Hope is chairman of a 50-mnn Republican committee' of House members which recently sounded out "grass roots" sentiment at hearings in Salt Lake, Denver, Dallas, Minneapolis, Hutchinson, Des Molnes, and Springfield, IU He gave 1 this summary of ''voluntary opinions" expressed at the meetings, which he said were attended by both Republicans and Democrats: 1. Comment on the federal farm program ranged from "lavish pvalse" to severe condemnation; all seemed to think there should be "some kind of a government program; complaints related mostly to administrative red tape, delay and complicated reports which farmers must make.

Mostly Condemned 2. The trade agreements were condemned for the most part, with the proposed Argentine treaty arousing the most opposition. 3.
