Thomas discussed the proima. ed referendum that would have Imposed strict controls with heavy penalties. This was de. feated In VHiJ. The present gram, which Congress pot effect after parsing In April of this year, recognizes that wheat Is worth different amounts for different uses, he said. Iurlng the day's session, the growers went on record at favor log a HHi'Ul assessment of heat league members to carry on activities and wvrk of the league. K. . iTad) Miller Jr. Is a member of a state commit tee considering auch an assess ment. and the group voted to support the committee proposal or an annual Mxvial assessment of $5 ier member plus $1 for ! each 10(10 bushels of wheat he raises, or $5 per member plus 3c tier acre.

The growers also went on record as favoring continuation of the certificate or two-price wneat program. They Indicated that they would like the pro gram to be more voluntary and more permanent, the latter on the theory that they cannot seed for permanent grass or perma nent conservation practice for lust a year or two. If no new legislation Is drafted by Con gress before April, another ref erendum will be submitted to the growers nationwide for vote, and the members at the meeting Tuesday felt that this would be futile In view of the defeat of the referendum In 1962. Jepsen will succeed Paul Tews. who presided at the Tuesday sessions, as head of the Morrow association. Other officers are Louis Carlson, first vice Dresl- dent: Kenneth Turner, second vice president; and Nels Ander son, secretary. The position of second vice president was added this year because of the increas ing number of activities.
