The smouldering row over AAA
benefit payments burst into the
open today as the Senate met to
pass upon the vandenberg resolu-
ton calling for publication Of all
payments in excess Of $4,000.
While Republicans charged the
Administration used AAA pay.
ments to build up a huge political
organization, Democrats claimed
the program had been the saliva
ton of American agriculture.
They were willing to permit pub
LEGATION of all large AAA benefits,
but insisted upon giving Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace q chance
to defend his program.
Benefits Paid 100000
Wallace in an informal report
already has announced there were
100000 benefit payments under
all AAA contracts in the last three
years. This covered agreements to
slash production in sugar, cotton,
wheat, corn and hogs, tobacco and
rice.
There were payments in excess
of $4,000 in every one Of these
crop reduction programs, wallace
admitted. The highest payments
included $1,022,037 to a Hawaiian
sugar concern, 1851, 054 to q
Puerto Rican sugar concern, $780,
900 to a louisiana sugar COM
pany, IS cotton payments In ex.
cess of $4,000, eight hog con-
tracts in excess Of $4,000, IL more
hog contracts between $40, 900 and
$4,000, including one $157,00
payment to a California concern,
one cotton payment Of $4,000 to
an Arkansas concern and one to-
bacco payment Of $41,454 to a
Florida firm.
Campbell Payment PrObed
One of the highest wheat pay
mentS revealed was $22,32S to Pat
Campbell of Montana who leased
Indian lands on which he con-
tracted with the government mot
to grow wheat"
The Campbell episode may be-
come a major issue in the West
in the coming campaign. Re
publicanS charged he leased
Indian lands at a ridiculouSly low
figure and then was paid AAA
benefits far in excess Of his
rental.
Senator Vandenberg said:
'tMr. Campbell leased Indian
lands at q comparatively small
cost. I am told 1t was at .
rental Of so cents an acre. Then
he collected . very much higher
benefit payment per acre from
MIR. Wallace for mot growing
wheat on the lands. We arc
hoping to get all the facts about
this strange transaction"

SYNOPSIS

John Spencer and his cousin, Godfrey
Bohun, are vacationing in Austria.
Godfrey is a gifted portrait painter but
prefers to paint landscapes. While
istrolling in the forest John hears Eng
.lish voices, and decides to investigate
From cover he finds four men burying
a man in green livery who, evidently
had been murdered. Pharaoh Is the
leader of the gang; the others are
Dewdrop, Rush and Bugle. Unfortu-
.nately, John makes himself known to
the assassins by dropping letter with
his name and address. He tells Godfrey
and his chauffeur, Barley, of his adj
venture. Godfrey, realizing that Johns
life is in danger, declares he must van
iish. Spencer discovers that the livery
of the murdered man corresponds to
the livery of the servants of Yorick
castle, and tells Countess Helena. mis-
tress of the castle, what he had seen.
With Godfrey and Barley, John starts
for Annabel, a nearby village. They
encounter Pharaoh. In making their
getaway they exchange shots with the
gang, without serious result. They ar

estate, where Lady Helena had request

had converted his immense fortune into
gold and hidden 1t away in a secret
vault in the castle. Knowing that his
son, Valentine, Helena's brother, was
incapable of controlling the fortune, he
had revealed it to Helena alone just
before his death. In some manner the
news leaked out, and Pharaoh is after
the treasure. They planned that Geof-
frey and Barley would go to Salzburg
to watch for Pharaoh, while John was
to remain at Plumage. patrolling the
roads about Yorick from dusk to dawn
Several nights go by without important
incident. John visits Yorick castle and
finds that Helena's brother, Count Val
entine, is there and with him, on most
friendly terms, is Pharaoh, as Captain
flaming. Hearing that John is stopping
at Plumage, Pharaoh speaks to Dew
drop. John suspects a plot. AS dinner
is announced, Helena and John make
their escape pursued by Pharaoh's men,
encountering many difficulties during
the night. They run out of gas.

lay back on the turf. II don't want

of course. But If he was delayed or
