TUGWELL TOSTAY
IN SPITE OF FEUD
Carries Woes to Roosevelt.
May Be Waiting for
New Post.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Rexford Guy Tugwell let it be
known today that he will continue as
Undersecretary of Agriculture despite
the hard, hard knocks his school of
thought has encountered in the A. A.
A. recently.
Weary Of diSagreements with more
conservative officials in A. A. A, Tug
well visited the White House late yes
terday. Earlier he had been thinking
of quitting his present post to re-
turn to a professorship at Columbia
University or to enter the relief and
social security branches of the Gov
ernment. But after talking with the
President he told newsmen he would
stay where he was.
Speculation Immediately arose as
to whether Tugwell might be merely
poStponing his departure from Agri-
culture until another post is ready.
Relief and social security legislation,
which might provide a new assign
ment for him, is taking a slow course
through Congress.
Davis May Go First.
The possibility was suggested In
some quarters also that Chester c.
Davis, the farm administrator, who
favors more concessions to professors
and distributors of foods than Tug
well, eventually might be the one
to 60.
However. Secretary Wallace, who
likes Tugwell, recently upheld Davis
In a shake-up which swept several OF
the liberal leaders foremost followers
out of the A. A. A.
This shake-up began while Tugwell
was in Florida few weeks ago. Its
repercussions continued yesterday even
as he conferred with the President.
Davis appointed DR.. A. G. Black, for
merly chief of the corn-hog section
of the Agriculture Administration, to
head the Division of Live Stock and
Feed Grains. The latter division had
been under Victor A. Christgau, a
member of the liberal group, who re-
signed Wednesday. Christgau's quit
ting was attributed to sharp differ
ences with Davis over milk and other
policies.
Frank Takes r. F. C. Post.
Jerome Frank, A. A. A. counsel, who
was asked to go at the outset of the
reorganization, yesterday accepted ap-
pointment as assistant railroad coun-
sci for the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. It was recalled that Tugwell
flew back to Washington from Florida
and talked with Mr.. Roosevelt i'm
mediately after Franks resignation
was made public.
Tugwell has been telling his sd-
vanced economic and social ideas to
Mr.. Roosevelt for a number of years,
having given him advice when he
was Governor of New York. Even
since. his seeming loss of ground In
the A. A. A. few weeks have passed
when he was not in conference with
the President. He attends White
House discussions on q wide range
of subjects.

Rather openly, the arranged to send
the investigation to the Finance
Committee. A stretch of the imag-
ination was needed to believe that
the N. r. A. had anything to do with
finance. The stretch was accom-
plished by the bright idea that down
deep in N. r. A. somewhere there Is
something about tariffs, and, Of
course, the Finance Committee han
dies all tariff legislation.
But if the investigation finally goes
there, it will be reasonably safe and
constructive. 1t will most assuredly
be handled with sympathy. {.
An added complication made the
greasing of the N. r. A. inuesti-
eating skids euen more difficult.
1t 1Das offered by Senator Bordh,
Uho has been the NetD DeaPs
seDereSt N. r. A. critic. Bordh
stimulated q desire 1Dithin the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee to haze
the Investigation conducted by that
body OF 1Dhich he is member.
He is as bad as Nye, from an
N. r. A. standpoint, and, OF course,
much 1DorSe than Copeland or
McCdrron.
OF course. these personal difficulties
were mentioned only in innermost
senatorial circles. The New Dealers
managed to put up a good front for
the Finance Committee by basing
their fight on the fact that the orig
inal N. r. A. legislation was sent
there, which Is true.
A New York public utility boss
came down here for the opening of
the holding company hearings and
ran into Ben Cohen, the New Deal
author of the bill. whom he knew.
Cohen inquired politely about his
health. The utility man said he had
not been feeling well, that he got
up out of bed to come here, and felt,
when he passed the White House, as
If he were going to meet his maker.
g Whereupon Cohen Slyly suggested:
"You mean your remaker, don't
you?"
They agreed on that.

CAPITAL TO ROCK,'
HUEY YL0NG WARNS
Farley Called "Crook" as
louiSianan Forecasts
Disclosures.
BY the Associated Press.


