Hits OWI Broadcast Washington, July 17, U.P Sena tor Gerald P. Nye R., No. Dakota, today criticized as inaccurate, un fair and libelous, an Office of War Information radio broadcast about North Dakota farmers. Nye objected to a radio story which presented the Red River val ley as being abandoned by farmers during a drought. The story also quoted a North Dakota farmer as saying he planted "winter" wheat. North Dakota actually grows no winter wheat, Nye said, but is in stead one of the great producers of spring wheat. Nye wrote Davis that Red River Valley farmers instead of quitting their lands during a drought, ac tually contributed to drought relief for other sections while they them selves produced a one hundred mil lion dollar crop. "I can't understand why O.W.I, should be intruding upon subjects about which it obviously knows nothing," Nye wrote Davis, "and if i am not mistaKen, it is inunera such as this which has won for your 1 ag(?ncy guch & degree Qf digre. d and distrust Jn the handllng of the domestic 'end of its affaira." O.W.I, officals were rechecking the story carefully today. "If we pulled a boner we'll admit It," an O.W.I spokesman said.
