Senate Will Approve
Anderson Farm Bill
| s..
Today, Backers Say
By the Asseeiaisd Press

Senate leaders called Tor q new
test today on q long-range. slid
|ing-scale program Of farm price
supports. They said they have
the votes to win this time. !
Majority Leader Lucas called
the lawmakers into session ar
hour early in the hope Of COM
pleting action today Or tonight
on the controversial farm price
measure.
Both Senator Lucas and Sena-
tor Anderson, Democrat. OF New
Mexico, former Secretary OF Ag-
riculture, claimed enough votes
to assure that the bill-written
by Senator Anderson-will come
through without major change.
The big argument is over how
much to support farm prices with
Federal funds. The Anderson bill
would support basic crops at from
rs to 80 per cent of parity price
levels. Parity is figure declared
to be fair to the farmer in rela-
ton to the things he has to buy.
The biggest threat to Senator
Anderson's plan is once-success-
full move to make the support
price level fiat 80 per cent
However, even Senators Young
Republican. Of North Dakota anc
Russell, Democrat. of Georgia
who got the 80 per cent figure ir
the bill for a while this week, con.
ceded they were at a disadvantage
today.
Aided by q vote by Vice Presi.
dent Barkley that decided a 1873
tie on Tuesday. Senators Young
and Russell attached a suppor1
program for wheat. cotton, corn
rice, tobacco and peanuts at 81
per cent Of parity to the Ander'
son bill.
Yesterday Senators Lucas ant
Anderson succeeded in knocking
this out of the bill by a 9-to-:
vote at a closed session of the
Senate Agriculture Committee.

Sentence for Assault

A 52-year- -old church sexton

escaped from jail in New York
27 years ago, awaited sentencing

convicted on the assault charge by
the jury late yesterday for the
shooting of his wife. Mrs. Augusta
Elze, SO. at her home in the 450O
block of Macarthur boulevard
NV. The jury, however, acquit-
ted him of the more serious charge
of assault with intent to kill.
Police reported that after drink
ing during the day, Elze walked
into his wife's home. and fired
three shots, one of which struck
his wife in the chest. The sexton
according to police, then went out
in the front yard and fired another
shot in the general direction OF
his 11-month- -old granddaughter
Judge Alexander Holtzoff, who
presided at the trial, did not set
a date for sentencing and referred
the case to the probation officer

held on a robbery charge. He told

ton of the armed services. This
action of Capt. Crommelin led to
his suspension from duties and
the restriction of his movements.
Capt. Kane was asked: What
makes Capt. Crommelin tick?"
HE is an expert on morale; 1t
has been his major interest for a
number of years." was the ready
answer. Morale is the main thing
in conflict. Capt. Crommelin has
studied the campaigns of the past
war and in earlier history to learn
what part morale has played.
"He looked to his men to see
what make them tick. He extend
ed his interest to their families
This accounts for his success as
leader. He has had equal success
with his senior officers"
The subject of Cedric r. Worth
came up. Mr.. Worth admitted be-
fore the House Armed Services
Committee in August that he was
the author of the anonymous
document that led to the investi-
CATION into the Air Force procure
ment of the B-36 bomber.
Later, on September 10 Capt
Crommelin came out with state.
ment saying the furore over thu
B-36's came partly from an at.
tempt to keep military policy
makers from "emasculating tn,
offensive potential of the Unitet

He told of meeting last Ma.

cussed. He praised Mr.. Worth

Cannot Lend Support.
"The Navy cannot support an

cept of a Navy mans oath.

II can certify that the general

to the principles on which the

fully from the conclusion Of World
War I to the conclusion Of World

When Capt. Crommelin issued
that September 10 statement, he
said: I'm finished. This means
my naval career. But I hope this
will blow the whole thing open
and bring on another Congress
Tsional investigation"
Apparently Advanced.
Not only did this not finish
Capt. Crommelin. but the sequel
came close to being advancement
to job Of greater responsibilities
He had been a member of the
staff Of the Joint Chief Of Stats
working on secret war plans OF
tall three services. On September
lis he was reassigned and made
director Of naval aviation person
mel, a post vacated the day before
by Rear Admiral F. w. Mcmahon
It appeared-for a few hours
that the Navy was taking care OF
its own and that Capt. Crommelin
was getting a better assignment.
Then Navy Secretary Matthews
took a hand. He announced the
transfer Of Capt. Crommelin to
the Office Of the Deputy Chief OF
Naval Operation for Air. Instead
of taking the place of rear ad-
miral, Capt. Crommelin's assign
ment was under Rear Admiral E.
A. Cruise in the air warfare divi-
sion.

that really appears to have
jeopardized Capt. Crommelin's

that Cedrlc worm was pTOmpCeO
by the highest motives Of patriot
ism and selflessness in whatever
action he took to help point out
the dangers of the original Tyd-
ings bill for unification of the
armed forces). 1t is my firm belief
that when this entire investiga-
ton is completed, Cedric Worth
will be vindicated in the eyes OF
the American people"
Sees Two Accomplishments.
Capt. Kane was asked about
justification Of Capt. Cronamelin's S
support Of a man who attacked
the characters of two high Gov
ernment officials in an anonymous
document, later conceding there
was no support for the charges.
Capt. Kane said Capt. Crom-
melin held that what Mr.. Worth
had done had accomplished two
things:
/. Taken some of the most
Objectionable features out of the
Tydings Act
2. Given the Navy's point of
view a hearing on Capitol Hill and
before the American people.
Capt. Kane continued:
Capt. Crommelin had taken an
oath to defend his country against
domestic enemies as well as for
eign enemies. He felt he could
no longer work under the condi-
tions he was forced to work under.
His conscience would not permit
| it."
Capt. Kane described his friend
as tenacious in attaining his end
"a quality he exhibited in the
war-and Of answering purpose
This applied also to the Green
Bowl" episode.
Capt. Crommelin touched on m
investigation Of the Green Bowl
two years ago by testifying before
la Congressional committee that
q Navy society named the Green
Bowl had grown vicious with the
years.. It was said that its men,
bers had the inside track for pro-
motions and high-ranking jobs.
The Green Bowl was started in
1907 at the@ Naval Academy. a
bowl containing strong drink pre-
sumably being the focus Of meet
ings.
Navy Investigates.
The upshot of the investigation
was a Navy announcement that
the organization had ceased to
exist in 1914 but that. anyway,
lit was being banned forever. The
Navy said there was no evidence
the organization had the influ-
ence attributed to it for advanc-
ling its members but that there
had been an adverse effect to
a limited degree on service morale
because of the fear of the poten-
tialitis Of an alleged self-servine
secret society,""

Crommelin nor he had been Green
Bowl members.
