poetry as not a mere matter Df

Incroa.sing payment, Wallace said,
“might lead some people to suppose
there was justification for recent
criticism in the senate of the AAA
conservation program.”
This criticism,- Wallace wrote, in
cluded “sensational .statements . . .
that farniers <lndn’t earn the pay
ments, that the payments constitute
a racket, and that expenditures for
them shoubl be drastically curtailed.”
Thtv cabinet member siaid he favored

yidod- by congr^ for farm benefits
junder the 1936 program “in view of
our pre.sent fiscal siitUation.”
Payments are . still going out and
.\AA officials said they expecteil to
have some unexpected funds. They
were unable to estimate the amount.
Wallace said all farmers who par-
t>cipate<l last year were receiving 100
per cent of the rates originally an
nounced.” He said the only increases
in payment rates had been to offset
deductions for local administrative
con.spiiring to overthrow the United
States government on the island, es
caped injury late to<lay as between
12 and 15 shots were fired at him.
He was returning to his home when
the incident Occurred.
The nationalists were flown to the
Unite<l yesterday and arrived '
in Atlan^ eariy this morning at the
federal penitentiary to begin serving
their sentences. '/
Their terms range from four to ten
years. Among the eight was Pedro
Albizu Campos, president of the Na
tionalist party_and former. Harvard
student. He was sentenctnl to a ten--
y«»ar..^ri8on term after being convict-
ed of attempting to overthrow the
government by force, formenting vio
lence and trying to recruit an irmy
of independence.

was a regular fusilla<le. ^

The si4:retary said that'if payments The,^ assailants were grouped about
were increased ten per cent in the an automobilit*^ upon which they ap-
.South the same thing should be jdone
in all other sections. He estimated
this would reijuire $30,000,000.
Wallace -said he doubted that “a
majority” of farmers favored an in
crease because “they realizeil that the
increase woujd not result in addi
tional soil conservatioh.”
Recalling that the senate had re
moved $60,000,000 >ecently from the
$500,000,000 benefit payment fund for
the 1087 program approved by the
Widely Known In State

house and requested by the aiiminis-JJudge Robert A. Cooper,' who escaped
tration, Wallace said AAA officials
“feel bound to give great weight and
respect to this action by the senate.”
“We do not feel justified,” Wallace
concluded^'/*in the absence of specific
direction from congress to take such
a step, in increasing the 1986 pay
ments in any region.”
