WARY GRAVY-TRAINER
You can write it down that Secre
tary of Agriculture Claude Wickard
is going to be very chary about us
ing that gravy-train veto power the
farm lobby voted him in the price
control bill
He knows that the White Hous« is
still sputtering over his unauthorized
endorsement of this lobby scheme
at a crucial moment in the senate
tight over the legislation. Also, that
if he attempts to exercise the power
he is liable to be slapped down even
harder than when he fronted for the
lobby.
Actually, under cover, Wickard
has promised in effect to be a good
boy.
It didn't leak out at the time, but
during tlw secret deliberations of the
Joint senate-house conference com
mittee on the bill, he wrote the com
mittee a letter repudiating his pre
vious endorsement and saying he
didn't want the veto power over
farm prices.
Wickard wrote this letter under

age had been done, for the amend
ment was in the bill and the lobby's
pr.ls on the joint committee were in
a powerful position to stand pat.
'
In this Anal bitter fight, two Ala
bama Democrats and a Michigan
Republican were responsible for the
retention of the gravy-train provi
sion They were Sen. John H. Bank-
head and Rep. Henry B. Steagall of
Alabama, and Rep. Jesse P Wolcott
of Michigan.
As the amendment originated in
the senate, under the rules, it was
necessary for the house conferees
to propose deletion. Steagall, chair
man of the house group, publicly
makes a great show of being a red
hot Administrationite. But behind
closed doors of the committee room
he adamantly refused to heed Roose
velt's pfbas for elimination of the
lobby amendment.
Backed by Wolcott, who fought the
vital war bill from the start, and
with Bankhead running interference
in the senate group, Steagall forced
the retention of the provision.

chain, is near the Boston uavy j ard in the Charleston n district.
Wickard'» fronting for the farm
lobby in the price control bill isn’t
the only row he's had on this
score with inner administration
leaders.
The papers are full of stories
about a big crop expansion program
this year to meet the food needs of
U. S. war allies. Frequent press re
leases issue from the busy publicity
staff of the agriculture department
about grandiose plans.
The real inside is that Wickard
didn't get busy on these plans until
he was practically ordered to do so
by Vice President Henry Wallace as
head of the Economic Warfare
board.
Wallace sent Wickard two sharp
letters demanding prompt action to
expand crop production and only
then did Wickard bestir himself.
Certain farm elements are against
crop expansion, on the ground that
scarcity makes for better prices,
Working through politically minded
Triple A officials, who have a lot of
influence with Wickard, the anti-ex-
panders kept him on the fence until
Wallace jarred him off.
Note: Secretly, the AAA politicos
also had a lot to do with Wickard's
endorsement of the gravy-train
amendment in the price bill. The
AAAers are jealous of Price Admin
istrator Leon Henderson’s authority,
want to elbow their way into
war set-up as big shots.
