Take the "relief
Paul Mallon. compromise" now
being widely advertised as having
been effected between the house
majority and the White House. To
the ear It sounds like a minor con
cession of an Insignificant point, but
It actually represents the first time
the president has ever bowed to the
lower branch of the legislature.
. At the same time, the set-backs
to the president's court packing pro
gram In the senate are being handled
so casually that the outside world
Is not yet aware that the legislation
haa already been defeated. This also
marks the first time the president
baa failed to have his way with the
upper, but not necessarily loftier,
branch of congress.
What It means, aa all legislative
students know. Is that the rule of
thumb appears to be Just about
over. When legislators once find out
there U no bogeyman, they rarely
forget it.
A period of more normal relations
between the capltol and the White
House seems to be In prospect, with
both sides taking and giving, as the
constitution decreed they should.
The smoothness with which the
relief compromise negotiations were
handled Is due largely to house floor
leader, Rayburn. His associate; lead
ers thought he made a mistake when
ha faced the house with an appeal
for delaying the fight until today.
They told him so. outside. They
judged the mood of the rebels to be
Implacable and suggested, he would
only be sticking his nose out for the
blow If he tried to handle them.
Mr. Rayburn thought be would get
licked anyway and might as well take
It while trying rather than running.
This Is the first opportunity he
has had to show leadership since
the session began. Nothing but his
pacific personality put it over. More
and more' of that quality will be
needed from now on.
The good neighbor policy seems to
be working all right internationally.
(A more accurate way to describe
it might be that it is not working
to any appreciable extent and there
fore la all right). But some deep
trouble is developing In Mr. Roose
velt's own forty-eight spartment
building which may cause the land
lord to try a good neighbor policy
on the state tenants at home.
The twenty-first amendment Is
doing it. That prohibition repealer

shelled Almerla In reprisal.
II Duce and Marshal Werner Von

meanwhile, flew here for conferences

that complete withdrawal of Italy's

Warnings also were sounded that

WASHINGTON, June l.(P) Sec
retary Hull has expressed to both the
German and Spanish ambassadors In
Washington this government's earnest
hope that their nations will be able
to adjust amicably their differences
In the Spanish civil strife.
Invoking the good offices of this
government in an attempt to ward
off a serious crista In Europe aa
result of the German bombardment
yesterday of the Spanish government
port of Almerla, Hull conveyed hts
message In personol conversation with
the envoys.
He first summoned German Ambas
sador Hans Dleckhoff to the privacy
of bis apartment yesterday and told
the envoy informally of this govern
ment's urgent hope for a peaceful
settlement of the Almorla Incident.
The Spanish ambassador, Per nan
do De Los Rlos, called at the state
department today to express to the
secretary of state his government's
emphatic protest over what he term
ed Germany's violation of the non
Intervention agreement and of inter
national law In firing on Almeria.
In reply, Hull repeated to him vir
tually the same message he conveyed
yesterday to Dleckhoff.
Meanwhile, the ranking Republican
on the house foreign affairs commit
tee Representative Fish of New York,
said the Spanish attack on the Ger
man battleship Deutschland was "Jus
tifiable" the German bombardment
In reprisal against Almerla, Spain,
was "an outrage against humanity.
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad," he said In a state
ment. "Mussolini and Hitler appar
ently are madmen who would not
hesitate to start another Worid war
and bring on the senseless slaughter
of millions of peaceful people for
their own aggrandizement."
Hull's unusual action mirrored the
anxiety felt by high officials here
over the International crista precipi
tated by the Almeria bombardment.
He acted only after studying at
length official reports from abroad.
The action became known today
shortly after Spanish Ambassador Per

EXPERTS PREDICT
1937 SETS PEAK
FARM PROSPERITY
Prices and Demand Higher
With Fewer to Share It
Four Trends Shown
WASHINGTON, June 1. (AP)
Government expert who keep an
eye on the farmer's purs and Its
buying power, predicted today that
1037 may set a new peak in agri
cultural recovery.
The economists based their fore
cast on these trends:
1. Cash Income of farmers the first
part of this year haa been the
largest since 1930 and may approach
$4,000,000 for the first six months.
2. The ratio of prices received by
farmers to prices which they must
pay has been most favorable since
1925.
3. Demand for farm products has
kept step with the advancing pace
of business and Industry.
4. There probably are fewer persona
on farms to share these advances.
Experts on agriculture and popu
lation pointed out the number ol
persons on farm decreases when
times are good and Increases during
a depression. More farm boys and
girls leave for Jobs in towns and
cities when urban employment in
creases, they explained.
Census tables enow farm popula
tion declined from about 32,000.000
In 1910 to 30.000,000 in 1930.
Prom 1930 to 1038, however, the
farm population increased more than
1.500.000. : - v . - : '
Gains In dollar volume of farm In
comes are reported by monthly tabu
lations of the bureau of agricultural
economics. It said cash farm Income
the first four months of 1937 at
2 .604 .000,000 was 27 per cent, or
554,000.000. above- last year and was
the highest since 1930.

noon. Her body was badly battered as
It struck protruding boulders on a

descent from the lake rim. Crater
Lake national park rangers said the
girl evidently slipped on the deep
snow as she tried to reach her broth
er Richard and a companion by cut
ting across a small area Inside the
rim.
It took houra to recover the body
which came to rest 80 feet from the

Richard Fraley ran to the lodge
and Helen Smith to the cafeteria to
call for help. Park headquarters
were notified from the lodge and
