sured an early opportunity for the
House as a whole to vote on the Ful
mer bill to use 40,000,000 bushels of
Farm Board wheat and 500,000 bales
of cotton for the destitute.
The Senate Agriculture Committee
decided to sanction the McNary re
solution which boosts the wheat to
be made available to 50,000.000 bushels
The wheat already allotted amounts
to 40.000.000 bushels, most of which
has been usfd.
A preferred legislative status In the
House also was voted for the Senate
bill allowing the Reconstruction fin
ance Corporation to make loana for
crop planting and cultivation.
And in the Senate the Democratic
leader, Robinson of Arkansas, warn
ed he was ready to invoke dPastlc pro
cedure to get the Senate tomorrow to
take up the emergency t3oo.UUO.UOO
for loans to states to help the unem
ployed.
Chairman Rci-d of the military com
mittee had refused to be a party to
a unanimous consent agreement to
take the maesut up then, pending
disposition of the army supply bill.
Then It was that Robinson served
notice he would move to consider the
proposition to morrow if tbe army ap
propriation Is not approved by that
time.

Chairman Jones, of the Agriculture
Committee, is seeking a rule allow
ing early disposition of the bin, testi
fied to those who could grant the
rule that the cotton called for can be
used to make clothing for the jobless,
under agreement with cotton mills.
