F A R NJ GROUPS
GET TOGETHER
On RELIEF
Compulsory Equalization Fee
and Debenture Plan Ac-
Cepted by Federation

Amendment of the Federal
Farm Board act to include a
compulsory equalization fee
provision was demanded today
of Congress by the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
Edward A. O'Neal, president Of
the organization, appearing be-
fore the Senate Agricultural Com
mittee, which is considering farm
relief legislation. also formally
placed the federation on record
as being willing to accept the de-
benture in conjunction with the
equalization fee.
Pact With Grange
The debenture is favored by
the Grange, the other large ma
tional farmers organization. In
the past the Grange and the
farm bureau have been opposed
over their respective measures
for farm relief.
Recently, it was learned, the
two organizations had reached an
agreement whereby they would
POOL their interests and call on
Congress for the adoption of
both the equalization fee and
the debenture and their inclu'
sion in the farm board act.
Urge Farm Board Probe
O'Nears declaration gave for
NAL confirmation of this report.
The merged program appreciably
enhanced the strength of both
proposals before Congress.
O'Neal also informed the Sen
ate committee that the farm
bureau favored an investigation
Of the farm board. He declared
the farm bureau has supported
the board but believes a Sena'
torial inquiry will clear the air
and strengthen the position of
the farm board"

Plenty of Action on Benefit Card Last Night Hall, Badami Impressive

With less than $50 customers in the house, five boxing bouts in which some hot and heavy punch inch was on tap were presented last night at the Waterbury Arena as a benefit show for injured City Amateur league players. Tony Laverio of Bristol and Harry Ryder of this city stole the show with a five round slam-bang num- Der that foun both boys on the floor and developed some leather exchanges that were nothing short of blood-tingling. Laverio won the nod by virtue of punching contin. ually as Ryder tired toward the close of the bout, though Antonlo was planted on the canvas with smash to the nose that he couli hardly forget in hurry. Tn the second round. both boys slugged hammer and tongs, Tony reaching Ryder with left hook that knock ed him clean off his feet, but he
