Ritter was extremely methodical

COMMITTEE PUTS OFF
FARM BOARD PROBE
Postponement of Action on Nye
Resolution Requested by
Secretary Hyde.
Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
At the request of Secretary Hyde, the
Senate agriculture committee today de-
ferred action on resolution by Senator
Nye, Republican, North Dakota, calling
for investigation of Federal Farm Board
activities.
Chairman McNary said Secretary
Hyde and Chairman Legge of the board
probably would be questioned before the
committee acted.
The resolution proposes inquiry
whether the Federal Farm Board has
been fairly interpreting the agricultural
marketing act and carrying out its
purposes" and whether the so-called
grain trade of America has conspired to
destroy the purposes and effectiveness
Of the act and to embarrass the Farm
Board"
McNary declined to comment on the
attitude of the committee, declaring
that it unanimously concurred in the
suggestion of Secretary Hyde that action
be deferred Sin view of the delicate
situation throughout the world"
The committee chairman talked with
Secretary Hyde shortly before the COM
mittee met.
