WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. The be
heading of Messrs, Frank, Howe, et
al, points to a rather general Inside
situation. Apparently no new dealer
except President
Roosevelt him
self could get
Insurance on his
political life
thene days.
Hardly a week
passes without
some new pub
lished rumor of
a possible resig
nation. Those
who have been
mentioned with
in the past few
months Include VAVL MALLON
Messrs. Ickcs, Moffett, Clay Williams,
Peek, Blddlc, Ben Cohen and sundry
lesser lights. These rumors seldom
turn out to be true, but they reflect
an Inner conflict and commotion
which approaches confusion.
Newsmen do not sit around and
dream these rumors. They come gen
erally from new officials whose re
liability cannot be Ignored, but who
often have some particular ax of
their own to grind.
The erroneous rumor that Chester
Davis, vlctorloxis AAA administrator,
would retire came, at least partially,
from no less an authoritative source
than Mr. Davis himself. A newsman
obtained the original tip elsewhere
and conferred with Mr. Davis before
writing the story. Mr. Davis did noth
ing to stop the story until several
days later.
Apparently, Mr. Dnvls did not know
at the time where he stood, and dis
covered It only three days before the
guillotine was let fall on his oppon
ents. lucre can o iiu quunnuu ituuub
what happened In the wholesale
shake-up In the agriculture adjust
ment administration. Certain new
deal smoothies are naturally trying
to make it look like a long-contemplated
routine reorganization Just
sort of
thing. This is the customary official
excuse, but It Is so old that no one
la really expected to believe It.
What happened waa that the Tug
welllan clique leaders were fired,
ousted, canned. It was done without
advance warning while their benefac
tor, Prof. Tugwell, waa away. (He was
In Florida on official business, pos
sibly Inspecting sea shells on the
beach.)
What caused It was a mixture of
personal and fundamental animosi
ties, none of which seems to be as
Important as the contestants think
It is.
Political seers undoubtedly will see
behind It another new deal swing to
the right, possibly even a step toward
fascism. There Is a small grain of
truth in that Interpretation, but not
more than a grain. The plain fact Is
that the AAA chicken Is all left wing,
and there are no fascist gizzards in
side it anywhere.
A simpler interpretation would
seem to be that the extreme left
wing tip has been clipped and that
Is all.
The main practical effect will be
to give the farm groups unrestrained ,
control. Weakened will be the con
flicting consumers' protection re
straint and the college professor in
fluence. (Tugwell has had nothlnc to
do with the AAA for eight months.)
It has been domed, but.the point
which finally brought the break was
a quarrel over prying Into the books
of processors. Tupwelllan Attorney
Frank was eager to do It. So was
Consumer Counsel Fred Howe. They
framed a very strong amendment to
be passed by congress.
The Chester Davis clique did not
like the wording of the amendment,
and presumably did not care much
for the idea, although a somewhat
less stringent amendment Is now
promised by them.
The dismissed Tucwrlltans also de
manded closer supervision of mar
keting agreements; full right to in
vestigate profit and cost data; rigid
control of dairies, canners. millers,
etc.
These big pre.vure dTnandf made
Mr. Davis boil over lat week. He went
privately to the boss. Agriculture
Secretary Wallace, who has tried to
be fair to both sides. Mr. Dsvls took
with him all his accustomed crlef
and evidence of aharp-ahootln from
his adversaries. He demanded what Is
commonly known as a show-down

-FISHING GEAR BAN
SALEM, Feb. a. CP) By a 23 to 7
vote, the upper house of the legisla
ture yesterday favored prohibition of
the use of traps and seines for fish
ing in the lower Columbia river, and
submission of the question to a vote
of the people as provided in the meas
ure introduced by Senator P. M
Pranclscovlch.
Upon resurpptlon of the debate on
the measure at the afternoon session
an attempt was mode by Senator
Isaac Staples to refer the bill to com
mittee for simplification, but his mo
tion lost 23 to 7.
Francisco vlch resumed his argu
ment for the measure, and declared
that an earlier suggestion by Senator
Pearson to let the governor'a planning
commission delve into the fishing in
dustry and make Its recommendations
at the next legislature, was nothing
but a "stall."
"If you want t get rid of this fiah
fight," he shouted, "put It under
federal regulations. It Is the recom
mendation of the federal bureau of
fisheries that traps and selnea be reT
moved from the Columbia river, and
I stand back of any legislation to
put- this matter under the federal
bureau."

ENLIVENS DEBATE
ON BANKING BILL
Assertion That Solon Pro,

Prestige Brings Bitter Re
ply to Unnamed Critic
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. (AP) An
attack by Senator Carter Glass on an
unnamed critic and a reply by form
er Senator Robert L. Owon of Okla
homa, served today to keep the de
bate over the treasury's banking bill
to the forefront.

week that a promise was broken

he resented being classed as against
the bill before he had an opportun
ity to read It.
Stung Ry Criticism
He opened flro on a critic who,
he said, had charged him w'th pro
ceeding on "undeserved prestige."
Without mentioning any names, the
Virginian declared:
"I may say that whatever prestige,
if any, I may have was not gotten
by using my position as a member
of tho banking and currency commit
tee of either house of congress to
gamble In foreign exchange with a
prison -convict partner nor in any at-
tempt to Influence the action of the
federal reserve authorities for my own
pecuniary benefit."
Former Senator Owen, now presi
dent of the national monetary con
ference, had made a statement on
Tuesday saying Glass was "using an
undeserved prestige as sn expert In
monetary science against the public
Interest."
Owen Rejoin
Last night, after the Glajui attack
Owen Issued a further statement say
ing:
"Of course I would not charge Car
ter Glass with the undeserved pres
tige of 'gambling with a, 'prlson
convlct partner, or, for that matter,
of compounding with the two thieves
upon the cross, to sup with them
in paradise. I hope, however, that
paradise will be hi destination. There
may be left some shred of charity
In his heart.
"But If I have attempted to In-

of property valua ... It was In be
half of the property of the entire

ROGERS
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.,
Feb. 7. Guess who I found
when I pot to the coast this
morning! Max Baer and Roger
Babson, a couple of my favor
ites. Max likes to fight (a rare
combination in a modern prize
fighter), and Babson is a pre
dictor (and a good one) and
he likes to predict. He is the
only man that can meet a
Chamber of Commerce face to
face and out-prcdict 'cm.
Vhilc in the East I had a
two-hour talk with Frank Kent.
He said I wouldn't listen to
him, but I did, and I learned
a lot. Frank knows, Lippmanu
knows. I missed Mr. Brisbane,
n fact of which I am sorry. Met
Mr. Martin, the editor of Time
magazine. Saw the very first
showing of March of Time nn
the screen. It interferes with
nothing but supplies much that
we should know. .
Yours,
