Wants Cash For Grain
Chairman Legge said today the
federal farm board would be glad tt
make its holdings of wheat available
as food for the unemployed If con.
gress would replace the money used
by the grain sterilization corporation
for its purchase.
Such a step. he said, would help
in reducing the wheat surplus in this
country.
Legge explained, however, that the
farm board had no authority under
the agricultural marketing act ia
give away wheat purchased in stabi-
lization operations.
The only way the wheat could be
over to the unemployed, there
fore, was through additional author
ity from congress which meets in
December.
Legge's statement came in the
midst of a series Of conferences on
the unemployment situation between
President Hoover. Col. Woods and
other members of the Hoover cabinet
committee.
