ENATOR DAVID A. REED of
Pennsylvania, fighting in the Re-
publican primaries for renomination,
emerged from the hectic battle victo-
rious over his rival,
Gov. Gifford Pinchot.
Reed's majority was
in the neighborhood
of 100,000, and long
before all the returns
were in Governor Pin-
chot gave up and
wired his congratula-
tions to the senator,
Since Senator
3 8 Reed, one of the Old
Guard conservatives,
Senator Reed has been an unrelent-
ing critic of the New Deal, and Gov-
ernor Pinchot, a “progressive” Repub-
lican, has given his full support to
President Roosevelt's policies, the re
sult of the primaries was halled with
glee by opponents of the national ad-
ministration. Both the candidates
made the New Deal the issue in thelr
campaign, and when the governor was
prevented by {illness from making
speeches, Mrs. Pinchot took the stump
and vigorously defended the Presi-
dent's programs of recovery. Notwith-
standing all this, Postmaster Farley
sald: “I do not regard the defeat of
Governor Pinchot as 8 New Deal test,”
and Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Dem-
ocritic leader, took the same attitude,
President Roosevelt refused to com-
ment.
Senator Daniel O. Hastings of Del-
aware, chairman of the Republican
congressional campaign committee, is-
sued a pronouncement that the Penn
sylvania primary result was “a great
victory for the American citizen who
wants a square deal and not a New
Deal,”
Governor Pinchot, who
twice before to get into
sald he would continue to fight for the
interests of the people against concen-
trated wealth, and it was reported that
he would run independently in Novem-
ber.
Joe Guffey, Democratic leader In
Pennsylvania, easily won his party's
nomination for the senate, but the Re-
publicans claim he will have small
chance against Reed In the election.
New Jersey also held a primary
tion. The Republicans nominated Sen-
ator Hamliton F. Kean for re-election
and Harold G. Hoffman for governor.
The Democrats who will oppose them

EADERS of the Republican party
in Indiana turned down Senator
Arthur R. Robinson quite decisively.
They not only defeated his plan to
gain control of the party organization,
but also refused to give assurance that
he would be unopposed for renomina-
tion In the state convention June 5.
The best the senator could get was an

Among those mentioned as possible
rivals of Robinson for the nomination
are former Senator Jim Watson, for-

Journ June 5, the President and sev-
eral congressional leaders got together
and pared down the legislative pro-
gram. They agreed to limit the “must”
bills to four measures. These are:
The one billion, three hundred mil
lion-dollar emergency appropriation
bill carrying funds for the continua-
tion of the New Deal relief activities,
The communications control bill pro-
posing the consolidation of federal reg-
ulation over all communications,
The loans to industries bill, author

termediate credit terms,
The deposit insurance extension bill,

year in lieu of putting the permanent
program contained in the Glass bank.
ing bill Into effect at this time.
Mr. Roosevelt sent to congress a
message explaining why the first
named bill is necessary, and urging
that no more than the amount asked
be appropriated,
One other measure that may be put
through at this session is the silver
bill upon which the President and the
silver bloc agreed and which was to
be introduced with a message from
Mr. Roosevelt. As predicted, this is
a compromise containing these pro-
visions:

ernment recognizes silver ag primary

ireen sald the unrest hinged on the
issue of company unions and that an-
tomoblle workers were “resentful”
that the settlement of the threatened
automobile Industry strike a few
weeks ago was generally halled as a
triumph for the company union and
a defeat for organized labor,
Dissatisfaction has been accentu-

I Y A vote of 62 to 13 the senate
passed the Fletcher-Rayburn bill
which places the securities markets of
the country under the regulatory con-
trol of a federal commission. The
measure already had passed the house,
but with the provision that the federal
trade commission should be the regu-
latory body, and this difference, to-
gether with the house's provision for a
fixed margin requirement, caused some
delay In the conference. At a press
conference President Roosevelt stated
that he preferred the house version of
the bill in those two particulars and
that he had told the chairman of the
committees so, although he had kept
his bands off the measure until it was
passed by both house and senate.

Washington, — The NRA Review
board's report to President Roosevelt,

ated more of a furore in Washington
than anything since the administration

out granting the contractors a hearing.
In fact, 1 gather from all indications
that the board's attacks were directly
responsible for General Johnson's ac-
tion fn releasing small businesses of
certain kinds from responsibility un-
der the codes. The far-reaching con-
sequences of the board's criticisms ean
only be partially evaluated at this
time, but the celerity of the Johnson
action In meeting some of the charges
by the board has led to more than a
sprinkling of suggestions that it may
be the beginning of the end for NIRA.
General Johnson explained, {n ro
leasing the minor industries from the
codes, that they constituted too small
a part of the recovery program to war-
rant the expense and time Involved
in administering codes, Of
course, he could not very well admit
that NRA was a faflure insofar as the
"little fellows™ are concerned, but
nevertheless there are plenty of ob
servers In Washington who so con
strued his statement. The interesting
thing about it was that his announce
ment was made public after the
board's report had been sent to Presi

had submitted the document to NRA
for an analysis of the criticisms,

any plans for a fight because it takes
money to make the mare go.

now that Republican leadership first
must be established, The Democrats
have that leadership in Mr. Roosevelt,
but they have to accept responsibility
also so that they can expect to be
attacked. Just as bappened during
the Hoover regime, the “onts” can
make the fur fly for the “ins” If they

Value of Manure
One ton of good quality manure is
equal in fertilizing value to 100 pounds
of 4-104 fertilizer. At least, this is
indicated by tests conducted by the
Arkansas College of Agriculture in co-
operation with farmers in every sec-
tion of that state.
These tests showed that ten tons of
manure gave a little higher yield of
corn, and a little lower yield of cotton,
than 600 pounds of 410-4 fertiliser.
in addition, the residual effects on the
following crops were greater with the
manure. This applies to manure that
has not been damaged severely by
heating or leaching.
The trials also showed that a better
balanced fertilizer is obtained by add-
ing 50 to 75 pounds of superphosphate
to each ton of manure. Manure is
poorer in phospbate than in nitrogen
and potash.-—Hoard's Dalryman,
