The executive committee held a preconvention session Monday fore noon, with John A. Simpson of Okla homa City, national president, pre siding. Prior to this session Mr. Simpson announced a four-point legislative program which will be submitted to the convention for approval. The program, similar to that ad vocated by the union in 1931 and 1932, favors the following acts: 1. The Frazier bill, providing for the government refinancing of farm ers at a rate of 12 per cent interest. Cost of Production. 2. The Swank-Thomas bill, provid ing for the government regulation of marketing of farm crops on a basis of the farmers receiving for that por tion of his crcp needed for domestic consumption a price of not less than cost of production, including a rea sonable profit. 3. The Wheeler bill, providing for the remonetization of silver. 4. The Thomas bill, which pro vides for the government issuing full legal tender, noninterest - bearing bearing currency to pay the debts of the nation, instead of issuing more interest-bearing bonds. Among the official and unofficial delegates arriving here Monday were several officials of the Farm Holiday association.
