GILLETTE WIN

G.N.SO Secretary of Agricul-

unsuccessfully solicited for an in
dorsement Of Otha D. Wearin 10
the Iowa Democratic senatorial
primary, today telegraphed con-
gratulations to Senator Guy Gil
lette, who defeated Wearin for the
nomination.
Wallace's telegram said:
II congratulate you on your
victory. I hope all Democrats
and all Republicans who favor
the Presidents policies will now
devote their earnest efforts to-
ward rejecting you. For Iowa
to send Lester Dickinson back
to Washington would be a
calamity so far as all legisla-
ton for agriculture and all
other progressive measures are
concerned, and would misrepre-
sent the sentiment Of Iowa
people.
You may count on me for
whole-hearted support"

who voted for most important
New Deal measures other than
the court bill, opponents in the

ROW Up

A fight over the Navy Depart
ment's erstwhile objection to a
municipal airport at Camp
Springs, Md, featured a session
of the House Rules Committee to-
day.
Proponents of the bill to es-
tabliSh an airport at Camp
Springs, which is 912 miles from
the District, appeared before the
committee in an attempt to obtain
a rule for right-of-way of the legis-
lation on the House floor.
Following the session, Repre-
sentative John J. O'Connor CD
OF New York, committee chair
man, announced the committee
would act on the rules either
Thursday or Friday.
The battle over the Navy Depart
ment's objection to the airport,
made since the beginning of last
year and only recently withdrawn,
was caused by Representative
Howard w. Smith CD of Vir-
ginia, Rules Committee member
and author of a bill to establish
the airport at Gravelly Point on
the Potomac.
Representative Smith cited testi-
mony of the Navy Department
that the Navy 100000 radio
receiving station at Cheltenham,
Md, would be wiped out" Now
the Navy Department has with
drawn objections, and since the
Administration is prepared to
grant $4,000 to the department
for the removal of it's station.
Smith questioned whether it might
not be assumed the department
was directed" to act in this Way.

A long forward step toward
Government guarantee of parity
prices may be taken by House &C
ceptance of a Senate amendment
to the spend-and-lend bill appro
priating $212,000,000 for added
subsidies to farmers.
II am hopeful that Congress
in the next session will provide
proper financing of the farm
program through levying addi-
tional taxes" said Speaker
Bankhead.
DRIVE PLANNED
A drive will be made for the i'm.
position of processing taxes, which
were levied under the old AAA,
said Representative Ford CD OF
Mississippi.
Under the new farm law enacted
by Congress this session, parity
payments to farmers who cooper.
ate in the crop reduction program
were provided whenever Congress
made funds available.
In appropriating $4,000, 900,
the Senate provided for payment
OF 10 cents bushel on wheat,
cents a bushel on corn and 2 cents
a pound on cotton. This would be
in addition to soil conservation
payments amounting to $500, 000,-
900.
The parity price, which varies
will give the farmer the same buy.
ing power he had between 1903
and 1914.
Even with the appropriation of
1912, 000, 900, congressional experts
said, parity cannot be reached this
year. Parity is approximately $1.16
a busnel for wheat, "a cents for
corn and Is cents pound for
cotton.
SEEK INCREASE
Farmers, it is estimated, may
receive a total of 80 cents a bushel
this year from the sale price of
the soil conservation pay
ment and the parity subsidy car.
rled in the relief-recovery bill.
Many Of us are seeking an in
crease in the $212,00O,O 900 fund
so parity prices can be assured
farmers this year." said Ford.
While a tax bill cannot be en-
acted this session, we hope to in
duce Congress to levy processing
taxes next winter"
Annual appropriations of $75O,.
100000 to $1,5O0,0 100000 under
conditions of the last few years
would be necessary to assure farm
ers minimum parity prices, some
members said.
MOVE BLOCKED
Representative Hope (R). of
Kansas, declared the Administra-
ton blocked enactment of process
ing taxes in the present session.
When processing taxes were
proposed, the Democratic Lead
er of the Senate was the chief
opponent" he said. IF the
Administration wanted process

program, it could have had

The Senate-House conference

WIDOW TO GET
PENSION WHICH
LED TO SUICIDE.
Victim Waited in Vain
For g Months

The United States Compensa'
ton Commission awaited an ap,
plication for a pension by the
widow Of John Fyfe today, with
early approval probable.
Fyfe, who was badly Scalded at
the Capitol last September and
who waited in vain for the COM
mission to approve his claim for
heavy medical expenses, COM
mitted suicide last week.
S61.25 PER MONTH
William McCauley, secretary,
said the commission probably
would act favorably on Mrs. Fyfe's
application, if and when it is
filed. Under the law she will be
eligible to a maximum of $61.25
per month.
Fyfe, formerly a machinist in
the central power plant at the
Capitol, died June l, after having
slashed the veins in his wrists.
The next day came notice by
mail that the compensation COM
mission had approved the claim
for which he had waited nearly
nine months in vain.
McCauley said the Board had
met some difficulty obtaining affi-
davits from Capitol foreman corro-
borating Fyfe's statement that he
was injured while on duty.
DENIES PROOF SUPPLIED
cat no time" he said, was
the commission supplied with
proof that Mr.. Fyfe was Scald-
ed at the Capitol"
David A. Lynn, Capitol archi-
tect, was asked for particulars No
vember 5, McCauley said, but no
reply was received until February
10. On May II, investigators rec
commended that the claim be dis
allowed, but the Commission,
May Is, decided to give him the
benefit of the doubt" and ordered
that he be paid $116.66.
But the letter telling of the
Commissions action came too

VICTORY EXPECTED


The outcome in Iowa was dis,
tinctly heartening to a number of
Democratic Senators who are com,
ing up for denomination and whose
records are Vulnerable" when
measured by the New Deal yard,
stick.
There is Senator Clark in Mis-,
souri,, Senator George in Georgia,
Senator McCarran in Nevada,
Senator Tydings in Maryland, and
Senator Van Mugs in Indiana. All
save Clark already have formid-
able New Deal opposition, inspired
by the insiders Of the New Deal
who have made loyalty in the
Supreme Court fight the meaSur-
ing rod of Administration support.
Gillette's victory over Wearin
was not unexpected in Washing
ton, although the size of it was
rather a surprise in some quarters.
Wearin, only 35, came to Con-
gress in the year of the original
Roosevelt landslide, in 1882. Gill
lette came in on the same wave.
Both their records on strictly
New Deal legislation were some
what Spotty. Both voted against
the NRA, the AAA and the Bank
head cotton control act. However,
Gillette was one of the first Demo
cratic Senators to announce his
opposition to the Supreme Court
enlargement plan, and therein
Wearin saw his opportunity.
The WPA vote in Iowa appar-
emily had little effect, notwith-
standing Hopkins endorsement of
the youthful Wearin. Anti-NeW
Deal Democrats who are up for re-
election have been "gravely de-
ploring" what they described as
the attempted RECOMMENDATION of
the relief vote, through Hopkins
endorsement. Senator Burton K.
Wheeler of Montana, made a
number of speeches in the Senate

interference in the Iowa primary,
and of playing politics with hui

they pleased yesterday.
