Says:

Judging from all the various
comments on Governor LandOn'S
acceptance speech, it seems that
everybody and his brother must
have listened in. Yes, sir! Ever
since Thursday night the whole
nation has been in a typical
prairie state of mind.
LandOn contends that the best
alphabetical substitute for the

seem as though they've written
a pretty good platform. Now
all they need is Mr.. Farley to
provide them with a few more
good slogans.
While most people were sur
prised that ALI had such a
pleasant miCrOphOne voice, that
by itself won't be enough.
Even the best commercial an
nOuncers don't get much atten'

campaign speeches, I am con.
WINGED that the most promising

MILK PROTEST
GOES TO KING
THIS WEEK
Consumers Seek Hell p
OF Senator in Fighting
Price Increase

Washington Consumers Council
representatives will carry an ap-
peal for continued low-coSt milk
to Senator William King CD,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, some time this week.
Prime purpose of this move Is to
stop the proposed milk marketing
order scheduled to go before Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace for
his approval within the next two
weeks.
At a hearing on the order held
last week, consumers, independent
distributors, and producers pub
licly protested Federal milk con-
troll which would create a milk
GEAR" as administrator.
Ruling Delayed
Final ruling on the order can.
not be made for at least two weeks.
Opponents of the marketing agree
ment have until Tuesday, August
4 to file briefs with the dairy Sec
ton Of the Department of Agricul-
ture. Upon examination by dairy
section officials. the material will
be forwarded to Secretary for his
decision. If he approves the order,
a tentative marketing agreement
will be sent to all producers in the
Washington milkShed who have
permits to sell milk here.
After this procedure, a vote of
approval from two-thirds of the
producers is needed before enact
ment Of the order is possible.
Three in Feud
Three distinct interests squared
off at the hearing last week. The
Maryland-Virginia Milk Producers
Association. claiming 1881 men,
bers and SO per cent of the mar
ket, fought for the orders approval
on three grounds:
/. Producers prices will rise
from 261a cents a gallon to SOFA
cents. This is necessary because
of drought conditions and higher
costs of production. the asSocia-
ton officials claim.
2. It will level off the supply
of surplus milk now in overflow
quantities by the association.
3. 1t will force distributors Of
10,cent milk to pay higher prices
and to shoulder a share of the
burden now carried by the aSso-
citation,

CITY WATCHES
FOR AUGUST
RUN-0FF
Texan Long Has Held
Sway Over City
Interests

Washington today, residential
official and commercial, turned
all eyes on Texas. Not at the
centennial but at the perennial.
Tom Blanton faces a licking.
Last-minute reports from the
Seventeenth Congressional Dis.
trict indicate that Representative
Thomas Lindsay Blanton, Demo-
cratic watch dog of the Treasury
and the man who nearly thrust
this city into a high tax rate at
the last session of Congress, re-
ceived only 1902 votes in the
primary, to 23,864 cast for Judge
Clyde L. Garrett and 6,792 for
Fred c. Jaye. The climax in
this fight, which means as much
to the nations Capital as if the
voting was for its own represent.
alive if it had one, will come
August % when the run-off will
be held.
Under the laws of Texas, as in
many States, the victor in a
primary must accumulate a clear
majority of all the votes cast,
Judge Garrett fell short in the
final count, although he beat
Blanton by more than 1000 votes.
Blanton has been reelected from
his district every two years since
1918, except in one instance when
he ran for the Senate and was
defeated. He was returned to the
House at the next election, and
has stuck ever since.
Blanton has shown more in
terest in District Affairs than any
other member. His research work
and his aptitude for digging up de-
tails that other members pass
over with little interest put him
in a position to WELD more and
more power over the affairs Of
the city as the years passed. He
figured prominently in every crisis
faced by the District and reached
the height of his power at the last
session.
Due to a change in the setup Of
the powerful House Appropria-
tons Committee, the Texan was
given the Craftsmanship of the
subcommittee in charge of the
District budget.
Officials Grilled
Officials of the city were called
before the subcommittee and
given a thorough grilling. Appro-
priations were cut right and left
and the Budget Bureaus estimate
of $5,700,000 lump sum cortribu-
ton from the Federal Govern
ment was cut to $2,700,000.
The bill was rushed through
the House and sent to the Senate,
where friends of the city raised
the lump sum and restored many
items. Through stormy confer.
ences lasting several weeks, Rep
resentative Blanton remained ada
mant on his stand to cut down
the Federal contribution so that
the District would have to raise
it's taxes. At the last moment he
allowed the sum to be raised to
100000.
During the debates on this
question he indicated if he was
in Congress at the next session
he would see that the lump sum
was cut out entirely.

