Gov. Harry H. Woodring postponed the midcontinent governors conference to create an economic compact across the region. Invitations went to 15 states for a May 19 Wichita meeting. lawmakers’ sessions and local affairs deadlines delayed attendance. Some urged forming a midcontinent council at French Lick Springs in June. Woodring cited eastern financiers who back a regional program to bolster prosperity and oppose sectional subsidies, arguing a unified governors’ conference could advance a regional farm and industry plan with eastern endorsement. The event was tied to the Kansas chamber of commerce meeting in Wichita.
