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.' '
