Price Sees Heir to Rainey

\OlllCl VI Dulcdu, l llt ASSOCldttu
 Press, Washington
 The only sure thing that can be said now about the House Speak ership is that Speaker Rainey's death leaves the field wide open.
 Current discussion is purely speculative. It will be weeks be- fore there is any decision. The situation may turn in any one of several directions. 6
 DSniocrats go on the theory the new House will be Den1ocratic- by a reduced majority-and few Republicans claim otherwise. That would make Representative Byrns, the present Democratic floor lead CT, the logical heir apparent.
 Byrns' leadership has been inef- fective, however, on some crucial roll calls. A decided opposition to him has been apparent among some House groups. One possi- bility is he may be advanced to the Speakership, partly to clear the way for a more aggressive floor leader.
 The whole set-up points to a probability that two men-none other than President Roosevelt and his chief legislative agent, Vice. President Garner-will make the decision.
 What they agreed upon probably would go over. But first they will want to analyze the returns from the November election.

DROUGHT A RECOVERY AID?

The general disposition has been to regard the drought as barrier to National Recovery-but is it?
 The depression started on the farm. Agriculture suffered several lean years before hard times spread to other economic groups. A gen. erally accepted belief has been that an indigestable farm surplus was the original cause of the trouble.
 The surplus depressed prices, so that the farmer got next to noth- ing for his crops and hence the next to nothing to spend. Eventu- ally that meant a tremendous dent in the nations purchasing power. Factories and stores closed down because the market had become much narrowed.
 Now the surplus no longer is a major problem. Farm prices are much higher, and on top of them the farmer is reaping various re- lief and other benefits. It may seem strange, but the latest off cial figures show that the aggre- gate purchasing power of the Am erican farmer is up, not down.
 So what will be the effect, talk ing the long view? Is there a pos sibility that real recovery now is on the way because nature reversed the process by which, during the years of plentiful crops. the de- pression first began to make itself felt?

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, January 1s.-Four United
States citizens were sentenced to six
months and day imprisonment today
for assaulting a civil guard last year at
Palma, Mallorca.
The court acquitted Rutherford Full
lerton, Columbus. Ohio, one of five
Americans concerned in the incident.
Those who must 60 to jail are: Mr..
and Mrs. Clinton B. Lockwood of West
Springfield, Mass; Roger F. Mead Of
New York and Edmund w. Blodgett Of
Stamford, Conn.
All five Of the Americans were ar
rested last year after an alteration in
hotel with a civil guard. q court
martial offense.
The military court acquitted them Of
guilt after they had been held in jail
six weeks. while the United States Gov
ernment sought their release, but Mill
tary Auditor Morales then placed the
case in the Jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court. The prosecution asked prison
terms of six months and one day for
each defendant.
In its ruling today the court did not
recommend a pardon. but the govern
ment can be asked to pardon the de-
fendantS.
1t was, reported in governmental cir
cles that cabinet ministers would ask
for the pardon of those Americans found
guilty.
The Supreme Court based its deci-
sion today on an article of the military
code, which provides penalties for q
spoken insult against the armed forces
of Spain
Fullerton was released because no
proof was offered that he had partici-
pated in the insult.
The attorneys in the case will be in
formed formally tomorrow Of the de-
ciSion.
United States Ambassador Claude
Bowers planned to 60 to the ministry
of state at once to discuss the court s
decision, despite the fact that 1t has
not yet been announced oficially.
Observers were unable to find prec-
edent for the conviction of Mrs. Lock
wood and 1t was regarded as the first
time that a woman has been ordered
to Jail in such case.
