FARM BOARD GAINS
! FRIEND OF TILLER
Sam H. Thompson Brings
Problem of Representing
Commodities.
Nv the Associated press.

~ the Associated Press.
Sam H Thompson will bring the
Farm Board q new problem when he
walks into the Office to take his place
az its newest member.
All of its members, except himself,
have been designated to represent some
one or more particular agricultural
commodities. The announcement yes
terday of his appointment specified no
nroduct that he would represent.
Chairman Stone said today he had
no information of the commodity
Thompson would represent. He fills the
place vacated by Alexander Legge, Jhe
former chairman, who represented no
one commodity.
Stones Position Changed.
Stone, who originally represented
tobacco, has been elevated to the chair
manship and now takes the position
that he represents all commodities. he
expressed the opinion that 1t Would
be better If all members were named
without commodity designation.
The agricultural marketing act, under
which the board was created, PROVIDES
that the major agricultural commodities
shall be represented.
There was little comment In WASH

of the leaders of the agricultural group
in Congress were away from the city.
Seen as Good Man.
Representative Jones of Texas, the
ranking minority member of the House
Agriculture Committee, looked upon
Thompson as "a good man." but OBJ
served that whether his ability and
experience are such as to enable him
to cope with the tremendous problems
which he will be called upon to handle
can only be determined after he has
been tried"
Chairman Smith of the House IrTi-
cation Committee said he believed the
appointment would be accepted as "a
very wise selection"
Back in 1924, Thompson appeared
before the House Agricultural Commit
tee to speak for the McNary Haugen
equalization fee bill. His right to repre-
sent Illinois farmers was challenged.
He left town, and in two days returned

from Chicago with $1,000 signatures on
a petition asking the bill be passed. He
testified
The appointment of Thompson, who
was elected to presidency Of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation for three
terms Yves announced at the White
House after President Hoover had de-
parted for his Caribbean trip. The
President, however, had signed the
commission before he left, so Thomp-
sons job begins Immediately. He mis-
the vacancy left by the resignation OF
Alexander Legge as chairman and the
appointment of James G. Stone TO that
position.
Ever a champion of the soil tiller,
Thompson contends the present condl-
ton of agricultural is largely responsible
for the depression. If agriculture can
be restored to prosperity, he said, IN
accepting the new work, business In
general will be rejuvenated. He Is a
protagonist of cooperative farm
, organizations.
For seven years he urged passage Of
the marketing act and other legislation
he thought remedial. His theories were
| based on experience, since he was born
in Adams County, ILL.,, in 1868 and
started with an 80-acre farm, which
now covers SEQ acres and is being run
under his supervision by son.
Sixteen years ago Thompson organ
lied q pioneer live stock cooperative
society in that Illinois County, and he
became a charter member of the Illinois
Agricultural Association. Besides these
positions he has been a director of the
National Live Stock and Meat Board
and of the Farm Boards subsidiary, Ma
tional Grain Corporation.
1.-The full development of our ma
tional policy on agriculture, laid down
by the marketing act and being en-
acted by the Farm Board, holds great
promise for equalization of the economic
position of our farm people" he said In
accepting the appointment.
To succeed Thompson as president
the American Farm Bureau Federation
elected Edward A. O'Neal of Montgom-
cry. Ala. Charles E. Hearst of Des
Moines, Iowa, took O'Neal's place.

SALE UPHELD

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Denying
protesting stockholders right to
file an intervening petition, Judge
George A. Carpenter yesterday
confirmed the $23 100000 public
auction sale of the Chicago and
Alton railroad to the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad.
The only recourse left to the
protesting stockholders, who are
represented by former Senator
James A. Reed. of Missouri, and
Senator Otis F. Glenn, is an ap-
peal to a higher court. They
must appeal within 80 days.
Besides the sale price paid by
the Baltimore and Ohio. the pur-
chasing company must assume
obligations of the Chicago and
Alton, which will bring the total
cost of the purchase to the
neighborhood of $75,00O,0O0.
Judge Carpenter also granted a
petition assigning the railroad

two attorneys representing the
Baltimore and Ohio interests, to