BY HELEN ESSAhI
They seem to be getting just a
little sensitive over at PWA. Re
marks from Republican critics
about funds not wisely used and
suggestions that there soon may
be no more funds for PWA to
spend must have made a slight
scar.
Anyway, when young engineer

ment agencies. Why, Mr.. Ickes
is called Honest Harold, and he

It was some time before the
bewildered engineer could get his
explanation across.

ton.
Now my smart friends in the
State Department say that unless
there is some violent upheaval-
some more than usually violent
upheaval, mean-M. de Labou-
laye will return to the United
States. This seems to me to be a
wise decision. M. de Laboulaye is
intelligent, tolerant. Makes friends
easily and has the look and man
ner of the traditional diplomat.
The appointment Of an Under
secretary of State to succeed
Mr.. William Phillips, newly made
American Ambassador to Rome. is
still delayed. The name Of R. Wal
ton Moore, Assistant Secretary of
State, has been added to the list
Of possibilities.
Assistant Secretary of State
Sumner Welles is being actively
considered for the post.
The mention of Mr.. Welles re-
minds me of a story about Oxon
Hill. his Maryland estate.
The gate at Oxon Hill was
brought from Charleston. But it
isn't the one Mrs. Welles liked
best and almost bought. Her
choice was for sale, she discovered.
She and the owner had agreed on
terms. She was thrilled and de-
lighted with her good fortune. All
details were settled except leaving
the shipping address. Mrs. Welles
named OXon Hill.
The owner explained:
"But that isn't il South Caro-
lina!"
"NO," Mr.. WelIes replied, cts
in Maryland"
"CharlestOn grillwOrk should
never be taken from the State.
1 couldn't possibly let you have
the gate"
And no amount of urging or
pleading could change the Charles
ton lady.

CUTS
FACE MANY
WORKERS
Ruling Hits Hundreds
Formerly Employed in
Emergency Groups

Salaries of hundreds of Govern
ment workers appointed 10 the
service during the past year by
the Civil Service Commission face
drastic Slashing under ruling re-
vealed today by Richard N. Elliott,
Acting Comptroller General.
The ruling, dated July Is and
directed to Secretary of War
George Dern, specifically states
that Government workers APP
pointed to the various departments
and agencies by the Civil Service
Commission from other units may
not receive pay raises if they are
paid from emergency money in
their new positions.
Such workers, the ruling re-
vealed, come under the provisions
of the executive order issued by
President Roosevelt on June IL,
1885, which prohibits employees
paid by emergency funds from
transferring from one department
to another without express per-
mission from the head of the de-
department they leave, which for
bids them switching positions at
higher pay, and which provides
that the President or the Budget
Bureau must approve all such
changes.
Took LOw-Pay Posts
It was revealed that the War
Department and many other Gov
eminent agencies have been
hiring workers formerly employed
in emergency agencies and on re-
lief projects who held civil service
status. Many such employees, it
was revealed, took low-pay relief
posts while awaiting their certifi-
cation at higher salaries by the
Civil Service Commission to other
departments.
Secretary Dern wrote the Acting
Comptroller General as follows:
"Many persons whose names
are on the registers of the Civil
Service Commission now hold
positions in the Government
service and probably in most
cases these persons are not in
formed as to the provisions of
the executive order. In many
cases they have accepted en-
plOyment in the Government
service in some lower grade than
that for which they have quail
fled in Civil Service examina-
ton, and some have been APP
pointed from relief rolls at Sc
curity wage rates.
"In all these cases the en-
pIOyment at the lower rate has
been accepted as temporary
expedient and these eligibles
no doubt believe that when
their names are reached on
the register their prObatiOnal
appointments to positions and
at salaries for which they are
QuaIlIlc0 Will ne pOSSlDlcs
MANY INVOLVED
"The department now has a
number of cases in which pro-
batiOnal appointments were ef-
fected to persons properly eli
gible under Civil Service rules
and who, it now appears, had
been holding positions at lower
rates elsewhere in the Govern.
ment service prior to their ap.
pOintment in the War Depart
ment."
Mr.. Elliott replied that "the
matters mentioned in your letter
might be considered as modifica.
tions of the executive order but
they ca nafford no proper basis
for reading into the existing order
an exception not provided"
