Profile Of Kline
IN WASHINGTON

ALLAN B. KLINE, pres dent Of
"a the American Farm Bureau
Federation, has had what is known
as a sbad press" at times since he
has been in Washington healing up
this tremendously large organiza
ton. But recently Mr.. Kline, at
press luncheon at the Statler hotel,
revealed himself as very human
individual, very different from the
slightly pugnacious, blunt and un-
tactful reputation he had gained
with some members OF the Wash.
lngton press.
On this occasion he was gracious
ness itself and made an excellent
talk revealing his complete ia.
miliarity and knowledge of the job
he has taken on as head OF the
largest farm organization. He hac
slightly curly, greying hair, is of
medium height, talks easily and
has a ready smile and is quick on
the trigger at answering questions.
And he scotched a story which has
gone round and round in Washing
ton concerning his relations with
Governor Dewey Of New York and
the allegation that he was consider
ably disappointed at not becoming
secretary of agriculture under Mr..
Dewey. $50
"In the first place." MIR.
Kline said, II am the kind Of .
Republican who voted for Al
Smith in rs and who voted for
Franklin d. Roosevelt in '32
and SO. In the second place,
was never in Mr.. Dewey's Of
flee but one time and ! assure
yOu nothing was said about my
becoming secretary Of agricuI-
ture. / never made a speech for
him, l never asked anybody to
vote for him, l never wrote a
letter for him. I did absolutely
nothing about his cam
paign," -.
And some one chimed in And
neither did anybody else"
And in the third place." smil
ingly continued Mr.. Kline, "abotlt

ship ele Democrats and about half
are Republicans and the president
of the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton cannot play politics and
hold on to his job. And 1 like this
job. It's simply wonderful and

rotary of Agriculture. 80

it out. dropped in at the meeting
in Town Hall last week just in time
to hear Smiley Roberts.
"The curfew is old-fashioned,"
says Smiley. "We ought to be
grown-up enough by now to behave
like grownups. Seeing to it that
our kids get to bed is the response
bility of each family" Then Judge
Cunningham adds, "Most of us

Arlington Auto Tags
Available for 1900
Tax-Exempt Persons

Some of the Arlington automo-
bile owners who are entitled tc
free county licenses may obtain
their tags this week.
More than 1000 persons are
exempt from the county car tax
chiefly by reason of the fact they
are residents of other communi-
ties on military assignment in Ar
lington.
The county already has issued
$50 tags to exempted military per-
sonnel. The special license plates
being issued protect the owners
from ticketing by police.
The free tags are being distrib-
uted at the Arlington County We
hicle License Division. 2043 Will
son boulevard.
Persons who believe they are
not liable for purchase of the tag
are asked to bring to the county
Office the registration card of their
vehicle and copy of military Or
ders assigning them to this area
The schedule for applicants has
been set up by Mrs. B. N. Kenyon
chief of the vehicle license dlvi-
sion, to speed issuance of the tags
Persons whose last names begin
nth the letter T. through D are
asked to report before Saturday;
E through K, from Monday
through June 16; l. through R.
June 1928, and S through z, June
$3.50.
This procedure does not apply
Mrs. Kenyon warned, to anyone
who has received a summons to
appear in court.
Because Arlington police will
not enter military reservations te
ticket cars not displaying the To-
cal tag, exempt personnel who
store their cars at night inside
the reservations do not need the
exemption tag.
