WALLACES ADOPTED SLOGAN
Secretary Steadfasty Refuses To Disclose Names OF
Those Drawing More Than $4,000 In Farm Bene-
fit Payments-What Is Wallace Hiding? Who Is
He Shielding?

Secretary Wallace persists IN bis
refusal to make public the names oI
those who have received benefit pay
ments from AAA in excess Of s10.-
900 in any one year. Each day OF re-
fusal intensilies the demands Of men
in Congress who want this informa-
tiOn, and are determined to get Il.
Little by little the facts are cOmins
out-not through official channels
they are leaking out.
Congress cannot understand Sec
retary Wallace's refusal to open
public records to public inspection.
What is the Secretary hiding? What
is he covering up? His excuses for
not making public the list OF big
beneficiaries are childish, mislead-
ing; they are false.
Nothing so whetted the congress-
iOnal appetite for facts as the diselO-
sure by Senator Vandenberg of Mich
igan that one farmer had been paid
$219,825 for not raising 1887 hogs
and that one cotton planter had re-
ceived $16S, 900 for not planting 1000
acres of cotton. The Michigan Sena-
tor now informs the Senate that one
New York bank, financially interest
ed in a Puerto Rican sugar proper
ty, had received an AAA benefit
check for $705.4SS, while another
Puerto Rican sugar company had
been paid 1851, ,O64 for restricting its
planting of sugaf-cane.

ELECTRIC RATE
Rates Drop While Service
Improves, According To
Recent Statistics.

| Electricity continues 20 follow the
trend started many years ago. with
rates dropping while service inn
proves, according to recent authors
tative statistics.
For the twelve months ending
January 81, the average price paid
for domestic electric service was
4.99 cents per kilOwatt-hour-the
first time the rate has ever averaged
under five cents.
The remarkable records that have
been made in reducing the cost Of
current can be best realized through
a comparison with past years. In
1893. when the industry was in its
infancy. the average price paid was
% cents per kiloWatt-hOur, and do
mestic power users were relatively
scarce. In 1918. It was 81 cents.
The fastest rate Of decline began In
1925. when household electric appli-
anees, notably the radio and refrig-
orator. first came into popular Use.
The result is that the home Of to-
day can use electricity for a dozen
labOr-saving, cOmfort-creating pur-
poses for less money than Unce
would have been paid for inadequate
lighting alone. And Il is a safe fore
cast that the home OF the future
will get still more for its electric
dollar. II the electric industry in the
United States Is permitted TO pro-
gress. develop and expand. The two
main causes Of rate reductions are
increased efficiency, made possible
by scientific Improvement in the
methods OF generating and distribut-
ing power. and increased use, of
power by the consuming public. We
are in the midst Of the electric age /
but we are still long way from
its apex. It is the private power in
dustry which has done and is doing
the most to bring TO the American
home more Of the blessings OF pow

DEL. PEACH CROP
ESCAPESDAMAGE
Confined from Fr,t Pagel

GeOrgia-There was considerable
damage due to cold weather in the
northern part Of the state, but It il
reported that sufficient number Of
buds survived to give a good crop.
The crop in middle Georgia is ex-
pected to be good.
Arkansas-Up. until April / there
was a prospect for the largest peach
! crop in ten years, but severe freezes
on April 2 and 3, which were gener-
al throughout the state. materially
reduced the prospect. Present esti-
mates indicate about One-fOurth Of
a crop for this State.
New York-There was apparently
no abnormal winter killing of buds
and freezes during late March and
early April probably caused little
damage.
New Jersey-TheTe has been some
slight damage to peaches. but it is
not expected to affect the prOduc-
tiOn to any great extent.
observation-disclosures Of a heavy
damage tO. peaches have been receiv-
ed from all parts of the state due to
the hard winter.
OhiO-Due to the severe winter
damage Il appears that peaches in
the important district in north-cen-
trail Ohio will be almost a failure,
but it is reported that in extreme
northern Ohio along Lake Erie
there may be fair crop.
1ndiana-Extreme low tempera-
lures of last winter killed most of
the. peach buds and caused some
damage to trees.
Illinois-Peaches in Illinois were
damaged considerably during the
winter and were also damaged by
the late freeze in March. At the pres
ent time the prospect is for about
one-fOurth Of a crop.
Michigan-SOme sections of the
state reported especially heavy dam
age due to the hard winter, but other
commercial producing sections eX-
pect a fair crop.
Maryland-Reports indicate heavy
damage to the peach crop in Wes-
tern Maryland, particularly in Wash
ington county. Peaches on the Eas-
tern Shore apparently came through
in good shape.
Virginia-Peach bloom was very
light in the Shenandoah Valley, but
east of the Blue Ridge the bloom
was generally very good. The Crozet
Section. which is the most impor-
tant peach producing area in Vir-
ginia, was not seriously affected and
at the present time a good crop is
expected.
West Virginia-April 1 indica-
tions were for a fair crop of peaches
in the Shenandoah Valley section Of
the eastern panhandle. but consid-
erable damage was indicated in
other sections. II is also reported 1
that there has been some additional |
damage due to the freeze early In !
April.

