-We have tried to urogram

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

The growers also went on
record as favoring continuation
of the certificate or two-price

that they would like the pro
gram to be more voluntary and
more permanent, the latter on
the theory that they cannot seed

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.
