boards executive secretary. She did,
laughing at some of the more pung-
ent phrases which Mr.. Toland read
One letter from Mr.. Witt said
Chairman Madden had asked him
to direct her attention to a note
from Ed S. Herwig, described as an
editorial employe of the Providence
(R. - Journal. Mr.. Herwig had
written the chairman:
The Albany situation is one in
which suggest you take a personal
look; labor in upstate New York is
wavering in its faith in your board
as result of the Albany regional
districts constant delays and
favoring of industrial interests"
Mrs. Herrick, incensed, answered
that the very request is an insult" :"
and declared
If operate on the basis of Tin
Box Farley, Mr.. Madden should
fire me pronto'
The exchange referred to a News
paper Guild case involving the Press
Co., Inc, and Gannet Co., which,
the committee was informed, is
pending in the District Court of
Appeals.
LAS matter of fact" Mrs. Her
rick wrote, this case was advanced
out of its turn on the hearing calen-
dar by at least two and a half
months. There are older cases still
awaiting hearing. It's the last time

She also wrote: Il understand

guild member"
Secretary Replies.
The board secretary retorted in
another letter that he did not see
why she should carry out any re-
prisals against the guild simply
because Herwig is not a guild men,
ber. That simply amt fair"
In her earlier testimony, Mrs. Her
rick explained her outspoken criti-
cisms of the labor board, made in
reports to its Washington Office,
for alleged dilatory tactics, which,
she said, encouraged strikes instead
of preventing them. She explained,
however. that this was a condition
obtaining a couple of years ago
which she believed had been cor
rected to a large extent.
Mrs. Herrick said she sent tele-
gram to Chairman Madden protest
ing against "OGPU" methods of the
board because two investigators had
searched her office and questioned
her staff in her absence.
In a report to the organization Of
regional directors, of which she was
secretary, Mrs. Herrick wrote: "Are
you all as fearful of what Congress
may do to emasculate the act as I
ann"
She denied that the regional di-
rectors had a union" though she
said they had taken up the matter
Of minimum salary, suggesting
5000.
Mrs. Herrick also denied that an
elaborate dinner which she and
other board officials attended with
officers of New York company in
volved in labor dispute had any
effect on the decision. She pointed
out that the decision went against
the company.
WAS $500 spent for food and
drinks by the company that night?"
the committee counsel asked.

Wheeler Calls Program
Mere GeneroIities

By the Associated Press.
The suggestions of Senator Taft,
Republican. of Ohio for balancing
the budget we're criticized by q
Democratic colleague today as gen.
eralities.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat. of
Montana said of the five points Mr..
Taft enumerated in an address to
the Chicago Bar Association last
night:
Those are a lot of generalities
that mean very little. Every Demo-
cratic platform and every Repub-
lican platform has laid those down
as fundamental principles of gov
ernment in the last 40 years.
HE doesn't say where or how
much he would cut expenses. How
much he would allot for the Army,
Navy, public works; how many men
he would add to the unemployed.
We all want to balance the budget,
and the way it will be done is for
business to pick up, to get money
into the hands of the consumers
who can buy the surpluses we now
have"

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-Extending
the wheat markets setback since
Tuesday to 3 to 4 cents a bushel,
prices resumed their downward
course today with losses of almost
cent.
Reports of rain and snow in many
sections of the grain belt, particu-
larly in the Southwestern drought
zone, attracted selling. The official
forecast indicated further precipi-
tation can be expected in the hard
winter wheat belt over the week.
end and possibly by the middle of
next week.
Early declines carried May wheat
to around $103 while July fell to
around $101. Subsequently the
market developed more strength
and at times showed power to rally.
Some buying was credited to mil
ling interests. Winnipeg prices
also dipped and then steadied.
Many points in the area where
fall and winter drought has pre-
vailed reported good SHOWS, with
rain south into Texas. The snow
was regarded as important, not only
in supplying much-needed moisture,
but in protecting wheat against cold
weather.
A private report from Washington
indicated the Tariff Commission,
which is investigating the current
grain trade situation with respect
to possibility of imports of Canadian
wheat into the United States, may
recommend import quotas if neces-
sary. This step would be taken only
If the spread between United states
and Canadian prices widens so far
that these importations will be pos
sible despite the AZ cents a bushel
duty.
Corn prices dipped about u cent
at one stage, but then rallied.
Another cargo was reported sold for
export, but some interests in the
East claimed Great Britain is not
in the market. Ireland has taken
some corn recently.
Oats showed little change, while
rye and soy beans were higher.
Lard also had higher tendency.
At II am. wheat was 3s-A cent
lower, compared with yesterdays

