Wa.shington,—In response to a radiogram from President Roosevelt, the House voted Mon day to make $60,000,000 of next year’s agriculture fund available immediaately to keep crop con trol checks flowing to farmers. Members of the House appro priations committee reported that the President had approved the transaction in order to replenish the regular $.500,000,000 benefit payment fund which has been de pleted by increased farmer com pliance with crop control plans. few minutes later they wrote the $60,000,000 into a $:10,069,- 13 9 deficiency bill designed to meet emergency needs of various government agencies until July 1. Rill .Sent to Senate Late in the day, the House passed the measure, which now goes to the Senate. Committee members announefed that an agreement had been reached with senators that an equal amount would be deducted from the 1941 farm appropria tion bill pending before the Sen ate appropriations committee. Secretary of Agriculture Wal lace. asserting that the Agricul ture Department had underesti mated the num,l)or of farmers who ■urrently would participate in tl'.e A.\.A programs, told the House committee that the transfer would not increase the total of $1,000,- 000,000 that would be appropri ated for the two years. He predicted, however, that it would result in a small decrease in individual payments to farm ers in 1941, Wallace AVanis CoMiinittee While the House was consider ing the deficiency bill, Wallace told the Senate appropriations committee, which is studying the 1911 appropriation measure, that failure to include money foi ’’par ity’’ payments Cr the equivalent might interfere with control pro grams. Farm state legislators have talked of voting about $200,000,00o for such payments. ‘Mystery Maid’ Of River Dies In Cabin Fire Cas.s(ville, Mo., Feb. 26.—The "mystery maid of Roaring River” (burned to death today. Searchers found the body of the 88-year-old woman. Miss Jeanne Wallace, in the smoulder ing ruins of the caMn where she had lived alone for .50 years. Her willingness to discuss the troubles of others brought many persons to her door. Throughout the Ozark hill country tales of Miss. Wallace spread until many believed she was gifted with a “second sight.” They said she had guided them to lost livestock and shown other “powers” beyond normal. But Miss Wallace once told an interviewer: "You know I am not a fortune teller. I cannot peek into the fu ture and never pretend to. My principal business is mending broken hearts and giving advice to folks who are so bverwhelmed with trouble and sorrow that their cwm minds cannot see a way out. Always I point them to God and prayer. Those are the cures for just about all our troubles.” Miss Wallace, once a trained nurse in New York, came here for her health. She said she was born at sea, the daughter of a sea cap tain.