Huey Long, warming up for a new
onslaught on Postmaster General
Farley, has warned the Capital it is
going to be rocked"
A common, ordinary, unscrupulous
crook with no defense whatever to
be made for him" was the description
Senator Long applied to Farley on the
Senate floor yesterday as he continued
his efforts to obtain an investigation
of Farley's administration.
What ! have to show in the next
few days will rock this Capital" he
said, adding that the Postmaster Gen.
eral Is ION the way out"
Long said his charges would involve
bank law violations in Tennessee in
which he contended Farley had inter-
fered Senator Mcclellan, Democrat,
of Tennessee, interrupted to say he
believed he knew what the LouiSianan
had in mind, but that he was wholly
misinformed."
Cement Deals Aired.
As Long spoke, Harry L. Hopkins,
Federal relief administrator told news
men the F. E. r. A. had Cancelled
contract with a New York company
for $4,000 sacks of cement and given
10000 sacks of the order to the Gen.
eral Builders Supply Co., of which,
Long says, Farley formerly was presi-
dent.
Hopkins said the original contract
with the City Builders Co., calling for
SAT $50, had to be Cancelled because
N. r. A. certified the company was
not complying with its code. He said
that the price finally paid five COM
panies for the cement was $52,864.
Senator Robinson Of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, challenged Longs
reading Of speech he said Farley
planned to deliver tonight. Robinson
declared it was unfair to obtain copy
Of speech given out to the press in
advance and that "a question of fair
dealing" was involved.
Challenges Use OF Money.
Replying that the speech had been
Improperly printed" by Farley
through the Democratic National
Committee, Long said he had been a
contributor to the party, and the
Postmaster General, therefore, was
proposing ito use my money to an
swer me-" Reading from the speech,
he said Farley contended attacks on
| him really were attacks on President
Roosevelt
Laughter in the gallery greeted
Longs assertion that he sleeps with
his right ear to the pillow because it
is a little bad, but keeps his left
ear up in the air" so he can hear
what is going on.
Senator Norris Of Nebraska, who
wanted to smoke and hear Long at
the same time, solved the problem by
propping the cloak room door open
and putting away just outside. Smok-
ing in the Senate chamber isn't per-
mitted
Meanwhile, the Senate awaited re-
ceipt Of data promised by Secretary
Ickes N response to its request for any
information he had regarding Farley.
Ickes has denied conducting any in
vestigation of the Postmaster General.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, February o.
The mystery of the coral-gall crab
exceeds the mystery Of the vanished
Empress of the old convict Isle of
Charles
So say the Smithsonian Institu-
ton scientists, back today after two
and a half months in the seas Of
romance, mystery and adventure, the
Western equatorial Pacific.
The Empress is gone. The strange
woman. who for two years ruled the
Galapagos Garden of Eden, attired
in pink silk panties, the scientists
said, probably perished last March
with her companion, Robert Philipson,
at the hands Of an outraged castaway
companion, Alfred Rudolph Lorenz,
who later died of thirst on a lonely
waterless rock a hundred miles away.
Think Grave in Cave.
This Baroness Eloise Bonsquet de
Wagner, the scientists believe, is to-
day inferred in one of the lonely vir-
tually inaccessible caves Of Charles
Island.
But the greater mystery is the
coral-gall crab. This is a tiny crusta-
cean, about a quarter of an inch
long. 1t is an irritating little animal.
1t irritates the coral to which it
clings to such an extent that the coral
secretes a growth which eventually
surrounds and imprisons the crab,
and so it perishes.

That is what Congress thinks.
Gleetul legislators are actually

There is no need for any such

chairman, made to the President in
1884 upon executive order.
Price Fixing Hit.
The board advised changes in the

SAN FRANCISCO. February %
R.-The plunge of the dirigible

board of inquiry to defect in design.
The defect was described in the

sufficiently secured against lateral

fix no responsibility for the disaster
which cost the lives of two men.
At the same time, Comdr. Catch

be converted into profit in the nature
of experience should the Navy build
another airship.
Secretary Swanson Of the Navy re-

In about three weeks, you probably
will seen Chairman Pat Harrison Of
the Senate Finance Committee shake
from his sleeve the draft Of an ad-
ministration N. r. A. bill. It may
not be called that, but that it will be-
There are several reasons why it
was inadvisable for Mr.. Roosevelt to
offer a bill now.
Senators Too Excited.
Presidential strategists agree it
would be foolish because of the in
ternal situation in the Senate, for
one thing. Senators are all excited.
clamoring for an investigation of this
or that phase of N. r. A. They
would surely tear any administration
proposal to shredS in a moment.
After the administration gets
through presenting all its facts to the
Senate investigators, the internal sit
uation may clear. The New Dealers
may know exactly how far they may
safely go; at least, they can expect
to have better chance And all
the time the Senators will be think
ing they have written the legislation
themselves.
So the underlying fact seems to
be that all Mr.. Roosevelt really did
in his N. r. A. message ,Dds to de-
Uelop nep Udy to make Con-
greSS take bad medicine, without
knotcing it. The strategy seems to
represent q studied Udridtion rather
than an actual change in the White
House method OF handling Con-
gress. For Which, all may be
grateful.
If you think this plan Is slightly
too smart to be true, consider what
has already been done in the matter
of the Senate investigation of the
N. r. A. No more delicate inside job
was ever attempted than the one by
which the New Dealers are trying to
keep the investigation out Of un-
sympathetic hands.
Not New Dealers.
The inquiry was demanded by Nye
and McCarron. They could hardly
be called New Deal leaders. They
wanted the investigation conducted
by the Commerce Committee. In
charge of that committee is Senator
Copeland. whom the White House
also has failed to enumerate among
its leaders.
Word was spread among the New
Deal faithful that they could not
afford to let the N. r. A. investiga-
ton fall into any such hands. The
administration already had made one
mistake like that when it let Nye
conduct the munitions investigation
The first thing it knew Nye was in
vestigating all the Democrats in a
most unsympathetic way.
