years will he thrust forward with
renewed force tomorrow when the

endorsement from leading agricul
tural organizations of any one

members today to complain that
the complaints were precipitated
by the appearance before the com

bill by the American farm bureau
federation. Representative Wil
liams, republican, Illinois, de
clared :
"Here are two of the greatest
farm organizations advocating dis-
Usimllar measures. How can this
committee be expected to act
wisely when there is such a dif
ference of opinion between farm

imposition of basic crops. Because
Ot the attitude of farm organisa
tions on the question, a number of
committee members expressed the
belief that? two bills finally will
emerge soas to place the equali
