Capper Probable
Successor Kenyon
as Bloc Chairman

Washington. Feb. 16.-The senate
agricultural bloc. it's members de-
clared today would continue in more
or less active form despite the pend
ing resignation from the senate Of
its organizer and official chairman
Senator Kenyon of Iowa.
Bloc members, it was learned,
have been discussing privately the
organizations future, though no
meeting of the bloc has been held
and none may be held in the i'm
mediate future and the decision has
been reached by both Republican
and Democratic members for the
bloc to be continued as Senate
force.
Indications point to Senator Cap
per, Republican. Kansas. as the sue
cessor of Senator Kenyon as bloc
chairman.
In brief address in the Senate
late today Senator Ashurst of
Arizona, Il Democratic bloc member,
defended the bloc and citing the war
finance corporation law which, he
said, had been driven through Con-
gress by the bloc, declared it had
saved the agricultural industrial
during the crisis of 1920. He de-
plored Sarcastic references to the
bloc and said that no organization
had been more bitterly lampooned
and attacked.
THE bloc should be judged not
by who belongs to it, but what it has
DONE" he declared, adding that it
might have been thought because of
it's opponents that it was seeking to
destroy the country, when in fact, he
asserted. it had saved agriculture.
