WALLACE PRAISES
SMALL A.A.A. UNITS
"True Democracy" IncIuf
Ing Economic Phase, Held
ExempIified There.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Henry A. Wallace peered
into the future today and saw the
possibility of true democracy" for
America.
The Agricultural Secretary, whom
New Dealers hail as one of their top
notch thinkers and philosophers,
pinned his hopes in part on the work
of farmers in production control asso-
Citations. These are local groups that
take hand in adjusting local prob
lens as part of A. A. AS gigantic
attempt to restore agriculture.
In the long view of history" Wal
lace told the Associated Press, things
that are happening now on the g.
100000 farms of the country may be
the beginning of new epoch, in
which democracy, embracing the eco
nomlc as well as the political field.
becomes for the first time a reality"
Speaks of Adjustment.
As far as agricultural adjustment
Is concerned the Secretary added:
Il think there is a strong pos
sibility that the local groups will one
day take over all the work of agri-
cultural adjustment except those ma
tional decisions which can be best
made by a central organization cor
relating the needs and productivity
of all groups"
Illustrating the point, he reiterated
a statement from his book, New
Frontiers, which said:
"A modern democracy. In my opin-
lon, is essentially a graded hierarchy
of New England town meetings with
responsible, democratically selected
people dealing with the hard facts
at every step.
Again and again the methods en-
ployed by county control associations
in the A. A. A. seem to me to point
the way"
Many Mistakes Admitted.
The Secretary hopes that the people
will respond to this movement. He
acknowledged that the control asso-
Citations which make necessary ad-
justments with individual farmers
had made thousands of
them" A few of these were deliberate,
with intent to defraud, he said, but
most of them honestly developed the
concept of justice for the parts in
terms of the whole"
The men and women in these
groups and the people with whom
they dealt dropped the mean, grasp
ing local attitude and stretched their
thinking" he said rather proudly.
They developed the backbone
needed to resist the pressure of power
full men striving to get more than
their just deserts. Thousands of
people thus began for the first time
to think in vivid, unprejudiced way
of larger relationships
This innovation in the democratic
system, the Secretary added, lis
enormously significant, especially if
more definite social machinery is
eventually provided to bring about a
council of agriculture, labor, industry
and consumers"

STEEL STRIKE BILL
GIVEN PRECEDENCE
Wagner Measure May Be
Out for Stop-Gap
Labor Law.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Abandonment of the Wagner Labor
Board bill until next session and en-
actment instead of temporary power
for the administration to handle such
labor disputes as the projected steel
strike, was indicated more strongly at
the Capitol today.
Hugh S. Johnson, Senator Wagner
Democrat. of New York and Labor
Department experts were working on
the new stop-gap legislation.
While details we're withheld, it ap-
peared to embrace legislative instead
Of the present executive authority for
the N. R. A. Labor Board to conciliate
in the steel and other cases.
At the White House. the impression
was given that President Roosevelt
had no plans to ask the legislation,
however. This conflicted with in
formation at the House.
The resolution is supposed to be
brief and of a more or less general
and strictly temporary nature. Pre-
sumably efforts would be made to re-
vamp the Labor Board bill in a man
ner more acceptable both to capital
and labor between now and the jan
uary meeting of Congress.
Senate leaders said it was possible
that the new joint resolution would be
put through Friday or Saturday to
enable the President to act.
johnson maintained his plan for
a steel industrial relations board is
admirable and workable"
At press conference johnson said
no replies had been received to his
request for suggestions to improve on
the proposal to set up a represent
alive three-man board designed to
head off the threatened steel strike.
Undecided on Meeting.
Johnson said he had not yet de-
cided whether to attend the Pitts
burgh meeting of the steel unions and
did not know whether he would send
any one to represent him.
Donald Richberg, N. r. A. counsel,
meanwhile. made plans to attend the
regular meeting of the American Iron
and Steel Institute Thursday in New
York.
Emergency action to avert the steel
strike may grow out of White House
conference today.

PRESIDENT SIGNS
ALLEY MEASURE
Official Act Is Performed
Before Mrs. Hopkins,
Who Gets Pen.

A campaign conducted in Wash
ington to rid the city of unsightly and
unhealthy alley dwellings eliminated
today in President Roosevelt's sigma
ture OF an act of Congress providing
the first effective alley dwelling clos
ing law in the citys history.
The President signed the bill al
noon in the presence of Mrs. Archi-
bald Hopkins. who for more than a
quarter of century has led the
movement for such legislation.
Pen Given Mrs. Hopkins.
After signing the bill the President
handed the pen used by him to Mrs
Hopkins and personally complimenteo
her upon her activities in connection
with the legislation. Commissioners
Hazen and Allen witnessed the sign
ing as did DR.. Arson Phelps Stokes
canon of Washington Cathedral.
As the President was signing the
bill. he said he had always been Deep
~ interested in the question of hons
improvement and Identification in the
Capital city and he hopes this act
will serve a great purpose. He told
the. District Commissioners, who were
standing about him as he signed the
bill. that plans now can be formulated
to launch the project and he hoped
that this legislation would serve the
purpose of making Washington a
model city for the rest of the country
The President, in praising Mrs.
Hopkins for her work in the interests
Of this legislation, expressed the belief
the s500.000 revolving fund at the
disposal of the agency which would
take over alley clearance was by no
means sufficient. He suggested apph-
cations be filed at once with the Pub
lie Works Administration for sufficient
money to inaugurate the alley clear
ance projects on the proper scale.
Thanks Roosevelt.
In accepting the pen Mrs. Hopkins
thanked Mr.. Roosevelt for his praise
and for the memento Of an occasion
described by her as being very dear
to her heart. She said she was SO
years old, and had devoted more than
a quarter of century working in the
interests of bill of this kind for the
improvement of the Capital City.
This measure authorizes the PreSi-
dent TO designate an agency to carry
out the provisions of the alley-closing
law. The agency has not been Sc
lected, but it is believed the Presi-
dent has in mind some existing
agency familiar with the subject and
conditions. such as the National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commission.
The alley clearing under this meas
ure would be done Systematically over
period of years. To inaugurate the
movement there is provision for a
$500, 900 revolving fund to be at the
disposal of the agency named by the
President. This will be used in pay
ing for alley dwellings to be replaced
by either parks, garages or other more
presentable and profitable buildings.
Returns from sales or leases would be
returned to the revolving fund.
The alley-closing agency is author
lied to cooperate with certain cor
porations in carrying out the law,
which also contemplates provision of
housing accommodations for those
compelled to move out of the alleys.
