WASHINGTON Feb. 1. Hepub
llcan members of tho "agricultural

tlon' that th'a retirement of Senator
Konyon, of Iowa, ono of Its leaders,

tion or seriously nffect Its program
ot farmor legislation
"Illoc" Will Continue.
Senator Cappor, of Kansas, .was
one of those actively Identified With
the ':bloc," who while expressing
regret that Kcnyon should havo
found It necewary to glvo up his
acnatorlul duties to accept tho fed
oral Judgeship to which tho president
appointed him, declared tho "blqo"
movement would continue.
It was explained that tho appoint
ment was tendered IConyon after' ho
had. requested It and after Senator
Cummins of Iowa, his colleague, had
personally urged tho president to
ninkn It,
The next move of tho "bloc" It
was slated, would bo to '.rss for
tho early pasago ot legislation to
legalize co-operatlvo marketing by
farmers. Cappor Is behind ono bill
for this purpose.
Tho "bloc" Is understood to bo di
vided on the bill sponsored bv Ben-
ntor Lndd, nonpartisan republican
ot worm uaxoia, which would navu
tho federal government guarantee
farmers a minimum return on ceiv
tnln staple products Uko wheat and
corn. Administration leaders aro
strongly oppowlng tho bill on tho
grounds that It Is "economically
wrong" and would "put, tho govern
ment ln the farming business."
A hot fight over tho mcsgago In
the senato agriculture committee
which Is now conducting hearings
on It, Is anticipated, Administra
tion spokesmen nro reported to bo
exerting powerful prewuro to havo
It "killed In the committee."
The retirement of Kcnyon leavos
a vacancy on tho committee, which'
Is composed largely of "blot" mom
born. It Is said that a movement Is
alieady on toot to have the vacancy
filled with an eastern eenatoV like
