The Elkin Tribune North Carolina's Leading 1 Weekly Newspaper ducted in New Hampshire by Representatives Beiter and Wads worth of New York, to find out what became of 34 ballots which were cast at the 1936 election for Congressman in the first New Hampshire District. This is part of an effort to de cide the first "dead heat" Con gressional election in 110 years. Republican candidate Arthur B. jenks and Democratic candidate Alphonse Roy were each credited with exactly the same number of votes. 51.679, on the original count. A recount was held, and Mr. Jenks was credited with 10 additional votes. He took his seat in Congress, but his right to it has been challenged by Mr. Beit er, who claims that 34 legitimate ballots cast for him were either lost or stolen while the recount was in progress. The committee of two is taking the testimony of election officials and other witnesses to find out, if they can, where those 34 bal lots went. On their report will depend whether Mr. Jenks retains his seat in Congress or whether Mr. Roy takes his place. Change in Cabinet Hinted When the President agreed to a continuance of Federal loans on the cotton crop in exchange for a THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA ~ i '] > r ■ ■ -, . ■ ■ , promise by Congress that it would give early consideration at the next session to a new plan for Federal crop control, he gave all of the members of Congress, es pecially those from predominant ly agricultural districts, work to do over the recess. What mem bers want to know is how much and what kind of crop control their farmer constituents want or will stand for, if any. Nobody knows exactly what the President has in mind, but well informed Washington observers say that he no longer sees eye to eye with his Secretary of Agri culture on this subject. Mr. Wal lace is said to be shying away from any new plunge into rigid production control. The President wants to start where the AAA left off, with even more control. The rumor is that a serious rift has developed be tween the President and Mr. Wal lace, who has been away from Washington most of the summer, and a cabinet change is hinted at. Meantime the International In stitute of Agriculture, in its an nual meeting at its headquarters in Rome, has gone on record as opposing any artificial crop con trol, such as is practiced, it points out, in the totalitarian states of Russia, Germany and Italy, and in the United States. The welfare of the world de pends upon increased production and more efficient distribution in order that the economic needs of all people shall be supplied, says the Institute. Edward F. McGrady Resigns The resignation of Edward P. McGrady from the post of As sistant Secretary of Labor to be come the counselor on labor re lations of a big industrial corpor ation is regarded here with regret that the Administration has lost the services of one of its ablest harmonizers in the troubled field with which the Labor Depart ment is concerned. Mr. McGrady has been the "stabilizer" of the department in the difficulties arising from the activity of the C. I. 0., and is credited with having brought Secretary Perkins around to a more impartial point of view on strike tactics than she held when she expressed the opinion that sit-down strikes were not illegal. The Resettlement Administra tion, the pet project of Prof. Rex Tugwell for putting people back on the land, has gone out of ex istence. In its place has been set up the Farip Security Adminis tration, under the Secretary of Agriculture, which will carry the Resettlement Administration's projects on the completion but will launch no more. The new board will administer the Bankhead-Jones Farm Ten ancy Act, with the same person nel which has beeh engaged in re settlement work. The big job ahead of them includes, besides financing tenant farmers to be come farm owners, a wide pro gram of land utilization and con servation. International Situation Tense Secretary of State Hull, accord ing to Washington gossips, is bit terly disappointed that his dream of bringing the world back to sanity under the leadership of the United States, by means of xeciprocal treaties to restore the free flow of trade, has had no ef fect In preventing the occurrence of one international crisis after another. The far from peaceful inter national situation is giving the Administration much more serious concern than appears on the sur face of official pronouncements. Memories hark back to the ad ministration of Woodrow Wilson, under whom President Roosevelt served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Wilson had start ed a New Deal of his own. He was driving ahead to broad reforms when the World War; came along, halting his program at once, because the economic up heaval was felt in America for nearly three years before we got into the war. The world today is again on the brink of serious trouble. Whether this country becomes involved or not, any out break of genral warfare, either in Europe or the Par East, would se riously affect American business and industry and reduce the pub lics' receptivity to programs of re form. War invloving Japan to the ex tent of impairing her ability to buy American goods would cost us the sale of $100,000,000 of cotton and about $250,000,000 of other goods. That is what is worrying the Administration. • | BURCH Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Sneed and son, J. M., Jr., of Winston-Salem, and Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
