Wheat Referendum Bows to Defeat; Wins in Morrow .Continued lrom page 1) suits of the Tuesday vote, Har old Beach of Hermiston, presi dent of the Oregon Farm Bureau federation, said that the defeat means "the nation's farmers are asking for better wheat legis lation." "There is not time for bitterness or rancor over the choice of the wheat growers," he said. "In stead, we should all join forces to work out wheat legislation in Congress which will move away from government controls and toward the free market. The Farm Bureau program of bidding land out of production by competitive bids and tying price supports to crop cutbacks was emphasized by Beach as a sound plan for reducing wheat surpluses, and he said that he hoped the administration and Congress would not consider that plan. But in Morrow county there is grave doubt because of state ments by members of Congress ional agriculture committ e e s who have declared that they will call for no new programs. They face the future with considerable uncertainty and concern.
