Lush Campaign Funds

Big time money is still pouring
into senatorial primaries, the latest
to attract attention being the New
Hampshire battle between two Re-
publicans, elder statesman Sen
ator Charles Tobey and ex-Senate
Secretary Wesley Powell.
Powell, an energetic young man
who formerly ran the office of New
Hampshire's Senator Styles Bridges
seems to have an abundance of
funds to spend in his campaign
against Tobey Yet he resigned
from his job with Senator Bridges
one year ago, has no law practice,
no other important means of sup
port, and has been giving all his
time to campaigning,
Where he gets his lush campaign
chest is not yet known However,
Humans close friend Ed Pauley
once vowed. that he could contrib
ute any amout Of money to defeat
Senator ~ Tobey. This was after
Tobey led the Senate attack which
defeated GILMAN Pauley for ap-
pointment as Undersecretary OF the
Navy Totey maintained that with
the Navy buying large amounts OF
oil, ya-.hig Gilman .4Who had, raised
thousands for the Democratic party,
should not be running the Navy.
Also sore az Tobey and reported
anxious to unseat him are David
Sarnoff of RCA, whose operations
Tobey once exposed, and the Tex
iron Company, also investigated by
Tobey.
Meanwhile, Iowa's Senator Gill;
cite, chairman of a special COM
mittee to probe election campaigns
has been requested to investigate
New Hampshire 1t isn't likely
however, that the likable gentle
man from Iowa will do anything,
In the first place, Gillette is too
sasygoing. In the second place,
Senator Tohey once trod ION Gill
lette's toes in a previous election
probe IN.
This was in 1910, when Tobey
and the late Senator Alva Adams
of Colorado wanted to scrutinize
the campaign Vaccinations of the
Hague machine in New Jersey
However, Senator Gillette, was cal
led to the White House and asked
to 10y off. Later, he called meet
ing of his full committee, and,
in urging them not to investigate
the Hague machine, literally broke
down and wept.
Gentlemen" he said, you don't
know the pressure that 1 am un-
der"
However, Senators Tobey and
Adams went ahead with the New
Jersey probe anyway.

Fight on Senate Floor
Due on Compromise
Over Price Supports
BY the Associoted Press

A new Senate-House price sup
ports compromise ran into heavy
criticism today from Northern
Senators who said it favors the
South.
II don't know why any North
erner would vote for it," Senator
Young, Republican, of North Da-
kota said.
AS approved by a conference
committee yesterday the emer-
gency farm measure would:
l. Tighten price supports for
potatoes this year and drop them
entirely after this year unless
rigid controls operated.
More Cotton Supports.
2. Allow price supports on
IL million acres of cotton over
previous allotment of 81 million
acres.
| 3. Allow peanut growers 100000
more acres above previous allot-
ment of 81 million acres and also
permit excess peanuts to be grown
for oil or other uses without pen
alties. under certain conditions.
The measure was the second
compromise worked out by the
conferees after two weeks of work
The first bill was sent back when
Senator Anderson, Democrat, of
New Mexico observed that one
of it's provisions was included in
neither the original House nor
Senate measures.
The disputed section-which
would have allowed wheat farmers
who lost winter crops through
damage by "greenbugs" to replace
2 acres of wheat by one of cot
ton-Was not in the bill which
the conference group whipped into
shape in a few hours yesterday.
The farmers affected by the
greenbug section are largely in
Oklahoma.
Plans Vote Today.
Representative Cooley, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, who
headed the House delegation on
the committee. said he planned
to bring the compromise up for
vote today.
The House also scheduled action
on a measure increasing the capi-
talization of the Commodity Credit
Corp. by 81 billion to $6,750,O00,-
900. to meet the needs of next
years price support program.
Discussing the peanuts-cotton-
potato legislation, Mr.. Cooley said:
Il don't anticipate much trouble
getting it through the House. We
put it through by about a 2-to-1
margin before and it has been
modified to meet criticism"
Senate Floor Fight Due.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana, hoped to follow up
House approval with Senate con-
sideration later in the day, but he
faced a floor fight.
Senator Aiken. Republican, of
Vermont, who with other COP
Senate conferees refused to sign
the new report, said:
This is just about as bad as
the other one. It would certainly
cost the Government $150,000, 900
extra for price supports and it
certainly can do damage to agri-
culture both in the North and
South"
Senator Taft. Republican, of
Ohio, chairman of the Senate
COP Policy Committee, predicted
that most Republicans will vote
against it."
He said the small savings
through tighter potato controls
would be far outweighed by added
cost for cotton and peanuts.
