Expect Ex'Governor To Appear Before Farm Group. Wuhinrtoa Bureau Kock bland Arsus. Washington. Dec. 21.

In advance of hearings scheduled to start soon after Jan. 1 before the house committee on agriculture on the new farm relief bill introduced in the senate by Senator McNary of Oregon, a boom for former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois for president in 1928. has been carried to the floor of the house. Representative L.

J. Dickinson of Iowa, former chairman of the defunct farm bloc in the house and prime backer of the pending bill, declared here today he expected former Governor Lowden to appear before the house committee in support of the measure which is out of line with President Coolidge's recent message to congress. Dickinson made the first reference on the floor of the house to the Lowden boom in reply to a question from Representative Edgar Howard, Democrat, of Nebraska, who suggested that the former governor who is 66 years of age, is "too old to be a candidate for president" In response to the Interruption. Dickinson gave the opinion that "age, with good health, is not nearly so serious a handicap in a candidacy for president as trying to exceed the eight years' limit that has been fixed by precedent in previous years on presidential candidates." Dickinson said today that he "did not speak for Lowden" In urging his availability as a candidate against President Coolidge but predicted that the former governor will have the support of farm leaders in many of the Republican states in the middle west who are backing the McNary bill at the present session. Administration leaders in the house frowhed on Dickinson's mention of presidential polftics in connection with farm relief, but declared today they have informed Chairman Haugen of the house committee on agriculture the farm relief bill will be given precedence over other pending legislation as soon as it is reported to the floor.

While the outlook for passage of the revised McNary-Haugen bill in the house is regarded as more favorable than at the last session its opponents insist that the measure will fail in the senate, where in substantially the same form it met defeat six months ago. Fess Gives Views. Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, who sponsored an administration substitute at the last session, takes the view that the new bill offered by Senator McNary is subject to the same objections which were made against the original measure and indicated today he will oppose It as "price-fixing" legislation, tending to "put the government in the business of marketing farm products." Advocates of the bill are in a majority on the committee in both the senate and the house which will handle the legislation, and are in a position to bring the bill to early consideration in both branches. It is foreseen, however, the debate will be protracted and with much Important legislation pending in senate and house supporters of the bill fear a filibuster which might prevent a final vote before adjournment of congress, March 4.

In the event the bill is not passed, farm relief advocates declare they will ask President Coolidge to call an extra session of congress to assemble early next spring. Senators and representatives from eastern states as far west as Ohio are standing solidly against the pending bill on the ground that it proposes unsound measures for farm relief, but its supporters claim new recruits from southern Democrats who have been influenced on account of depression in the cotton market to Join With the corn belt and the stock-raising sections of the west on behalf of relief legislation. WOMAN HELD ON CHECK CHARGES Springfield, 111., Dec. 21. (By the Associated Press.) Mrs.
