POSSIBLY MR.. WALLACE takes
credit for the present dollar bush
el corn. Mr. Wallace is a good claim
er Yet any farmer knows the AAA
is dead, and that the present sky
.rocketing prices for grain are due
to the Almighty and the drouth, not
to the New Deal. We congratulate
the farmer-if he's got any to sell.
Unfortunately the all-wise New
Deal agricultural administration has
fixed it so he hasn't. In June it
called in all sealed corn loans, de-
manding immediate payment and re-
fusing any extension of time. The
farmer had to sell, bringing the
price down as low as AZ cents in
some Iowa counties. This whim re-
suited in a direct loss to the farmer
producer. The dronth came along
and forced the price of corn as high
as $11O. The speculator, not the
farmer, got the benefit.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan
pried out information from reluc-
tant secretary of agriculture that.
out of the $1,171 ,O69, ,967 handed out,
more than 1000 benefciaries receiV-
ed over $4,000. Beginning at the
top of the list the Hawaiian Com
mercial Sugar Company drew ST.

THE EXPECTED HAPPENED al
Dover on Tuesday, and Delaware Re
publicans face the certainty of bit
ter fight at the polls in November.
The die has been cast and the time
for compromise has apparently
passed. There is little need to try
to minimize the seriousness of the
situation insofar as is may effect
the Republican party i'm November.
For months it has been known that
alarmingly large numbers of Sussex
County Republicans are dissatisfied
with the present management of
party affairs in Delaware. The ac-
tiOn of tE Short followers on Tues
day when they bolted the convention
il a capitalization of this feeling
That the boilers are serious in their
intent to defeat the nominees of the
Republican party as nominated is
self evident. Bitterness and per-
between the adherents of
both groups as shown on Tuesday
can mean only a fight to the finish
in November. The lines are drawn
and the battle will be without quar-
ter from now until November.

AMERICA USED to be the greatest

it is now bringing in what it used

items, 225.OOO pounds of canned

tion ace. A substantial part of the
food on the American table that used

IS DEMOCRATS
ASSURED IN
SENATE
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
NEW YORK, Nov. S d.N.SJ.
The greatest partisan majority in
the history Of the United States
Senate was given President Roose-
welt today to enact his New Deal
legislative program in the seventy
fifth Congress.
The new Senate will line up: IS
Democrats; II Republicans; 2
Farmer-Laborites; l Progressive; /
Independent.
Five Republicans survived the
tremendous Roosevelt landslide in
IS contests scattered through 80
States. OF these, three were re.
elected after having been friendly
on and off with the New Deal.
They are the veteran Senators
William E. Borah of Idaho,
Charles L. McNary of oregon and
Arthur Capper of Kansas.
Two G. 0. P. Victories
Two newcomers to overthrow
Democratic opponents were the
youthful Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.,
of Massachusetts,, and young Gov.
ernor Henry s. Bridges, of New
Hampshire. Young Lodge, a grand
son of the late Senator of the
same name, defeated Governor
James M. Curley due to a fac
tional row in Massachusetts.
In addition to his rs Demo-
cratic Senators, the President can
expect Staunch support from the
veteran inSurgent Senator George
w. Norris who was elected in
Nebraska as an Independent after
abandoning his Republican Party
label. He also will be supported
by the two Farmer-Laborites from
Minnesota and the Progressive
Senator Robert F. La Toilette Of
Wisconsin.
Five Critics Beaten
On the other hand, the Repub-
licanS lost five ardent critics of
the New Deal. They were Sen.
ators Daniel o. Hastings of Della
ware, L. J. Dickinson of Iowa, w.
Warren Barbour of New Jersey,
Jesse H. Metcalf of Rhode Island
and Robert D. Carey of Wyoming.
All fell in the Roosevelt landslide.
The Republicans lost another
seat in Michigan where the Demo-
crat, PrentiSs M. Brown, was
elected to the seat of the late Sen
ator James CouZenS.

through the back door.
When the door finally was
broken through. the flames inside
of the cabin were too hot to res
cue Ollie BoggS, 73, who had lived

Police say the fire is believed
to have started from a cigarette
in the hands of Ollie BoggS, jr..
who escaped the burning inferno
through the back door only after
his hands, face and hair had
been badly burned in an attempt
to rescue his father. Young
BoggS, when he could stand the
heat no longer. jumped over
