FARM CHIEFS LAUD | HENRY A. WALLACE Declare He Faces Biggest Job in History of U. S. Agriculture. The “biggest job in the history of American agriculture” faces Henry A. ‘Wallace of Iowa, whose appointment as Secretary of Agriculture was announced | formally by President-elect Roosevelt yesterday, in the opinion of national farm leaders. ‘The Wallace appointment was praised by farm leaders, who are hopeful of realizing a program of farm aid legisla- tion during the Roosevelt regime. There was only one dissenting voice in the chorus of praise, that of John A. Simp- son, vresident of the Farmers' Union. Simpson said he was not unfriendly to Wallace, but explained that *I don’ know much about him except that he is the publisher of a commercial farm publication that is in receivership.” “That makes him some farmer,’ Simpson said. “He wouldn't be eligible for membership in our organization be- cause he isn't a farmer. Maybe he will make a good Secretary, anyhow. don't know, and that remains to be de- termined.” O'Neal Well Pleased. Edward A. O'Neal, president of the America Farm Bureau Federation, praised the appointment, saying he re- garded Wallace as “the farmers' right bower in the bureau’s program.” “He has co-operated with us 100 per cent,” O'Neal said. “In seeking to ob- tain a united front on the part of agri- culture when it appears before Congress in support of a measure, Wallace has helped at every step and we believe he will continue his co-operation. “We expect Wallace will make an outstanding Secretary at a time when farmers face their biggest problems since this Nation was founded. He is a high type of man who understands the tremendous distress through which the farming industry is now passing.” Louis J. Taber, master of the Na- tional Grange, was absent from Wash- ington but his associates said Taber re- gards Wallace as “an excellent selec- tion.” Taber at a recent conference with Mr. Roosevelt outlined the abil- ities which he believed the new Secre- tary should have and informed the President-elect at that time that Wal- lace would “be acceptable.” More Interested in Relief. Simpson said that he is “less inter- ested in personality than in seeing that the Democratic party carries out its contract with American argiculture which was sealed on Election day last November.” “There are now 12,000,000 or more unemployed in industries,” Simpson sald. “We want the party to solve that problem, but we also want it to remem- ber that there are now 30,000,000 people on the farms who are employed, but who are getting no wages—in fact, they are paying for the privilege for working }glql’xgh the dissipation of their cap- “The party contracted to do every- thing to the end that farmers obtain the cost of production for their output,” Simpson said. “Part two of the con- tract provided that the Democratic party would help provide legislation to refinance agriculture at the lowest pos- sible interest rate with payment to be extended over a long period. We are going to see that that contract is car- thld out and we hope that Wallace will elp.” BISHOP CONFIRMS 31 AT MT. RAINIER, MD.| St. John's Episcopal Church Class Presented by New Rector, Rev. W.

