CAMPBELL DEFENDS
FARM BOARD PLAN
Montanan Says Country Should
Have Large Supply Of Wheat
for Emergencies

Washington, April 21-F,-Thomas
D. Campbell, Montana, identified as
the largest wheat farmer In the
United States. told President Hoover
Monday wheat purchases of the grain
sterilization corporation-which he
placed at ESQ., O0, 900 bushels-were
only about 10O,0 900 bushels in ex-
cess of normal needs.
Campbell, who lunched with Pres
ident Hoover, said it was necessary
for this country to have at least $780,
100000 or zoe, 100000 bushels Of wheat
on hand at all times in case OF war or
severe drought In the wheat belt.
A less amount, he added, would be
disastrous in a Of crop failure or
attack.
The Montana farmer deplored at
tacks made on the farm board by bus
mess and financial writer's. saying
this had brought about q feeling
among the farmers that business was
in opposition to agriculture.
The action of the farm board In
stabilizing wheat price twice during
the last year and q half was said by
Campbell to have averted q panic in
this country.
Had the price Of wheat fallen to so
cents, he said, banks throughout the
wheat belt would have failed and the
country would have been plunged into
the worst panic Of its history.

Minnesota Governor Scores In

DEFENDS FARM DISTRICTS

Begin Consideration of
New Division
DEFENDS FARM DISTRICTS

st. Paul, April 21.-RHGoyernor
Floyd B. Olson recorded his first veto
late Monday when he refused to ap-
prove the conference plan for con-
gressional reapportionment passed
earlier in the day by the senate and
last Saturday by the house.
The chief executive attacked the
measure as obviously an inequitable
distribution of the population of
Minnesota. His message was re-
cetved by the house at $50 p. m, and
after being read, Representative liver
Iverscn, cha6man of the house ap-
portionment committee, moved that
the message and the bill containing
the plan, be tabled.
AS the result of the veto, confer
ences were called and plans for q
strenuous effort to obtain a new plan
made.
It was considered useless to attempt
to pass the measure over the COVER
nor's veto in either house.
The governors veto message ad-
dressed to the house:
Il am returning herewith without
my approval H. B. 1864 bill for an
act to divide the state of Minnesota
into nine congressional districts.
"The state of Minnesota must be
redistricted but that redistricting
should be based upon a fair division
Of population. H. B. 1456 is obviously
an inequitable distribution of the
population of Minnesota.
There is a difference of 10000 be-
tween the proposed fifth district,
which contains the largest population,
and Re proposed first district, which
contains the smallest population.
Taking the so-called agricultural
districts there is a difference of 98,-
600 between the proposed seventh dis
trict, an agricultural district, which
contains the largest population of the
agricultural districts, and the pro-
posed first district. an agricultural

CURTIS NOT DECIDED
FOR WHAT 0FFICE HE
WILL RUN NEXT YEAR
Weighs Reelection Possibilities
Against Those Of Race
for Senate

Washington. April 21.-F-Repub-
lican leaders looking ahead to the
1882 presidential race are waiting
eagerly for the decision to be made
by Vice President Curtis on seeking
reelection.
II this party veteran determines to
60 out for hts former seat IN the 81.
ate from Kansas rather than take d
chance on another four-year term as
vice president, 1t is conceded the
move will bolster anti Hoover Re-
publican forces.
Curtis will announce his decision
In the fall. Meanwhile he is keeping
his own counsel. Friends say he is
confronted with pleas from both
those who would have him run again
for vice president and those in Kan
sas who would have him campaign
against Senator McGill, a Democrat.
There are no ties to the future be-
tween Curtis and Hoover. There
have been rumors of other vice presi-
dental candidates in the official fam
lily OF the president. There now is
speculation of whether Curtis cares
to risk his fortune again with the
Hoover organization In a national
election.
The attitude of Curtis Is being
watched particularly by restless Re-
publicans of uncertain strength who
are specializing on an attempt to
overthrow Hoover In the next con-
vention. This group has its nucleus
In the dissatisfied Hoover organiza-
ton of 1928 In the south headed by
Horace Mann.
