Alexander Legge A Fighting Champion For Farmers
Washington correspondent Rodney Dutcher portrays Alexander Legge as a fearless Federal Farm Board chairman candidate to stabilize agriculture. Legge, former International Harvester president, is described as a towering, reserved Scot with a zeal for hard work, little social life, and a vision to put farming on a paying basis. His life at the Willard Hotel, fitness routine with a Hoover medicine ball, and early morning routines illustrate his dedication to the farm cause.
