MELLON CRITICISM
STIRS FRIENDS OF
MCNARY FARM BILL

Washington. June 15.-(P)-With
supporters of the McNary farm bill
plainly aroused by, Secretary MELONS,
outspoken criticism of its provisions,
the Senate ploughed along today to-
ward a final vote on the measure with
debate limited to 80 minutes on the
bill and Is minutes on amendments
for each senator.
Several champions of the proposal,
similar to the IIaughen bill recently
turned down by the House. remained
in their offices during most of the
days session to prepare replies to the
views of the treasury head, made pub
lie yesterday, and indications were
that his stand would be challenged
by various senators before a final vote
is reached.
|. After Senator Tess of Ohio floor
manager for the Republican opponents,
had inserted in the Congressional Rec
ord the Mellon letter to the group of
House members who had requested his
views, Senator Simmons, Democrat
North Carolina, an advocate of the bill,
inquired if all departments of the gov
eminent were "aligning themselves
against this measure"
When the Ohio senator replied that
he had mo information" Senator Sim
mons remarked: probably this is a
movement for the purpose of bringing
the consolidated pressure of the adj
ministration and all the departments
against this bill"
Late in the day Senator Norbeck, Re-
publican, North Dakota, obtained
unanimous consent to disregard the de-
bate limit and for more than an hour
appealed for aid for the wheat farm
ers of the northwest. He warned that
if they were not given the benefit of
the tariff they would tear down the
tariff wall as Samson tore down the
pillars of the temple
"The money which the government
wrunG out of the farmer in the ma
nipulation of wheat prices during the
war" he added. would be sufficient
to pay the equalization fee of the
pending bill for a thousand years."

Some of the more radical think
ers even go so far as to allege
that it is the worst ball club New
York has known since the pitiful
Yankees of Wolverton and Chance
and these were bad beyond all
reason. 1t seems to be the con-
sensus of dispassionate opinion that
the Yanks will contest the Red Sox
with strenuous enthusiasm for the
distinction of finishing last.
That, at any rate, is the cur
rent lOw-dOWn on the club and it
appears to apply i'm toto, our Mr..
Ruth very much included. The
Babe, i'm fact. is being roasted to
a rich, brown turn in some
quarters for what Is charac-
terized as his indifference"
During a recent inter-league game
with the Braves, they say his
casual interest in the proceedings
did not include such details as
running out infield taps and ac-
cepting thrown balls in practice.
That doesn't sound very much like
the regenerate Babe who went South.
20 pounds lighter than normal, to
reclaim his lost youth. For some
reason Ruth has been unable to hit
the size of his neckband, although
there isn't the slightest doubt that
he is in fine physical condition. In
five games played to date, he has
made just one hit. a short single.
But his performance has begun
neither better nor worse than that of
the rest Of the club.
1t is said to have become afflict-
ed with a vast apathy. which deep
ened as the Braves proceeded to
win by scores of 6 to l and IL to 2.
Meantime, the second team has
beaten the regulars three straight
games, the last Of which was q one
hit shut-Out.
This is all very sad, of course. but
it may be that many Of the mourn
ers are Just bit premature. The
club cannot possibly be as bad as
they say IL Is with all it's potential
hitting, backed up by some reason
ably adequate pitching. which will
come just as soon as the boys get
around to it.
However. neither Tony Lazerri
nor Mark Koenig. minor league
riots. have been impressive and,
since they have been selected as
the keystone combination. the en-
tire ball club is left holding the bag.
Lazerri. in particular, has fallen
down on his reputation, although it
might be we'll to give this young
man a chance before shouting him
down.
In the opinion of many, the
smart move is to place Aaron Ward
at shortstop and hare done with It.