By the Associated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, February 27— School men and women were urged by a Princeton University prefessor today to strike a blow at present economic conditions by helping establish barter exchanges in their communities. Enabling the unemployed to aid themselves through exchange of goods and services is a fundamental necessity despite public relief programs, said Harley L. Lutz, professor of public finance, a speaker before the depart- ment of superintendence, National Edu- cational Association. He was joined by Jesse H. Newlon, Columbia University professor, in urg- ing reconstruction of governments to with modern conditions. “Constitutional conventions are needed,” said Dr. Newlon. “Why should we hesitate to take bold measures in political affairs? National, State and municipal Governments need to be re- constructed. The slow process of piece- meal repair may be totally inadequate to prevent virtual if not complete col- lapse” Howard Scott, New York, expounding the doctrines of technocracy, advocated throwing the “debt method of wealth creation into the ash can” and attacked the price system. Hopes to Cut Production, and Find More Uses for Products. New Agricultural Secretary Feels Research Requires New Direction. MOINES, Iowa, February 27 ( .A.) —The one big task of the United States Department of Agricul- ture under the administration of Henry A. Wallace will be to assist the farmers | of the Nation to adjust their production to fit present demands and to seek de- velopment of new outlets for farm products. “Emphasis by the department and by the extension and educational work en- tirely along lines designed to increase | efficiency and production has served to cut down the portion of the national income received by the farmer” Mr. | | Wallace said soon after his acceptance of the cabinet position fn the Roosevelt administration. ‘e “A government which spends public money in research to make the farmer’s products worth less is highly negligent— I might almost say criminally negligent. Not that I don’t believe in research, but I do believe in this other thing, too.” Aid to farmers in retiring from pro- duction some of the millions of acres of land on which crops are being raised for which there is no market, he cited as one of the first problems facing the | department. | ‘The domestic allotment plan is con- sidered ‘'as the most feasible way of doing this, but the new Secretary hastened to add that the farm bill as | reported out by the Senate Agricultural Committee is by no means the domestic allotment plan as conceived by its origi- nators, ‘The agricultural extension forces should use their influence to educate farmers to see the necessity for taking out of production this land on which| a surplus is being produced, Mr. Wal- lace believes. ‘The domestic allotment plan prom- ises to be a major issue of the in- coming administration because it has been rumored that Prof. M. L. Wilson of Montana State College, originator of the allotment plan, has been invited to be the next head of the Bureau of DES N.AN. Agricultural Economics. Prof. Wilson, who is a native of Cass County, Iowa, and a graduate of Iowa State College, had not_definitely accepted the posi- BULLET WOUND FATAL TO FORMER RAILROADER | Cumberland Police Say Richard | A.

CUMBERLAND, Md., February 27—/ Richard Amos Davis, 42, former Balti. more & Ohio employe, died early yes- | terday from a self-inflicted gunshot | wound, according to police, who found him in his hotel room with a gapping | hole in the head made by a charge from a shotgun, which officers say. Davis held between his knees. Davis | was a furloughed Baltimore & Ohio | employe and it is thought he worried over lack of steady employment. Ac- cording to several hotel guests Davis | had indicated in his conversation that he intended to go shortly to Indiana. The door to Davis’ room was locked and the police had to break it in. Davis is survived by his mother, Mrs. Ellen Davis, and a brother, C. F. Davis. | SCHOOL BODY TO ELECT Bethesda-Chevy Chase Meeting ‘Will Be Wednesday Evening. Special Dispatch to The Star.

Morgenthau, jr. commissioner of conservation in New York State, will head the Federal Farm Board in the new administration. Mr. Wallace has been an open and active advocate of controlled currency | inflation as a means of economic re- covery, but indicated he might have| comparatively little to say on this sub- ject now that he is in the cabinet. “I haven't changed my ideas in the least, but I understand there will be another fellow in the cabinet to handle the money matters and I believe in playing teamwork,” said Mr. Wallace. “So perhaps we should leave such mat- ters to the Secretary of the Treasury, as I will have my hands full wlth; my own job.” Mrs. Wallace will spend a few weeks in Washington with Mr. Wallace fol-| lowing the inauguration, but they probably will not move to Washington for some time.

N CITY, Mo, February 27.—Estimates by Gen. Frank T. Hines, Federal administrator of war veterans’ affairs, of future costs of veterans’ legislation, were assailed as erroneously excessive “guesses” by Louis A. John- son, American Legion national com- mander, here yesterd..y. In an address before a conference of th> Missouri Legion, Johnson asserted that Hines’ department had found it necessary to withdraw two estimates as admittedly too high. Of a third, now reported in the hands of a joint congressional commit- tee studying veterans' legislation, John- son said: “The information comes from most reliable sources that Gen. Hines now admits that the laws on the books at the present time of veterans of all wars, will cost $1.081,000,000 in 1958, not 1946 (basis for the previous two esti- mates). The American Legion still does not accept’ this latest guess.” GRAND DUKE ALEXANDER DIES OF SPINE INJURY Brother-in-Law of Late Czar Was Hurt in New York While on Lecture Tour.