Farm Fund Inaction
Would Affect 1941
Incomes, Officials Say
$225,000, 900 on Hand
For Summer and Fall
Parity Payments
py the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
Administration farm officials ex.
planned today that, If Congress
made no provision for farm parity
payments in the Agriculture De-
partment appropriation bill, the abb
sence of such subsidies would not
show up in producer incomes until
the summer and fall of 1941.
In his budget message, President
Roosevelt made no provision for
parity payments, saying he was in
huenced by the hope that prices
would advance to a point where
farm income would not be lowered
If the payments were not voted.
Officials said that 1925 ,000. 600 ap-
propriated last year for parity pay
ments would be distributed during
the coming summer and fall among
producers of cotton, wheat, corn,
rice and possibly some types of to-
bacco Only those farmers CO.
operating with crop control pro-
grams will be eligible.
Parity payments get their name
from farm price goal set up in the
1888 Crop Control Act. This legis-
lation authorizes programs designed
to raise and maintain prices Of
major farm products at level
which would give them purchasing
power, in terms of non-farm goods
and services equal to that they held
in the 1909-14 period.
Parity prices for major crops In
mid-December, as determined by
Government economists, compared
with actual average farm prices,
were: Cotton, 1876 and 81 cents a
pound; wheat, Sill and 83.5 cents
a bushel; corn, 800 and SOB cents
a bushel; rice, s102 and 1853 cents
a bushel; hue-cured tobacco, 1872
and 1877 cents a pound; hurley to-
bacco, 1863 and 1873 cents a pound,
and dark air-cured tobacco, 8.5 and
6.3 cents a pound.

William Powell
Is on Honeymoon
With Third Bride
Actor, Al, Weds SturIet,
21,3Weeks After Meeting
Her, in Surprise EIopement
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 6.-The
super sleuth Of the cinema, William
Powell, Al, was honeymooning on q
Nevada dude ranch today with his
third bride, 21-year-old rising movie
starlet Diana Lewis.
She's comely. auburn-haired,
blue-eyed, weighs 10O-even. Is the
daughter of vaudeville veterans. Mr..
and Mrs. j. c. Lewis of Asbury Park.
N. j., and not so long ago was the
No. l heart interest of that gay
young blade of the films, Mickey
Rooney.
The surprise elopement and mar
riage of Mr.. Powell, who has been
on the screen for 20 years, and Miss
Lewis, whom he had known only
three weeks, created quite stir in
the film capital.
Mr.. Powell returned to movie work
only recently after a years serious
illness. He again is essaying the
detective roles that brought him SO
much popularity in the Thin Man"
and similar roles.
Miss Lewis must be back in Holly
wood Monday morning to start work
in an Eddie Cantor picture in which
she has the feminine lead.
Yesterdays marriage was per-
formed by Justice of the Peace E. D.
Hickman before an improvised altar
set up amid grove of trees on the
Hidden Well ranch near Las Vegas,
New. Witnesses included Edna Best,
estranged wife of Herbert Marshall,
and Nat Wolfe, Hollywood radio
agent, who announced recently he
intended to marry Miss Best when
she divorced Mr.. Marshall.
The bride, sister of Singer Max
inc Lewis. herself formerly was a
singer with Larry Leeds Orchestra.
Actor Francis Lederer noticed her
in a musical comedy chorus here in
1888 and introduced her to studio
agents through whom she eventually
won motion picture contracts.
Mr.. Powell's second wife was
Actress Carole Lombard. After their
divorce he became interested in Jean
Harlow, and they were engaged at
the time of the platinum blond"
actress death in June, 1887. Miss
Lombard now is the wife of Actor
Clark Gable.

Another Rumanian worry is the
possibility of German drive east
ward, as was the case in the last
war, to get Rumania's rich resources
and possibly to block friendly"
Russia in the Balkans.
To meet this contingency Ru-
mania is trying to satisfy German
demands for supplies without i'm
pairing her own reserves or ma
tional economy and without Offend
ing Britain and France, who have
guaranteed her frontiers.
This requires skillful dealing, for
German commercial demands are
heavy. In her latest agreement
with Germany, signed December 81,
Rumania yielded to Nazi demands
for bigger quota of oil and gave
Germany better price, increasing
the value of the Reichsmark in
clearings from Ais to 49 lei.
Hold Onto Railway Cars.
Rumania held firm, however, In
her refusal to send her tank cars
and freight cars into Germany
This was important to Germany
because her main problem in get
ting supplies from Rumania is
transportation, now that the Brit
ish-French blockade has closed the
Constanza Hamburg sea route and
the Danube is frozen over.
Only the rail route is left open
and Germany is short on rolling
stock for the long trip to Rumania
and back.
At present Rumanian oil tanks
and freight cars 60 only to the
frontier. Vast stores of goods wait
ing to be loaded on other cars have
piled up at frontier points IN re-
cent weeks.
Russia has shown little disposition
to help Germany out of this pre-
dicament.

Regarding grants and subsidies,
the Senator said all that was re-
quired was Leadership toward in

Mr.. Taft charged that "a good
deal of the new spending is pro-
posed, not for the sake of defense,
but for the sake of spending"
