LI OPENS WAY

Administration Forces
Hold Majority in
Proceedings.
ASK QUICK ACTION
Final Approval of New
Plan to be Taken
Up Today.
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-The
way was open tonight for early
enactment of the emergency re-
lief program by Congress with
an agreement by conferees on a
compromise $45,000,000 drought
bill.
The compromise will be taken up
for final approval tomorrow as
other conferees reassemble to con-
sider differences between the Sen-
ate and the House on the emer-
gency $116,000,000 employment ap-
propriation.
Democrats Fight In Vain.
Democrats waged a determined
assault in both houses against
President Hoover's recommenda-
tions, but the administration forces
held the majority in line.
A decision of the House earlier
in the day to pare down the $60,-
000,000 Senate drought relief bill
to $30,000,000 in accordance with
the President's program was offset
by the subsequent conference.
Senate conferees yielded to the
insistence of the House to eliminate
the provision for loaning money to
farmers for the purpose of personal
food-a proposal condemned by
the administration-but gained \n
amendment to permit such loans in
cases of extreme emergency.
Coalition Loses.
The Senate defeated a move to
insist upon elimination from the
$116,000,000 employment fund the
provision giving the President the
power to allocate the money as he
saw fit. A coalition of Democrats
and Republican Independents who
fought this provision lost, 42 to 39.
The compromise on the drought
relief measure will go first to the
House tomorrow, Chairman Mc-
Nary of the Senate agriculture com-
mittee, who was in charge of the
conference, hopes it will be enact-
ed before the end of the week.
The language inserted to permit
loans for food in cases of extreme
emergency provides that the secre-
tary of agriculture may make loans
not onlyfor feed and fertilizer but
for other purposes "incident to
crop production."
Unsuccessful efforts were made
by Democrats in the Ilouse to ob-
tain favorable action on the Senate
measure, but the Republican lea-
dership held rank and file in line
and substituted the administration
program baring loans for food by
225 to 147.

'By Associated Press)
GUATEMALA CITY, Dec. 18.-
Guatemala had its third govern-
ment within a week today after an
hour of brisk fighting in the streets
of the capital Tuesday afternoon,
in which 57 persons were killed or
wounded.
The new president is Gen. Man-
uel Orellana, who says he will serve
only until Gen. Lazaro Chacon, the
elected president, has recovered
from a severe illness and cerebral
hemorrhage. Baudilio Palma, who
was designated to succeed Gen.
Chacon by the council of minis-
ters last week, is understood to be
a refugee at the German legation.
The city and country are quiet
and it is believed that completely
normal conditions will be restored
by tonight.
Recognition Likely
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-For the
fourth time within a few months
the state department was con-
fronted today with the prospect of
recognizing a Latin-American re-
gime set up by forces of arms. Of-
ficials were studying today wheth-
er the new Guatemalan govern-
ment could be considered the rul-
ing faction in that country.
Extensive commercial interests of
the United States in Guatemala
made it appear unlikely that the
United States would withhold for
long its recognition of any regime
prepared to fulfill international ob-
ligations and in control by the will
of the people.
CANCER MAGAZINE
WILL BE RELEASED
Latest Developments in Field
of Research Made Public.
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-The latest
development in cancer in m o r e
than two-score scientific institu-
tions in seven countries were made
public today.
They are summarized in the con-
tents of the first issue of the Amer-
ican Journal of Cancer, now in
press, a publication designed to
cover the entire field of cancer.
This, it is stated in the summary,
was not possible previously in th<
United States because of the pro-
hibitive expense of printing the
lengthy papers with the colored il-
lustrations which make them use-
ful to physicians.
Funds for the new venture were
supplied by the chemical founda-
tion of which Francis P. Garvan o:
New York, is president, as part o:
a plan to facilitate national co.

the total given the board thus far
to $400,000,000, and it plans to ask
for the remaining $100,000,000 of
the $500,000,000 authorized for use
in the next fiscal year. The fund
approved today is for immediate
use in 'stabilization co-operative

tions.
Testifying before the House ap-
propriations committee for the ad-
dition funds, Chairman Legge said
the board was making some prog-
ress in bringing about relief.

son of increased demand for cur-
rency with a smaller volume of in-
debtedness to the reserve banks
than at any time since 1917.
The federal reserve board made
this announcement today in its
monthly review and said the sys-
tem was in an exceptionally strong
position to meet the demand.
It reported a decrease in demand
for reserve bank credit that reflect-
ed a slack demand for currency due
in part to "the decrease in payroll.
disbursement by factories, and to
the continued decline in commod-
ity prices."
The board reported that changes
in monetary gold have not been
large during the period from July
to November either this year or,
on the advance, for the preced-
ing seven years.
