IAA Drives Farmers to Vote in Illinois Primary
The Illinois Agricultural Association began planning a statewide campaign to urge farmers to vote in the April 11 primary. President Charles B. Shuman said the effort is an educational campaign to encourage farm folks to exercise their right to vote. County farm bureaus will provide two Democratic and two Republican volunteers per rural precinct to urge participation, while avoiding any polling-site activities to stay non political. District meetings across five cities in March will brief farm bureau officials on campaign details.

Foreign Aid's Real Cost Demanded
Washington Senate economy advocates pressed Friday to delay foreign aid funds until Secretary of State Dean Acheson discloses the real cost of the recovery program. They warned the department's pledge to meet Truman's 4.5 billion dollar request means little. The department told the Senate committee it would try to fit the 1951 budget but unforeseen events could require extra funds.
