DAVIS ANSWERS
 BORAH CHARGES
New Bureaus Seek to Do What Idaho Senator
 Has Demanded

Great Falls, Mont, August 10 - (UP) - AAA Administrator Ches- ter C. Davis answered charges of bureaucracy by Senator William F. Borah, republican, Idaho, today with a defense of the New Deal farm program.
 The address marked the first ef- fort by an administration spokes- man to reply in detail to the recent criticism of the Idaho senator.
 "The new agencies were quickly stablished." Davis told farm gathering here. Ut probably is true that to some extent they have overlapped with each other and, in some branches, may have ac- quired over expanded personnel "I concede to Senator Borah the right and the duty as a senator and citizen to call attention of the American people to these things when he finds them, and ac- knowledge he may be performing a service when he asks for their correction.

 Davis outlined Borah's own fight for relief for agricultural regions and in behalf of direct federal re- lief.
