The American Farm Bureau Federation endorsed President Kennedy’s bid to broaden executive power to negotiate trade reductions. It re elected Charles B. Shuman of Sullivan Illinois as president and called for revising the sugar program to enlarge domestic market share while opposing a supply management plan.
