Major Differences Exist
Between Senate and
House Legislation
WASHINGTON. Dec. 18 (AP)
Senate passage of the "ever-normal
granary" bill shunted to a
small group of legislators today
the problem that congress has
been unable to solve in four
weeks of debatehow best to
help the farmer.
A joint committee of senators
and representatives f aces the
task of reconciling major differ
ences between the senate mea
sure and a crop control bill pre
viously passed by the house.
The senate approved the farm
bill last night 59 to 29.
McAdoo Proposal Almost Wins
The measure narrowly escaped
the ash heap when proponents of
the McAdoo price-fixing farm
program came within six votes
of substituting their bill for the
"ever-normal granary" proposal.
The vote was 40 to 411.
The granary program, em
bodying some of he
Secretary Wallace. is -designed
to adjust the supplies of farm
commodities to the demand,
thus eliminating surpluses and
lifting prices.
The senate bill provides strict
er controls over the farmer than
does the house measure and
levies more stringent penalties
for violations of its provisions.
Agree On Soil Conservation
Marketing quotas under the
senate measure would go into
effect earlier than those in the
house bill. because the former
would impose quotas when sup
plies of commodities are smaller.
The senate program would re

of the Beartooth forest wilds
while five persons strove futilely
to stop the struggle that brought
death to one of the deer.
Ben (Pack Saddle) Greenough,
one of the internationally known
"riding Greenough" of the
rodeo, threw a noose around the
horns of the battling bucks yes

But the animals thrashed the
underbrush, cut furrows in the
ground with their hooves and
twisted their entangled heads.
all the while trying to deliver the
death thrust.
Finally the older and larger
of the bucks, exhausted and his
throat and flanks slashed, sank
on his haunches in the death
throes.
The victor darted into the forest.

Administration Gets Set

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 (IP)
A climactic house rebellion whit
shelved the wage-hour bill check
mated administration leaders to
day in their efforts to push through
much of the Roosevelt program
before adjournment next week.
In a tense, overtime session,
the house sent the battered mea

last night despite an appeal from
Majority Leader Rayburn (1)-Tex.)
that such a step would mean "the
death of wage-hour legislation."
The 216-to-198 vote, which
dealt the administration its first
major legislative defeat since the
senate killed the Roosevelt court
bill last summer, was offset some
what by senate approval of the
other major item on the special
session programthe "ever nor
