BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

Mrs. Henry F. Grady, wife Of
the vice chairman Of the Tariff
Commission, who is vice chairman
of the National Democratic Com
mittee and national Democratic
committeewoman for California in
her own right, is feminine para
dox such as only the blend OF
colorful, widely differing American
backgrounds could produce.
In evening dress, wearing one Of
her Grandmother del Valle's high
combs and carrying a lace shawl
that once belonged to her, she looks
like a Spanish sonora transported
from another era. But there the
likeness ceases, for her mind is an
up-to-the-minute one that clicks as
fast as the shutter of movie CAM
era In clearly focusing and reg
istering her viewpoint about to-
days issues, social and political.
The descendant on her fathers
line Of Peregrin White, the CO.
lonial infant who made history for
himself by coming into the world
on the Mayflower's voyage to Amer
lea, Mrs. Grady was born on the
great Camulos Rancho, which ex-
tended for 60 miles from Santa Bar
bara to Los Angeles, and was joint
ly owned by Mrs. Grady and other
members Of her family until three
years ago.
Scene Of Ramona"
One Of the first of the early
Spanish land grants in California,
it was often piously referred to by
Mrs. Gradys grandmother, Ysabel,
as THE Land Of God," and the
Y brand upon the thousands Of
cattle that once grazed upon its
broad acreage was famous through
out all the Western country. The
scene Of Helen Hunt Jackson's
epochal story. Ramona" is laid
there. Her father was the Don
Felipe Of the book and her mother
Sonora Josepha. An ancient serv-
ing woman who is still living and
pensioned by Mrs Grady's family
at the age Of los was also the pro-
totype for the Marguerite Of this
moving narrative.

Sharecroppers Seek
Permanent Solution
OF Eviction Tangle
Tenant Farmers Union
Officials Here for Aid
To 400 Missouriuns

Seeking some solution of the pres
ent plight and future problems OF
the l,4O0-odd sharecroppers evicted
from their homes in Southeast
Missouri January 10, two officials OF
the Southern Tenant Farmers
Union were in Washington yester-
day in search of additional Govern
ment help for their members.
The union representatives, H. l..
Mitchell of Memphis, Tenn, secre-
tary, and o. H. Whitfield, colored,
of New Madrid. Mo, vice president,
conferred with local c. I. O. officials
and several Government agencies
regarding plans for immediate aid
for the homeless group. The Farm
ers' Union is an affiliate of the C.
I. O., a division of the Cannery and
Agriculture Workers Union.
Whitfield, leader of the sharecrop-
pers protest against mass evictions
at Sikeston, Mo, described to news
papermen and Government officials
first-hand observations along the
15O-mile front established by the
homeless families on United States
highway 81 after receiving eviction
notices. He outlined the sharecrop-
pers' problems, saying that condi-
tions had been getting worse for
five years and that the problem was
not limited to his section, but was
general throughout the South.
Permanent Program Sought.
He said that the trip to Washing
ton was made in the hope OF getting
a start on a permanent program
that would solve the sharecroppers'
problem. I'VE don't know if we can
get any results now, but we want to
show the public what we are up
against" he declared.
Eviction orders are served an
nually, Whitfield said, to a certain
group Of sharecroppers shortly after
January l, termination date of "un-
written" contracts with landowners.
He declared that the recent evictlons
came because of the landowners de-
sire to switch from tenants to day
labor to eliminate the necessity OF
sharing Government crop reduction
payments with renters.
Day labor rates, he pointed out,
were IS cents to 81 per day, with a
yearly average of 120 working days.
Under the tenant system. share
croppers were provided with ma
chinery and implements and shared
one-half of the crop production,
which is eliminated under the day
labor plan.
Agency Assistance Sought.
Additional aid from the Farm
Security Administration would be
asked, the officials said, as we'll as
help from the A. A. A. and other
Government departments. Whit
field said that the S150,000,000 slash
Of relief funds by Congress "is not
encouraging and certainly doesn't
look very favorable" Loaps have
been granted sharecroppers by the
F. S. A., he said, but only to meet
the present emergency, with no
plans for permanent solution.
MIR. Mitchell said that the Depart
ment of Justice intends to investi-
gate conditions in the Sikeston and
New Madrid sections and it was
understood that the problem would
also be presented to the Civil
Liberties Committee, with Whitfield
outlining events of the recent oust-
ing falling under the committees
scope.

FIRST FAIR HELD IN AMERICA WAS IN SOUTH

The first Fair in America is said
to have been held in Richmond,
Virginia, in May of 1742 and con-
tinued for two days "for the sale
and vending of all manner of cattle,
victuals, provisions, goods, wares
and merchandise whatsoever"
Let us compare that Fair of 1742
and the New York Worlds Fair,
1889! The first American Fair last
ed two days, while it is probable
this one will last two years. In
1742 the "victuals" were undoubted-
ly cooked and served by the good
housewives of Richmond, while now
it will take 80 restaurants with a
total seating capacity of 43,20O to
care for the estimated 100000 daily
visitors. Goods, wares and mer-
chandise" came to Richmond for
display from a radius no greater,
perhaps, than fifty miles, while 1889
sees 33 States and some 20 foreign
nations participating in the New
York Worlds Fair. News of the
proposed Richmond Fair was cir
culated by word of mouth from
neighbor to neighbOr, while now
there is New York Worlds Fair
