Health Officer George NJ Roteler. re-
signed yesterday to accept a better

DR.. Boteler. who has been in the

the federal departments
The position of assistant health Of

times during the past three years

So it comes about that many farm
ers' spokesmen are willing to let
Mr. Hoover take the markets to his
orphan asylum in the hope that Mr..
Wallace can then do a better Job
by crop estimates and warehouse
regulations. There is, apparently,
very little resentment toward Secre-
tary Wallace himself. Nobody among
the sentries here doubts the genuine
ness of his interest in the welfare
of the farmer.
The resignation of Assistant Secre-
tary Pugsley and the reorganization
of the states relations service are
said to afford a favorable opportu-
nifty for the further changes now
expected.

Regulation Doubtful.
Whether the District Commission,

strike taken by Gov. Pinchot OF Penn
