HOUSE OBEDIENCE
SEEN BY LEADERS
Base Forecast on Roosevelt
Victory in Passage of
T.V. A. Measure.

BY the Associated Press.
Looking back at the 278-to-100 vote
by which the House approved Tennes-
see Valley Authority amendments ac-
ceptable to President Roosevelt, Demo-
cratic leaders today predicted "the
House will stay in line from now on. P"
Speaker Byrns was one OF the fore
casters, saying he expected compare
lively smooth sailing"
at indicates" he said. that the
House vote rejecting the utilities
death sentence was not q revolt
against the President, but just an
honest difference of opinion"
Talk of postmastership nominations
cropped out on Capitol Hill as legis-
lators discussed yesterdays admins
tration victory on T. v. A. One high
Democratic chief, speaking privately.
said he saw no direct connection be-
tween the House voting on T. v. A.
end $50 postmaster nominations made
end sent to the Senate for conf1rma-
ton. But he added:
If were doubtful on the question.
and if I were told that the President
would rather have no bill than the
one reported by the committee. and
If a postmaster nomination in which
I was interested went to the Senate,
i'd be inclined to think twice before
! voted wrong"
Representative Mclean, Republican,
Of New Jersey, leading opponent OF
the T. v. A. bill passed by the House,
had this to say on the subject Of
postmasters:
1T is the same old game that has
been practiced from the time of
George Washington down. I'm not
surprised. I expect politician to
use every power he has. would If
I could"
President Victorious.
Other legislators stressed different
factors. They recalled that at last
Tuesdays conference the President
told 13 House leaders ne would rather
have no bill unless four alterations
backed by the administration were
made in the measure. Consequently
the 13 men worked hard for the alter
ations, which won.
Another legislator contended that
every so often the House has to kick
over the traces" Having done that
on the utilities measure, he said, 1t
would "stay in line from now on"
A third party chief reminded that
appeals by mail. telegram and per-
sonal visits had deluged members,
urging them to work against the
utilities bill the President wanted.
There was no such deluge on the
T. v. A.
The T. v. A. bill is now in Senate
House conference because the legisla-
ton as previously passed by the Sem
ate is not exactly like the House
measure. though similar to it.
When the measure reached the
Senate late yesterday. that body
speedily went through parliamentary
maneuvers necessary to send to con-
ference the House bill and the similar
Norris bill passed by the Senate weeks
ago. The House Military Committee
had tabled Norris original measure.
Senators Norris, Republican. of Ne
braska; Smith, Democrat, Of South
Carolina, and Wheeler, Democrat. OF
Montana were named as the Senate
conferees.

Cooperate On Programs
The programs of work in most of
the high schools call for consider
able improvement through the adult
as well as the younger farmer.
Calling of meetings, giving demon
strations in poultry culling, COW
testing, vaccinating of poultry and
livestock, and operation of nuner-
GUS test plots in production, cover
crop planting, pest control and fer
t!lizer efficiency, are few of these
services being performed for the
adult farmers in the district.
The services of the state insti-
tuition at the head of all the VEGA
tional agriculture, is of similar ma
ture but statewide in scope. In
structors at the California Poly
technic school are requested daily
for information concerning practical
production problems. Several bull
letins for high school students on
commercial operation of various sg-
ricultural products, are in the pro-
cess of completion.
Weekly and monthly radio pro-
grams over western network
reach hundreds. of thousands OF
famrers, as well as high school stu
dents. Material is prepared by these
experts at the state technical
school. They are also called upon
in an advisory capacity to work
with statewide committees of agri-
cultural organizations, act as judges
at fairs and in high school project
competition, and assist in getting
local high school vocational agri-
culture programs under way.
The service of this school has
grown considerably in the last two
years, it is declared. During this
period, the entire nigh schol pro-
gram has been correlated through
the state scnool, while the spread
of the enrolment has assisted in
carrying the service through the me-
dunn of graduates, to the adult
farmers of the state. Students are
now enrolled from 80 of the agri-
cultural counties. Imperial county
has 4 students at the school.
This is the last of a series of four

