Company Paid for Distrib-
uting His Writings.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chester H. Gray, Washington repre-
sentative Of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation, testified today before
the Senate lobby committee that the
American Cyanamid Co. had paid for
distributing publicity prepared by him
in regard to Muscle Shoals legislation.
Gray said his duties consisted of at
tempting to get bills passed in Congress
which the Federation advocated and in
attempting to defeat other bills. In adj
dition, he said he attended to FEEDER
alton business before the Agriculture,
Commerce. War and Interior Depart
ments
Tells Of Policy Decisions.
The policies Of the federation, he ex-
planned, were determined by the APP
proxime tely 100000 members, acting
through the board of directors and the
legislative committee.
Gray said the federation had author
lied him to advocate the proposal of the
American Cynamid Co. for Muscle
Shoals.
Chairman Caraway asked Gray why
he had declined to answer certain ques-
tons before the Senate agricultural
committee two years ago. Caraway
continued that Gray had testified he
had paid $1,000 for publicity, while the
president of the Cynamid Co said later
before the House military affairs COM
mittee, that he had paid for it.
Gray responded that he did not be-
lieve he had testified as quoted by Cara
way. He added that he had declined
to answer the questions two years ago
because they related to publicity not
handled by himself.
Explains Refusal to Answer.
Previously Gray had testified that he
had been authorized by the federation
to advocate the proposal of the Cyna-
mid Co. to lease the power and nitrate
plant at Muscle Shoals.
Explaining the ARRANGEMENT. he told
the committee the publicity referred to
was handled more than two years ago
by the National Agricultural Publishing
Co.. He added that he did not know
what it cost until W. B. Bell, president
OF the Cynamid Co.. testified recently
before the House military affairs conn
mittee that the expense was $1,000.
The publicity, he testified, advocated
the Cyanamid Co. proposal.
Asked why he had not told this to the
Senate agricultural. committee two
years ago when questioned by Senator
Norris, Republican, Of Nebraska, Gray
replied that he thought questions con-
corning the publicity should be an
swered by the publishing company
handling It.
Gray said he knew at that time that
the Cyanamid Co. was handling the
publicity.

Unlawful

Following the roof fire at the VIM.
Jackson home last night in which
there was no serious damage by
flames, Chief Joe Corbett issues a
warning to motorists regarding the
parking of cars in the vicinity of the
fire hall after the siren blows. When
the siren was sounded last night, a
number of local autos were parked
in and around the block occupied by
the fire hall. In one instance, one
of the trucks was forced to go up
over the curb at the courthouse cor
ner to avoid an accident.
Tags will be issued to violators of
this law at the next checkup and the
motorists will be forced to visit
Judge Everett.
Besides the above rules installed
by the local department, a copy of
the state law, which will be enforced,
is given as follows:
"It shall be unlawful for the driver
of any vehicle to follow any fire ap-
paratus travelling in response to a
fire alarm closer than five hundred
feet or to drive into or park such
vehicle within the block where fire
has stopped in answer to
a fire alarm, unless permitted to do
so by a police or fire department Of
ficers."
