I Highest yesterday 54 Lowest this mohnlng 43 Twenty-eighth Year By PAUL MAI.LON (Copyright, 1933, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. The ro mance of the fat lady and the midget can be explained far more easily than these current flirtatious signs between Al Smith and the Republi can master minds. Administration Democrats are be ginning to wonder about it. They became uneasy when the Republicans . chose Al'e good friend, George Gets, as treasurer of the Republican na tional committee. They consoled themselves with the thought that Al has many Republican friends. They marked the Getz story off as Just a atrange Incident. But their doubts were revived a few daya ago when the first antl Roosevelt statement leaked out from the Republican national committee. This atatement was headed: "Let's look at the record." Everyone who has a "raddlo" knows Al haa a copyright on that title. He was the Inventor and sole distributor of It In national and New Tork state politics. It Is as closely Identified with him as the brown derby. Questions. Such sly glances could not be con sidered seriously If It were not for the fact that Al hlmaelf has become the big question mark In the adminis tration mind. He lives, speaks and wrltea In ques tion marks. Hla magazine asks: "Does the Star Spangled Banner Still Wave?" "la the Constitution Still There?" "Where Are We Going?" The administration thinks It knows what those questions mean, but what it would like to know Is: "Does the Brown Derby Still Wave?" "Is the Old Spark Still There?" "Where Is Al Smith Going?". Answers. Most Insiders believe the Republi cans are following a shrewd strat egy by planning their opposition In terms of Smith. They look on the politico-editor as the coming leader of the Roosevelt opposition. They have no idea that the Republicans would want to nominate Smith for the presidency or that Smith would want the nomination. That would be silly. But they do believe that most of the Republican leaders and Smith are thinking along the same lines these days. Thla strange psychological 11a eon la very apt to continue and grow more intimate. At least It la aomethtng for the ad ministration to worry about. And that Is Just what the administra tion is doing. Omens, The Republicans are beginning to organize all right, Tou cannot see It in Washington. Bor some reason. Republicans sel dom come here any more. No doubt It Is something In the climate.

(?) A gigantic marketing agreement under the farm act, covering the major farm commodities of the middle west, waa proposed today at the conference be tween the administration and the governors of five states, as they sought agreement on an immediate farm price-lifting program. This trend in the discussion was reached after Secretary Wallace re ported to the White House 'that dif ficulties had arisen in the effort to work out a price lifting program. He said no report could be made to the president tomorrow. Under the new suggestion before the conference an agreement would be drawn up under which farmers who signed would be guaranteed a fixed price for their products to be based on "parity" levels. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.--(AP) The conference between five mid-western governors and administration offi cials in an effort to lift farm prices ran into difficulty today and Secre tary Wallace announced plans to this end would not be ready before to morrow. "We are finding It Is not quite as simple to work out details of the plan as it first seemed," said Wal lace, The secretary of agriculture spoke after reporting to President Roose velt today the progress of the farm program tentatively outlined by the president and mid-west governors yesterday. Agreement Lacking "It Is a question of getting them all to agree on something that is workable," Wallace said. "Tfte governors wanted fiat price fixing. I think they have found out It will have to be looked Into with considerable care. Among other things, In a limited area I think there Is the question that these statea might be holding the um brella over the others." Wallace said the attention of tfie governors had been called to the long amendment to the farm act, which specifically exempts farmers from Its licensing provisions. Licensing Barred The farm act also contains bars against the licensing of farmers. Encountering this legal obstacle, the governors then turned to con sideration of the possibility of 11 censing processors who buy farm products as a means of supporting a pNce ning prog-ram. Again, Wallace said, they learned f serious practical obstacles.
