started forward.
Nurse de Kiriline spoke:

Some one protested:
But we only meant to take little

wind is blowing away from them.
Surely there can be no harm; and We
have come so far"
Don't come up those steps," said
Nurse de Kiriline.
And then. in the room where she

81 STATES VOTE
ON A.A.A. PAYMENT
Wheat Farmers Ballot.
Wallace Denies Inciting
March on D. c.

The A. A. A. wheat program re-
ceived a ballot box test in 81 States
today soon after Secretary Wallace
made a categorical denial that he spon-
sored in any way the recent farmers
march to Washington demanding A.
A. A. continuation.
In 1,763 counties, the men who sup
ply the grain for the Nation began at
am. to vote on the question:
Are you in favor of wheat-pro-
duction adjustment program to follow
the present one, which expires with
the 1885 crop year?"
Wallace's defense was contained in
a letter to Senator Hastings, Repub-
lican, of Delaware, who had demanded
ar investigation OF the farmers DEM
onstration to determine what. if any
part, the A. A. A. played in bringing
the 4,500 soil tillers here.
Neutral Warnings Cited.
The secretary transmitted to Hast
ings a sheaf of letters and kilograms
between the farmers and the A. A. A,
in many of which Chester Davis, ad-
justment administration head, admon-
lshed his field agents to remain
strictly neutral in the planning of the
march.
To the sixth of IT questions asked
of Wallace by Hastings, the Secre-
tary replied:
"All our information shows that
the farmers meeting in Washington
was sponsored and financed by the
farmers themselves and their neigh
bors.
IT do not regard it as the depart
ment's function to tell the farmers
whether they should or should not
visit the Capital.
For that reason. no census has
been made or will be made to de-
termine what or how many officials
in the Department of Agriculture
approved or disapprove Of what the
farmers did
Quizzed on Proper Course.
Hastings last question was:
DO you agree that 1t Is proper
course to pursue to encourage groups
of people interested in legislation to
Is considering legislation affecting
them and have them greeted by the
President of the United States?"
Wallace answered:
IF you refer to encouragement of
such groups by executive departments
of the Government, ! agree that 1t IS
not a proper course.
IF you refer to encouragement by
others, then I wish to point out that
for many years groups of various
kinds have been appearing in Wash
ington with a view to influencing leg
islation. Surely. the farmers have
that same right
"As for the propriety of the Presi-
dents greeting to the farmers, my
personal view is that I see no reason
why he should not receive a group
which had come to express its appre-
citation of his efforts to help them at

1t is no secret that Government
press agents try to control news. but
they are usually smart enough not to
get caught. The publicity department
of Mr. Hopkins F. E. R. A. was nabbed
the other day. red-faced and red
handed.
A newsman wandered into the Office
of a division head, seeking some sta
tistics about the great work the
Hopkins spending program is supposed
to do. While he was getting the in
formation. a telephone rang. The
voice at the other end of the wire
could be heard all over the room.
1t was the press agent. saying to the
division head, in effect: Il understand
you have newspaper man in your
room and you are giving him infor-
nation. You are not supposed to do
that. All information must come
through me"
Apparently the fault is not entirely
that of the publicity system. but of
some of the men in it who have come
to believe they are bottlers of infor-
nation instead Of purveyors Of it.

In conferences and addresses during short visit here Farley predicted democratic vic- tory in 1886 with President Roose- welt reelected. He denounced whispering campaigns which he said were instigated as an accom- paniment of general assaults on legislation the president has
 sought to promote in congress"
 "The word is being circulated that the president has broken down under the strain and that his decisions, instead of being the ripened judgment of a man stall wart in strength and mind, are the productions of a fretful in valid," Farley said in speech be- fore the democratic county com mittee. "The story, of course, is without vestage of foundation"
 He said Californians would be able to judge his physical state and the vitality of his mental pro- cesses" when the president visits California and the San Diego ex- position after adjournment of con- gress Farley discussed with local leaders possibilities of holding the democratic national convention in San Francisco next year.
