Alexander Legge Named Federal Farm Board Leader
Washington reports general consent that Alexander Legge, head of International Harvester, will head the new Federal Farm Board. Legge, a Chicagoan, is popular in farming circles and has long been tied to Hoover administration service. The piece notes his Wisconsin birth, Nebraska upbringing, and rise from McCormick Harvester in Omaha to general manager in 1913 and president in 1922. It also mentions his close ties to Secretary Lamont and Hoover’s child welfare interests, plus a brief aside on other White House topics and a quip about parking space for China.
