day, Chairman Frank r. McNinch Of
the Federal Power Commission joined
Wendell L. Willkie, president Of the
Commonwealth and Southern Corp,
IN q statement, saying:
"It appeared from the discussion Of
experiences here and abroad that
there might be savings made in pool
ing of Transmission which would be
beneficial to the public and the in

Although McNinch said the White

Southeastern section Of the country,
President Roosevelt earlier had ex-
pressed hope that regional pooling Of
power might be worked out, too, in
the Bonneville Dam area on the Co.

NEW YORK, October / (N.A.N.A.).
Justice william r. Bleakley, Re-
publican nomiree for Governor OF
New. York, will Join his formidable
Democratic opponent, Gov. Herbert !,
Lehman, in hitching his bandwagon
to the presidential star and wage his
campaign on the national issues as
they AFFECT State interests, accord
ing to friends here. They add that he
expects to 20 on fighting al the way
up or down with Gov. Landon, Just
as Lehman has tied his campaign al
most inextricably with President
Roosevelt's. '-.
Lehman, drafted In an almost un-
precedented move ut the national con.
vention to carry the Roosevelt ban
ner through the crucial State Of
New York, already has made his
mark Is . vote-getter Of major pro-
portions.
Previous Fight.
Justice Bleakley, who will retire
from the Supreme bench to begin
his campaign with . speech in Port
Chester tomorrow night. has had only
one serious test in the huriy-burly Of
practical politics. This came In 1927,
when Bleakley opposed Humphrey J.
Lynch, a temporary appointee Of Gov.
Alfred z. Smith, for the Supreme
Court bench. Lynch had Franklin
D. Roosevelt as honorary chairman
Of his Campaign Committee and Leh-
man Is his treasurer. In addition,
Smith came down from Albany and
took the stump for him. But Bleak
ley, known as "the uncle Of West
chester County" came through with q
margin Of 10000 votes, the largest
majority judicial candidate had
ever received in the stanchly Repub-
lican district.
Bleakley Is . burly, ruddy, dimple-
checked man, q few weeks short OF 50,
his surprisingly youthful and jovial
face bubbling under q cap Of iron gray
hair, brushed straight back. He was
born in Westchester County, where his
ancestors before him had been born
all the way back to 1908. He inherited
his Republicanism. His grandfather
organized the Republican party in the
district and led 1t to its first victory.
Early Education.
He was born November II, 1884, at
tended Peekskill High School and Cor
nell University and began the practice
OF law with the Yonkers hrm of Bren-
nan g. Curran. Seven years later he was
admitted to q partnership. At the age
Of 20 he was appointed . member of
the Board Of Education in Yonkers,
and, in 1917, when he was 80, he was
elected city judge. Four years later,
Gov. Nathan Miller appointed him to
the county bench to fill an unexpired
term and Democrats joined Repub-
hcans in nominating him for . full
term. He has been . justice Of the
State Supreme Court since 1927.
Friends report that Bleakley's 8
steady upward rise In politics can be
traced to his enormous capacity for
work. He undertook all sorts of extra
curricular activities and, despite the
pressure Of his numerous tasks, man
aged to keep his hand in at golf,
hand ball, bowling, billiards and
quoits. managed to make himself .

Abnormal Fall rains and q delay
in killing frosts were credited by the
Weather Bureau today with having
compensated farmers somewhat for
this Summers drought damage.
Telegraphic crop summaries to the
bureau from all States showed recent
heavy rainfall had supplied the soil
with suficient moisture for present
needs in most areas that experienced
severe Summer drought"
Compared with an average year, the
bureau reported. frost is somewhat
later this season In most Central
Northern sections. AS q result, much
Of the corn which escaped drought
devastation was reported now largely
safe from frost damage"
The delay also aided pastures, late
forage crops and gardens in wide
sections.
Although frost and heavy snow
were recorded In some Northern and
Western areas the past week, the
bureau said no widespread, exten-
sive" crop damage had been reported
as o result.

JOHNSON ASSA|LS

Declares Charge Roosevelt
Broke Promise Is
Untrue.

PHILADELPHIA. October L.
Hugh s. johnson. former ". r. A.
chief, said last night every charge
Of Q broken promise" which George
N. Peek, former farm administrator,
laid at the door Of President Roose-
selt was untrue"
In q broadcast address, johnson
said Q speech by Peek last Monday
night was "the most unfair attack
that has yet been launched at the
President"
Recalling that he and Peek had
written a pamphlet in 1921 entitled
Equality for Agriculture" Johnson
said Peek fought for IL years "to
force the principles of the book into
the law of the land" before they were
accepted by President Roosevelt.
Approved of Program.
Now, he said, "Mr. Peek charges
MIR. Roosevelt with breaking promises
TO farmers. "'' I propose to prove
beyond peradventure that every
charge Of broken promise on which
Peek supports his desertion is un-
true"
johnson asserted the former agri.
cultural adjustment administrator
said the President had broken prom
1se by reducing agricultural tariffs,
Especially with Canada"
"Mr. Peek knew and approved Mr..
Roosevelt's tariff and feciprocal-trade
policy before it was announced in
1882" johnson said. He added the
Presidents promise was mot to lower
any tariff without getting lowered
tariff in return"
Does Not Like Trades.
"Mr. Peek was never an opponent
Of reciprocal tariff" johnson said.
ut was only that Mr.. Peek does not
like the particular trades that have
been made. Mr.. Peek and
Mr.. Landon just think they can trade
better than Mr.. Roosevelt. Maybe so.
But when Mr.. Peek goes
from his disagreement with the kind
Of trade to the length of saying that
Mr.. Roosevelt has violated a promise
TO farmers by making any txade at
I'll. he is misleading agriculture"
: johnson quoted Peek as saying
Roosevelt promised a benefit on
farm-export crops equivalent to the
tariff and, instead of doing so, paid
Farmers for not planting"
1.-THE implications Of this highly
equivocal statement are reputation
by Mr.. Peek Of every word he has
said since 1921" johnson said. He
said Peek's goal was to attain q
'farm-price parity" and that this
also was the goal Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
How was that to be done? BY all
the means that were written in A.
A. A. What happened to that
promise, which was the only promise
to be made by President Roosevelt?
Farm prices have increased from about
so per cent of parity to about SO per
cent of parity. The promise is full
