Secretary Brannan was out of; the city and not available for comment. Senator Aiken, Republican. Ver mont said in a Senate speech that 5,000 Minnesota farm committee men were “virtually instructed” to attend a St. Paul meeting at which Mr. Brannan spoke and that as “special inducements” they were promised regular pay and travel allowances. He labeled it an illegal use of farm funds—a charge promptly backed up by Senator Ferguson,' Republican, of Michigan. Sena tor Ferguson demanded that At torney General McGrath take action. Senator Aiken estimated the April 4 meeting cost between $50, 000 and $100,000, and said thej money must have come from funds allocated to Minnesota for! soil improvement work. Calls Talk Political. He said the conference was sup posed to be concerned with plan ning a 1051 soil conservation pro gram for Minnesota, but he called Mr. Brannan’s speech "political from start to finish.’’ Senator Ferguson, calling it “a clear violation of the law," chided administration officials for what he called their attempt to influ ence legislation while scolding pri vate lobbies. Senator Aiken said that Mr. Brannan devoted two-thirds of his 8t. Paul speech to promoting his farm plan and the rest to condemning the Farm Bureau Federation. Senator Aiken said “a perfectly proper meeting" of the Minnesota county committeemen of the Agriculture Department’s Produc tion and Marketing Administra tion was called for April 3 and 4 in St. Paul. Humphrey Also Speaker. He added, however, that spon sors of the conference evidently felt the county committeemen would not provide a large enough audience for Mr. Brannan, sched uled to speak the afternoon of April 4. On March 16, Senator Aiken said, Charles W. Stickney, chair man of the Minnesota PMA Com mittee, sent a notice to the 5,000 community committeemen in the State which "directed” them to be present when Mr. Brannan spoke. The Senator said the notice told them they would be allowed a travel allowance of 5 cents a mile and "a regular day’s pay” of $8. Senator Aiken said that Sen ator Humphrey, Democrat, of Minnesota, also made a wholly political speech at the meeting. His office reported he was out of the city.
