HOUSE SUES CORN BELT WITH STAGGERING BLOW 1 # Chances for Farm Aid Seen Slight With Haugen Bill Defeat. By Rosoop B. Fleming Times Staff Vorrrsuondent WASHINGTON, May 22.—The House struck a staggering blow it the corn- belt ami the corn belt Congressmen when it defeated the Haugen farm relief bill late Friday, 167 to 212. The only chance the House will have to pass farm relief legislation will be to wait until the Senate passes the bill which it now has before it, and which is similar to the Haugen bill, Representative i’titnell of Indiana, one of the Hang-mite leaders, said today. Both the Tincher and Aswell relief bills are still on the House calender, but Purnell predicted that net'.h >r will be brought up for a vote Neither is satisfactory to the Middle West leaders, who foyght for ;he Haugen bill. Senate Waiting The Senate has been waiting ior some time for the House to act. Monday the Senate is expected to take up its own farm relief bill, which appropriates $260,000,000 for use by a Federal board, to equalize and stabilize farm prices, with an equalization fee on crops to recompense the Government. It involves somewhat the same principles as the Haugen bill and will be as effective in allying the sentiment of the Middle West farmers. The Senate this session, more radical, than the House, is expected to pass it ; Should'it pass in its present form, as a rider to the bill the House passed earlier in the Session, providing a bureau of cooperation in the Agriculture Department, conferees in the two houses'might decide its fate. Should it be passed as a separate bill, however, it might go to the House Agricultural Committee and go through the same weary path the House bill has passed with great chances for defeat. Effects Seen If the tangle results in emasculation or defeat of the Senate bill, however, the probable effects in the mid west are most pregnantly summed up in Senator Cummins statement, on leaving the White House several days ago that, “lowa would hit every head in sight.’’ And the clatter of the farm vote clubs over the heads of Congressmen this fall would be heard to a greater or less extent in Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota and other corn states. 'Representative Purnell held a i night conference with other farm leaders and said today an attempt might be made to revive the old Dickinson bill, which was originally Introduced by the farm bloc. The plan involves “dropping overboard” the corn belt committee lobbyists who have been fighting for the Haugen plan, they said, and might involve “keeping Congress in sessions until September." The Indiana House delegation stood by its guns and its pre-primary promises and voted for the Haugen measure, which contained the equalization fee provisions demanded by the corne belt eommitte of two and

DEMAND GROWS FOR REFERENDUM ON PROHIBITION Two Senators and House Member Join Movement for Vote. Times Washinoton Bureau, t.U2 .Veto York Avenue. WASHINGTON. May 22.—Two United States Senators and a mem bor of the House of Representatives today approved tlie recommendation of Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania' that States conduct referendums in order definitely to take the prohibition question out of politics. They were Senators William C. Bruce of Maryland, Hiram Bingham of Connecticut and Representative John Phillips Hill of Maryland, leader of*the modificationists in the House of Representatives. Their approval is indicative of the rapid increasing desire of officials, regardless of parties to take the prohibition issue out of party and personal politics. It is a matter of the highest concern that there should boa referendum in every Slate where the prohibition issue has become acute, Senator Bruce said. Everything Said “I am in hearty accord with Senator Reed, and indeed I should like j to see a Nation-wide referendum. : first, because all that is to be said. I either pro or con on prohibition, has been said and forcefully, by the respective champions of both sides; and secondly, because in my judg-" ment, a distinct numerical majority of the American people are in favor of the repeal or the modification of the Volstead act.” Senator Bingham, who joips Reed in urging the referendum, is a dry, |;i former Governor of Connecticut, and one of the group of aggressive I Administration leaders in the Sen- | ate. He was an Army aviator in i Europe during the war, commanding one of the largest aviation schools overseas. "I can see no objection to refer- | endum. It seems to me like a good idea.” said Senator Bingham. "My theory of State responsibility and States rights leads me to believe ! that the general assembly of Con- | necticut did right in refusing to api prove the surrender of its right to control sumptuary legislation. A I State referendum, unaccompanied by I personalities and free from other issues would, in my mind, be most ! helpful.’ Cites Pennsylvania For several years Representative j John Philip Hill of Maryland has ! been battling for a modification of j the Volstead act. Here is what he i says: j “The prohibition issue is unques-

tionably of more interest to the people of the United States at the present time than anyone or one hundred other questions. In Pennsylvania people who have not voted in primaries for years went to the polls to vote, as they thought, against prohibition. “New York will have a referendum on prohibition at the next election. Each State should have one as soon as possible. There should be an. opportunity for a clean-cut vote on this question without complications which arise at ordinary elections. The plan of an informative State referendum, such as will he had in New York, is the best immediate remedy for conditions arising out of the Volstead act. This question is growing more insistent every day and there will be no normal elections until it is eliminated.” PLAN TO REBUILD HOME $35,000 Drive Among Catholics Authorized by Community Fund.
