recognized farm leader, a congress-
man who is considered one of the
most effective men in the House of
Representatives, leader in co-opera-
tive grain marketing and a nationally

Jim Patton, president of National
Farmers Union and of the Interna-
tional Federation of Agricultural Pro-
ducers, will after years absence,
again have an important spot on the
convention program. Mr.. Patton was
not able to attend the 1858 conven-

Another step to the top OF
the platform from which the
Legislative Council will start
walking a political tight-rope
on October 26 and 27 was taken
this week when the Highway
Commission filed a brief an
swering a statement of facts
brief earlier set forth by Horace B.
Williams, dismissed program engi-
neer. (See VOICE, Sept. 4 issue).
The Commission brief denied every
thing in the Williams statement ex-
cept that Williams was first denoted,
then dismissed.
Saying that Williams was "given
many opportunities to be a good en-
ployee" and that his dismissal was
not related to his testifying before
the Highway Investigating Committee
of the Legislature, the Commission
asked the Legislative Council for an
order that the Highway Commission
"was fully justified'' and "that his
discharge was in no way connected
with any testimony which he gave
under oath before Legislative Com
mittee of the 1859 Session of the
legislature.
A statement has been issued by
Legislative Council Secretary Gene
Tidball giving a tentative rule of pro-
cedure for the hearing as, "the Coun-
Gil will not allow introduction
of testimony bearing upon the rela-
tive merits of the various Highway
Commission programs nor upon the
efficiency of the Highway Commits

fact requires evaluation of any tech
of highway planning or con-
struction, the testimony to support
