Statement Issued in Reply To Attacks of Governor On President STOPS IN ATLANTA Says F.D.R. Has Done More for Agriculture Than Any Others ATLANTA — () — A warning that dissenters from policies of President Roosevelt find their only warm welcome in the ranks of the Republican party was given Gov erpor Talmadge in a staement is sued by Congressman E. E. Cox, Democrat, Georgia, today as he passed through Atlanta en route home for a few days from Wiash ington. The statement was issued iin re ply to attacks the governor has made on the president and some of his policies in connection with the AAA and NRA programs, Congressman Cox, who has serv ed as congressman from the second Georgia district for the past ten years, declared that President Roo sevit “has done more for agricul ture in the past two and a half years than had been done in the previous history of this country,” and that it would be “calamitous for the farmer and the average man to go back to Republican rule.” ~ Farmer's Demand “The demand for discontinuance of the processing tax on cotton is not a farmer's demand and is not made in his interst,” Congressman Cox said. “Its discontinuance would require a revision of the entire re covery program and is too foolish to consider seriously at this time.” The statemnt of Congressman Cox follows: “If Governor Talmadge has been correctly reported by the press as planning to start a campaign against the administration agricul tural program, I hope he will not go through with it, for it would be construed into an attack upon the president and this would be unfor tunate., “We must not permit our party differences to lead us into the camp of the enemy where is to be found a warm welcome for all dissenters. We know what Republican party control means to the average man— it would be calamitous to go back to it.

HAROLD OLIVER Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON —(AF)— Demoe cratic leaders in the senate decided today to apply the ‘silent treat ment” to Senator Long (D-La), who cut loose yesterday with a new assault in which he slung such words as “chinch bug” and “igno ramus” at New Deal chiefs. After experiencing some difficulty and mental strain in remaining in their seats while Long voiced his threat to take Louisiana out of the tax-paying union, the leaders were said to have reached the-conclusion that better results would be ob tained by silence than by returning shot for shot. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, was all set to reply to Long at one point yes terday. But he consulted associ ates first and changed his mind. Vice President Garner advised against a reply on the ground that Long could be handled better if let alone. Whether or not this agreeg with the foture strategy of Secretary Ickes, Public Work administrator, and Harry L. Hopkins Pelief Chief, it was said authoritatively today to be the policy of senate leaders—at least for the present. There was' no sign today that Ickes and Hopkins were changing their stand on the subject of federal funds for Louisiana. The relief administration has put a man of its own choosing in charge of relief money in the delta state, and Ickes threatens to withhold PWA funds if Long’s state government insists on controlling the expenditures. Declaring states’ rights were be ing violated, Long shouted: “It is a new kind of Boston Tea Party that has been decreed by the President of the United States, in which he said to Louisiana: ‘Yield (Continued On Page Three) l one hip.
