SPEAKERS' BUREAU ‘Farley Names Texan—Cam- paign Will Be Run From New York. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Chairman James A. Farley of the Democratic National Committee, who 15 Soon to take a furlough from his job as Postmaster General, has se- Jected Representative Sam Rayburn of Texas to head the Democratic Speak- ers’ Bureau. Rayburn, who is expected to be a eandidate for Democratic floor leader 4f not for speaker of the House in the next Congress, will have his head- quarters in New York. Farley also disclosed at a press con- ference yesterday that the Democrats would have no regional campaign headquarters; that the campaign would be run and directed from the New York headquarters. This does| not mean, however, that there will not be advice sought from the Presi- dent as the campaign proceeds or that orders will not be issued from | Washington. Only a skeleton of the| big Democratic headquarters which | have been maiutained here will be left. | In this concentration of headquar- | ters in the East the Democrats will not follow the lead of the Republicans, | who are to have their major head- quarters in Chicago. This arrange- ment may be symbolic of the attitude of the two parties; the Republicans | feel that their major battle is in the | West this year, while the Democrats | probably believe they will meet their severest opposition in the East. G. 0. P. Not Overlooking East. ‘The Republicans are not overlooking | the East, however, for they are open- | ing headquarters in New York under | the direction of Recpresentative Joseph W. Martin, jr., of Massachusetts. Farley, speaking at his first press conference since President Roosevelt'’s announcement that he would be granted a furlough without pay from his cabinet job beginning August.1, 80 as to give all his time to the politi- cal campaign, said: “I don't concede a single State to; the Republicans.” No amount of questioning could shake Farley on this statement. It seems clear, however, that the Demo- cratic chairman would take this posi- tion in any event, s0 as not to dis- courage Democratic workers in any State. If he should agree that the Republicans probably would carry a State, or several States, it would be like a wet blanket for the Democrats in those sections. Not Disturbed By Lemke. ‘The Democratic chairman said that *I am not disturbed by the Lemke third party ticket.” John Hamilton, Republican national chairman, has| claimed that for every vote Lemke | takes from the Republicans he will| take six votes from the Democrats. “I intend to make a file of Hamil- ton’s claims,” said Farley, Jaugh. “It will make interesting read- ing after the November election re- turns are in.” “I suggest,” he continued, “that you read the claims made by Hamilton | -when he was managing the Repub- lican candidate for Governor of . Kansas in 1930, the night before the election. Woodring (a Democrat) was elected.” Harry Woodring is now Assistant Secretary of War. i - Farley admitted that Internal Rev- ~enue Commissioner Helvering, a Kan- | ~~#an, probably would have an impor- | ~tant part in the campaign in that| ~Btate. i € » | THOSE Washingtonians who imagine with & Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things.

Carroll and Town Officer Kemp Marshall jailed Magistrate J. Hall White after an exchange cf shots here today. The gun battle took place in front | of the house where White's wife had an apartment. No one was injured. ‘The officers took White to the county jail, but placed no charges against him immediately. Sheriff Carroll said he had been in- formed that White had gone to his wife's apartment. The magistrate had left town several months ago after domestic difficulties in which his daughter charged he fired at her. The sheriff said he and Officer Mar- | shall found White sitting on the porch | of the house where his wife was stay- | ing. He said they spoke to White and | he came down the steps toward their car.

