FARM LEGISLATION URGEDBY GROWERS Program to Improve In- comes Advocated as Con- gress Debates Method. B7 the Assoclated Press. Vegetable and potato growers yes- terday urged that Federal and State Governments_enact ‘legislation to im- prove their incomes. The recommendations came at a time when congressional advocates of farm legislation were divided over the method that should be used in the new bill. President Roosevelt went over the situation with Chairman Jones of the House Agriculture Committee dur- ing the day. but Jones declined to #ay what had been gone over at the conferénce. “I had been wanting to talk with the President about farm matters in general” he said. “We have several matters pending in the committee.” | Special Quotas Urged. More than 60 repregentatives of vegetable and potato growing areas who have talked with Agriculture De- partment officials during the weeft urged that special quotas be set up for them under the soil-conservation program. They asked that they be ellotted bases similar to those now ‘used for “tobacco, cotton and peanut"” producers. Potato growers said the prospect of a 404,000,000-bushel crop this year threatened “disaster to the indus- try.” They asked the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to es- tablish diversion programs for lower grades of potatoes and establish a special committee to work out a Federal potato program. They seek legislation requiring that potatoes moving in interstate com- merce “be branded, tagged or de- scribed in grades or as unclassified.” Additional Funds Sought.

'he group said ‘vegetable growers should establish large co-operative marketing organization able to bargain on equal terms with mass buyers of their products, such as canneries and large retail store chains. Jones said his conference with the President had no bearing on when he would introduce a long-awaited general farm bill, but that he hoped | to have a tentative draft ready for his committee’s consideration when it meets in executive session Tues- day. He said the committee would | have a chance to pass on the meas- ure before he formally introduces it. Split Over Program.' House advocates of farm legislation at this sesion have split three ways| over production control, though in| general agreement with the proposed | “ever-normal granary” program de- signed to prevent price fluctuation. Jones heads one group demanding & voluntary program under which par- ticipating farmers would be paid cash benefits financed by a processing tax. Another group is urging compulsory | legislation which would give all farm- ers marketing quotas in years when surplus crops threaten the price struc- ture. The third group wants the Federal | Government to fix cost of production prices on farm commodities needed for domestic use and the “ever-normal” granary program i Jones declined to say whether his bill would favor any of these pro- grams. The constitutionality of all three plans has been questioned. Fraternity to Hear Thomas. Senator Elbert D.

Copeland, administra- tion critic, as its candidate, while the Democratic leaders of Brooklyn, Queens, Richmond and the Bronx des- ignated Grover Whalen, ‘former police commissioner. G. O. P. Meeting Next Week. The organization Republican lead- ers, who have openly criticized Mayor F. H. La Guardia for New Deal lean- ings, will meet next week to decide what course they will take. Some have indicated privately they would like to enter Copeland’s name in the Republican primary. Others favor naming a conservative Republican in the hope of defeating La Guardia. It is almost certain, political ob- servers believe, that La Guardia will not be the organization candidate, althdugh he, has announced he will enter the primary. There has been | talk that he also would enter the Democratic primary. Whalen was regarded generally as the candidate of the national ad- ministration, because of frequent tele- phone conversations between Ed- ward J. Flynn, Bronx leader, and the White House. Fight Is Local, Says Whalen. ‘The former police commissioner, who now is president of the 1939 World's Fair Corp., said in an inter- view today, however, that the primary fight was strictly a local contest. Copeland has the support of for- mer Gov. Alfred E. Smith and other prominent Democrats who opposed President Roosevelt in the last na- tional election. Samuel Levy, Manhattan borough president, also is a candidate for the Democratic nomination. He has “STUBBORN_ RHEUMATISM Rheumatic Gout Neuritis—Sciatica .
