Late the big dairy interests sought to get an amendment in to provide that the acres taken out of production for cash crops could not be used for grazing.

Pointing out that the small farmers used his cows mainly to provide food for the home, I opposed this amendment, and we suc- ceededjn defeating it. FACE of the most em. barrased members of the Congress last week was Representative Rich of Pennsylvania. He had made a long speech declaring that the actions of the Roosevelt Administration had left business tottering on the brink of destruction. He warned that unless the Republicans were put back in control that ruin was right around the corner.

A day or two later Representative Blanton of Texas got hold of a letter sent out by Rich Brothers, a shoe manufacturing concern owned by the Congressman and his brother, to customers and stockholders. This letter which Blanton proceeded to read into the record, said that Rich Brothers last year had enjoyed the best business in the 105 the firm 's history. Representative Rich strenuously objected. He said he had not signed the letter. He did not deny, however, that letter told the truth.
