PEEK AND WALLACE
REMAIN At ODDS
Belief Still Prevails That
Farm Administrator win
Be Transferred.
Ax the Associated press

| By the Associated Press.
Although President Roosevelt yester-
day indicated possibility that George
N. Peek would remain with the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration the
belief still prevailed in other ofaciAl
circles today that Peek soon would quit
his post as farm administrator.
| Peek has differed with Secretary wal
lace on matters Of general policy, and
open friction led to . round OF con-
ferences ut the White House. Inter-
position by the President, however,
failed to reconcile the two and at the
Farm Administration yesterday both
groups frankly said they did not expect
Peek to remain.
Transfer Plan Proposed.
Aligned with Secretary wallace were
virtually al the professoriaI element at
the administration and members OF
groups that regard peek's views as too
conservative.
Mr.. Roosevelt has tried to bring peace
among the 0ficials mtrusted with ad-
ministration Of the measure to relieve
a&I1cultttre.
A transfer to another post has been
suggested for Peek, although authorfta-
tive quarters at the White House denied
the administrator has been offered a
place with the State Department or a
head of governmental corporation to
stimulate farm commodity exports.
Peek's friends said they regarded 1t
as unlikely that he would remain with
the Government il he left the Farm Ad.

velt personally requested him to stay.
Situation Appears Calm.
Outwardly. the situation at the Farm
Administration Is quiet. The ofiices of
the Secretary and the administrator are
separated by only q short corridor, but
they did not confer yesterday.
Chester C. Davis. head Of the admin-
istration's production division, has been
mentioned as q possible successor to
Peek. Davis. long associated with the
administrator, has attempted to mediate
difnculties between the two factions
The administrator Supporters said
they blamed Rexford c. Tugwell. for
ner Columbia professor. and now As
sistant Secretary OF Agriculture. and
Jerome Frank, attorney for the ad-
ministration. for much Of the dissen-
sion that led to the open breach.
Other officials asserted. however,
Peek's refusal to admit that the Secre-
tary had final authority caused the
clash.

extradition to North Carolina, lost IN
the Tennessee Supreme Court today.
The high court affirmed the ruling
Of Criminal Judge John T. Cunning
ham, who had sustained North Caro-
lma's demurrer to the Leas' petition
for a writ Of habeas corpus.
Lea and his son instituted habeAs
corpus PROCEEDINGS after Gov. Hill Nc
Alister had ordered their extradition
to North Carolina. WHARF they were
convicted more than two years ago Of
violating the State banking lava. The
elder was sentenced to six TO ten years'
imprisonment. and Lea. n. was given
the alternative Of paying S7s. 900 IN

Gov. McAliSter last February termed
the Leas "fusitives from justice" and
ordered them extradited to North Caro-

their conviction through the courts Of

eessfully to the United States Supreme

Two Opinions.
There were two opinions. The prin-
cfpal opinion was by Chief Justice
Grafton Green, Justice william swiG-
gart and Justice w. L. Cook. The other
opinion by Justice A. W. Chambiim and
Justice Colin p. McKinney eoneurred
in the conclusions reached, but by dif-

A summary Of the opinions follOws:
"All the members Of the court concur
in the conclusion that the petition for
habeas corpus must be dismissed and
the Judgment affirmed
IAN agree that this court cannot pass
on the guilt or innocence Of the petf-
