Washington March 13. Analysts say Arthur W. Hyde will play a strategic role in selling farm relief to industry as secretary of agriculture in the Hoover cabinet. The Missouri governor and Republican figure must persuade industry to back tariff-protected farm relief and ensure a favorable path for congress to act.
