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.
However, observers traveling around
he country can see It, especially

Governors' ctf Five States- fc
Conference With A'dmini&
tration Seek Immediate
AstieR for Relief Fara.ep&
WAS Hi NG TON, Kov. 3. (?) 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.
