COOLIDGE CHANGES STAND TO CHECK
 FARMER REVOLT
ADMlNISTRAT ACCEPTS SURPLUS PRODUCTS BILL SPONSORED
 BY GRAIN BLOC

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 12. (P)- President Coolidge and administration leaders surrendered to the demands of western farmers for crop surplus control legislation, and accepted the Surplus Products Bill, introduced in the House Monday by Repres sentative Dickinson of Iowa, leader of the farm bloc.
 Secretary of Agriculture Jardine, speaking for the administration an- nounced his approval in principle of the bill, altho the administration had carefully ignored this measure until the farmer revolt developed in mid west.
 The Dickinson bill is the outgrowth of recent farm conferences at Des Moines to which President Coolidge sent telegram praising farm relief legislation, but opposing anything in the nature of government price fixing or control of farm products. This was believed to include all such measures as Dickinson bill
 Dissatisfaction was expressed at the stand of the administration, and rum blings against the Republican tariff were noted, and transmitted to Wash ington. Fear that revolt would grow to an extent dangerous to life of the Republican party in the grain belt is said to have led the President to change his stand on the measure just accepted.
