WASHINGTON. April J3—(A*)—
With Congress ready to convene In
extra session for the primary pur
po*e of carrying out campaign prom
ise* for farm relief, the house agri
cultural committee late today turned
Its thumb* down on two farm aid pro
posals ’long advoacted at the capital—
the debenture export plan and the
twice vetoed equalisation fee princi
pal '
The committee voted 17 to 4 against
Incorporation In the new farm meas
ure of the debenture plan, supported
by the National Orange and then a few
minutes later expressed Ita disappro
val of an attempt to revise these pro
posals l»-the house. #
At the Senate side of the capital
little sentlmeut has been manliest for
revising the controversy over the fee
principal, hut tonight some doubt ex
isted as to what position might be
taken on the debenture plan which has
found favor there In the eyes of muny.
WASHINGTON. April 11 Par
