C0SS TELLS WHY
HE RESIGNED JOB
Former Land Commissioner
Says Resignation Prompted
By Governor Black

WASHINGTON. March 22-B-
Albert S. Goss, insisting that he
wasn't "sore," declared today that
he resigned as federal land bank
commissioner last week at the
prompting Of Governor A. G. Black
of the Farm Credit Administration.
Goss told the house agriculture
committee today that Black suggest
ed 81 would be happier if I were
not connected with the adminlstra'
ton"
Il told him that was true" Goss
continued, relating that soon there
after he quit. Il think it was a
wise thing" he commented.
The former commissioner related
the story of his resignation after
Rep. Andersen (R-Minn) said he
wished to clear up published reports
that Goss was either forced out or
resigned because Of disagreement
with FCA's policies.
Goss said he was not in disagree
ment with FCA's policy and that, as
a matter of fact, there has been no
recent change in policy.
He said, however, that he and
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
had disagreed, in friendly manner,
over whether FCA should be in the
Agriculture department or run by
an independent board.
FCA was shifted from an indie
pendent status to the Agriculture
department last July 1 in a presi'
Dental reorganization order.
Goss said that for six years he
had plugged for creation Of a board
taking power over the setup now
run by the governor. His idea is,
he said, that the board members
terms should be staggered so mem
bers would change one at a time
and some would be carried over
even when political administrations
changed.
The former commissioner said he
failed to convince Wallace but that
they parted in friendliness and Wal
lace asked him to remain at his
post.

WORLDS OLDEST
HORSE SUCCUMBS
Retired Theatrical Prop Ami
NAL Dies In New Jersey
At Age Of 80

ROCKLEIGH, N. j., March %
R-Anna, said by her owner to be
tho Oldest horse in the world, died
today in her stable. She was SO.
nearly double the life span of the
average horse.
A theatrical prop" horse until
her retirement three and a half
years ago, Anna was ridden by the
late Rudolph Valentino in the mo-
ton picture, THE Sheik."
For many years she appeared in
opera in New York and abroad and
on numerous occasions was used by
Caruso in Aida
Douglas Hertz, owner of the Pc
gasus Polo club here, bought her
from a theatrical property agent in
1886 and placed her in retirement on
the clubs rolling meadows.
Hertz explained the horses long
evity by saying: 'she was always
among theatrical people and you
know how s~oft-hearted they are
They gave her every attention"
He said Anna belied her age. AL
though her white coat was thin and
her step uncertain, her vision and
hearing we're good, Hertz said, and
"she even had a few teeth left"
Two years ago Hertz staged a
party for the horse on her S7th
birthday Many notables were there
to do her honor.
