1 our Washington
Reporter
By Sarah Orr
Sinking Ship: Washington is
wondering why resignations in the
Department of Agriculture are
piling in so thick and fast. For
some time it has been rumored
that Secretary of Agriculture.
Henry A. Wallace, will retire from
the cabinet, one reason being
that his farm policies have not
met with favor at the White
House and elsewhere. Now in the
past week two of his main lieu
tenants have departed, Jesse W.
Tapp, former associate adminis
trator of the A. A. A. and presi
dent of the Surplus Commodities
Corporation, and Francis R. Wil
cox, director of the A. A. A. di
vision of marketing and market
ing agreements and vice-president
of the Surplus Commodities Cor
poration.
The 14th Women's Patriotic
Conference on National Defense
ended their Washington session
last week by definitely endorsing
President Roosevelt’s armament
program; opposed the Ludlow
amendment which calls for a na
tion-wide referendum before the
country can declare war; approv
ed the Dies Committee investigat
ing un-Americanisim; asked a
90% reduction in immigration
and demanded deportation of
aliens—two issues already made
by Representative Stephen Pace,
of Georgia; endorsed a bill mak
ing it a crime to advocate or pro
mote overthrow of the United
States Government—a measure
offered by Representative Malcolm
J. Tarver, of Dalton—and came
out strong for neutrality in our
foreign relations. Miss Beulah
Singleton, of Athens, represented
Georgia at the conference and
Miss Lucille Crabtree, of the same
city, accompanied her.
Weekly Actiivty of Georgians in
Congress: Senators Walter F.
George and Richard B. Russell,
Jr., voted against the restoration
of President Roosevelt’s W. P. A.
relief fund of $875,000,000. The
vote wheih defeated the White
House plan was 47 to 46 and
marked up a major rejection of
the Executive’s program.
Georgia’s Senior Senator voted
against the confirmation of for
mer relief administrator Harry L.
Hopkins for Secretary of Com
merce.
Senator Richard B. Russell of
fered a bill in the Senate provid
ing for a minimum payment of
$15 per month on old age pen
sions by Uncle Sam in States un
able to match federal funds. The
measure is in line with a resolu
tion passed by the Georgia As
sembly. The young Georgia Sen
ator said he would urge action
one his bill which would increase
the total benefits to $19, the State
now paying $4.00 with federal
payments amounting to $15.00.
Another Russell effort is a bill,
also in line with action taken by
the Georgia governing body, re
funding taxes paid by cotton
growers under the Bankhead Cot
ton Control Act. Representatives
Tarver and Pace have similar
measures pending in the House.
The bill authorizes an appropria
tion of $52,500,000. Farmers who
bought gin certificates would also
be reimbursed under the bill’s pro
visions.
Representative Hugh Peterson.
1st Georgia District, swung into
action last week in behalf of his
national land policy bill provid
ing homesteads, debt free, for ac
tual farm families. The Georgian
spoke at length on the floor j 1
Ihe House, amidst close attention,
citing the Mosaic law on farm
mortages. The Peterson bill au
thorizes the Secretary of Interioi
to buy mortage obligations and
the mortgagor would be released
from his liability. Bona fide farm
families would then be able to
take out homesteads.
Representative Robert W. Ram
speek, author of the bill to equal
ize freight rates in seetions of the
country,and chairman of the
House differential bloc, has nam
ed a commitee of 18 from State.'
of Southern and Western terri
tory to act as a steering body. The
personnel is composed of mem
bers from key States and each
occupies prominent positions on
House Committees.
A Huge Naval Base for the
coastal region of Georgia has been
proposed by Representative W.
Ben Gibbs, the State’s new Con
gressman of Jesup, and to sub
stantiate his claim a delegation
from Georgia will arrive in Wash
ington shortly. Included in th<
group who are expected are Ma
yor Hunter Hopkins, Frank Scar
let, president of the Chamber o ,
Commerce, R. A. Gould, chairmai
of the county commissioners, H. J
