It was said tonight boUi bills might be passed this week. A unanimous vote for the Capper bill was predicted by its friends, but considerable criticism was promised for the complimentary credits measure, the Lenroot-Anderson bill, providing for federal subscription to credit depart ments, under the farm loan system, of 160,000,000 'capital. The senate took action which was said to mean defeat of the. Norris bill proposing a government corporation to handle agricultural products. Senator Xorris.

republican. Nebraska, demanded that his bill, whiwh was reported seve eral weeks before the farm credit legislation, be taken up first. His motion, however, was defeated, 53 to 19. Mr. Norris said the defeat meant the loss of his b(hl.

but added that he expected to support both credit measures. Ten democrats and nine republicans the latter principally of the progressive wing voted to give nrece- dence to the Xorris bill. Thirty-eight republicans and 13 democrats opposed the Xorris motion. Speeches on the credits legislation were made today by Chairman McLean, of the banking committee, which reported the two credits bills. Senator Capper, republican.

Kansas, chairman of the senate farm bloc, and Senator Heflin, democrat, Alabama.

Senator Capper said: "It carries with It the approval of the cooperative marketing associations, of the national associations representing the cattle and sheep industry, of the secretary of the treasury, the War Finance Corporation, and of the Federal Reserve Board.

It represents what can be accomplished Immediately, without controversy and upon sound and constructive lines." Reading of the Capper bill for committee amendments was almost complete today. Senator Fletcher, democrat Florida, during the discussion, suggested reduction of the authorized by the bill for each cooperative agricultural association. The cooperative credit feature of the Capper bill wss stressed by Chairman McLean and Senator Capper, both of whom cited the success of Cslifornla cooperative associations. Chairman McLean also discussed at length the credit deflation and price reduction after the war and contended they not caused by the Federal Reserve Board or the present system. Mr.

McLean's statements were denied by Senator Heflin, who said "deadly deflation" Inspired hy Wall street had been "the most diabolical crime ever perpetrated against a free people." Fifteen thousand he asserted, have, committed suicide because of losses from the alleged credit deflation policy, and he rave notice that efforts would be made to amend the pending bills to prevent passage of measures "not worth the paper they sre written on." Senator McLean said wider markets and lower freight rates were greater needs of the farmer than credit extension.