EDITOR Of Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.
My dear Sir:-Will you allow me
I space in your valuable paper for a
/ few words on a subject of vital i'm
pOrtance 70 the farmers-One that
may not be quite appreciated in
these busy days of rush and hustle
and hurry?
refer to the CCC Camps of our
State, but Of course most specifical-
ly to the camps of Sussex county as
tits these understand best. Yes,
It's these that have touched and ben
efiitted me so greatly that l want
the public to realize and appreciate
the value Of the camps.
Stagnant pools drained, eliminates
mosquitoes-the value of this alone
is so far reaching and beneficial to
the people that it has become the
primary reason for CCC Camps in
the general public's mind
But / want to add just a few
words telling Of the direct benefit
aside from this to the farmer.
Many farms have hitherto been
crossed and even intercrossed by
ugly. half-filled. filthy bitches Of no
earthly good for drainage; then bot
tom lands, soggy gullies and miry
acres have laid in waste year after
year.
The farmer has not had equip
ment and money to drain his fields,
and each spring as he started forth
for a years task of ploWing, plant-
ing and reaping, he had TO face the
discouraging fact that these infested
spots were growing larger. spread
ing their tentaeles into his tillable
fields, slowly but surely absorbing
his land-and he helpless to fight of
this monster.
Then came the CCC Camps with
boats, spades, youthful vigor and
TO cut through every inn
pediment, giving to the farmers. a
beautiful clean cut ditch, draining
his lands, turning his field into a
thing of beauty and profit, and put
ting announcement in the farmers
heart and money in his purse.
Let us, the citizens Of the State Of
Delaware, uphold the hands Of the
1CC lads as they labor diligently

TmE NEW DEAL -COYERs UPg

Has the distribution Of AAA bon
uses been of such a nature that the
country would be shocked II the de-
tails were known!
Congress did not earmark the ap-
preparations. The New Deal argu-
ment was that II the Executive De-
I partment should be allowed to use
its own discretion in allotments, the
money would be spent TO better ad-
+ vantage. A cooperating Congress
trusted the Judgment Of the White
House appOintees. When Republi-
cans asked for an accounting OF
stewardship. Secretary Wallace re-
fused IT,
Private records become public.
Public records remain the private.
property of the White House family.
The Administration hroadcasts data
which have a political appeal. Facts
and figures which reflect on the Ad-
ministration are suppressed.
AS Senator Vandenberg says. Mr..
Wallace has charge Of "the disburse-
ment Of the largest single sllm Of
money ever distributed by o non
elected officer OF Government, solely
upon his own discretion and with
out public report respecting its iden-
tilted destination. II is doubly
a matter Of public opinion and most
emphatically matter Of congress
sional concern when a billion dol
lars leaves the Treasury through
checks that are written by an exec
utive bureau answerable only to its
own discretion"
Secretary Wallace explained that
the furnishing Of the information
would involve too much clerical la
bor Senator Vandenberg proved
him incorrect. Tho explanation Is I
absurd. Secretary Wallace's state
ment that the benefciaries are en-
titled TO secrecy is too erotesque to 4
The natural conclusion is
that the Secretary fears that know
ledge Of the facts would be harmful /
to his agricultural program and to
the Administration.
When the President declared IN
1898 that he would be the first to ae-
mistakes in his trial-and-
error experiments. shrewd persons
did not take him az his word. But Il
vas hoped he would at least show
,andor IN his relations with the peo-
lle. that he would allow them to
know the facts cf record He and his
wo associates do not choose to do
% lust now. Thelf fury for inyeBti-
sation and reform subsidies when

