Starting at 9 o'clock this morning, 70 or more canvassers assembled at the Association of Commerce rooms, were given their lists and started out on their beats in teams. Start of the campaign was preced- | ed by a dinner last evening at the Lions den in the Grand Pacific hotel when final instructions were issued to the workers. Talks were made by Judge A. M. Christianson, chairman of the Chest. by Harry P. Goddard, secretary, and by L. K. Thompson, chairman of the Chest campaign. Solicitors Given Final Tips Talks were of an admonitory char- acter and stressed Chest facts and conditions which may have to be ex- plained as the teams interview the Prospective 1.300 contributors—such as the organizations sharing he funds, the nature of their activities, the charity and the welfare aims back of the fund and the common sense of making one big drive instead of var- fous annoying smaller solicitations as Prior to last year.

Brookhart Hints Test of Right to Lend Money to Market- ing Corporation REED SCORES CURTAILMENT Belief Expressed That All Mem- bers of Farm Board Will Be Approved Washington, Oct. 3—()—The dom- nance of wheat as a farm relief issue stood out today in the senate agricul- ture committee's examination of the views, policies and records of tht federal farm board membership, Progress of the hearing, which 1s intended to pave the way toward confirmation or rejection of the president's nominees, pointed. def- initely toward the conflict of views over the right way to handle the wheat situation as the one most likely to cause a bitter dispute in the senate. The most vigorous opposition to statements of any members of the farm board has arisen from those re- garding wheat. Senator Brookhart, Republican, Iowa, suggested during the questioning of Sam R. McKelvie, compromise wheat representative on the board, that “maybe some of us” would resort to injunctive proceedings to test the right of the board to lend money to the projected Farmers Na- tional Grain Marketing corporation. And Governor Reed of Kansas has taken vigerous exception to statee ments by Carl Williams of cotton representative of the board. Citing Williams’ statement before the committee in his testimony on cotton, that it was necessary for the producer to curtail his production when surpluses exist, Governor Reed said curtailment of wheat acreage would be impracticable. Outstanding in his statements to the committee, McKelvie said that the Farmers National Grain Market- ing corporation, organization of which is expected to be completed shortly, would be unable to function effec- tively toward the stabilization “of wheat prices until next year. The board, he said, intends to lend money to the corporation to enable it to ob- tain adequate storage and other fa- cilities. While opposition to the confirma- tion of Chairman Legge and several other members of the board is ex- pected on the floor of the senate, leaders feel that McKelvie will bear the brunt of it, but they are still cons vineed that all will be approved.
