J C Shaw of Mercedes and Mr. Ewing Congress Takes Day Off After Strenuous| Week of Arguments WASHINGTON. June 8 — 4' — Hoping to start a reel vacation in the near future, congress decided not to work today. With the farm rebel bill before the senate for final action and the census - reapportionment measure in conference for adjustment of minor differences. leaders went ahead with plans looking to an early adjournment Those plans depend chiefly upon the success of efforts to obtain an agreement for a senate vote on the tariff bill about mid-October and the failure of export debenture ad vocates to hold together a suffi cient majority in that chamber to bring about a deadlock with the house on the farm bill. The senate democrats have been called to confer on the tariff vote proposal Monday, and apiiarently are willing to accede to the repub lican leaders' wishes, if. in the words of their own leader. Sen ator Robinson of Arkansas, they are assured "reasonable time for a discussion of all amendments that may be offered ’ An agreement fixing a time for a vote on the tariff bill, on which hearings will be started Wednes- I day by the senate finance commit- j tee. will require a two-thirds ma- , Jority. If the democrats decide to support the move, the strongest opposition thus far indicated will j be float of republican independents. Senator Robinson, meanwhile, is leading the opposition to accept ance of the joint conference re port on the farm relief legislation which recommends elimination of ! the export debenture proposal voted by the senate. 47 to 44 over vigor ous administration objections That report was accepted bv the hou.se with little debate and was made the order of business in the senate today at the request of its pilot. Chairman McNary of the ag riculture committee and the joint conference committee, displacing the proposal of Senator Nye re publican. North Dakota, to bring repeal of the national origins clause of the immigration act before the chamber. Presenting a revised farm bill regarded as acceptable to Presi dent Hoover, action on the report is not expected until next week Senator Robinson has announced his intention to try to force a house vote on the debenture plan, a move which administration leaders of that chamber have thus far suc cessfully blocked through its rep resentatives in the joint confer ence negotiations. The census-reapportionment bill ! contained none of the potentialities of controversy between the senate and house which characterized the farm bills passed by those cham bers. and the. joint conference committee which was called upon today to adjust the minor differ ences caused by house amendments had a relatively simple, short task.

ROBISON CALLS 'Continued from page one * ed by a majority of the house on grounds that the entire bodv should hear the testimony io be capable of voting on the charge; when the times comes to determine if they shall be sent to the senate for im i>eachrnent trial. It was believed at first that tho hearing in the house would bo sim plified by use of the question and answer transcript of tne proceed ings before the joint committee which investigated the general land office during the regular session in considering the charges. Attorneys for Robison issued sub I>oenas for witnesses in 4*5 coun ties. most of them in West Texas, where the public school lands are situated Many of the charges re sulted from his reappraisement of these lands and his administration of a fund created by an assessment of one cent an acre against pur chasers of public lands It was reported that many of Mr Robison's friends from West Texas were coming to Austin voluntarily to assist him in any way they could Dayton Moses and former Fen Lloyd Price of Fort Worth. F F. Smith of Austin will represent, Mr Robison "To substantiate my charges, the number of persons called upon to testify will be only a fractional part of those which Commissioner Robl - son has subpoenaed.” he said Aoppoint Board Woodruff said that Monday he would ask Speaker Barron to ap point a board of five* composed of attorneys serving In the house, to assist special prosecutors in the questioning of witnesses and the as sembling of testimony. The tward also would be charged with prepara tion of articles of impeachment should any of the 20 charges pre ferred against Commissioner Robi son be upheld. The Decatur legislator said he be lieved it would not be necessary to go outside the record compiled during an investigation of the land office by the sjiecial senate-house commuter to back up his charges but that if it became necessary to bring additional evidence before the house, other acts of incompetence and irregularity could be bared.
