REPRISAL ON A. A. A.
SUITS is FORECAST
Head of Farm Federation Cites
Boycott Victory in
Wichita, Kans
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, August Edward A.
O'Neal, president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, today fore
cast retaliatory measures by farmers
against packers. millers and others
who have fled suits against the A. A. A.
seeking to invalidate processing taxes.
He referred to a reported boycott of
milling concern in Wichita, Kans.,
which he said resulted in the with
drawal of the suit recently, and to the
action of Alabama Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON in adopting resolutions calling
for constitutional amendment, II
necessary. to continue the A. A. A.,
the Bankhead cotton act and the
processing tax.
There are 900 packeds in the United
States. including many small but
reputable concerns. who have not
joined with the 800 larger corporations
in attacking the processing tax,
ONeal said.
ut seems only fair and ethical that

the business which farmers can give
them. Organized agriculture should
support its business allies and those
who cooperate with it. wherever it is
physically possible to do so.
1T might be an excellent thing for
farmers to inquire, before selling their
live stock, II the firms to whom they
expect to sell have instituted suits.
The same procedure can readily be
followed in selling grain and other
farm products.
by their actions these 300 packers,
and other large corporations buying
grain, milling -four, manufacturing
cotton, buying tobacco and processing
it, have clearly demonstrated their
opposition to the recovery program
for agriculture. and for the Nation
as whole" he said. There is no
longer any justification for agriculture
to place any further confidence or
trust in this group. From now on
its fight to the finish"

CRAMER DESIRES
TO Be FORGOTTEN
Whispering Campaign Au-
thor Loses Position With
Edison Co.
BY the Associated Press.

WEST ORANGE, N. j., August g.
EDWIN P Cramer, who suggested a
whispering" campaign against the
New Deal, has lost his Job and now
he wants TO be a forgotten man"
Cramer said he holds no Ill will
against the Thomas A. Edison Co.
which discharged him as editor Of a
house organ yesterday because of his
advocacy OF so reprehenslnle plan
as the covert attack on President
Roosevelt he suggested as a means CT
combating the utilities bill.
Il want to be forgotten" Cramer
said. I've been smeared all over the
front pages of the newspapers. !
want to drop out of sight"
He said he hoped to find a new job
with one of the advertising or pub
licity clients for whom he worked
before he joined the Edison company
two years ago. He added that he
had mo hard feelings"
Il don't blame the Edison company
for dismissing me-" he said. Il would
have done the same thing in Mr.
Edison's place"
Charles Edison, president of the
company and son of its founder. the
late inventor. issued statement ex-
planning Cramer's discharge.
"A careful investigation has de-
veloped the fact that Mr.. Cramer,
acting wholly on his own initiative
and on his responsibility as private
citizen, has written letters to certain
public utility interests recommending,
among other measures, a whispering
campaign against the President and
other national officials" the state
ment said.
Although we have obtained no evi-
dence that Mr.. Crafner actually en-
gagged in such a. campaign. We feel
his advocacy of so reprehensible a
plan is sufficient to warrant his re-
lease from this company. Thomas A.
Edison, Inc, Is not a public utility,
has no interest in the Wheeler Ray
burn bill and no interest in Mr.. Cra-
mer's political views"

Certain prominent persondges inter-
ested in inaugrrating coalition politi-
cal movement against President Roose-
velt are Supposed to have sounded out
Gen. johnson lately. They thought he
might be interested in leading it. He
declined His associates say his main
reason was that he Is a Democrat who
still cheers occasionally for F. D. R.,
although differing about many New
Deal policies. Also. he suspects the
move may prove to be impractical
politically.
Most Republicans here would like to
see an independent conservative Demo-
cratic ticket enter the field next year,
but not through the Republican Ma
tional Convention.
Convention Grapevine.
Gen. Farley's right-handers have
already passed out some private un-
official assurances that the Democra-
tic convention will be held next year
at Atlantic City. The main reason is
the seasore resort is raising some big
money to get it Also, the Democratic
bosses figure that they can afford to
disregard the usual geographical re-
quirements They expect to control
the convention completely, no matter
where it is held.
Republicans are talking about going
to San Francisco, but probably won't.
For one thing, 1t is too close to PaIo
Alto. For another, they need a Mid
west background.
An official report protesting against
the propaganda activities of the Third
International Congress at Moscow was
prepared inside the State Department
last week, but was not announced.
The reason it was suppressed was that
ranking official thought there was
considerable doubt whether the pro-
! test was justified.
American Communist speakers at
the congress talked about fomenting
a Pacific Coast dock strike Of ''un-
precedented scope" next Fall. The
question here was whether this was q
violation of Moscow's promise not to
indulge in domestic propaganda.

The stories that Mr.. Ickes has de-
cided to play ball with Democratic
Congressman and Postmaster General
Farley, is. however, half true At least
he is making an effort, for the first
time How great an effort is not yet
publicly known, but If you investigate
closely you will probably find that one
henchmen is now on the 1ckes pay
roll.
AS a result, you may expect Mr..
Ickes to get more credit publicly here
after for the work he has been doing.
Note-Honestly (say Mr.. Ickes'
friends) he never investigated Gen,
Farley in connection with those P.
w A. contracts, mentioned by Huey
Long.
Roosevelt Repulsed.
The Presidents close participation in
the drive to upset the House majority
against him on the utility bill was kept
under cover, but he advised and agreed
to each step of the way.
/ For instance, when the advertising
man Cramer testified about the health
whispering campaign. House Chairman
Rayburn leaped to the telephone and
called the White House. Immediately
! thereafter Mr.. Rayburn announced he
would seek another test on the issue
that day in the House.
The White House was surprised and
chagrined at the result. 1t found 81
per cent Of the House voting against
| the President. A month earlier the
teller vote showed SO per cent against
1t was far more of a personal repulse
than the public record indicates.
All the usual reasons are being
mentioned for the current obdurdcy
of the House. They range upward
from the lotD hints by lobby COM
nitteemen that House members
were bought.
An old-time lobbyist mot connected
with the utilities) has offered logical
reason. He won considerable money
betting l to that the House would
not change. His long experience in
handling State Legislatures proved to
him that legislators look on a changed
vote as a confession of error which
must be avoided at all costs. A wrong
stand is easier to defend politically
than a public admission Of mistake.
