WASHINGTON, July 2. When a
lady correspondent who knows how
to put a double meaning Into her
P voice asked the president tf they
"caught any fish" on Jefferson isl
and, nobody missed the point, and
nobody got the answer.
But If you can believe a political
fisherman's story with any leas effort
than you can swallow one of the
Ica&k Walton variety, here's the
catch or what was left of It when
the trading on Capitol H1U was over:
1. A compromise court bill.
- a. Government reorganization.
3. Farm bill (ever-normal granary
et al.) .
For the court compromise without
a filibuster, there was offered one
of the constitutional amendments
tha oppositionist have asked for.
Whether the above la fish, flesh,
fowl and not Just another good,
redolent herring, time will tell. But
the. miraculous adventures of the
farm bill and the reorganization bill
, may as well be told now.
Why did the administration, after
backing the farm (ever-normal gran
ary et al) bill, drop it and then,
with apparently no reason, suddenly
attempt to bring It back to life?
Well, In the first place, the ad
ministration, or at least the secre
tary of agriculture, dropped It only
In the sense that a juggler drops a
ball once In a while Just to keep
up your Interest.
Then old Dame Nature took a hand,
recorded by a department of agri
culture release of June 29:'
"A 4-point drop In the Index of
prices received by farmers.
"Decline was attributed to Improv
ed crop prospect and partial ad
justment of prlcea to a new crop
basis"
To tha farmers, of course, the bul
letin was old stuff Just confirma
tion of what they already knew by
the twinges of their left elbows.
The price situation was a wonder
ful break because It meant more
kindly consideration of any stabilis
ation scheme. But Secretary Wallace
didn't depend on that alone he

WASHINGTON. July 2. (AP) Sen
ator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana
accused Indian Commissioner John
Collier today of "playing with the
lumber companies of the northwest
and approving fraudulent contracts
In connection with timber sales on
Indian lands.
The senator told Collier at a sena
Indian affairs committee hearing
"The lumber companies bribed the
Indians to get them to sign contracts
for timber and It was as wrong mor
ally for the department to approve
these contracts as for the Indians to
take the bribe. It was a shameful
piece of business on the part of the
Indian bureau.'
The senator's charge came during
testimony before the committee of
Wade Crawford, former superintend
ent of the Klamath reservation in
Oregon, who was dismissed by the
Indian commissioner recently. Craw
ford appeared before the committee
and presented charges against Collier
and sought vindication for hla re

states permitted a husbnnd and wife
each to report one-half of a family
Income for tax purposes although the
Income may have been earned by
