GRAIN HEADS
ARE ACCUSED
Traders Opposing Efforts
To Organize Farmers
Is Allegation

WASHINGTON. July PIP
The charge that grain traders
were attempting to prevent farmers
from organizing was made today BY
Chairman Stone Of the farm board.
He said that the desire to OBJ
struct growth Of ~cooperatives vas
behind the traders activities IN
pressing for a more definite state
ment on sterilization wheat sales.
II am not going to let them
dictate what Is IN the best interests
Of the farmers the chairman add
ed. II think the pressure TO hold
wheat off the market for a year or
until prices have reached a certain
level, vas started BY them. AT least
the only bad reaction to the new
statement made Tuesday has come
from those traders. They are max
ing every attempt TO dlscredit the
farm board and the grain stabiliza-
ton corporation

would increase prices 10 to 20 cents
a bushel as the chairman said they
had claimed would result from a
more detailed statement.
Representatives OF the grain trade
talked over the wheat situation
with Stone in May. The chairman
said then he hoped a better under
standing would exist between them
and the board. But today Stone
charged that they had not shown
any desire 70 cooperate IN HELPING
tbc farmer or in solving the wheat
problem.
7 do not think that there IS any
statement the farm board gouic
make that the trade would favor,
he said.
