WALLACE FIGHTS
FOOD COST BLAME
Pleads With U. S. Not to
Attribute All High Prices
to A. A. A.
By the Associated Press.


Secretary Wallace pleaded with
consumers and farmers today not to
blame all high food prices on the crop
control program.
One a the most amazing things
about the public attitude toward the
farm program in general and the
processing taxes in particular" Wal
lace said in a radio address, 'is the
extent to which that attitude is net
based on facts. I mean simple facts,
not complex ones; facts which must
be admitted whether you favor, oppose,
or are indifferent to the program"
Wallace said complaints came from
city residents against the processing
tax on beef. but he pointed out that
there has never been processing tax
on beef Other complaints. he said
have been that A. A. A. caused high
prices for potatoes. veal, lamb and
chicken He pointed out that there
had never been a control program for
any of these foods and that the new
potato program was not yet in effect.
The complaint about the price of
potatoes is difficult to understand"
Wallace said With potato growers
getting around so cents a bushel, as
they have for two years now, the price
to the farmer is the lowest in many
years. Compare it, for instance, with
Sl31 a bushel in 1879 or Sl66 in
1925"

BY WILLIAM III. SHIPPEN, JR.,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Novem-
ber 5.-A jury OF men here last night
ignored the States plea for a man
slaughter verdict against Mrs. Dorothy
Dodd Smith, and found the attractive
young widow not guilty of numbering
her husband, Wade LIE Roy Smith,
26, a former Maryland State police
man.
The 24-year-old blond defendant
took the stand late yesterday to re-
late her version of the protracted
marital quarrel which preceded the
shooting on the morning of July %
In the Smiths bungalow at Laurel.
She said her husband threatened her
life
Mrs Smith wept for joy when the
Jury of solemn-faced farmers returned
at 9 O'Clock, after an hours delibera-
ton to announce they had absolved
the widow of blame.
Attorney Frank M. Hall assisted
States Attorney Alan Bowie with the
prosecution.
Tells OF MiStfeatment.
Mrs. Smith told the jury her hus-
band had thrown her about as she lay
in bed, Stormed at her like a mad
man, threatened her life and finally
thrust a pistol into her hands with
the suggestion that she shoot herself
She recalled that he advanced upon
her with clinched fists upraised and
staring eyes, crying, mo, you won't
shoot yourself. III do it my way but
could not remember having the gun
in her hand, raising or aiming the
weapon, or pulling the trigger.
Attorney Hall pointed out to the
Jury that the defense apparently based
its case both on self-defense and the
theory OF accident, a contention ne
described as impossible.
Beyond the defendants story, the
only testimony as to what happened
in the Smith bungalow prior to the
shooting was given by neighbor,
Raymond McKitrick, who said he was
awakened by sounds Of the quarrel.
Has 4-Year-Old Son.
Mrs. Smith, who married the former
State policeman in March of 1884
shortly after she divorced her first
husband, Nuncy Greco. an Italian
barber. is the mother OF 4-year- -old
son. Vincent Greco, by her first
husband.
The widow said the fatal quarrel
was the outgrowth Of Smiths jealousy
and quick temper.
She told OF going to firemen's
carnival on the night prior to the
shooting. where she and Smith played
games with several companions, danced
and had a tintype photograph taken.
This tintype showed the Smiths
seated on a barrel over the caption,
Barrels Of Love"
Mrs. Smith later showed the photo
graph to an Italian employe. of her
former husband, who laughed. Her

husband, the widow said, resented
this bitterly, and took her to task
for showing his picture to 'Wop''
when they returned home
Don't say 'Wop.'" Mrs. Smith
said she replied, for my son is half
Italian" Whereupon Smith, &C
cording to the widow, became abu-
sive and left the room. He returned
moment later, the witness said,
and found her kneeling beside her
bed, saying prayer for her son.
Then Got Out Gun.
1t was then, Mrs Smith said, that
her husband got out the gun and
made the suicide suggestion.
day, Attorney Hall said the State
was not seeking either first or second
degree murder verdicts, since the evil
dence had shown no malice or pre-
meditation He said, however, that
the facts in the case fully warranted
manslaughter verdict.
Testimony OF Smiths Ill temper
was given by his fathcr-in-law who
said Smith had slapped Mrs. Smith
to the floor during a quarrel over a
drink of water about a year ago.
How the Smiths had been a loving
couple, gay and light-hearted, on the
night preceding the tragedy was re-
lated to the jury by their three COM
napiopc at tho carnival Mr. and
Mrs. Verdon D. HENDERSON OF Balti-
more, and Herberson's mother, Mrs.
Ella HENDERSON Of Laurel.
DR.. M. D. Stuart of Laurel testi-
fed he examined Mrs Smith after
the shooting and found heavy bruises
on her arm and another bruise on an
ankle.

Off to the
Woods to Fish

The Emil Hurjas, who left
late yesterday afternoon for
a two weeks vacation in the
wilds of Northern Minnesota
on the Canadian border near
Lake Of the Woods" have
chosen, to my mind, one of
the most interesting and de-
lightful trips imaginable. No
fuss, no feathers, just rough
ing it with plenty of fishing
and long evenings before an
open fire reminiscing on the
days catch.
MuskelIunge a b ound in
that region and catching one
of them is no end of sport,
taking time, patience and a
lot of muscle.
When I talked to Mrs.
Hurja the other day she said
she had been rummaging in
trunks not opened in 10
years for clothes suitable to
wear on the trip and at the
moment had a golf shoe Of
that vintage on one foot and
a tennis sneaker on the
other. Sweaters, leather jack
cts and the like were what
she most needed and the
thought of being able to
wear one so soon rewarded
her for the ordeal of tackling
such a job with the tempera-
ture dangerously near 100.
