14,854,000,000 01 state and municipal secutitels and stste and local levies on $35,548,000. 000 of federal issues. At present, state' and local securi ties are exempt from federal taxa tion and federal securities cannot be levied upon by the states and locali ties. In the off-the-floor discussions of the wage-hour bill, one group dis closed It would try to strike all geographical differentials from the measure, a goal which would inten sify the atready heated north-south conflict over the measure. Senators Ellender (D., La.) and McQlll (D.. Kansas.) contended tne farmer already was required to com ply with land use requirements to obtain soil conservation payments, and would therefore be under no additional compulsion. t' It As Club. "It's contrary to public Interest," Borah Insisted. "You're going to use It as a club to drive the farmer Into this program." He said the senate bill amounts to government "black mall" of farmers who do not comply with the projected agricultural con trol program. "Crop control and the philosophy of reduction In the midst of plenty originated In the previous adminis tration." Borah shouted. "Mr. Hoover was the author 01 that. He was the first man in the history of the United States In the history of the world to propose scarcity as a cure for economic ills. "If there Is any glory In this philosophy which we now are enact ing Into law. that glory must be shared with the previous president of the United States." 1 Portland PORTLAND. Ore.. Dec. 3. (AP) (U.