agement in his permanent farming

ANNUAL BALL
Of FIREMEN
FINE SUCCESS

the Ell Centre fire department,
bringing to an end an evening of
splendid dancing and good enter
tainment. and placing the affair on
the same high rank that previous
dances Of the "smoke eatersn have
set.
A large crowd which comfortably
filled Veterans Memorial hall, yet
provided plenty of space for dane
ing, enjoyed the firemen's hospital
ity and enjoyed themselves to the
utmost.
Due to unforeseen trouble, the
barbecued dinner promised by the
firemen had to be eliminated, a
fact which caused considerable en-
barraSSment to the hosts but none
at all to their guests. The chefs
found the meat was not sufficient
ly cooked in time to serve the
dancers and hurried raids on the
markets and groceries of the city
produced enough material to give
all plenty to eat and none seemed
to mind even If the favorite barbe-
cued meat was absent.
GA member of the firemen IS aux
iliary said today, "those fellows
won't be so smart next time and
will let the women give them

The motif of the patriotic Par
ade' was stressed during the eve
ming by brief ceremony when the
national colors, borne by Hubert
Dougherty and escorted by Chan
Livingston and Cornelius Reed, car
rying rifles, were advanced from the
rear of the hall and placed on the

ADULT FARMING GROUP AIDED BY
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION BUREAU

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Feb. 81.
fSpeciaD-In addition to helping
keep the farm boy on the farm
through training and establishment
in a permanent enterprise, the state
bureau Of agricultural education
claims u nave numerous other SER
vices to agriculture.
The high school agriculture de-
partment library of magazines and
bulletins is found frequently to serve
the adult farming group as well
as the younger generation. Because
of the location of the 132 agricul-
ture departments in most of the
important farming communities of
the state, many of them remote from
the county seat, the teacher becomes
the counseling agency for many of
the farming problems, their reports
show.
The recent national program of
farm credit agencies, and crop con-
troll measures, have increased the
service of the departments. it is de-
clared. The education of the rural
population in the details of the plan,
as well as the general economic
problem, is being encouraged by the
national agencies. Duties and re-
sponsibilities which did not exist six
months ago are now being outlined,
according to the latest releases.
The agriculture teacher is usual
ly a member of the local farm Or
ganization, such as the Farm Bu-
reau, the Grange or the Farmers
union. He frequently acts on local
committees. and with the daily con-
tact through his classes, is declared
to be very effective. In one district,
the agriculture classes surveyed the

NEW YORK, Feb. %. U,R-Frank
GregeS' sudden rise from rags to
riches ended in tragedy today.
He was taken to Bellevue hoSpl-
tai psychopathic ward in straight
Jacket, his twisted mind confirmed
in its belief that Frank Greges was
deity by startling and fatal dra-
ma.
In the bare lobby of BoWel'y
flop house he ranted and screamed
for the benefit of bleary eyed Bow
cry buns.
To Michael J. Geryswacs, 40, he
said:
II am God and I'm going to kill
you. ! can kill anyone who looks at
me-"
GerySwacs was amused. He step
ped from the crowd, faced GregeS,
looked him full in the face.
That very instant he fell dead.
The audience faded away. Men
screamed and sobbed. A half hour
later the combined strength of five
policemen was needed to put Greges
into straightjacket.
February 5, Greges, 81, was a
Bowery bum of the hopeless order.
He carried a sandwich sign through
the Wall Street district for 81 day,
which barely sufficed to keep him
alive. One day he picked up wal
let from the sidewalk that contained
s45,0O0 in negotiable bonds and
promptly turned it over to police.
From that moment every condi-
ton of life familiar to him from
childhood was reversed. Money
poured in. Reporters interviewed him
He was asked to talk for the sound
motion pictures and for the radio.
A prominent banker sent a limou-
sine to convey him to magnificent
office to receive $25 and praise for
his honesty. Other Wall Street men
took him to haberdashery and re-
placed his rags with princely
wardrobe-Silk underwear, 81 shirts,
c SIS hat, $40 shoes. And last of
all, Belden and company, owners of
the securities, gave him job as
messenger at $40 month.
Greges first reaction was giddy
happiness.
