Administration leaders indicated
yesterday they would oppose de-

Speaking privately, some of the
leaders contended the inquiry, pro-

produce evidence sufficiently valu-
able to warrant the proceedings.
Furthermore, they said. it might
prolong the session of Congress.
On the other hand. several men,

before which the proposal is pend

favor of the investigation, and one

Corn-Wheat-Dairy
Bloc Organized by
Midwest Senators
Wallace Is Present at
Formation Of Group to
PIon Farm Program
RACKGROUND-

BACKGROUND
Smoldering opposition to od-
ministration tarm program
reached its high point last week
uhen the Senate Agriculture
Committee ignored the Presi-
dents cotton export subsidy pro-
gram and approved the Bank
head bill to permit farmers to
reclaim up to 100000 bales OF
cotton stocks no1u held as COL
lateral for Government loans.
The committee also approved
cost OF production" farm bill.
Middle Western Senators, ignoring
party lines, yesterday formed a
corn -wheat-dairy bloc similar to
the older and powerful cotton bloc
of Southern Senators.
The presence of Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace at the birth OF
the new legislative group gave rise
to immediate speculation that 1t
was formed to oppose the cotton
bloc, now engaged in controversy
with Secretary Wallace over his
proposed cotton subsidy program.
However, the Middle Western Sena-
tors emphatically denied that in
ference.
-s% Senator Lucas, Democrat, OF
Illinois, leader of the new bloc
formed in his Office. said its pur-
pose was "a broao-scale, unified
farm program affecting all sections
of the United States against cur
rent uncertainties in world affairs y
Will Meet Southerners.
The Illinois Senator said the Mid
die Westerners would designate a
committee of three to meet with
a similar group of Southern Sena-
tors to reach an agreement upon
broad questions of general farm
policy"
The conference was said to have
discussed. without reaching any de-
cision, a wide variety of farm topics,
Including additional Federal funds
to aid the dairy industry in removing
price-depressing Surpluses; the SOU
900 900 for additional farm beneht
payments narrowly defeated recently
in the House and now pending In
the Senate, and the various cotton
surplus disposal proposals.
Among those who attended the
conference were Senators Gillette
and Herring of Iowa, Norris and
Burke of Nebraska, La Toilette and
Wiley of Wisconsin, Minton OF 1ndl-
ana and Gurney of South Dakota.
Representative Hope Of Kansas and
Edward A. O'Neill, president OF the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
also were present.
Lucas Named Chairman.
Senator Lucas was appointed
chairman of the committee Of three,
the other members of which are
yet to be named.
THE impact of foreign affairs
upon our national economy" Sena-
tor Lucas said after the conference.
f'caused a group of us representing
agricultural States Of the Middle
Mest to recognize the need for a
strong, definite and unified ap-
proach to the entire farm program,
realizing that the welfare of the
entire Nation is dependent upon a
satisfactory solution of the problems
which now confront u.s."

To Reach Accord

Secretary of Labor Perkins ap-
pealed last night to negotiators in
the Appalachian coal industry wage
and hour contract Stalemate to
reach . prompt agreement"
She disclosed in telegram ad-
dressed to the conferees that the
union had conceded the employers
request for a two-year extension Of
the contract which expired Friday
midnight, with an added provision
ito protect the union membership
under these circumstances"
Miss Perkins said 1t seems
reasonable that coal operators
should either agree to these sug-
gestions or make proposal of another
good way to protect union"
The negotiators have been meet
ing In New York.
Miss Perkins telegram follows:
1T is important that prompt agree
ment be reached between coal opera
tors and mine workers. Otherwise
there is likelihood of thousands being
out of work with loss In wages ana
purchasing power.
Il understand from Commissioner
Games FD Dewey that (John L.
Lewis for mine workers has con-
ceded employers request for two
year extension Of present contract
if he can get proviso to protect the
union and membership under these
circumstances. Understand he has
suggested either closed shop or elm
nation OF present penalty clause as
method for such protection.
1T seems reasonable that coal
operators should either agree to these
suggestions or make proposal OF
another good way to protect union.
To fail to do so is to risk confusion
and disturbance in the industry.
Operators will have gained economic
stability by the extension for two
years and can therefore, it would
seem. yield on this point, since they
have at present conditions practi-
cally similar.
Earnestly urge constructive con-
cessions and agreement"
