FARM RELIEF PLAN
. HIT BY WHEAT MEN
Federal Marketing Board
Opposed as Threatening
Present Progress.

The Senate and House agriculture
committees were called to continue
hearings today on the framing OF
legislation based on the recommends
tions Of the Presidents agricultural
conference.
On hand to resume testimony be-
fore the Senate committee were rep
resentatives of the wheat belt CO.
operatives, who told the committee
yesterday they believed creation of
a Federal cooperative marketing
board as suggested by the confer
ence would interfere with present
progress.
The action of Senator Curtis Of
Kansas, the Republican leader, in
serving notice that unless the SEN
ate committee within a reasonable
time" reported out legislation based
on the conference recommendations
he would move to take up one of
three pending bills. had brought no
indication today as to just when the
committee expected to conclude
hearings.
The House committee. meanwhile,
has directed its quest for more in
formation on the subject to the De
partment of Agriculture. After
George n. Peek, president of the
charged yesterday that Secretary
Hoover is dominating" agriculture
and urged that his activities be in
vestigated, had concluded his teSti-
mony at q session last night the COM
mittee heard Lloyd S. Tenny assist
ant chief of the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics.
Asserting that cooperative mark
citing was stable and has become
dominant in American agriculture,
Mr.. Tenny said there should be a
clear line of demarcation between the
departments work and that of the
proposed Federal board. The sum OF
s150,OO0 provided for the next fiscal
year would do all the work required
in advising co-operatives, the witness
said, adding that he wanted trained
corps of experts to sell to CO.
operatives utilization Of the depart
ment's service.
Plan Night Sessions.
Night sessions will be held by the
Senate committee, Chairman Norris
announced at the outset OF today
hearings. in an effort to prepare
a report on bills designed to carry
out the program of the PRESIDENT
agricultural conference.
The Capper-Haugen bill proposing
marketing board was before the COM
mittee, and A. A. Sykes. vice presi-
dent of the National Live Stock Pro-
ducers Association and legislative
agent of the Corn Belt Meat Pro-
ducers' Association, suggested sew
eral amendments, one of which would
add five members to the board, to be
divided among the leading farm in
dustries.
Mr.. Sykes proposed that the COM
pulsory audit of the books of CO.
operative associations be modified to
have such cheeks made on request of
any member of the association. He
pointed out that some associations al
ready are compelled to submit to
audit by other Government agencies,
and the pending bin would duplicate
the operation. Still another amend
ment suggested was designed to re-
strict the Federal Cooperative Mar
keting System to genuine co-opera-
tives."
