Wallace
Blocks Changes In
1889 Farm Program

Washington, May 22-(AP)-Con-
Pressional sources credited Secretary
Wallace today with a clearcut vic
tory in his attempt to block major
changes in the farm program this
year
Senator Lucas, Democrat, Illinois,
leader of newly formed farm bloc
in the Senate, said, 'There is not a
chance for any revision of the farm
plan in this session"
Even critics of the present pro-
gram conceded that it probably
would carry through next year.
Lucas, leader in the drive to in
crease farm benefit funds, said in
creases voted by the Senate would
bring additional support for the
present program.
He estimated that the present farm
program provides direct benefit for
about 100000 of the 100000 farm
families, and indirect aids for the
others.

Secret Part
Of New Pact
Is Withheld
Germany and Italy
Not Revealing All of
Accord Signed for
Mutual Assistance In
War, Gayda Article
Asserts

Rome, May Virginia
Gayda, authoritative fascist writer,
reported today the existence of secret
clauses in the German-Italian mill
tary pact 9igned in Berlin.
(By these clauses, Gayda may have
meant conventions to be drafted by
standing commissions to be set UP
under the pact and which may never
be made public)
Writing from Berlin, Gayda de-
clared:
''The public document signed, to
which are added other conventions,
naturally reserved, which will be fl
nally drafted by specific commits
sions, is composed of two parts.
He did not disclose the nature of
the reserved conventions.
At the same time, it was learned
that Italy has accompanied the sign
ing of the pact by a reduction of the
number of men she has under arms.
The size of the reduction was not
known Immediately.
Many of those relieved from duty
were from rural areas and the action
was presumed generally to have
been taken mainly to supply needed
labor for the coming grain threshing
season.
Italians also regarded the diminu-
ton of the great armed force mus
tered gradually during February,
March and April as an indication Of
reduced European tension.