Refuses Discussion. + Farley would not discuss in any way Questions as to whether he had pro- Posed to resign fmom the cabinet or whether the President had prevailed upon him to take furlough instead, as feported in some quarters. 7 He said he had put off the date of furlough until August 1 because he d made promises to make several $peeches, as Postmaster General, at postal service gatherings during July. | Also he wished to finish up the fiscal | gear's work of the Department. Farley said that he believed the de- partment would wind up the fiscal year with a deficit of from $5,500,000 to $7,000,000. He pointed out, how- dver, that the postal service had in- stalled a 40-hour work week, which accounted for an increase in costs of £30,000,000. :The chairman said he thought the €ampaign had been under way a long time, but that it would not become very active until September. “I don't believe the people are in- terested,” he sald. His view is that they are satisfied with the Roosevelt New Deal. Names Some Spellbinders. Asked to mention the names of some of the Democratic spellbinders who would go into the campaign, Farley mentioned Secretary Hull, Secretary Wallace, Secretary Ickes and Attor- ney General Cummings. He did not include the name of Rexford W. Tug- well, Undersecretary of Agriculture, Wwho has drawn considerable of the criticism adverse to the New Deal. Two predictions Farley made. One was that Mayor La Guardia of New - York City would support Roosevelt against Landon, and that the confer- ence of “progressives” which Senator “La Follette of Wisconsin announced ».would be called after the national con- -ventions would support Roosevelt. La Follette is in the Maine woods « On a vacation. He is expected to re- « turn to Washington after July 15 and 1ol announce a date for the progres- « sive conference. Makes No House Predictions, While Farley. declared that the # Democrats would be “satisfied with the Democratic majority in the House of - Representatives” after the next elec- tion, he made no specific prediction < &s to whether the Democrats would re- tain their present huge majority in that body. + Nor would he make predictions about . several senatorial races called to his attention, among them the race wheih GoV.

By the Assoctated Press. BALTIMORE, July 9.—Five cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, result- ing in three deaths, have been re- ported in Maryland this year, Dr. C. H. Halliday, State epidemiologist, said today. The proportion of deaths is a little higher than usual, he said. However, one of them was that of an elderly per- son and another of a child 2% years old. and the malady is always more | serious for those in the extremes of age, he added. The disease is carried by ticks and transmitted by their bites. It was prevalent during the Summer of 1934, although there are always a few cases, The cases reported this year were from Carroll, Montgomery, Harford and Cecll Counties and from the vicin- ity of Laurel, in Prince Georges County. A Mount Airy woman also died of what may have been spotted fever, al- though there is some doubt about the dildgnosh in this case, Dr. Halliday | said.

In announcing this yesterday, it was explained that during the period of the closing President and Mrs. Roosevelt will be out of the city. The work of removing the old wire system, most of which was installed during McKinley’'s and Theodore Roosevelt's administrations, will cost & trifle under $60,000, the contract having been given to H. P. Foley, con- tractor, of this city, the lowest bid- der, and will be done under the super- vision of Capt. Edwin P. Locke, Corps of Army Engineers. This innovation followed & report made recently to the President by the Federal Fire Council, after making a thorough inspection of the White House to determine what should be done to remove existing fire hazards. In addition to the installation of new electric wiring, a modern system of automatic fire detection will be in- stalled. Mrs. Roosevelt, while discussing the electric wiring in the President’s home a few days ago, described the house as being a fire trap because of the antiquated wiring and lack of some sort of fire-detecting system. When the modern kitchen was installed in the White House last year, most of the ancient wiring in the basement floor was thrown out and new wiring installed.

