2 Th Nwt-Review, Roteburg, Brannan Plan In Part Backed By Grange Master ONTARIO, Ore., June 12. UP) Oregon State Grangemaster Mor ton Tompkins delivered his final report to the State grange today, and reiterated his support of part of the Brannan plan. Tompkins, who will leave office Friday after 10 years as head of the Oregon State grange, declared that "the Brannan plan should be given a trial run . . . there are several features of the plan which have a lot of merit." His position was expected to meet contradiction from National Grangemaster Albert S. lioss, who has sharply attacked the Brannan plan. Gosj will speak before the grange convention Friday. Tompkins, opening the annual state convention this morning, took issue with the national grange's stand in favor of flexible price sup ports. Such flexible supports, Tompkins declared, "Work to the advantage of the large corporation farmer and to the detriment of the small operator." Tompkins repeated his stand in favor of a Columbia Valley admin istration. He declined to take any side on the controversial subject ot legis lature reapportionment. Instead, he recommended that the grange "refuse to endorse either pro posal,'.' and give the matter more study. Tompkins recommended increas ing state aid to schools from $50 to $80 per child; studying the two price plan proposed by the Eastern Oregon Wheat league; developing power projects. Turning to the national scene, he condemned the "unscrupulous practice of calling people Com munists, Cocialists, and various other discrediting names as a sub stitute for argument.'
