FEUD ENDS

Guilford, Conn, Oct. 8.-(UP>.- J. Henry Roraback, chairman of the republican state central committee, and Frank Healy, Windsor Locks, former state attorney-general to- day apparently had buried the hat chet, as least for the duration of the campaign. Healy delivered a Scathing indictment of the Roraback leadership of the party at the state convention a month ago in second- ing the nomination of Hugh M. Alcorn for governor.
 When Roraback called meeting of state leaders at his Guilford home, Healy was invited, however, and made speech at the gathering yesterday. He stressed the need for hard work among the g. o. p. if they hoped to carry the state next month.

Washington, Oct. 8-That more or less comic episode wherein Lan- don and Roosevelt scrambled tC get credit for original espousal o1 cr0p insurance has some previously undiSclosed background.
 You will recall that on Sunday Sept. 20, Roosevelt appointed a committee to study crop insurance The next day Landon hastened tc announce that he had decided, sev- eral days before, to favor crop in- surance, and, to prove it, gave out two paragraphs of the speech he was to make in Des Moine the following night.
 We'll, just to show you the way things go, Roosevelt some three weeks previously had decided to come out for crop insurance-or for study of it-in the 'fireside talk" he delivered the night of Sept. 6. He changed his mind.
 Nearly all the notable New Dealers, it seems, were in on the writing of that talk. Everybody had ideas. At least one final draft" was torn up and completely replaced.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-08
Pullitt Fights Down Plan

Among. the confereeS was Ann bLsSador Bill Bullitt-formerly to Russia, now to France. Bullitt talk ed crop insurance right out of the speech. He argued that it was just another half-baked idea that wouldn't work.
 Roosevelt dropped it. for while Why he picked 1t up again isn't certain.
 Republicans think the Demo- cratic espionage service, which seems to be at least as good as the g. 0. p.'s, reported that Lam don would endorse 1t in Des- MoineS. Or it may be that secre- taSy Wallace, who has been inter ested in crop insurance since 1922, finally talked the president into it.
 It's a fact, however, that various New Dealers-outside the Depart ment of Agriculture and AAA, where officials seem to be increas- ingly entranced by the proposal agree with Bullitt. And the idea of such @ wholesale federal ven- tilre into the insurance business seems equally wild-eyed to con- servative eastern interests which hope to influence government poll icy if Landon is elected.

Eastman Refuses Ship Job

Roosevelt appointed three men to the Maritime Authority, which will operate the new merchant marine act-but to serve only on tempor- Rry basis.
 His intention of naming a full five-man permanent commission was given up temporarily when Interstate Commerce Commission CT Joseph B. Eastman, former CO., ofdinator of transportation def initely refused to be chairman Of the authority.
 whether Eastman preferred to stay with the ICC because of 8 greater knowledge of the affec- tinn for railroads Is not known. Some of his friends feel he de- plOred Roosevelt's failure to in- sist that his term as co-0rdina- tor be extended, despite Opposi- ton of railroads and railroad lab- eF-which joined together in . spubIic- be damned" attitude.
 Roosevelt preferred not to an- tagunize railroad labor by fighting Tor Eastman to the bitted end.
 
 Fight Over Board Goes On
 The battle between shipping in- terests and liberals who want a commission representing the pub lie rather than the industry still goes on. Roosevelt passed up some important campaign contributions when he refused to accede to de- xaands Of the former.
 It will be interesting to see whether even Vincent Astor, the inultimillionaire who has shipping i1vestments and was formerly considered a close personal friend uf the president, will kick in" for the democratic war chest this year. 8hipowners, if they know about Eastman, presumably are pleased lo know of his refusal.

Fear Political Pressure

Since different wheat, corn, and cotton areas would pay differ ent premiums, it is argued that po- litical pressure for premium rate changes would become so great as to prevent operation on a purely acturial basis.
 This appears to present one of the most difficult problems, but government agricultural experts in both republican and democratic administrations have studied the proposal more than aynone else and seem to think they can avoid political complications.

RAILROAD DISPUTE IS
AIRED BEFORE BOARD
Nickel Plate Moves Are
Cause of Controversy.

Into the lap of the Board of Zon-
ing Appeals was dumped for solution
today a prosperity-fostered contro-
versy between the Nickel Plate Rail-
road and persons owning property
near its 35th-St and Sutherland-av
tracks.
Property owners charge that the
company has set up an old dining
car 100 feet north of the street in
tersection as temporary yard
office in violation of the zoning
ordinance.
They claim also that switching of
freight cars at the intersection has
increased from four hours a day to
20. These things contribute to de-
preciate value of nearby residential
property, they say.
Road officials told the board at
hearing yesterday that the tenn
porary yard office and the switching
are necessary because of 81 per
cent increase in business this year.
The board promised q decision
within one or two weeks.
