Washington, May N.-(AP)-Farm
organization leaders today predicted
special attention would be given to
the agricultural tariff question of the
platform committees of both national
conventions next month.
Fred Brinkman, Washington repre-
sentative of the National Grange, said
his group would appear before both
Democratic and Republican National
Convention committees to protest a.
gainst present methods of handling
reciprocal agreements.
The Grange will urge a farm plank
calling for preservation of the Amer
lean market for the American farmer
Brinkman said, and for the repeal of
the most favored nation clause of
the reciprocal trade agreement pact.
However, it was indicated in some
quarters that leaders of the American
Farm Bureau Federation might sup
port the administration policies and
urge both Democrats and Republicans
to retain the present plans.

Bailey has been and still is conduct

his duties in Congress and without
making any campaign speeches, is
proving unusually effective and will

on the job in Washington while three
opponents have been conducting a
vigorous campaign against him, to
which he has not replied either thro-

tor Bailey the admiration of many
who formally had not been his en-
thusiastic supporters, his friends here
say.
But Senator Bailey has not been
sitting quietly in Washington, as some
think. He has been sending out thous-

to the voters informing them of his