WORK TO PREVENT
RABIES OUTBREAK
TCOnfiuMed from First Pagel

TCOnfiHHed from First Pagel
been bitten by, or in contact with
dogs found 10 have had rabies; in
cases OF patients unable to afford the
necessary treatments. the State
Board of Health furnishes that, too.
In setting the limits of the quar-
antine, which is imposed under the
legal jurisdiction of the State De-
partment Of Agriculture and en-
forced by the Game and Fish Conn
mission, the State Board of Health
coOperates with the other two de-
partments.
Early in January, Delaware dog
owners. and particularly those in the
northern sections of the state were
warned against allowing their ami
mails to come into contact with 9TH
ers from the sections of southeast
ern Pennsylvania. wherein a serious
outbreak of rabies was raging. They
were also warned against receiving
dogs from that area. II was stated
at that time that the transfer Of dis
ease from dog TO dog is easily pos
sible through bites or injuries, and
that the long period Of incubation
makes il possible for some months
to elapse before an area. once in
fected. may be considered out Of dan
ger.
At the time Of the original warn
ing. Delaware dog owners were ad-
vised to consult their local Yeter-
inaFians about the protective steps
to be taken. but not to gain over
confidence should this treatment be
used, and thereby expose the dog
needlessly.
A dog should not be killed il avoid
able. Immediately he shows the first
signs of supposed rabies. il was stat
ed. II possible. lock him in a Sc
cure place, from which he may not
escape and do harm. and give him
normal amounts of food and water;
not all dogs that an amateur dag
nOstician states have rabies are so
and the animal may recov- !
er. On the other hand, if he actual |
y has rabies. he will die within a |
few days. probably within seven, of /
paralysis.

WE DON'T WANT POLITICALLY
OWNED RAILROADS


In a recent address. Matthew S
Sloan. Chairman Of the Board and
President Of the Missouri-ISansas.
Texas lines, said: Government ow-
nership Cof railroads) II Il comes
win not be brought about because
the majority Of Americans want 1t,
II Il comes il will be because the
majority Of the American people
have remained Indifferent to the
seriousness of the transportation
problem, because they have had
hazy vague and incorrect notions
about the railroads. and because, in
cidentally, those who do favor gov
ernment ownership have capitalized
upon this indifference and apathy
and have pyramlded handicaps and
burdens upon the rail carriers with
the hope that finally they will be
brought to such stage OF financial
insolvency that Federal ownership
will be the only answer"
Few Of us realize how fine a Job
the railroads have done during the
last IS years, in the face OF great
difficulties. Service was never bet
ter. safer or faster than It Is today;
rates, in the light OF the general
price level, we're never lower. Yet
our railroad policy has made Il im-
possible for the lines to earn as
much as per cent return on their
vast investment in any year since
the war. This same policy has, d.
rectly and indirectly. favored rail-
road competitors which offer only a
limited service. and which could IN
no way supplant the railroads.
These competitors have paid rela-
lively little In taxes, have been
largely free from effective regula-
tion, and in some cases have been
actually subsidized by government
All the while, the railroads have
paid tremendous sums in taxes, and
have. been regulated in every phase
of operation. Passage Of the bill reg
trucks has improved this /
Hituation-Dut much remains 70 be
done along other lines
IN addition. the railroads have
been burdened with unnecessary
legislation adding greatly to their
cost OF operation. More OF this kind
Of bills. such as the full-crew and
traln-iimit laws, are proposed. and
have strong political backing.
Steps should be taken to free the
railroads from all reguiafiVe In
so that they may continue
10 give the best OF service, and to
improve It still more.
