Dec. 4—(U.R) Controversy over the administration’s draught and unemployment relief program developed in congress today. In a meeting of the house agriculture committee Rep. Aswell, Dem., La., charged Ixith President Hoover and Secretary of Agriculture Hyde had indicated they favored a drought relief approfiriation of $60,000,000, although the administration program now calls for only $25,000,000. The committee took no action on the bill of Chairman Haugen for a $25,000,000 seed, feed and fertilizer loan to drought-stricken farmer?, but will meet again tomorrow. Kentucky farmers will need at least sl2,doo,<HK> of the proposed seed and feed loan funds President Hoover was informed today by N. B. Nugent of Louisville, secretary of the Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation. The farmers will need an average of S3OO apiece to carry them through the next crop year, Nugent said. Aliout 60,000 Kentucky farmers will need financial assistance, he added. At the house hearing Aswell -aid today that while he had been led to believe the administration favored his $60,000,000 measure, Chairman Haugen, without consulting him. had introduced a bill received from the agriculture department cutting the appropriation to $25,000,000. "I consider this business the crookedest. cheapest, political peanut trick that has ever been thrust into my face,” the Louisiana member declared. Haugen remained silent in the face of Aswell’s bitter attack.