F. Livingston in Scientific Ameri- |can. World changes in agriculture are tending to make nations more and | more self-sustaining, which means that we must broaden our markets at | home. One way to do this is by cul- tivating on American soil those agri- | cultural raw materials we now im- port. The other way is by finding new uses for our crops in our manu- facturing industries. We are follow- |ing both of these methods of devel- opment. Soy beans furnish the almost per= fect example. Introduced in this country over & century ago from | China, they were first grown in the South. Acreage was limited and the beans were fed mainly to hogs, re- gardless of the fact that soy-bean |oil was being imported from China for use in the paint industry. Then research tackled the problem and a wholly different story may be told to- day. Soy Beans Increase. In 1935, almost 5,500.000 acres in |27 States were planted to soy beans alone. This was an increase of one- third over 1934. Almost 21,000,000 | pounds of American-produced soy- bean oil was used by industry. About | half of this went into the maki of paint and varnish. The balance went into soaps, linoleum and o cloth, printing inks, edible con pounds and various other industrial products, including automobiles. Gea: shift knobs, engine distributer covers ornamental door handles and othe: | parts of automobiles are now be made out of soy-bean meal. Chemis have found more than 300 possible uses for it. In 1920 two-thirds of the casein used by American industries was im- ported. By 1934, all but 4 per cent of the needs for this dairy by-product was being supplied by home pro- | ducers, who. with chemical and en- gineering aid, found it possible compete with the dairymen of A:- gentina and elsewhere. Many Uses of Cotton. Through chemical conversion cellulose, the uses of cotton have come literally hundreds. Cotton seeds once a waste, now have a value of over $200,000.000 in a cotton crop of $1.560.000.000. Cottonseed oils, hulis into | !come valuable materials. Coated fabrics, such as “Fabrikoid.” consume cotton by the millions of pounds Cotton enters into the manufacture of ccments for leather, textiles and paper; into water-proofing composi- tions. smokeless powder. gun cotton, blasting gelatin, coal mine explosives, toilet articles, electric insulators, mo- tion-picture film, golf balls and women'’s fingernail polish. The list is almost endless Rayon is perhaps the outstanding example of chemically - wrought change in a raw material. This firs: man-made textile fiber, while it might be said to compete with cotton, at the same time really is cotton meta- morphosed. And as rayon it has taken its place in flelds where cotton as such never has entered. In the | aggregate, it is said, that the chemist has added $10 per bale to the normal- time value of the cotton crop.

Dionne __ (Continued From First Page.) known by their first names of Cecile, Yvonne, Marie, Emily and Annette. That there were five other Dionnes was soon learned. They are Pauline, Danie, Ernest, Therese and Rose. Immediately an attempt was made to exhibit the children at Chicago's Century of Progress. The father and the village priest agreed. Dr. Dafoe Says “No.” But Dr. Dafoe put his foot down flatly, said “No” and warned against moving the tiny humans from their home. Papa Dionne abided by the doctor’s orders. It wasn't long before he sickened of the public gaze. He became restive, refused comment. ‘When the children were two months old the District Court appraised the situation and named four guardians— Dr. Dafoe, a Red Cross official, a Cal- lander merchant and Oliver Dionne, the grandfather. Curious sightseers, a night prowler and the fear of forest fires gave the grandfather, lone guard at the old farm, a lot of work to do. But Dr. Dafoe kept busy. A tumor on Marie’s leg was treated with radium for several months, and carefully the babies were moved from incubators to beds, enjoyed their first sun bath and were introduced to soap and water bathing. ‘ By Fall it was reasonably certain the quintuplets had an average life ex- pectancy, and they 5;: moved to their Winter home, % had been built during the Summer. Oliva and Elzire Dionne presently Joined the stream of life outside their A - little community and there was in- augurated that series of events which jolted them rudely into protracted bickering. In early February, under the aegis of a vaudeville promoter, they left for Chicago on & “good will” tour which ended with their appearance on stages of the Middle West. Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn lashed out against the tour. “It's a dis- grace; it's cheap, and we are going to try and save the children from such humiliation if possible.” Oliva Dionne countered by retain- ing an attorney to force the Ontario government to remove the state guar- estimated $100,000 estate of quintuplets to him. “We have 10 children,” said Mrs. Dionne, “and we are not in favor of the their little brothers and sisters are brought up in comparative poverty.” When the Ontario Legislature con- sidered & bill to make the quintuplets “wards of his majesty the King," the Dionne anger boiled over again. “We always thought we were living in & free country,” said the father. “But it doesn't look like that now. I wonder how far North we would have to go to be free.” ‘The lieutenant governor signed the bill making the King responsible for the babies until they reach the age of 18. ‘The estate mounted to an estimated $151,187 between July 16, 1934, and March 31, 1935, and the allowance of father Dionne was boosted to $100 a month.
