Loss to Treasury
Apparently believing Congress
will either appropriate funds for
the relief Of unemployment next
winter or turn the Farm Boards
holdings over to charity, certain
leaders hope to be rid of the
board at the same time.
BY linking the two proposals
they could wipe out the affairs
Of the Farm Board by a single
bill, even though the Government
would have to shoulder q heavy
financial loss.
Leaders of the insurgent group
have indicated they will renew
their >mands for Federal aid to
the unemployed next winter. One
of their chief demands will be to
tRrn the Farm Boards surplus
farm products over to the jobleSs.
Hoover Veto Seen
Although this proposal prob
ably would be approved by Con-
gress, it might be defeated by a
presidential veto.
Demands for abolition of the
Farm Board have been made by
some of the Administrations S
staunchest supporters. The Boards
critics have charged that it's oper,
ations last year failed to help the
farmer, while it's efforts to sell
destroyed existing markets.

posed the surplus grain be trans
ferred to communities to feed the
