Mitchell's attempt to gain wide publicity for his Farm Bureau report ran into a snag when the Associated Press, featuring a possible suit for libel, refused to cover the story. See the STFU's press releases on the report (4) and letters from Frank McCallister (5,8) and Benjamin Marsh (16) on their efforts to get proper coverage. There are also two interesting letters reacting to the report from AF of L president William Green (4) and Aubrey Williams (5) The Articles of Incorporation of the Arkansas Farmers Co- Operative Association appear during this month (12), as does Mitchell's statement before the House Committee Investigating National Defense Migration (8)
