Interdepartmental trade policy committees, and such other Individuals as Peek may select In a formal statement the White House said: "The report of the committee and final action is expected within two weeks." It continued: "George Peek, agri- cultural adjustment administrator, having completed the organization period of the AAA, Is designated to head this committee as a special assistant to the President on American trade policy." The new organization "to correlate the internal adjustment of production with such effective foreign purchasing power as may be developed by reciprocal tariffs, barter, and othei International arrangements," will be headed by Mr. Peek when it is completed. The administration expects to bring about modification of some nation treaties so as to make possible special treatment of liquor iniorts from countries agreeing to take more of this country's surplus farm products. This is not regarded as a great ditlleulty to Sir. Peek, as it is a favorite theme with hi tn that trade amounts to for your "swapping my marbles." Trade, to him, whefher on a domestic or international basis, is just what the word. signifies, and he snys that in its transaction "we sometimes have to sleep with people we don't like and sometimes with those most-favore- d e jack-knif- we like." He Is quoted as remarking to an aide of the prospective liquor deals: "Sure, we'll take their liquor f we can pay them with butter and pork and otiier stuff." Mr. Peek has long felt that agriculture has been neglected In its possibilities for export, contending that too much emphasis has been placed during the last 15 years on the exportation of Industrial prod ucts. CHESTER DAVIS, who was slated Mr. Peek as admiof the AAA, has been in charge of the crop coutrol section. Though long a close friend of Mr. Peek, he sided with Secretary Wallace and Assistant Secretary Tugwell in the dis- - f r pute.

It Is absolutely untrue that he obstructed progress." With Mr. Peek moved to a new post, officials associated with him were considering plans for extensive revision of the methods of handling marketing agreements In the AAA.

Edward A. O'Neal, president of the federation, called the federal farm adjustment act the "Magna Oharta of agriculture," saying that "at last farmers have the machinery and the power to obtain a fair share of the consumer's dollar." For forty years, he said, the farmer has been getting less and less of this dollar, but by use of the full powers of the agricultural adjustment administration, he declared, this trend can be turned the other way.
