McNary May Name Ap pointeeRecognition For Northwest President Lauds Farm Act PORTLAND, Or., Juno 15. (fP) Government administration con stituents tonight were commenting on tint "excellent possibilities" of the Pacific Northwest beinty rep resented by an Oregon man on the federal farm relief board created today when President Hoover sign ed the agricultural relief bill. Within the past three months three aspirants for one of the eight places on the hoard, each drawing $12,000 annually, have been mentioned. The first in the field was Hoy It i liner, former I'matillu county state senator, rain grower and former banker. The second Is 14. J. .Reynolds, member of the state senate from Marlon county and the third is R. H. Kipp, manager of the agricul tural department of the Portland chamber of commerce, who already ban been Indorsed by many farm organizations. State officials said tonight the outcome depends largely on the at titude of Senator McNary (Oregon) who had charge of the relief bill and followed closely the desires of the president. They also mention the possibility of President Hoover granting special consideration to the Oregon senator In recognition of his six year effort for farm re lief legislation. Competition from California is peon by eonstituentrt because of 11.... I I on . I in ore. While Frank O. Lowden, former Illinois governor, was in Portland last week, Kipp had a long con ference with him. The name of Lowden has been mentioned as a possihle member of the board, but he refused to comment either on the possible appointment or the outcome of the farm hiil, over which a fight was being waged then. WASHINGTON, June 15. (jp) President Hoover described the farm relief bill which he sisncil today as "a constructive start at agricultural relieC and as "the most important measure ever pass ed by congress In aid of a single industry." His formal statement, issued several hours after the actual sign ing, follows: "After many years of inaction we have at last made a constructive start at agricultural relief with the most Important measure ever Dass- ed by congress In aid of a single I Jimunu "Ah it would have Introduced many cross currents to have Initia ted any movement toward the se lection of the farm board until af ter the legislation was completed, no steps have been tuken In this direction bevond the receipt of sev eral hundred recommendations. It will require two or three weeks to make these selections. The clinic? of the board Is not easy for Its members must in a measure be distributed regionally over the country, it must at the same time be chosen so as to represent so far as possible each mujor branch of ngriculture. "Moreover, the hoard must be made up of men of actual turni ex perience and inusmuch as its work lies largely in marketing in con junction with farm cooperatives Its membership should be compro mised of men who have been actu ally engaged In directing farmers' marketing organizations. It is de sirable that the hoard should have in its constitution at least one man experienced in general business and one with special experience in fin ance.
