lighter moments. Recently one
uncovered this gem: In answer
to Question 10 on application for
helper shipfitter, 1 was falsely &C.
cused of pulling my shoes off in
the winter of 1918 and going to
sleep. Gentlemen, I do solemnly
swear it was a falsehood. The
commission must remember the
winter of 1918. Nobody would
take off his shoes and go to sleep
outof doors that winter" It was
suggested that the case be referred
to the Weather Bureau for de-
cision.

Observation-Disclosures Of
fetal denials actually are true
and. il one is TO judge by addi-
tional vehement proteStations
made in private by the men who
know, reports of a tiff" between
Vice President Garner and Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the White
House were grossly exaggerated.
That point is relatively unim-
portant, however, because there
really is a definite feud between
Garner and Roosevelt. Friends of
both will tell you that the vice
president is the strongest political
foe the President has in Washing
ton.
Garner, like many other vet
eran ID ocratic politicians
doesn't want Roosevelt's influence
TO oVershadoW the 1910 Demo-
cratic convention. He also is OBJ
posed to most labor legislation
and to large scale government
spending. Although he may not
row openly with F. d. r. at the
White House, his game, as a prac-
teal politician, calls for diminu-
tlon rather than enhancement of
the Presidents prestige.
The prospect of many new cot
ton mills in Texas hasn't made
the Wage-hour bill popular among
the Texans. Their state hasn't suf-
Tered badly from the depression,
so Texans in Congress aren't be-
labored by relief demands. This
has been more or less true all
along, since Texas has benefited
from farm payments and Jesse
Jones long ago poured plenty of
RFC funds into. his home state.
All of which has made it relatively
easy for Garner and his Texas
cronieS to attempt to hobble the
President.

post mortems on the disastrous
defeat OF the administrations re-
organization bill, have concluded
that even their victory in the
Senate on that issue was far from
Clean-cut.
They have what they think is
evidence of deal between Sena-
tor Jimmy Byrnes, who had
charge of the bill, and Finance
Committee Chairman Pat Harri-
son, who had charge of the tax
bill, whereby the reorganization
bill was allowed to slip through in
return for assurance that the tan
bill could be whirled through
without trouble.
ByrneS was anxious to maintain
prestige as Senate leader. He is
close to Vice President Garner and
supported Harrison for the ma
jority leadership last year against
Senator Barley, the administra-
ton candidate. So the deal, if any,
must have been easy to make.
House leaders found, when the
bill was beaten 204 to 1856, thai
they had miscounted their strength
"a significant comment on their
effectiveness. Jimmy Roosevelt
was supposed to do the heavy lob
bying from down town" and
failed where a more experienced
wire-puller might have succeeded.

House lobbyist on Capitol Hill UNI

TOBACCO, POTATO
BENEFITS BOOSTED

WASHINGTON, Apr. 20. (UP)
Benefit payments on tobacco and
potatoes and the national cotton
acreage goal were increased yes
terday by the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration.
The cotton acreage was lncreaS-
ed from 27,000,000 to $4,000, 900.
The rate of payment per pound on
flue-cured and dark air-cured to-
bacco was raised from l.5 to LIB
cents per pound and on Georgia
and Florida tobacco from l.5 to
l.8 cents per pound.
The moves were intended to
make the program conform to re-
cent amendments of the 1888 Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Act.
The national cotton acreage
goal has previously been between
25,000,000 and 27,000,000 acres.
The change to $4,000, 900 com
pares with an acreage of $4,000
600 planted last year.
