WASTE OF MONEY
Rep. Treadway Charges
Covernment Report
“ LR ]
Was “‘Doctored
WASHINGTON. — (# — Two
phases of New Deal farm activity
—the vast tree belt projected for
the plaing states and a cotton
production report—were surround
ed by controversy todsy.
The house apprepriations com
mittee decided that $1,000,000 de
signed to carry on the tree plant
ing this year should be withheld;
Representative Johnson (D.-OKla,)
said many members felt it would
be “a waste of money.” .
Representative Treadaway (R.-
Mass.) was hammering away with
his charge that the Agriculture
department had ‘“doctored” the
cotton report, released on Febru
ary 4, because portions of the
original documnet might have
caused adverse reaction to the
AAA program.
From Dr. A. G. Black, chief of
'the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics, came the statement that
’only “some very minor changes”
lhad been made and that Secre
tary Wallace had not suggested
luny of them.
Complete Copy
Treadaway demanded that the
house be given “a complete and
unexpurgated copy,” which Black
indfeated would be §one. . Barlier
| the senate hm;..aw»fi 3.l
tion by ‘Sénator &2 Je -
’calling on Secretary Wallace for
| a copy of the report.
Besides lopping off the $1,000,-
'OOO asked to carry on the tree
shelter belt, which was designed
lto extend from the Texas Pan
,‘.mndle to the Canadian border to
cheek wind erosion, the house ap
ipropriations committee acted to
| make sure the money is not ob
| tained by transferring other funds.
| It" stipulated that no money pro
lvided in the Agriculture depart
! ment supply bill, which went to
| the house floor yesterday, shall
be used for the purpose.

month in the flood of gifts which

Ousting of 2 Officials Recalls
‘‘Similar Chapter” In History
By W. M. PEPPER, JR.
Asociated Press Staff Writer,
ATLANTA, Ga.— () —The re
moval of State Treasurer George
B. Hamilton for refusing to sign
a warrant recalled today another
ouster of a Georgia treasurer for
the same reason—but that time
the governor backed him up and
lost his job, too.
It wasg during the reconstruc
tion days of 1867-68 that State
Treasurer John Jones refused to
honor a warrant for $40,000 for
expenses of the constitutional
convention of those years. The
warrant was ordered by Major
General’ John Pope, federal mili
tary commander of the area, and
not by Governor C. J. Jenkins.
The governOr backed Jones up,
and shortly thereafter Major Gen
eral George G. Meade, who suc
ceeded General Pope, removed
both Jenking and Jones and re
placed them with military offi
cers. Later, General Meade also
removed Comptroller General John
