CHICAGO, December 21.—For the second time a farm bloc has been or- | ganized in Congress to give bipartisan | support to agriculture's relief demands. | The American Farm Bureau Federa- | {tion late today received word from its | president, Edward A. O'Neal, who is |now in Washington, that about 150 | members of Congress have banded to- | gether to force through the short ses- | sion of Congress a four-point legislative | program. Eleven years ago the Farm Bureau | sponsored a farm bloc which obtained enactment in the Sixty-seventh Con- gress of more agricultural legislation than in all the preceding sessions. O'Neal's telegram said Congressmen | from both parties are backing an agri- cultural program which tentatively in- {cludes expansion of currency, lowering | | of the price of the dollar, stopping farm | martgage foreclosures and giving equal- ity to agriculture and labor. “I regard this development as tre- | mendously significant,” O'Neal said, |“and indicative of the growing realiza- |tion of the Nation that restoration of | agriculture must be the first step to- | { ward national economic recovery.” | | O'Neal and leaders of other farm or- | |ganizations have been in Washington |more than a week supporting the do- mestic allotment plan for increasing prices of farm commodities. Four subcommittees of the bloc have | been appointed, O'Neal said, with Dem- jocratic chairmen, as follows: Farm Mortgage Foreclosures, Representative |John N. Sandlin. Louisiana; Farm Re- | lief Legislation, Willilam W. Arnold, II- | linois; Currency Reform, Jeff Busby, Mississippl, and_ City Co-operation, James M. Mead. New York.
