OME leaders fear submitting world court protocols to the Senate may trigger a legislative jam and prompt an extra spring session. The President asks for early consideration and says the protocols would free U S diplomacy from entanglements while urging cooperation to create a pacific settlements agency. If appropriations pass in time, the Senate could address the world court before March 4, but radicals may filibuster over pet measures.

Farm Bureau backs cooperative action and tighter market controls
At its Boston convention the American Farm Bureau federation urged no cooperative organization of farmers and opposed agricultural marketing act amendments. It pressed stricter grain and cotton exchange regulation, immediate drought area loans, funding for development projects, and a revolving fund to stabilize federal land bank bonds. In Washington two hundred delegates from thirty three dry groups called for more enforcement personnel and funds for prohibition. A wets convention in DC agreed on a unified substitute plan for prohibition.
