PREDICTS INVOKING GRAIN FUTURES ACT Georgé S. Milnor Sees Action Against Chicago Board i of Trade. By the Associated Press CHICAGO, May . 26.—George S. Milnor, general manager of the Farm- ers’ National Grain Corporation, said today there was no doubt in his mind the Government would be urged at once to invoke the grain futures act against the Chicago Board of Trade for its sus- of the Updike Grain Co. and wo of its officers. Commenting on the suspension, an- nounced yesterday by the board, Milnor declared it “hardly seems possible that| grejudiu against the Federal Farm oard, Farmers' National Grain Corpo- ration and the co-operative movement in general could influence the judgment of business men in rendering such an important decision.” Sees Large Damages. Enforcement of the decision, Milnor sald, would cost grain producers many thousands of dollars in actual damages, and “I do not believe they will mildly submit without testing out just what the grain futures act means. * * * ‘There is no doubt in my mind but that immediate steps will be taken. “If the act is not sufficiently broad to enable producers to have full Board of Trade and clearing house privileges possibly Congress will sec fit to amend the law so as to fully protect farme.: interests in the marketing of grain that | they produce.” Revocation of the Board of Trade's license under the grain futures act for alleged “discrimination against co- operatives” was asked of the Govern- ment last April by Farmers' National, but at that time Secretary of Agricul- ture. Hyde said he would withhold ex- pression until the disposal of the Up- case. Parmers’ National purchased the Up- dike Grain Co. last year to acquire through it clearing privileges which the Board of Trade denied to the co- ogrative itself under a rule barring corparations. The purchase was not made public for some time and this was the basis of the Board of Trade charges against Updike. Company Suspended. ‘The company itself was suspended in- definitely on charges that its president, Fred Thatcher, and its secretary and treasurer, J. Fletcher Florentine, “pre- sumably with the knowledge of officers of the Farmers’ National, concealed in their statements that the Farmers’ Na- tional was actually owner of the stock when registering their ownership.” Thatcher was denied privileges for five years and Florentine for two years under the suspension ruling. Chairman ‘Stone of the Farm Board said at Washington last night the de- cision looked to him like “a clear case of discrimination against the co-opera- tives” and that “it is apparent that Peter Carey (president of the Board of Trade) and his associates are get- ting desperate.” NEBRASKA TORNADO KILLS 3, HURTS SCORE Farm Buildings Wrecked and Communication Crippled by Storm.
