All the husbands spokesmen deny it.
They assert the policy is permanent and
irrevocable They have to. They cam
not afford to show any signs of weak

sition.
But down deep underneath there are
good reasons for believing the admins
tratton actually is using the opposition
to sound out the country on the subject.
The decision as to phat Uiu be
done lies in reactions to come
from the hinteTland
Administration tacticians noted that
the sending Of checks for cotton down
South had an effect of soothing the
demand for imitation there They ex-

going out to Iowa and the Central West
will have q similar effect.
Other Plans Being Tried.

Pork-Buying Deal
Profit by Packers
Worries Officials
$I,2OO,OOO Made on Pur.
chase; May Bring Ne,o
Methods.
By the Associated Press.

Agriculture Department officials are
somewhat worried over whether the
Government got stuck ON a recent
purchase of hogs for relief distribution.
1t looked to Secretary Wallace as If
packers had made a neat $1,000 600
on the deal. As a result, he told re-
porters the department may change
its method of letting contracts in max
ing purchases for relief distribution
to system similar to a cost-plus ar
rangement
The relief administrator. Harry H
Hopkins. recently asked for $4,000 900
pounds of dressed pork. This involved
approximately 800 600 hive hogs weigh
ing so, 0O0. 600 pounds. The contracts
were awarded at $6 q hundred pounds
on live hogs.
Right after the contracts we're
awarded, Wallace said, the price Of live
hogs dropped to So 80 a hundred, CIV
ing the packers a profit Of 2 cents a
pound or $l,200000 on the 10000 900
pounds Of live hogs.
Wallace said several packers wired
Hopkins for more business. He added,
however, that the packers had a de-
Tense in that there had been q heavy
run Of cattle to market and that this
had depressed hog prices. -

Whether these combined quieting ef-
forts will have enough effect to stimu-
late popular support for the Sprague-
Baruch ideas Is the question.
Withdrawal from the gold
policy Mould be technically easy.
All Mr. Roosevelt Uould haze to
do is to stop buying gold.
1t would not be 80 easy to devise an
other policy for attaining the 1926 COM
modify price level. That fact will make
the administration reluctant to relin-
quist its existing policy unless the op-
position is formidable.
Even then, 1t will not drop this plan
without substituting another with a
similar objective.
Wallace Wakes Philosophical.
Agriculture Secretary wallace is sup
posed to be the author Of an eight-word
classic in descriptive analysis.
Some friends were talking with him
about the fact that when the South
started bowling for imitation, the Gov
ernment started lending money on cot
ton at 10 cents. Also. that when the
corn belt yodeled more recently, it re-
ceived the corn-hog checks.
Wallace is quoted as having observed,
phil0sophically, ITS the squeaky wheel
that gets the grease"
Whether or not he said it, it is true.

s1tion that the existing civil service
requirements for District employees are
entirely too weak and should be
strengthened. The executive order of

Question Of Rescinding Order.
There Is division of opinion among
District officfals as to whether Presf-
dent Roosevelt would have to rescind
the Hoover executive order TO remove
the semi-civil service status Of District
emp1byes
Some point out that the Hoover or
der merely authorizes application of
the principles of civil service to the Dis
trict workers. and that the former Board
OF Commissioners. jointly with the Civil
Service Commission, issued the rules
which put the plan into effect.
They fear the present Board Of Com
missioners could, with approval of the
Civil Service Commission, destroy the
plan by amending the rules in accord
ance with the joint agreement between
the Board Of Commissioner and the
Civil Service Commission.
Others. however, take the position
that while the Hoover order merely
authorized" application of the civil
service principles to the District serv-
ice, it nevertheless can be construed,
coming from the White House, as man
datory. In such case, Il was declared.
President Roosevelt would be required
to rescind the order before the rules
could be changed.
