F. ). A. Head Defends
Paying Poll Taxes
OF lis Clients
Denies Vote Influencing
Charge Made by Judge
To Congress Group

By the Associated Press.
c. B. Baldwin, farm security ad-
ministrator, defended today as "a
perfectly proper thing" an F. S. A.
policy of helping its clients square
their poll tax bills.
Testifying before the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on Reduction
Of Non Essential Federal Expendi-
lures, Mr. Baldwin added he would
continue the practice unless specific
ally directed otherwise by Congress.
The farm security chief WAS sum-
moned before the committee after
Probate Judge Robert K. Greene Of
Greensboro, Ala, asked an investi-
cation of what he said was use Of
r. 8. A. funds to pay poll taxes of
the agency's loan clients, practice
which Judge Greene said citizens of
his community believed was for the
purpose Of influencing votes"
Promises Prosecution.
Asserting he would take vigorous
action against any employe Of
F. S. A. who undertook to influence
any ones vote and would insist on
criminal prosecution in such a case,
Mr.. Baldwin told the committee that
II deeply resent the implication OF
Judge Greene's statement"
Mr.. Baldwin said that in determin-
ing the needs of a family applying
for a rehabilitation loan, all of its
back taxes, including poll taxes,
debts, and necessary expenditures
were calculated and compared with
available resources. A loan was then
made, he explained, covering the
difference between the two.
Poll taxes" he said, "are con-
sidered the same as any other type
of taxes. If a family so desires,
sufficient funds will be included in
a loan to pay them
McKellar Charges Secrecy"
No family had ever been refused
loan, he added, because of refusal
to pay poll taxes, but it was the de-
sire of the r. S. A. that farm fami-
lies become "self-respecting mem
bers of their communities" and un-
dertake the responsibilities and OBJ
legations that go with citizenship
in a democracy"
Senator McKellar, Democrat, Of
Tennessee asserted that the policy
had been carried out under cir
cumstances of secrecy" and that
Congress had never been informed
of 1t.
Replying to other questions, Mr..
Baldwin said he had an opinion
from an Agriculture Department
legal adviser saying that inclusion
of poll taxes was not in violation of
State law.

the 10 Pacific Coast conference

But the managers were sitting
on two powder kegs that threat

Then, IL that problem doesn't
get the lads too groggy, they'll
have to figure out what they're
roing to do about arranging games
for the navy's pre-flight school at

the Navy is on only two confer
ence schedules - California and

witch in the eyes of certain grad

crumbs from the conference table.

after the interests of their ca
