TARIFF Bill
r FACES SLASH
—
Democrat-Republican Inde
pendent Group Plan
Rewriting
WASHINGTON. June 18.—
The possibility was held out to con
gress today that the tariff measure
may be rewritten in the senate by
the democratic-republican indepen
dent group which twice overrode
President Hoover In the farm relief
contest and that it may be rewritten
with a view to confining revision
principally to agricultural products
The group has shown Its strength
anew in its support of the resolu
tion of Senator Borah, republican.
Idaho, which proposed to instruct
the finance committee to discard
the house tariff bill and limit revi
sion to agricultural and related
products and was defeated by a
margin of only one vote—233 to
38 That vote left the republican
.majority of the finance committee
[free today to proceed with rewrit
ing of the house bill as it sees fit
for the next two months, but It
made clear that the whole task will
be gone over again after the meas- j
tire is taken up In the senate
The recess was proposed by Sen
ator Watson of Indiana. remiMtcan
leader, at the end of one of the hot
test days of the summer, and the
first overwhelming vote in the sen
ate at. this session was forthcoming
Only 12 republicans and 11 demo
crats voted scainst It.
Here** Assured
The quick ssork of both the house
and senate In enacting the appro
priation of $151,000,000 asked by Mr
Hoover to carry out the new farm
relief act assured the recess Within
a few hours after the president had
submitted the estimate for the ap
propriation yesterday, the amount j
| was available—one of the speediest j
'legislative transactions tnvolvngl
such a sum in many a day.
The recess Is lust long enough to
rover the time the finance commit
tee Is estimated to need for its work
on the tariff bill. Determined to .
get the tariff bill through the sen- |
ate and out of conference with the
house before the regular session
opens in December, administration
leaders Insisted that no longer than
twt) months be given over to the
recess
The Borah vote shows what a cor -
test ts In prospect when the tariff
bill does get before the senate Only
seven democrats voted against the
Idahoan while 13 republicans joined
the democrats.
Hoover Balked
The vote brought almost the same
lineup which combined for a ma
jority in the two bV’ots favorable

Down a long hall is the drawing
room
Mrs Gann looks lovely in a shad
ed lavender gown of soft crepe.
But the most wonderful thing
about Mrs. Gann ts her poise. I
never have seen anyone more per
fectly natural.
Distinguished personages are there
—the wives and daughters, the sis
ters and his cousins and the visitors |
within the gates of the capital"s
diplomats and members of the cabi
net and of the senate and the house
of representatives—writers, too; and
guests in Washington from far
away. Also there is a sprinkling of
their menfolk, though, of course,
the feminine contingent greatly pre
dominates—as is to be expected at
an afternoon “at home.”
Of stilted officialdom there is not
a trace in the atmosphere. These
guests are here because they genu
inly like Mrs. Gann and her broth
er, the vice president. They have
come because they wanted to come
—anything but as a matter of mere
duty.
Mrs Gann moves with grace
among them.
She addresses each guest by name
to the debenture farm relief plan
to which Mr Hoover vras so opposed
It was not disclosed to what extent
Mr Hoover's views on the attempt
to limit the tariff revision were
known, but when Senator Jones, re
publican. Washington, proposed the
very language used by the president
in his message to the extra session
as an amendment broadening the
Isn't it wonderful.” as one of them
remarked to me, "how she remem- !
bers everyone?”
A memory for names and faces is
supposed to be one of the gifts of
a politician, but Mrs. Gann is no
politician—not in the sense that she .
is trying to serve any political in
terest. She remembers people be
cause they are her friends—and
we recognize our friends when we
see them without the necessity for
any mntal filing cabinet.

She has a few intimate words for

As the new arrivals enter, those
who have come earlier take their
departure.
The whole environment is "hom

motif. It runs all through Mrs
