Chairman Paul Butler in his
telegram that the House leaders
welcome the help of any group
from the national committee
and will be glad to consult with
such a group at any time. 1t
was apparent, however. that by
not going on the advisory COM
mittee the House leaders were
reserving final judgment on
whatever the advisory group
may recommend.
6 Accept Invitations
Mr.. Rayburn made the point
that the function Of the House
leaders is to represent the 233
Democratic members of the
House and that those members
might resent the leaders acting
as members of an outside COM
mittee.
A spokesman for the national
committee said today Represent
alive Edith Green of Oregon and
Senators Humphrey of Mime
sofa and Kefauver of Tennessee
have accepted the invitation to
serve on the advisory group. Ac-
ceptances also have been re-
ceived from former President
Truman, Gov. Averell Hartman
of New York and Adlai Steven
son. the party's standard bearer
in the last two elections.
A national committee spokes-
man said Mrs. Eleanor RooSe-
welt has replied that she would
like to consult with the advisory
group but could not serve as a
because it might con-
f1ict with her syndicated news
paper column.
A spokesman for the commit
tee said Mrs. Roosevelt advised
the committee that her syndi-
cate preferred that she not be-
come a member of the advisory
group.

ADVISORY group as individuals. In
fact. several already have ac-
cepted. But they will not be
speaking as leaders.
Speaker Rayburn sent the ma
tional committee telegram Sat-
urday announcing that he and
three other top Democrats hold
ing leadership positions believe
it would be a mistake for them
to serve on a committee outside
of Congress. The three asso-
ciates he referred to were Demo-
cratic Floor Leader Mccormack
OF Massachusetts, Representative
Albert of Oklahoma, party whip:
and Representative Kirwin of
Ohio, chairman of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Campaign
Committee.

Senate Democratic Leader
johnson Of Texas is home for
Christmas and could not be
reached by telephone at his
ranch near Johnson City today.
But a member of his staff in
Texas said the Senator had not
revealed his decision on the ma
tional committee invitation be-
fore his departure on a trip two
days ago.
1t was being taken for granted
by political observers in Wash
ington, however. that Speaker
Rayburn would have consulted
Senator Johnson before reveal
ing the attitude of the House
leaders. Those observers also
were specializing today that SEN
ator johnson is not likely to go
counter to the judgment Of
Speaker Rayburn.
without the congressional
leaders in its membership, the
proposed advisory group will not
be as influential as if they had
accepted.

The fact that Woodrow Wilson was almost

The public was never fully informed on the
decline Of Franklin d. Roosevelt. And
millions Of Americans did not realize how

Gid not indicate that was pre-

Preliminary returns from the
S94 commercial corn counties
showed that farmers approved
an acreage allotment program
for next years and subsequent
corn crops instead of the alter
nate base acreage program
which Benson backed.
Decision Was Theirs
Mr.. Benson said in a state
ment that the farmers by their
vote had chosen to continue
using the acreage allotment pro-
gram. that the decision was
properly theirs" and that the
department would do every
thing in its power to administer
the program constructively."
But he added there would be
serious problems.
lie said that the national acre.
allotment for commercial coun-
ties has had to be cut sharply
in recent years under the legis-
lative formula which calls for
lower allotments as supplies
build up.
G"As a result" the Secretary
said, many farmers have found
that it was not practical for
them--within the limits Of sound
farm management-to reduce
their corn crop to the allotment
level.
Therefore the corn adjust
ment program has not proved
effective in either adjusting lro-
duction or providing a broad
base of price support"
