Just when Representative Lemke, North Dakota Republican, and co- author of the measure, thought he had the necessary 145 signatures to discharge the committee and bring the bill before the house, Speaker Rainey spread the word that the president disapproved and there ensued an im- mediate rush to erase names from the petition. Lemke then had 140 names. The next day the list showed 130. A day or so later three or four more had been affixed and Lemke expressed confidence the required number would be obtained. Before Rainey conveyed word that a White House frown had been cast toward the measure, Lemke had felt confident the bill would come out of committee and predicted it would be taken up April 23. Now, however, it is doubt- ful if a vote will be reached this month, Frazier Sees Majority Senator Frazier, North ‘Dakota Re- publican, who lost a fight in the sen- ate to have the same bill passed last session, is confident the measure has & majority of support in the upper house. Practically all of the larger farm organizations of Minnesota and North Dakota have endorsed the bill. It would refinance farm obligations on the basis of 1% per cent interest and 14% per cent principal. Representative Sinclair, North Da- kcta Republican, is author of a plan for creation of a federal marketing corporation, which he hopes will make more effective the administra- tion’s production control program for agriculture. . An ardent sympathizer with the farm allotment plan, Sinclair eels it will be of more value if a federal cor- poration is set up to purchase sur- plus products and market them abroad. He said his plan would sup- plement the work of the export and import banks, of which George N. he | Peek is president. Senator Frazier has introduced the same bill in the senate. Sincisir was author of a similar measure in the house 12 years ago. ‘The Sinclair plan was advocated here recently by John Brandt, presi- dent of the Land o’Lakes Creameries, of} Inc., who submitted a program of re- lef for the dairy industry during a meeting of milk and butter coopera: tives from all parts of the country.

Commissioner 8. A. Floren here. ©. Gunvaldsen, U. 8. marshal, re- turned to Fargo late Wednesday after completing service of the warrants on eight persons indicted with Langer on charges growing out of the investiga- tion into alleged solicitation of funds from federal employes. Gunvaldsen informed Langer of the option he has of appearing before. either the federal Court or the com= missioner. The marshal brought war- rants here for all those indicted, ex- cept Langer. The warrant for Lan- ger remains in Fargo, but if he does not appear before the federal court there, it was understood it will be sent here for service.
